Eating a hard taco broke my veneer in front! It look a little light brown an weird so will i have to. Repace all four so they can look the same?
Answer: Broken front tooth, what next? #RealSelf100 #SarahThompsonDMD Hello Anges,If you fractured a tooth in the front, a very good cosmetic dentist should be able to veneer that tooth, matching the shade and shape of that tooth without a noticeable difference. I have done this many times for patients. It is not necessary to get four veneers if you are not changing the shade or size of the teeth. I would recommend choosing your dentist wisely by looking at before and after pics of patients that dentist has done. This will prevent you having to have the procedure redone in a short time period or prevent you from having a non matching tooth. Good luck and I hope this helps. Follow me if you have more questions.Sarah Thompson, DMDReal Self 100

Answer: Replacing One Veneer With a master lab technician and digital shade matching it should not be a problem to replace one veneer and have it match the others. Schedule an appointment with an experienced cosmetic dentist and it should only take two appointments to complete. Good luck.

Answer: Broken Veneer It is not impossible to match a new veneer to your existing veneers. We use digital photographs and shade tabs to help the lab visualize the shape, contour and color of your existing veneers. It may take a few appointments to get the shade correct!

Answer: Veneer replacement Good morning,Sorry to hear about your broken veneer. I have been doing Cosmetic Dentistry for over 26 years and have been using the same laboratories since I started. I am always confident in these artists that they can match the other veneers if they look good so in my hands I would say yes you can. Sometimes however, it is not as easy for a ceramist to match just one tooth therefore, my answer is...it depends on the lab and the dentist. Replacing one tooth is definitely more challenging yet certainly can be done.Hope this helps!Amanda Canto DDS
