Shade matching is a crucial step when creating natural looking restorations. To achieve the best shade possible, we recommend taking the shade prior to prepping the tooth, due to dehydration of the teeth. Also, when bleaching, the patient should wait a 7-10 days after completing the bleaching process to receive an accurate shade. We prefer to take custom shades by appointment at our facility. Please contact our Customer Service Team to schedule your patient’s custom shade.
Under the education tab you will find helpful tip sheets on shade matching and cosmetic case success tips.
Please Note: Custom shade appointments can be made by the office or by the patient.
