How much soft drink would you have to drink to stain the dental veneer?

Q. Hi, today I got composite veneers fitted, but not in the way that was detailed here, they used composite to build up the tooth. Anyway, how much soft drink would you have to drink to stain the veneer?,
A. Beverages such as tea, coffee or fruit juices and foods like curries can leave stains, which are not easy to remove by brushing. These stains develop slowly and become more visible as we grow older. Composite bonding may need repacing in the future, it is difficult to suggest how far off in the future because it depends on your diet and cleaning and whether you have a regular visit to your hygienist. Veneers on the other hand do not stain.
