Porcelain veneers are an investment in your smile. Teeth that are worn, crooked, misaligned, or discolored can be beautifully transformed with these thin wafers of porcelain. But what if you\u2019ve been waiting to get your dream smile only to find that your porcelain veneers don\u2019t match? Consider three factors before making a hasty decision.<\/p>\n

1. Have They Been Bonded On?<\/h2>\n

If your porcelain veneers don\u2019t match but have not been permanently bonded in place, stop. Don\u2019t allow your dentist to bond them on. The try-in is your opportunity to let your dentist know whether or not you\u2019re completely satisfied with your veneers.<\/p>\n

Porcelain is colorfast, so the color can\u2019t be changed. Once they have been bonded on, it\u2019s too late. Before they are bonded, let your dentist know that you\u2019re aware of the mismatch and you’re dissatisfied. The veneers should be removed and sent back to the laboratory to be remade. Don\u2019t hesitate to let your dentist know there is a problem with your smile makeover.<\/p>\n

2. Insist on a Match<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t let anyone convince you that the mismatch in color is okay or that you\u2019ll get used to it. It won\u2019t take long until you\u2019re completely dissatisfied and looking for ways to get the off-color porcelain veneers removed and replaced. You paid for smile enhancements, so insist on a match. Settling for less will detract from your smile and become stressful as you find yourself hesitant to smile.<\/p>\n

3. Get a Second Opinion<\/h2>\n

Porcelain veneers cannot be lightened or darkened.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you have given your dentist a reasonable amount of time to correct the veneers that don\u2019t match but have not received positive results, it\u2019s time for a second opinion. A true cosmetic dentist is an artist<\/a> who knows how to manipulate porcelain so all veneers will match.<\/p>\n

Schedule appointments with at least two cosmetic dentists\u2014preferably accredited dentists\u2014to examine your veneers<\/a>. Unfortunately, your porcelain veneers will need to be replaced with new ones. An accredited cosmetic dentist will work with a master ceramist to produce beautiful veneers that match and make you feel confident\u2014not embarrassed\u2014about smiling.<\/p>\n

It is possible that the dentist who originally placed your veneers will be willing to negotiate with you on the expense of having the veneers replaced.<\/p>\n
