I want to get crowns and veneers on 8 front teeth. I already have 2 crowns 1 on the front tooth and another on the side tooth. I am concerned that my crowns may look brighter/differnet next to the veneers? Will it be a disprancy with how they look in the light or the should all look the same? Will I get a better result with all crowns?
Answer: Color Matching Veneers to Crowns
Without question crowns and veneers can be matched to look the same. The question is what kind of crowns do you have? Are your current crowns all porcelain or to they have any metal in them. If they are porcelain fused to metal crowns they will be much more difficult to match because they reflect light differently than do all porcelain crowns. In that case I would replace the two crowns when you are doing the others. If they are all porcelain, a very high end dental lab can match them off of digital pictures taken by your cosmetic dentist.

Answer: Matching New Veneers to Existing Crowns My recommendation to you would be to do all of the teeth together (replacing the existing crowns). This will give your cosmetic dentist the freedom to make the veneers as beautiful as possible - and not be limited to what you already have. Adding these 2 more teeth into your treatment plan will be a significant investment, however if you're going to spend the money on a new smile -- do you want to have barriers limiting how beautiful your dentist can make the porcelain? Also -- when making this investment -- make sure you have an experienced cosmetic dentist working for you.

Answer: Tricky
It will be a little hard.
There will always be a very slight difference because of the thickness of the materials.
All crowns is a solution but might be a little aggressive.
Make sure you have the technician who will make your crowns/veneers see photos of the teeth after they are prepared/exposed.
Your dentist will help you with that.

Answer: Veneers and crowns can be matched The most important factor in successful matching is the skill of the cosmetic team you are working with. A skillful ceramist can match anything, but that said, it may be difficult to do and they may need a few tries to do it so you can expect to pay more if you are demanding a single tooth be matched to another if it is a difficult match. If you are changing out the crowns and doing all the veneers at the same time it can become a lot easier to match and the dentist and ceramist can create a more predictable outcome. I would recommend replacing everything all at once to make it more predictable.

Answer: My lab can easily match crowns and veneers If you have a good lab and an experienced dentist you should not have any problems. Before he or she cements them have them try them in your mouth and see if you like them..if they dont match then have them remade...Your DDS should be willing to do that for you.
