I put on new veneers, but one of the central incisors color is darker than the other-this incisors had a root canal before a month-. one literal incisors is also darker-this one is also had a root canal two months ago-. i first think this is a fault of veneers color.the dentist remove them and put the temporary teeth- until the new veneers prepared- i noticed that even these temporary have the same difference of color!! Any idea what causes that? Can it be fixed? Thanks in advance
Answer: #Veneer is a different color, what now ... #RealSelf100 #DrSarahThompson The only way to fix this is to have the veneer redone. If the veneer is darker, then it could be the tooth underneath the veneer that is causing the darker color. Good luck and I hope this info helps you.

Answer: Dark Tooth Showing Through Porcelain Veneer This is a common problem with dark stained teeth with root canals, but can usuallly be avoided with the proper steps prior to placing the veneer. Call this to the attention of your dentist and give them the opportunity to correct it. If they say that they cannot, then seek out a highly trained dentist that does a significant amount of cosmetic dentistry. They will be able to give you the options to correct this. Good luck.

Answer: Discoloured Veneer The only way to fix this is to have the veneer redone. Root canal treated teeth change colour after a period of time and since veneers are thin, this colour change starts to show through them causing the discoloured/darker appearance.Best of luck!

Answer: Color problems Good news. Yes, these are always challenges faced by cosmetic dentists when choosing materials.A Good conversation between the laboratory and your dentist must occur. These root canal treated teeth are given different instructions when a good cosmetic oriented dentist communicates with their laboratory.Yes, these can be made to match the other teeth. Do not accept inferior work. Photos of the teeth colors underneath the veneers is alway essential to be sent. The laboratory will make up for the darker shade in its fabrication of those laminates.When making these over for you, the dentist may have not have prepared enough to give the lab enough to work with to create the shade match you need. That may be why you still see the color through the temporaries again. Do not accept laminates again if they do not match. Have dentist call their lab and ask questions directly. Patients sometimes go to the lab directly to a lab for a shade match in difficult cases, until it's right. Hopefully, the dentist will learn from their errors, it can happen to all of us sometimes, but cosmetic dentists are extremely well versed in color, and shade changes, particularly in these types of cases which we see on a frequent basis.We prepare the teeth differently, and prescribe color differently for these darker shaded teeth. And most importantly....photos and communication with the laboratory can work out these challenges.Good luck and do not settle it you are not happy and there is still a noticeable difference. Ask your friends. If they see it too, there is STILL A PROBLEM TO BE WORKED OUT.
