What change could make the eMax in sunlight look more natural?

mikeanthony27Feb 7, 2022
Porcelain veneers (emax Bl3) look natural indoors, but flat/less real in bright sunny outdoor lighting. So I just received some veneers a couple months ago, they turned out a amazing. Indoors they look great, nice natural shine and not too white. Outdoors though in sunlight, they look super white and flat. Like you can tell they are veneers. Obviously sunlight can show the detail in anything, but it seems like the porcelain isn’t translucent enough? To my knowledge emax is less translucent than feldspathic. So would change could make the emax in sunlight look more natural? Thank you!
