Custom Shade Service
We understand that selecting the perfect shade can be challenging. With the right materials and detailed shade records, we can make crowns disappear into natural dentition. Our in-house team of experts support dentists and staff in developing skills to record and communicate shade information. We recommend both the Vita 3D shade guide and the Vita Classic Shade guide.

Anterior shade matching can challenge even the most skilled clinicians. At our laboratory, an expert ceramist will record the shade, characterizations, and take digital photos. With detailed shade information, we create life-like restorations that blend into the smile. Patient satisfaction is always our top priority. We use the classic Vita shade guide, the Vita 3D Shade Guide, and match to our in-house ceramic kits.
Our team of ceramists are available Monday through Thursday for custom shade appointments. Call to schedule an appointment and prescribe your next anterior case with confidence.
