I have had teeth implants and I currently have fixed temporaries which I am not keen on although lots of poeople say they look nice. I am going to get my permanent ones soon and don't know what to pick for a natural look that look ok for my age, I am 59, quite dark skinned. Any help would be be great thanks!

Your implantologist should be guiding you on this and changing or adapting the tempories until they're just right, in the right colour, in your mouth and then transferring that info to the lab to copy so there's no surprises. Sometimes it needs to be a longer period in tempories until this is just right with lots of minor adjustment. You can't just pick off a menu, your face shape and size influence what will look right.
In terms of colour, A+B shades are more usual, C+D shades much more unusual due to the undertones. I don't like a shade guide set up that way, ask if they can set it up by value as that's a lot easier to assess.
Thinking carefully about what you do/don't like about current temps will be very helpful eg to much/not enough tooth on show, to round/to angular. Do you want to look as you did before, like you've got naturally good teeth or full on Hollywood?
You need expert guidance on this.

Sorry that my answer was just a literal choice - didn’t mean to be careless, sorry

Why dont you like the temporaries? Is it the colour you dont like or the size/shape?

AllTheSunshine · 14/08/2022 15:26

Try not to go much whiter than the whites of your eyes if you want a natural look.

Bit of both Really, they are too white and the bottom set look really false, thanks for the reply

Are all those teeth different ? As in shades or sizes. ?

Dontknownow86 · 14/08/2022 18:52

Is it a full set or do you have some of your own teeth mixed with them? If mixed they should be matching with your own as otherwise it will look odd.

For reference most people are A3 in shade so if it's a full set I would personally go for A2 or B2. If you want them whiter though go for the A1 over the B1 as B1 is way too bright and they look weird in my opinion.

@Dontknownow86 thanks for your help, it’s a full set. I will look at a2 and b2
