Materials · R&H Marbella
Translucency describes how light passes into and through a material, helping a veneer avoid looking uniformly opaque. The right amount is not a fixed recipe because underlying tooth colour, thickness, shade and neighbouring teeth all affect the result.
You can arrive with a question rather than a treatment choice. Bring examples showing the level of brightness and character you prefer.
The short answer
Current research addresses ceramic materials but not a specific translucency formula or guaranteed natural appearance. Ask R&H to explain the relevant findings, treatment stages, limitations and alternatives for your own plan. Start with this: Bring examples showing the level of brightness and character you prefer.
For “Why Translucency Matters in Natural-looking Veneers”, ask how underlying tooth colour and ceramic thickness influence translucency. Compare alternatives, limitations, maintenance and no immediate treatment before deciding.
