Opal Ingot?

[RileyS]

so got this case. Both centrals. Pt has been bleaching for two weeks. Stumpf is A3.5. Pics from doc.
Do I try an opal emax ingot allowing for show through of prep while keeping incisal trans blue opal? Doc would rather have no layering for this pt.

Opal 1 or 2 will be too translucent. They are meant to be enamel replacement.
If you were just reshaping the facials of the teeth they would probably work.

Maybe consider a HT ingot 1 shade lighter than the target shade, and stain the ging as needed, and just cut back and layer the facial Inc 1/3rd (keeping the ling intact for the strength as the Drs probably looking for) for the desired stain effect/Inc effect as your looking for. As long as you maintain around ~6-7ths (confirm the thickness in the wax up),you won't show a prep line or lower the HT value when your working with a nice background like that. Using a V (opal/MT) ingot, you probably wouldn't be able to get the across the board chroma coming through mesially-distally, having to use much stain to make up the difference=s muddy looking.

This is the one I'm currently working on, not quite the nice prep shades as you have
