Does 0.1 mm produce the shade I want for everyone?

Short answerNo.

  • 0.
  • 1 mm is the minimum design thickness, not a thickness applied to every tooth.
  • Thin ceramic lets the underlying tooth colour show through, so if your natural teeth are very dark or far from the target shade, a thicker design or another approach may be considered.
  • Teeth darkened after root canal treatment or with heavy staining need a separate assessment.
  • Confirm the final shade at the clinic using a shade guide and a try-in.
