Picking the right shade for an eMax crown?

Question

This week I return to my dentist to let him know that I'm not happy with the color and shade of the emax crowns he put in my mouth 2 weeks ago ( temporary cement ). Any suggestion on how to best pick the right color and shade for my new set of crowns.

Kathy Frazar, DDS, FAGD · Answer

Having crowns placed that youre not happy with actually should make selecting new shade much easier as you and your dentist can with guides against your present temporary seated crowns cannarrow a selection to your desire more exactly..The photo to me shows that your 4 front crowns are lighter than your natural cuspids and do not match....Your new crowns will be not be of this present higher value so they will  match your natural teeth..You will make this choice with your dentist...Good luck.

Hi:The best way is to talk to the lab technician directly to make custom shades for you and discuss your concerns.Best,Dr. Maddahi

The best way to pick a shade is to go to a local lab and have them take a custom shade. You can personally discuss your desires with the lab technician. You may have to pay more for this but it will be worth it. Good luck.
