Annette’s story

Annette had reached the point where her own teeth were no longer worth saving. Several were missing, others were broken down or discoloured, and the gaps showed clearly whenever she smiled.

Her before photos show a smile that had gone one tooth at a time: a gap at one side, broken front teeth, staining and uneven edges, so she smiled with her head slightly down. All-on-6 replaced the whole upper set in one go. In her after photo she is looking straight at the camera with a full, even smile and nothing to hide.

Rather than patching what was left, she went ahead with All-on-6, where a full arch of fixed teeth is held on six implants.

Her new teeth are in a natural design, shade BL3, so the result looks like a healthy set of teeth rather than a perfect white block, and she has a full, even smile again.

The design choices

Why Annette chose shade BL3 and a natural design

Every UK Smiles patient picks her own shade and design with the dentist before anything is made. Here is what Annette’s choices mean and why they suited her.

Shade

BL3 Bright, warm

  1. BL1
  2. BL2
  3. BL3
  4. B1
  5. A1
  6. A2

WhitestMore natural →

The six most popular shades are shown here. The full chart runs to more than 20, so there is a match for every complexion.

The softest of the bleach shades. Clearly whiter than most natural teeth, but with a warmth that sits comfortably against darker hair, tanned skin and everyday daylight.

Why it suited Annette: BL3 is clearly brighter than her old teeth while keeping a soft warmth, so a full new set looks fresh without looking stark.

Design

Natural

  • Chosen

    Natural

    Like your own teeth, on their best day

    Centrals a touch longer than the laterals, softly rounded corners, canines with a gentle point and a smile line that curves with your lip. Small differences between teeth are kept on purpose: that is what reads as real.

  • Soft

    Rounded, gentle, friendly

    Fuller, more oval teeth with rounded edges all the way along and no sharp corners anywhere. The smile line curves gently and the canines are softened rather than pointed. Warm rather than striking.

  • Hollywood

    Square, straight, bold

    Squarer teeth with straight edges, all the same length, sitting in a flat, even line. Corners are crisp and the canines are squared off to match. Symmetrical and unmistakably done, for people who want the change to show.

Each tooth is shaped with the small variations real teeth have: slightly rounded corners, a soft curve along the smile line and a little translucency at the biting edges. The result looks like a great version of your own teeth rather than a row of identical white blocks.

Why it suited Annette: With every tooth new, small variations are what make it believable. The natural design gives each tooth its own shape and softer edges.
