Will whitening the back of my tooth help to prevent the veneer shade to get darker?

lingual bleach
Jul 11, 2019

I guess it depends on material used? EMax? empress? Feldspathic? All of these materials have different properties and how was the restoration made? cut back and layered or stained and glazed?In theory you can bleach the lingual surfaces and “maintain” a tooth value but I have found this to be hard to do. If color is changing an earlier post was correct discussing the vitality of the nerve, and internal bleaching. In nature the centrals should always be slightly higher in value due to the…

Am I a Good Candidate for a Single Veneer?

rotated tooth
Apr 8, 2013

The position is likely due to a malocclusion from the lower canine. if the tooth is simply prepped and made to look aligned you still need to manage the cause of the problem.
