A hot topic among consumers for some time has concerned tooth color. Whitening toothpastes and at-home tooth whitening kits line drugstore shelves. Dental laboratories and offices are busy building tooth restorations and implant surgery is leading the way towards creating a perfect smile for anyone. With the amount of time and money people are willing to put toward obtaining a perfect smile, they are also expecting superior results. In order to create a natural look, color matching enamel with a patient’s natural tooth color becomes both an art and a science. Spectrophotometers are a necessity for tooth color analysis and creating that perfect match from laboratory to patient.
