Perfect-looking veneers can look fake. Natural results come from colour gradation, soft edges and shapes that suit the face.
Sometimes "perfect" veneers look fake. Every tooth the same flat white, every edge in one straight line: the smile reads as artificial straight away, even from across a room.
Copy nature, not perfection
Real teeth are not one colour. They are a little warmer near the gum and more translucent towards the biting edge. A natural veneer needs some of that colour gradation.
Real smiles are not perfectly straight either. A slight break in the line of the edges, small differences between neighbouring teeth: these details are what make a smile look like yours.
Why "chiclet" veneers never look real
Veneers that look like chewing gum pieces, too square, too white and too uniform, never look real. Nothing in nature is perfectly symmetrical, and the smiles that look best are the ones that follow that.
How a natural result is planned
- Shade chosen to suit your skin and the whites of your eyes, not the brightest white available.
- Shapes designed around your face, lips and the smile you already have.
- Translucency at the edges, so light passes through the way it does with enamel.
- A Digital Smile Design first, so you see the result on your own face before treatment.
