In 1996 I got a crown on my front tooth. Now I had it replaced(chipped-grinding).It's taken this DDS 4 tries, finally he brought in the lab tech. In natural light it's a perfect match but indoors it seems to be stand out as too white and reflective. My gum line is very dark there and my teeth are very white but translucent.
