Hey, my dentist identified my teeth shade as being an A3.5 shade. I am considering veneers, what shading would you recommend? Also considering it being A3.5, yellow colored. Would I need to do the bottom teeth as well? She did not recommend whitening. My teeth are decayed but was told that there is sufficient enamel for veneers. Thank You

Answer: Veneer Shade I always recommend whitening prior to placing veneers if the shade is not something we would be happy with at the end of treatment. If you're happy with the shade of your teeth and A3.5 will be the shading of the veneers, that's ok. If you're not happy with the shade or you think maybe down the road, you might consider wanting whiter teeth, I would say whiten now. If the shade of the veneer is A3.5, you won't need to whiten the lowers. Otherwise, you should whiten the lowers so there isn't a disparity between top and bottom. I can't comment on whether or not you might need veneers for the bottom. You just may need them whitened. I hope this helps!

Answer: What shade should veneers be? There is more to this question than just picking a color. What is your age? What color are your eyes, hair and skin tone? These things need to be taken into account so that the veneers won't look false. Also, the whiter you choose to go the greater the need to either veneer your lower teeth or whiten them. Ask your dentist why they didn't address your lower teeth. Before you move forward with treatment make sure you are comfortable with your decision.
