You and your dentist should agree upon the shade of your veneers before crafting a wax model.<\/p>\n<p>Speak with your dentist about <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-lumineers.html\">correcting the color and thickness<\/a> of the too-white veneer and whitening your teeth to match the porcelain veneers closer. If your dentist hesitates, we recommend scheduling a consultation with an advanced cosmetic dentist for the following services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Whiten your natural teeth<\/strong> &#8211; It is possible a skilled cosmetic dentist can whiten your natural teeth to match the color of your porcelain veneers closely. A cosmetic dentist will need to examine your teeth to determine if you are a candidate for teeth bleaching. If you are, the dentist will explain the results you can expect with whitening and how closely your natural teeth will match the veneers. Ordinarily, you should get teeth whitening before veneers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get a new porcelain veneer <\/strong>\u2013 Your dentist and ceramist can collaborate to replace the veneer that is whiter than the others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We strongly suggest taking the time to find an experienced cosmetic dentist. You may want to find a few cosmetic dentists experienced with porcelain veneers and have a consultation with each to compare the options and costs. After you get a second opinion, you can consider speaking with your dentist about fair compensation for having the extra work done by another dentist.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\">Metairie, Louisiana, dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune sponsors this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, I got porcelain veneers on my 4 top front teeth.
