Overview
Esthetics is an important factor that dictates the success of a restoration. An esthetic restoration blends in the patient's mouth. Optimal shade selection is one of the key factors for developing an esthetic restoration. However, due to the wide variety of natural tooth colors, achieving an intimate shade match between the restoration and the natural tooth/teeth may be difficult. Many patients are dissatisfied with their restorations due to improper shade selection, and therefore, every restorative dentist should be acquainted with the shade selection process to achieve the best outcomes
