How do I avoid veneers that look too white?+
Choosing a shade in relation to your natural teeth, lips and facial features helps. Seeing it in the design and at the try-in gives you chances to adjust before bonding.
Can veneers be whitened later if I want them brighter?+
Whitening products do not lighten porcelain or composite the way they lighten enamel. Choosing the shade carefully at the outset matters for that reason.
Why match veneers to teeth that are not being treated?+
Untreated teeth remain visible when you smile, so a veneer that is much lighter than them can stand out. The match is planned with those teeth in mind.
How long should I wait after whitening before shade matching?+
The shade is matched once your whitened colour has stabilised. Ask how long that period should be in your case, since it can vary.
Does lighting at the clinic affect the shade I pick?+
Lighting affects how any tooth looks. Asking to view a shade in different light can help you choose one that works in daily life.
