Hi Everyone
I am a dental patient having work done on my teeth. It's been a long process for me (12 years)...when I first got a root canal for a dead tooth that turned into a bad veneer...which led to two other bad veneers on a lateral incisor...then an crown, then an implant crown, then doing teeth 7-10...and now possibly 5-12.
My question is my latest try-in was a 4 set of feldspathic veneers for 7-10. The color is too yellow. And they need to be more opaque? Or Whiter... so now we are discussing doing 4 additional teeth to make it 5-12 for sizing issues.
My question is - since the first set is too yellow...how will the ceramist fix this? My dentist talked to me about the ceramist changing the staining...but I thought with feldspathic the color was made through layering porcelain. Isn't staining just like painting on a color and then glazing it? How can you go from a darker color to a lighter color with feldspathic?
After 12 years of this and so much money...I feel like I should not have to settle for a short cut ...which I feel like staining is for feldspathic. I'm not a ceramist nor am I a dentist. I've just spent half my life trying to fix a dead tooth that has lead me to work with a bunch of dentist and ceramist that have given me some good and a lot of bad advice.
Can anyone help me understand how the feldspathic veneers color can be fixed? So I can discuss this with my dentist?
I know some of you will say just let my dentist and ceramist handle this stuff but I can't. Too often dentist have lied to me and told me things are not possible and I need to trust them. Such as I needed a crown for my incisor, to needing an implant to mask out the color...to fixing more teeth because they cant color match to only e.max veneers will work on your teeth because you have an implant.
Thanks
