The color of a dental crown is selected using a combination of professional shade assessment, digital photography, visual comparison, and communication with the dental laboratory.
The dentist considers more than simply choosing a single shade from a shade guide. Natural teeth contain variations in color, translucency, brightness, and surface characteristics, so these details need to be considered when designing a highly aesthetic crown.
The shade selection may take into account:
- Color of adjacent teeth.
- Natural tooth translucency.
- Cervical and incisal color variations.
- Surface texture.
- Gum color and contour.
- Lighting conditions.
- The patient's overall smile.
For front teeth, photographs and detailed communication with the dental laboratory can help reproduce subtle characteristics of the natural teeth.
At Dr. Bharat Katarmal Dental & Implant Clinic, Jamnagar, crown planning includes careful shade selection and digital workflows, helping the laboratory create a restoration that blends naturally with the surrounding teeth.
We use DSLR camera with Macro lens for close up dental photography.
For patients undergoing extensive cosmetic treatment, the color and shape of multiple teeth can also be planned together to achieve a harmonious overall smile.
