Anterior eMax BL2 MT case stained with GC Lustre Paste

I inherited this case and I know the patient was frustrated with the lack of communication, and this lead to him switching to me. I was a little worried that he wasn't going to be a good patient by some of his initial comments but I made it clear with pictures, waxups and just general discussion of what we could achieve. He was interested in CEREC and so paranoid about these looking big and bulky like his prior bridge, that he wanted to see my proposals before I milled them...

Tough case nonetheless.  He was a bit brighter than B1 so I went with a BL2 MT block...geez...they are bright! 

Tried it in and it didn't look too bad but definitely needed to be toned down.  So I used L-A and L-3.  The A stain to give a little more gingival color and the L-3 to lower the value of the crowns.  As many discuss, there is a bit of a learning curve for Lustre Paste, but I do love it.  The abutment block is a MO2 block...used an S-block for Biomet 3.4 implant
