If you’ve been catching up on the latest season of Love Island (no shame – so have we!), you may have noticed that every member of the cast is sporting a bright white smile.
Most of these people have achieved this look with the help of dental veneers. These thin porcelain or composite shells fit over your natural teeth and can completely transform their shape and colour.
If you like the Love Island look, you can easily get it with veneers of your own. However, that might not be as desirable a goal as you think. Keep reading to learn why.
Finding the Right White
While some of the cast’s veneers enhance their smiles without becoming distracting, this isn’t the case for everyone on the show. Case in point: Zak Srakaew.
Zak’s teeth are extremely white and uniform – almost uncannily so. While that look aligns with conventional smile aesthetics on paper, it looks out of place in the real world.
Very few people have teeth that are naturally pure white. Most have undertones of red, yellow, brown, and even grey in their smiles. People with darker skin tones often have warmer undertones in their teeth than those with fairer skin.
Veneers that don’t match your natural tooth color will look out of place and distract from the beauty of your smile. That’s why most cosmetic dentists advise choosing a shade of white that aligns with the shade of your natural teeth.
How Your Dentist Can Help
Not everyone wants their veneers to look realistic, and that’s okay. If that’s the look that makes you feel happy and confident, go for it! Your dentist will be happy to give you the bright white veneers you’ve got your heart set on.
If you’re looking for a more low-profile result, though, a skilled dentist can do that too. They’ll examine your natural tooth color and help you choose a shade that, while significantly whiter, doesn’t stray too far from what you started with. You’ll look great, and no one will be able to tell that your smile is anything less than all-natural.
