Color choice with dental crowns (Photo)

Hi, I think that if you choose B1 it will be too bright in relation to your lower teeth. Hard to tell from the photos but you appear to have some grayish on the lower teeth. The C range may be better. It is hard to tell with temporaries as they are not made of porcelain and so you have a hard time comparing. Usually the porcelain crowns are much better. Word of caution don't cement real crowns until you are very sure that you like the color. I would suggest you bring a friend that will be honest with you and can give an unbiased opinion. Good luck.

Hi:Due to the grayness of the bottom teeth there will definitely be a crash in color between the upper and lower teeth if you pick B1 shade.  On the other hand if you pick C1 shade it matches the bottom teeth, however it may not be esthectially pleasing.  Since your smile depends on your upper teeth, my recommendation is to go with your ideal shade on the upper teeth.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hello,The best way would be to do in office power teeth whitening first to see how white your natural teeth will whiten, and then match the crowns based on that. You can maintain your result by take home teeth whitening trays that your dentist can fabricate for you.Hope this helps,Dr. Mazaheri
