The shade of your porcelain veneers should be chosen based on your existing tooth colour and smile goals. However, your choice will also be informed by your cosmetic dentist, who has experience selecting veneers based on their patients.
Factors to Consider for The Perfect Smile
- Natural Teeth: It is always good to refer to your natural teeth when selecting your veneer colour. This is especially important if you want a natural finish or are only getting a few veneers that need to blend in with your existing teeth.
- Skin Tone: If you really want a harmonious smile, it is important to consider your skin tone as well. If you have a warmer skin tone, then ivory or light off-white shades may look best. If you have a cooler skin tone, then you may be well-suited to a brighter white.
- Personal Preference: At the end of the day, your veneers are meant to make you feel more confident in your smile, which is why you have the final say in what shade your veneers are. If whitening your teeth is the main goal, then may go a few shades brighter than your natural teeth. However, if your goal is to keep your smile looking as natural as possible, try to match your existing tooth shade.
It is also crucial that you trust the recommendations made by your dentist. Dr. Lloyd Pedvis has years of experience in cosmetic dentistry and has helped numerous patients achieve the smile of their dreams. Contact Mackenzie Dental Centre today to book a consultation.
