This is a measurement technique consisting in quantitative measurement of transmission or reflection of light through the sample. At our clinics for years we have been successfully using Spectroshade devices that are advanced spectrophotometers to assess the colour of our patients’ teeth.
Spectrophotometry
How does it work?
Scanning of teeth with the use of Spectroshade device – preliminary assessment of colour by the dentist – sending images to the laboratory – selection of the proper tooth colour – prosthetic work in perfect colour
Benefits for the patient
Possibility of very precise selection of tooth colour regardless of lighting
Guarantee of the ideal colour in cosmetic dentistry (veneers, crowns, implant crowns, fillings)
Time saving (avoiding numerous appointments for colour correction)
