Dental Color Matcher
On January 20, 2025, I completed the online Dental Color Matcher course offered by the Society for Color and Appearance in Dentistry. During this course, I tested my visual perception and tooth shade-matching ability, and read a lecture on different themes and techniques utilized by dentists to appropriately match the correct shade for their patients. This skill is something I will be using all the time as a general dentist, for example when I choose shades for crowns, veneers, or implants. Matching a patient’s teeth with the correct shade is not always easy, but this course was very helpful to me as I continue to get used to doing it.
