Understanding that all cases are different and have varying levels of complexity, we have tools and equipment to support us in getting more detailed and accurate. One of the most important tools is a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a macro lens, which should be basic equipment in every dental office and dental laboratory. To get to the next level, we can also utilize a shade acquisition technology called OptiShade. 

OptiShade is a dental device and software developed by Style Italiano. It is designed to assist dentists in accurately determining tooth shades for restorative procedures such as crown and bridge work, veneers, implants, and composite fillings. OptiShade utilizes advanced technology to streamline the shade-matching process, resulting in more precise and consistent color matching outcomes. At this current time, OptiShade is only compatible with Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad.

Here’s an overview of why a dentist should consider using OptiShade:

  1. Accuracy: OptiShade employs advanced algorithms to analyze various factors such as lighting conditions, tooth structure, and surrounding tissues to provide highly accurate shade matching results. This helps dentists achieve optimal aesthetic outcomes for their patients.
  2. Efficiency: By automating the shade-matching process, OptiShade saves time for both dentists and patients. Dentists can quickly determine the appropriate shade without the need for manual comparisons, reducing chair time and improving workflow efficiency.
  3. Consistency: OptiShade helps maintain consistency in shade matching across different procedures and patients. This ensures that restorations blend seamlessly with the natural dentition, enhancing overall smile aesthetics.
  4. Patient Satisfaction: Accurately matched restorations contribute to improved patient satisfaction. Patients are more likely to be pleased with the appearance of their dental restorations when shades are precisely matched, leading to greater confidence and trust in the dentist’s skills.

Overall, OptiShade offers dentists a reliable tool for achieving accurate, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing shade matching results, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.

In our experience, OptiShade is very good in comparison to many other shade taking devices available on the market. Important to say, to utilize the OptiShade to its fullest capacity, the dental office and the laboratory must have the device.
