How to Select Natural-Looking Veneers

Dentist Matching Veneer Shade to Patient's Teeth

Dental veneers are a transformative cosmetic dental procedure that can address several smile concerns at once. If you’re looking for a dramatic smile enhancement, then porcelain veneers may be just what you need.

We’ve all seen people with obvious veneers, but that means they did not select theirs correctly. When done right, you can’t tell someone has veneers because of how natural they look.

How can you ensure your veneers are natural-looking?

Here’s a full guide from our experienced dental team.

Complement Your Facial Features

First, consider the shape of the veneers. Choose veneers that suit your natural face shape, bringing out the best in it.

For example:

  • Choose longer veneers with a rounded shape if you have an oval face, as these offer symmetry with your face shape.
  • If you have a round face, choose angular veneers to balance your shape.
  • Those with square faces benefit most from oval or round veneers that soften the face.

For a long face, short, wide veneers offer the ideal balance.

Bright White Is Not Always the Best!

Yes, veneers can help whiten your whole smile. However, that doesn’t mean that the brightest shade is the best option! Instead, choose a veneer color that improves your smile and suits your skin tone.

Those with darker skin do not need as white of a veneer shade to get a stunning smile. Additionally, consider how many veneers you will get and your natural tooth color. Veneers that are too drastically different from your natural tooth color will look out of place.

A helpful rule is to choose veneers that are about the color of the whites of your eyes.
