If you enjoy coffee, wine, or even the occasional blueberry smoothie, you may be wondering:
Will permanent dental implants stain over time like natural teeth do?
It’s a fair question—especially when you're considering full-mouth dental implants as a long-term investment in your health and confidence.
To help answer this, Nuvia performed a bold experiment. The same 24-hour permanent teeth patients receive after surgery were submerged in some of the most notoriously staining substances. We’re talking the kind of long-term exposure you'd get from drinking tens of thousands of cups of coffee or glasses of wine.
Here’s how those teeth held up:
Permanent teeth from Nuvia were exposed to:
- Coffee
- Red wine
- Blueberries
- Molasses
- Motor oil (not edible, but used to test extremes—please don’t try this at home)

We even compared Nuvia’s zirconia teeth to a set of traditional dentures soaked in coffee to highlight the difference, and the results were shocking.
So… Did They Stain?
Here’s how they held up:
Red Wine: After the equivalent of over 11,000 glasses, not a trace of red remained.
Blueberries: More than 30,000 servings in, still perfectly white.
Molasses: Over 31,000 candies’ worth of sticky, dark sugar — and still no stain.
Motor Oil: While it should never be consumed, we left our teeth soaking in motor oil to test the limits. Result? Still pearly white.
Coffee: We went all in on this one: the permanent teeth from Nuvia sat in coffee for three entire months — equal to over 131,000 cups.
Still no staining. Zero. Nada.

Well... What About Dentures?
The dentures didn’t stand a chance. Coffee left them discolored and dull, just one of many common frustrations denture wearers are likely to have. Others include:
- Slipping or shifting during meals
- Discomfort when speaking
- Loss of taste from the denture covering the roof of the mouth
