Veneers reassurance?

Hi,





I had 5 veneers done on my upper front teeth a couple of months ago. I make extra sure I keep them in tip top condition, even if one of them has now misaligned and am going back to see my dentist on Friday, anyway that's a different issue!





I have a question in regards to colour. I use Supersmile to keep them looking as good as possible but am paranoid sometimes they aren't bright enough as they used to be and have doubts they are good quality?





In certain light they look yellow and dark, or is this me being paranoid? I can take a photo with my digital camera in the same light and they look ok and white? is the camera deceiving tho? In natural light in the daytime they look white and in the dark like in a club they are bright. Is this the way veneers should be with different types of light?





Should I have gone to a diff dentist for more expensive veneers?is this why the cost varies so much? They cost between £200 and £800 here in the UK, i paid £200 per veneer

Veneers reassurance?
I don't know prices in UK but as with almost anything in life, you get what you pay for. If you searched out for the cheapest ones, well that person has a lower price for one of two reasons, or both reasons. #1 they are not confident/good at doing veneers. #2 they are using a cheap lab, cheap lab=less talented lab tech, and/or using cheap materials.
Reply:The difference is not the dentist but on the matrial used. You should have opted for a more stable material such as porcelain. Resins, especially self curing ones get easily discolored.





Unlike them, porcelain has 3 layers of base, opaquer, and metal to equalize any change in color.





Hope this helps.
