Tooth shade is not simply A1, A2 or A3

Anyone who has ever seen a shade guide at the dentist might think that tooth shade can simply be determined with a letter and a number.

In reality, it is considerably more complex.

Colour, brightness, translucency

Natural teeth have different colour and brightness zones. Added to this are translucency, surface structure and the way light is reflected or transmitted.

The surroundings also play a role. Light source, lip colour and neighbouring teeth can influence our perception.

Especially with individual anterior crowns, a differentiated shade analysis is therefore decisive.

Personal shade taking in the atelier

In demanding cases, direct coordination with the dental technician offers additional possibilities. Photographic documentation and personal shade taking help to capture details that can hardly be described on a simple order form.

BLANC ET NOBLE therefore offers patients the opportunity for a personal consultation in the atelier.

The right tooth shade is rarely simply “white”. It is an interplay of many nuances. And it is precisely these nuances that create naturalness.
