In an interview with Public News Service, dentist-orthopedist Vyacheslav Pozdnyakov cautioned against opting for an excessively white shade when restoring teeth. He explained that such a shade often looks artificial and can resemble the whiteness of ceramic fixtures more than natural enamel. The takeaway for patients in North America is clear: the goal is to mimic the subtle nuances of real teeth, not to achieve bleach-bright perfection that betrays itself under close inspection. Pozdnyakov emphasized that the final result should harmonize with the patient’s overall facial appearance and lighting conditions, ensuring a natural, balanced smile rather than a striking, clinical whiteness.
