Although veneers are a popular and effective way to enhance your smile, sometimes the final result can leave you feeling less than satisfied – most often as the result of poor dentistry. When the veneers don’t match the surrounding teeth or the results appear uneven, it’s not uncommon for patients to face problems with colour mismatch or inconsistency in shape after the procedure.
If you’re unhappy with the look of your veneers, don’t worry – there are solutions. In this blog, we’ll explore some common causes of mismatched colour veneers and uneven results and how you can fix them to achieve the smile you deserve.
Causes of Veneers Colour Mismatch and Uneven Results
There could be several reasons why your veneers don’t match your natural teeth or result in an uneven appearance:
1. Incorrect shade selection
One of the most common causes of colour mismatch veneers is selecting the wrong shade. The veneer shade may not blend well with your natural teeth, causing them to look too bright, too dark, or simply out of place.
2. Material differences:
Different veneer materials, like porcelain or composite veneers in Essex, can react differently to light and wear. If the wrong material is chosen or mismatched to your natural teeth, this can cause noticeable differences in colour and texture.
3. Poor placement or shape
Veneers that are placed poorly or are uneven in shape can cause an unbalanced look, making them appear out of place or awkward in your smile.
4. Natural tooth shade:
Your natural tooth colour may also affect the final result. If your teeth have underlying discolouration, it can sometimes cause the veneers to look either too light or too dark in comparison.
How to Fix Veneers Colour Mismatch and Uneven Results
If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your veneers, our experienced team of Essex dentists offer several solutions to correct veneers colour mismatch and uneven results:
Replace or reapply the veneers:
One option is to entirely replace the veneers. If the veneers don’t match your natural teeth, our skilled dentists can provide new veneers that better match your smile and blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Adjust the veneer colour:
If only minor adjustments are needed, we can use a technique to adjust the colour of the veneers. This can be done by whitening the natural teeth underneath to match the veneer or by adjusting the shade of the veneers itself to achieve better harmony with your smile.
Shaping and repositioning:
Sometimes, the issue lies with the shape or placement of the veneers. Our dentists will carefully reshape or reposition the veneers to ensure a more even and natural-looking smile, correcting any asymmetry.
Professional advice and customisation:
The best way to avoid colour mismatch veneers is to work closely with an experienced dental professional who takes the time to carefully assess your smile, choose the appropriate material, and ensure precise colour matching.
