A light-yellow color indicates a strong healthy smile. The natural color of your dentin, the layer of tiny tubules that lies beneath your enamel and connects to the dental nerve in each tooth, is yellow.
White teeth have a very light shade of yellow and are the healthiest type of teeth. The colour of these teeth comes from a combination of genetics and the amount of time you spend brushing your teeth each day. Slightly yellow teeth have a mild yellow tinge that is barely noticeable.
A1 vs B1 Tooth Color
Logically, one might think that A1 is the whitest tooth shade because A is the first letter in the alphabet. However, the B1 tooth shade is actually the lightest, followed by A1. This is by virtue of its coloring (reddish yellow) as opposed to the coloring of A teeth (reddish brown).
Going from a B2 to A1 is 6 shades lighter on the color spectrum/shade guide.
Using a four-shade guide, most people have teeth that are A3 in color, meaning that they are somewhat reddish brown. This is considered the average, natural tooth shade.
Reader's Digest quoted Adriana Manso, a clinical professor in UBC's faculty of dentistry, for an article about how whitening agents weaken teeth. He said “bleaching products contain hydrogen peroxide that diffuses through the enamel.
Even though the choice is ultimately up to you, a good rule of thumb to follow is to make sure your teeth aren't any whiter than the whites of your eyes for the most natural appearance. Over-whitening your teeth is a very real possibility that comes with very real consequences.
The average shade for a tooth is A3, this is considered a normal colour and around 70% of the population have natural teeth which are within this range. A B1 shade is considerably lighter than A3 and is generally considered the lightest naturally occurring shade.
A2 - Light Ivory
This light ivory shade is the sort of shade you'd see on a happy, healthy, natural smile that hasn't undergone any cosmetic whitening, but that - honestly - doesn't need to. Perfect for: Anyone looking for clean, healthy and totally natural smile.
Answer: Color of Crowns
A1 used to be considered a very white shade but with all the bleaching shades now, there are even whiter shades yet. If you plan to whiten your teeth, the teeth may actually bleach whiter than an A1 and then your crowns might look yellow compared to the rest of your teeth.
Among the three shades that are part of the palette of the whitest tooth shades, the B1 tooth shade and A1 tooth shade are considered the two whitest shades. However, neither of those two shades are “too white” because they are considered natural white shades.
BL tooth shades measure teeth whiteness with bleaching. Ivoclar developed the system, and BL shades are whiter than the brightest shade of natural teeth. The shades are BL1, BL2, BL3, and BL4. BL1 is the most brilliant shade, and BL4 is slighter whiter than the whitest natural tooth shade.
Historically B1 was considered a very light shade until people started bleaching their teeth. Now most people prefer the brighter bleached shades for their veneers. Also you need to take into account the color of the surrounding frame, your lips gums and skin tone.
Make your teeth look whiter – Darker shades like royal/navy blue, purple, and even black can make the color of your teeth appear whiter. Even so, be aware that colors like dark green and brown can look like food. What about white braces – Although this may be a color you were thinking of, you may want to stray away.
Aging: As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets worn away exposing the yellow dentin. Your tooth dentin also grows as you age, which decreases the size of the pulp. The translucency of the tooth reduces, making it look darker.
The layer directly under the enamel is light yellow. Therefore, it is perfectly natural to have a light yellow color on your teeth, and it is not caused by poor oral health. However, there are some risks that may make your teeth stained or yellower in color and these could be signs of poor oral health.

Shades A1 and A2 are both in the yellow range of colors with A2 being a deeper amount of color than A1. Neither of them are "white" because teeth are not naturally white.
A1 - A4 (reddish-brownish) B1 - B4 (reddish-yellowish) C1 - C4 (greyish shades)
Most veneers designed to give you a Hollywood smile are either BL1 or BL4. These are the brightest shades available. BL1 is a stunning, super-white which is the most common kind of smile you're likely to find in Hollywood.
First, BL1/0M1 is the whitest color available for anyone to choose. Second, for light skin people with an extrovert personality who's getting more than 8 eight veneers, the color BL2/0M2 would be my first suggestion, followed by BL1. In case you want to be more natural, I would recommend going down to a BL3/0M3 color.
The order of shade selection is first selecting the value, chroma, and lastly hue. Color matching should be done in a systematic way that ensures accuracy, uniformity, predictable results which are absolutely important in esthetic dentistry.
This really depends on what you have to start with. Most people come to see our dental clinic with shade A3. You can normally expect to get to B1 – which means you get around eight shades lighter.
A B2 is a relatively natural tooth shade and not considered to be too 'Hollywood' white.
For celebrity-level whiteness, cosmetic dentists will usually use one of three different procedures: professional whitening treatments, veneers, or crowns.
Teeth that are not perfectly white can still be healthy. The teeth are considered unhealthy if their color is attributed to plaque buildup or staining. Having off-white teeth is often healthy. Myth #3: Braces contribute to yellowing of teeth.
