Its such a pleasure to improve the smile to match such a gorgeous woman. The teeth were bleached, two new crowns and two veneers were placed. The teeth were lengthened and given a completely different shape. The upper were placed in the ideal position overlapping the lower teeth. The gaps at the gum-line were closed Thank-you for giving me the opportunity to complete your case. Doug |

Hello..I was wondering what shade the crowns were on this patient (B1 or higher maybe?)I am getting 10 new crowns for my upper. My dentist suggested A1 color shade for the crowns, but I want white teeth. I do want my bottom teeth bleached afterwards…
Hi,
The veneers are much whiter than A1. This patient’s veneers were bleach shade 030. Getting that many crowns make sure its a color YOU want.
If your dentist has some bleach shade guides you can see the difference. Hold the shade guide under your lip, and look in a mirror. Hold several at time to see just how much difference there is. I have not done a large case with A1 in probably ten years or so. Nobody is picking shades that dark.
