What Dentists Have to Say

“I have been a dentist for 24 years and have done many anterior crowns. The most frustrating part of doing a single anterior crown is matching the shade correctly. In the past, the only tool I had was my eyeball and a shade guide to determine the shade and communicate that to my lab, Aurum in Calgary. In 2020 I started using the ShadeWave product for crown matching to communicate shades to my lab. ShadeWave has dramatically improved my ability to match shades in the smile zone. While I still need to send a few crowns back for custom staining, my success with ShadeWave is around 90% the first time, even on a single central! ShadeWave has been an exceptional product and I highly recommend it.”

Dr. Chad ThompsonCorpus Christi, Texas

“ShadeWave Mobile blew me away when I saw the quality of picture that we were getting with the patient, right there in the operatory. I could see all of the distinctions, the shade zones, and how they transitioned and the intensity – and then to just push a button and have all that great information sent right to my lab – it is mind boggling how user-friendly this is!”
