How Do I Choose the Right Shade of White for my Teeth?

This is such a personal preference.  Most teeth will only get "so white" anyway with just bleaching.  For those with stubbornly stained teeth, porcelain veneers can make your teeth whiter than you can achieve with bleaching.  In general, I've been seeing people move away from "super white" teeth to a more natural, yet still bright and beautiful color.  You can go light without them looking too fake as long as they are not too opaque, meaning that the color is flat looking and monochromatic (all one color).  Natural translucency and gradation of color from gum to tooth edge can make even the lightest teeth look natural and beautiful.

with the advent of teeth bleaching there is a new shade of white.   we recommend that all cosmetic cases undergo both laser bleaching and take home tray bleaching systems prior to final shade analysis.   we recommend that the patient meets with our master ceramist to determine final shade and characterization.  this will give you a better understand of color and what works with your skin tones ect.
