In fact when I look at it closer,even though the value is the same,the bicuspids look higher in value than the rest.It's the darker tissue that gives more contrast .
Al, I'd bet if you called 'that' Doctor and asked, he'd say they looked gorgeous. His ring flash is so intense that it is actually washing out the color. It's a photography issue, not a color or ceramist problem. Tell him to buy a different camera (he can afford it ) or change the flash setting.
Yeah this Dr is in Florida.
Im wondering If I should opaque the gin 1/3 with C or D range opaques for A range shade requests?
Al,
See if they will take a value shade for you. As well, a chroma shade. I almost never see the value & chroma shade the same in natural teeth. I will always opaque it with the value shade and build with the chroma shade. With d.Sign, I will always go a shade or two darker at the margins if building to a porc/metal margin. Hope this helps. I agree with another post, you are being way to hard on yourself!!

Now that is very intresting.
So you may have a D2 value but a A2 chroma so you opaque D2 but layer A2.
Al,
Exactly !
When we think about it, light passes through the trans incisal & dentin, hits the opaque and passes back out to the eye of the observer. This has the greatest influence on what we see as the value.

The internal staining is done and ready for the 3rd and final tooth form build and bake.
Trans incisal 1 OE1 and OE4
Ready for 4th bake. Ist tissue and teeth form touch ups.
Gin 4 and G4/OE4 mixed 50/50
Ready for the 5th and final build.
Ok the 5th and final bake.
Now the work is done and it is ready to be slicked up and glazed.
Till now I have done minimal grinding. Only thining the edges after the first bake and adjusting the occlusion.
Yeah this Dr is in Florida.
