Castle Ceramics Dental Laboratory - Shade Matching
What is a Dental; Laboratory?
This is where the production of your restoration(s) take place, once your dentist has prepared your teeth and taken an impression, the case is sent to us for construction. It is often possible to change the shape, colour and alignement of teeth, so if you have any particular requests please let us know, and we can take them into account.
 
 
Why has your dentist asked you to visit Castle Ceramics Dental Lab?
When manufacturing the restoration it is often necessary to use a variety of colours to achieve a match that is personal to you. Within the system we use there are around 50 colours that can be mixed or layered in any combination, it is therefore prudent for me to see exactly where to place and in what proportions to mix these colours. If you have alreadyseen your dentist and the teeth have been prepared it is advisable to make an appointment with us as soon as possible to avoid any delay with the construction.
 
 
What does the procedure entail?
The procedure is non invasive and therefore totally painless.
We will be looking at your teeth in relation to 26 preset "common" colours. I can then mix any of these colours in any combination to achieve the desired result. We will also take some digital photographs for reference when making your new teeth.
 
 
How long will it take?
Usually 15 minutes is enough time, although if the shade/colour is particularly complex it may take longer.
We generally do not allocate a time to your visit, so please do not feel rushed, we can spend as long as you like discussing your case in as much detail as you wish.
