Do All Porcelain Crowns Stain?

February 8, 2011
Asked By:Chicago2438 in Chicago, IL

I recently had my front teeth crowned and the dentist had to do some recontouring in order for them to fit properly. Most of this was done on the backs of the crowns, but some on the sides for easier flossing I assume. Are these areas more likely to stain since some of the porcelain surface has been removed?
