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.
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.
Within each letter group, the first shades are the lightest, progressing to the darker shades as the number increases. For example, A1 is lighter than A2 and B1 is lighter than B2.
Tip: If you go too white, then your new smile will look unnatural and not as aesthetically pleasing. Here are some tips when choosing the white shade for your veneers: Use the whites of your eyes for guidance. Your veneers should never be whiter than the whites of your eyes.
Natural White.
In my opinion, natural white is appropriate for 9 out of 10 people. We can place six to 10 veneers on the top teeth, depending on the patient's desired outcome and the width of their smile, and then match the veneers' color to the bottom teeth.
B1 used to be the whitest shade you could whiten your teeth but now there are new spectrums of white you can see celebrities wearing. The key to achieving the best shade of white for your smile is by discussing it with our cosmetic dentists. If you end up whitening your teeth too white.
The B1 shade is commonly thought to be the whitest shade, but this is not the case. The B1 shade used to be the whitest shade for natural teeth. Now, with the introduction of bleaching products, the once natural shade has become much lighter. There are now colors even lighter than the lightest B1 shade.
A B2 is a relatively natural tooth shade and not considered to be too 'Hollywood' white. I think what is equally as important as the shade chosen is how natural the tooth shape and surface contour us and how much natural diversity and translucency is added.
Porcelain Veneers
Due to the high biocompatibility of porcelain veneers, the soft tissues around the gum line and in the mouth as a whole are rarely harmed by them. Due to porcelain's high degree of naturalness, these veneers can greatly enhance the appearance of your smile.
B1 is a common shade of baby teeth but not very common in adult teeth. While keeping in mind that the photographs of these shade guides may have been taken under different lighting conditions, it is still apparent that the BL4 is noticeably whiter than the B1.
A2. This is a natural, light ivory shade. It is quite a lot less bright than A1 and its more natural looking. About 70% of the population naturally have teeth which are A3, so A2 tends to suit people wanting to brighten by only 1 degree of shade.
The whites of your eyes: A good rule of thumb is to avoid choosing a shade that is whiter than the white part of your eyes. These are not hard and fast rules, of course. But, they're good guidelines to help you start finding the right shade of white.
A1 A whiter shade than your average smile, this is the most naturally white a tooth can be. A2 Light ivory is a common colour for teeth that have not undergone any whitening treatment. A3 Medium ivory is slightly darker than A2 to maintain a natural tone.
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.
Yellow Teeth
This is the most common color of teeth. 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.
A1 - A4 (reddish-brownish) B1 - B4 (reddish-yellowish) C1 - C4 (greyish shades) D2 - D4 (reddish-grey)
With veneers, Kylie looks more like her sisters than ever.
They all use the same Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist — Dr. Kevin Sands, DDS. That's right, he has worked on all three Kardashian and both Jenner sisters. Kylie got her full set of porcelain veneers when she was about 18.
Your porcelain veneers can make your teeth look thick and bulky if you have average-sized or large teeth and your dentist doesn't prepare them first. Even ultrathin veneers—as thin as 0.3 mm—add thickness to your teeth and slightly extend their length.
Incorrectly shaped: Teeth are like fingerprints — everyone's set of teeth is unique to them. So if the shape of porcelain veneers don't match a patient's natural tooth shape, the result is fake-looking veneers. The same goes for veneers that don't share the same proportions as a patient's natural teeth.
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. BL4, by comparison, is a little more natural looking while still delivering a dazzling smile.
The enamel itself is a blueish white colour, but it is also somewhat translucent so the yellow of the dentine beneath it shows through to make the overall colour of the teeth either light grey or light yellow.
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.
However, if your veneers are decades old, it's possible they were made with a material that is porous and more susceptible to staining. If your veneers are no longer the same colour as your natural teeth, or have become stained, it's likely you will need to replace them.
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.
