Is your confidence taking a dive because of uneven or chipped teeth? Maybe it’s time to consider cosmetic teeth veneers. These thin, custom-made shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, providing the perfect smile. A popular option for addressing dental imperfections, and often with a quicker process than other alternatives.
However, unnatural-looking veneers have been a hot topic—particularly when they look artificial in the wrong shade. So, how do you choose the right one? Keep reading our veneer shade guide to find the sweet spot of having a beautiful, radiant smile that also looks natural.
Veneers come in various colours, from natural ivory tones to lighter, whiter options. A veneer shade chart helps map out different tones.
There are your typical fresh whites for a radiant look and warmer natural tones that blend better with darker enamel. Take the time with your dentist to understand the appearance you’re going for and what’s best for your overall look.
You might think the brighter, the better, and while it’s tempting to go for veneers with a light shade, we recommend a natural colour. This lessens the contrast between your veneers and remaining natural teeth. It’s especially important if you’re only getting a few cosmetic teeth veneers since choosing a shade too bright could create an uneven look. However, if you prefer a lighter shade, you can whiten your natural teeth so the contrast isn’t too stark. After all, it’s all about finding the perfect balance.
When you’re choosing from the veneer shade chart, look at the big picture—consider your other facial features.
From the whites of our eyes and eye colour to our skin undertones and hair colour, a shade that complements the whole face is ideal. The idea is to find a shade that brings all your features together. Lighter shades can brighten a face, while warmer shades can add depth and realism.
There’s no need to rush when picking your veneer shade. Your dentist is there to help with recommendations for the most natural-looking outcome. Talk to them about your concerns, goals, and lifestyle habits.
Let your dentist know if you regularly consume foods and drinks that can stain, such as coffee, tea, or red wine. They’ll guide you in choosing a shade that won’t look unnaturally white against any minor staining on your natural teeth.
Getting veneers can be a major confidence boost. Achieve a smile that feels fresh, natural, and uniquely yours with our veneer shade guide.
