I've just had 10 Da Vinci veneers in a shaded blend of 1M1/OM3 and I think they're far too white / fake. I'm devastated. I loved my temporaries (same shape but in a B1 shade) but regrettably I decided to go more white. I'm whitening my lower teeth to try and match, but suspect I'll have to redo the veneers. Any thoughts about color? Might it be the material/shininess as opposed to the whiteness that's causing the fake-ness? Is there anything else I should focus on with the dentist? Thank you.

Answer: Veneers too white I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your final result. Did you look at the veneers before they were bonded? You mentioned that it was your choice to go whiter than your temps so your dentist might not be too excited about removing them. Discuss your concerns with your dentist, but don't expect them to be willing to replace the veneers at no cost to you.

Answer: They look pretty nice. Keep whitening the lowers and I think you'll find that you will like the way everything looks after you've had them for a week or two. Patients are usually more pleased to go with a lighter shade as you did. Patients usually don't have regrets going lighter rather than darker. They look nice in your photo. Can you post your "before" photo? Have you considered treating your lower teeth with veneers to re shape how they've been worn un evenly? It may be that you would want to treat your lower teeth with the same type of veneer that you did on top and then everything would blend quite nicely.Douglas Jopling, DDS Dallas, TX area
