Scott’s story

Scott’s teeth had become worn, uneven and discoloured, with short, crowded edges that made his smile look tired.

You can see it in his first photo. He is smiling, but with his lips mostly closed and his chin tucked, the way people do once they have got used to keeping their teeth out of the picture. In the second photo there is no holding back at all.

His plan combined implants with a full set of zirconia crowns, so every tooth could be rebuilt to a proper length and lined up evenly.

A natural design in BL3 keeps it believable: a brighter, wider and more even smile that still looks like his own teeth.

The design choices

Why Scott 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 Scott’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 Scott: BL3 is clearly brighter than his old teeth while keeping a little warmth, so the new smile 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 Scott: The natural design keeps slight differences between teeth and softer edges, so a full rebuild still reads as real teeth.
