After regretably having my tooth drilled and filled 10 years ago to cover a white patch on my tooth. I have now been left with a terrible yellowy darkened tooth after the composite has been changed numerous times. It has been suggested i now veneer it using one of the best ceramicist in the US..my question is, will a single veneer still match my teeth in 15 years time or will i still be left with mismatched teeth

Answer: Single Veneers It is very hard to predict if your single veneer will match in 15 years, but most likely the shades will not match. Even using the best ceramist in the world it will still be difficult to get a perfect color match. I would expect multiple visits with your dentist where the veneer will need to be sent back to the ceramist for color modifications before the veneer will be permanently cemented. In addition, our teeth do not stay the same color as we age, and over time you will most likely develop a color mismatch. You can use tooth whitening procedures to try to keep all the teeth all the same color, but you will need to be consistent and may need to whiten often.
