My patient has a porcelain crown on her upper left central tooth. It was done several years back at other clinic and the colour of the crown is slightly lighter than the rest of her teeth. It bothered her for so long and finally she’s here on my dental chair seeking for treatment to address her problem.
Upon consultation and discussion, since she favoured the lighter shade of the crown, she opted to do composite veneers on her other teeth to match with the colour of the porcelain crown.
