Will My Crown Match The Colour Of The Vaneer Next To It

Wednesday, February 6th, 2013
Q.

Hi,
4 years ago I had porcelain veneers fitted to my 2 front teeth and one tooth next to them on the NHS. I have been very happy with them and made lfestlye changes and conducted what I thought was good oral hygeine to care for them.
ONe of my front veneers came off at the weekend and smashed. At my NHS dentist on Monday she said I cant have another veneer as the quality of the tooth underneath isnt good enough so I need a crown.
I’m concerned that a porcelain fused to metal crown is not going to colour match the 2 veneers either side of it. She didnt give me any information about how it would look and dismissed my concerns that a black line would eventually show. Even though I know this to be the case after time!
What would be your advice on how to get the best aesthetics and strength in my front tooth?

Thankyou

Should I have my veneers replaced or go ahead with brace treatment instead?

Monday, August 20th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I was hoping for some advice regarding the replacement of veneers. I have had veneers since I was 11 – I had 2 fitted to my lateral incisors as they were tiny and pointed, and I then had 2 more fitted at about 12/13 to my canine teeth for a similar reason. Although it was a definite improvement, I was never particularly happy with them, and had them replaced at 18. This set have been slightly better but I’m now nearly 26 and am still not entirely happy. I’ve always felt my canine teeth are too prominent, and my incisors too small. I think I had teeth removed when I was younger as the canines were growing above, and although they moved back roughly into place, I never had braces to sort them (and what I think is a slight overbite from years of thumb sucking!) out. I feel they face towards the front too much and stick out from the line of my other teeth (I am constantly faffing with them), and the small size of the adjacent teeth only makes them more prominent. I also feel I’d like my teeth to be slightly whiter – I consulted my dentist about this but she advised me that my teeth are already fairly light and I would only get a few shades whiter with a bleaching treatment, which might not be worth it. However, I’m not really after “Hollywood white” teeth, I just feel that because I have very pale skin, my teeth can have a tendency to look a little yellow and I’d like them to look a bit brighter. I suppose my main question is whether it would be worth looking into having replacement veneers and whitening at this stage – if I had new veneers applied to my 6 front teeth at the top, might it be likely to give a more unified look? Or do I need to resort to something like braces to realign the canines before I consider having them replaced? At this age, I’m not much keen on that idea, but at the same time I don’t want to spend a lot of money on veneers and still be unhappy. I realise this is probably a long winded and difficult question to answer without seeing my teeth, and to be honest, I haven’t seen the teeth under my veneers for so long, I don’t know how much is down to the tooth alignment, and how much is down to the size of the veneers. I’m just looking for some advice on the best course of action, which my Denplan dentist seems a bit reluctant to offer me. I recently chipped quite a large piece off one of my veneers and she wouldn’t even consider replacing it. I am considering changing over to a more cosmetic based dental practice, but am hoping to know what my options might be beforehand. Hope you can help, and apologies for the long message. Thanks.

Are veneers fitted one or two at a time or all at once?

Monday, September 26th, 2011
Q.

I think I would benefit from some veneers. Can you tell me whether it is possible to have veneers fitted one or two at a time, rather than all at once, or would that a) make it difficult to fit further veneers to neighbouring teeth, and b) will they look odd against my existing teeth? My main problem is that a front lower tooth has become crooked and there is a gap between 2 of my teeth. Thank you very much doctor

What should my crowns be made out of to match my veneers?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hi Mark,

I want to ask you … what are the best front crowns for colour matching against a vaneer for your front teeth? and how long do they last in comparison to the porcelain on metal or all porcelain. I would love to have my teeth whitened but have been told by my dentist that it is not possible to do on crowns and vaneers?

Please could you advise

Many thanks

Mrs frobisher

How can I make the colour of my root canaled tooth match the rest of my remaining teeth?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, about two years ago i had a root canal treatment on my front tooth (top left), unfortunately it has taken a lot of the whiteness out of that tooth and it is clearly visible. Is there anything you could suggest to make it look the same as the tooth next to it? Thank you,

I would like my veneers to match perfectly, any advice?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I currently have a white composite veneer on my Upper Left 1 tooth as a result of the tooth darkening from an incident at school where I bumped my tooth on my knee. I am 21 and a trainee dental nurse, although I do have straight teeth it bothers me when i see that my two front teeth do not match and i am seriously considering my options for veneers etc… What would be the best way around this for me? Would I be best getting two matching veneers because the tooth with the composite veneer is higher up in my gum than the other? I would like for them to match perfectly because from having braces for years when younger I can’t stand that im not happy with my teeth! Am i best using the Dental Practice I work at or going to a cosmetic surgery and paying that bit extra? thank you ,

I want my capped tooth to look identical to my other tooth, what do you suggest?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
Q.
Unfortunately my front took was chipped and so i got it capped. However, that one tooth is wonky and sticks out quite noticably. I recently went to the dentist and she said the best thing to do is to get a root canal. However, when i asked if this would then make my capped tooth look idential to my other tooth, she didn’t look convince that it would. All i want is these two teeth to match! Its really getting me down. I am a student & so haven’t the funding. However, i only have a HC3 certificate so procedures will still be pricey.,
