What is the advantage of the "chameleon-like" optical properties of the Enamel shades?
The chameleon-like properties allow the composite to blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural tooth structure, making the restoration virtually invisible. It mimics how natural enamel transmits and diffuses light.
Can the Gingiva shades be mixed?
Yes, the Gingiva shades are designed to be layered and blended (coalesced) to achieve a customized match to the patient’s specific gingival tissue color.
What is the benefit of using BEAUTIFIL II Enamel over ceramic veneers?
