The three most common veneer shades our clients choose are High Translucency BL3, BL2, AND BL1 (also known as 'Hollywood white').
The most popular dental veneer colors are medium-to-light shades, close to natural tooth colors and look the most natural.
1) Porcelain Veneers
Offering “the best” treatment and being one of the most popular veneer materials, porcelain has been a very common choice of dental patients for years. These ceramic veneers resist stains, are naturally tooth-colored, and last for a long time.
Porcelain veneers are the best option because of their superior look, durability, and longevity.
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.
B1 on the classic shade guide is standard for baby teeth, not adult teeth. B1 – If you want your teeth to look natural, choosing veneers beyond B1 on the natural shade guide might make people notice you had work done on your teeth to make them so white.
If you're planning to get your teeth whitened professionally and are trying to choose a teeth-whitening shade, B1 and A1 are both excellent choices. They represent the whitest tooth shades that occur in nature—so they look natural—while giving you a radiant, healthy-looking smile.
Most well-known stars will opt for porcelain veneers because they last the longest and they look the most realistic.
Veneers can be too white, making them look unnatural. Your cosmetic dentist will guide you toward the most flattering and appropriate color for you. Just some of the factors that play into veneer color choice are the whites of your eyes, your skin tone, and even your age and gender.
The 4-8-10 rule means that in most veneer cases the most appropriate treatment plan is either treating teeth 7 to 10 or treating the anterior 8 to 10 teeth.
Veneers are now a known treatment that can help people achieve the “picture-perfect” smile. Unfortunately, a harmful trend has been attached to them. The “veneers check” is a TikTok challenge where people are showing off their shaved-down teeth in preparation for receiving veneers.
You might wonder what the whitest shade of teeth is? One of the whitest shade is known as b1. If you're looking for a more natural shade of white we suggest you compare a1 to b1 tooth color. A1 resembles a darker shade of white than b1.
Your veneers should never be whiter than the whites of your eyes. Fairer skin tones should pick from the whitest colors available. Since fairer skin doesn't contrast with the color of the teeth very much, a lighter shade is necessary to make your teeth appear white.
Between the two natural shades, the B1 tooth shade is the whitest. A1 has a darker shade of white than B1. However, it is important to know that B1 is not currently the whitest shade in this world. Because of the introduction of bleaching products, white shades are now even lighter than the lightest B1 shade.
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.
Why Your Veneers Look Too Bulky. If you have veneers that look too big for your mouth, the problem is usually what are called no-prep or minimal prep veneers. These veneers are designed to bond directly to your natural teeth, without the removal of any natural tooth enamel.
You can ask your dentist for a refund. If you want your dentist to replace your veneers, insist on a third set of porcelain veneers in the color of your choice. Remind your dentist that you want clear, tint-free bonding resin that will not alter the shade of your veneers.
Veneers do not stain as easily as the natural enamel found on your teeth; however, they can still become yellow or discolored over time. Surface stains can develop after prolonged exposure to highly pigmented drinks such as red wine and dark coffee.
