Why do some veneers look fake?+
Common culprits include a shade far lighter than the neighbouring teeth, flat surfaces, overly uniform edges or excessive width. Discussing these points during planning gives you a chance to steer away from them.
May I choose something less bright than the shade guide’s lightest options?+
Shade is something you and the dentist agree on before fabrication. Tell them directly if you want a colour in keeping with your untreated teeth.
Can a veneer have texture like a real tooth?+
Surface texture is among the design qualities agreed on before fabrication. Raise your interest in it during planning, and look closely at how it appears when you evaluate the try-in.
Is it possible to treat fewer teeth for a subtler effect?+
It may be. The number depends on your visible smile, your symmetry and your colour transitions, and more teeth are not automatically better.
Would bonding look more natural than ceramic?+
Neither can be called more natural in every case. For selected smaller changes, bonding may fit the goal, so ask for the two to be compared on your own teeth.
