At Ginza ONE Dental & Orthodontics, we offer high-quality laminate veneer treatments using aesthetic ceramic materials. One of the most important steps in ensuring a beautiful and satisfying outcome is shade selection—the process of choosing the ideal color for your veneers.
While it may seem simple at first glance, selecting the right shade is actually a detailed and personalized process. The color of your veneers will significantly impact the overall impression of your smile and your face. That’s why we take the time to carefully guide each patient through this step.

🪞 What Factors Do We Consider in Shade Selection?
Every patient is unique, and so is their ideal smile. To achieve a natural and beautiful result, we take multiple factors into account during shade selection:
✔️ Overall Facial Balance
The color of your teeth should harmonize with your entire face—not just your other teeth. We look at your skin tone, lip color, eye color, and facial features to determine what kind of shade would best suit your appearance.
✔️ The Color and Translucency of Natural Teeth
Even if you are only getting veneers on a few teeth, the new color must blend well with your remaining natural teeth. We evaluate the base color, degree of translucency, and surface texture of your original teeth to ensure consistency and harmony.
✔️ Your Desired Whiteness
Some patients want a super-bright Hollywood smile, while others prefer a more subdued, natural tone. Through in-depth consultation, we listen to your preferences and expectations to find a shade that feels just right for you.
✔️ Your Lifestyle and Makeup Habits
Your personal style plays an important role too. For example, people who wear bold makeup may benefit from slightly brighter teeth to avoid their smile being overshadowed. On the other hand, those who prefer natural tones may opt for a more subtle shade. We tailor our suggestions accordingly.

📸 Tools and Techniques for Precision
To make sure the final result matches your vision, we use a combination of tools and techniques:
Professional Shade Guides: These are specialized tools with a wide range of shades to choose from, allowing us to compare various options under natural and artificial lighting.
Digital Photography & Simulation: We take high-resolution photos and use simulation software to show how different shades will look in your mouth, giving you a clear image before the veneers are made.
Close Collaboration with Ceramic Technicians: We work directly with experienced dental lab technicians who can reproduce fine nuances, such as slight color gradation, gloss levels, and surface texture. Their craftsmanship plays a vital role in achieving natural-looking veneers.

✨ Our Commitment: Natural, Beautiful, and Personalized
What sets Ginza ONE Dental & Orthodontics apart is our attention to detail and personalized approach. We don’t just choose a color—we design a smile that fits you. Each veneer is handcrafted with care to create:
