Why are my veneers turning grey? Do you know why, and can this color change be corrected?

Question

I have several veneers on my bottom teethfor several years. Only 3 are turning grey. Can the color change be corrected?

Kourosh Maddahi, DDS · Answer

Hi:Usually the reason the color of the veneer turns grey is due to the color of the tooth showing through the veneer.  It can only be corrected by replacing the veneer and using opaquer under the veneer to mask the color of the tooth.  An experienced cosmetic dentist is always recommended when doing veneers.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hello,Sometimes the discoloration could be result of the veneers picking up stain from the foods consumed (coffee, tea, soda, etc.). I would get the veneers evaluated by your dentist to see if the discoloration can be polished off.Dr. Mazaheri
