How to Pick the Ideal Veneer Color: Are You Hollywood or Natural?

Are you envisioning a smile that shines as bright as the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
or one that radiates natural beauty effortlessly? Choosing the ideal veneer shade is paramount
in achieving the look you’ve been dreaming of, and at Austin Cosmetic, we’re dedicated to being
your trusted guides throughout the process! Here are four essential factors we carefully
consider to give you,
“YOUR SMILES JUST BETTER”
NATURAL VS. HOLLYWOOD
When it comes to veneer shades, they generally fall into two main categories: Natural and
Hollywood. Natural shades, like BL2 or BL3, offer a subtle, understated appearance, seamlessly
blending with your natural teeth for a harmonious look. On the other hand, Hollywood shades,
exemplified by BL1, create a smile that commands attention. However, it’s essential to consider
not only the shade but also the type of preparation you’ll undergo and whether translucency will
be achievable. In cases of minimal preparation, it’s crucial to note that there may be some
show-through depending on the shade of the original tooth, emphasizing the
importance of thorough consideration before making a decision.
DEFINE YOUR STYLE
Take a moment and envision your ideal smile. Do you gravitate towards natural hues, or do you
find yourself dreaming of that head-turning Hollywood inspired smile? It’s important to lean into
your style inclinations as they will serve as a compass in making the best choice for you. Often,
we recommend you save smiles or before-and-after images that resonate with you. This aids us
in understanding your style
preferences even better.

Initially, these temporaries will be a B1-BL1.5 shade, albeit susceptible to staining due to their
composite material. Upon placement of the temporary veneers, you will have the opportunity to
visualize firsthand how the color enhances your facial aesthetic, complements your skin tone,
and contrasts with your lower teeth. Following this observation period, you will be allotted 1
week to make your final color selection, ensuring ample time for consideration and
