How Can Veneers Match My Other Teeth?

Veneers are becoming increasingly popular in the cosmetic dentistry world. They can hide gaps, chips, discoloration, or teeth that are too small. Yet, some people may worry whether their veneers will look too white or unnatural. 

The great thing about veneers is that they are very customizable. Patients may even choose to apply veneers to all their teeth, or only a few, depending on their needs and preferences. With the help of dental professionals, your veneers can be adapted to your desired tooth color, shape, and size. 

Matching Veneers to Natural Teeth

Dental professionals use many different techniques to make your veneers look like your real teeth.

• Digital color-matching technology matches your veneers to your natural teeth by analyzing their color, translucency, and texture.

• Shade guides are sometimes used to compare your original teeth in various lightings to ensure the veneers look natural indoors and outdoors.

• Staining and glazing are two techniques that add subtle color variations and translucency to veneers so that they reflect light the way natural teeth do.

The Process

The initial veneer consultation with your dentist is highly important for getting the results you want with veneers. During this consultation, your dentist will discuss with you the shade and shape you would prefer for the veneers. 

The dentist will then use a 3-D scanner or a tray with putty to take imprints of your teeth. They then use the imprints to make the veneers according to your specifications.
