- HOW TO CHOOSE THE COLOR FOR YOUR VENEERS? BL2 & BL3…Or BL1???
Hi! Do you know how many shades of whites dentists have for you to choose from when it comes to veneers?. This situation may confuse you, and make you wonder which shade you need to pick for your veneers to look amazing? Most of us want a beautiful & perfect new smile. I'm here to help you because, in this video, I'll reveal some fantastic tips for you to consider when choosing the right white color for your veneers and achieve great results that match your face.
Welcome to my channel!. I'm Dr. Rodriguez General & Cosmetic Dentist in Cartagena, Colombia. And I am here with another video to help you get the beautiful smile you desire. During the process of getting veneers, crowns or full dentures, one of the most important steps is choosing the right white color that suits you best. Most people think this step is simple, "give me the whitest teeth possible doc" this is what I hear a lot. However, when it comes to choosing the color of your new teeth. I recommend you don't make a quick decision but also don't overthink it …keep it simple.
My suggestion is for you to invest a few minutes into this stage, and that's why I created this video to help you. How white you want your teeth to be?. Let's take a look at the color chart that we work with to select Veneers shade.
As you can see in this image, starting with the brightest color: Bleach1 (BL1 or 0M1), we move in ascending order until Bleach 3 (BL3 0r 0M3), that represent a more yellowish color. Notice that the difference between these colors is slight.
After BL3/0M3, the guide follows a specific order based on the brightness of the tooth. As the scale goes on; it indicates that the color of the tooth is darker and more yellow than the before tooth.
There are five essential factors you should consider when choosing veneers color: The first factor is the number of veneers involved,
Second your skin tone, Third the white area around the iris of your eyes (sclera), Fourth your personality and expectations, And finally the size of your veneers.
Let me show you how this work:
1- Number of veneers: If you're getting 8 to 10 veneers top & bottom, you can choose from a wide range of colors. Because we would work with the majority of the teeth, you show when smiling. A different scenario it's working with only 2 0r 4 veneers which limits your options, forcing us to choose a color similar to your natural teeth
2- Skin color: Let's say you will get ten veneers on the uppers, so the next factor to consider is your skin tone. In our practice, we never tell the patient which color they must choose. Instead, we let you select, and we give our opinion, and why's. You're free to choose from any color you desire. However, we have found that BL2/0M2 tends to be one of the most popular and accurate options for lighter skin patients. In dark skin patients, our recommendation is considering a color like BL3 or BL4 if your goal is to look a white but natural smile. Guys, choosing a shade for that Hollywood smile is very subjective, leave your comments below about which veneer color would you like to get?.
3- Eyes: Eyes & teeth are the first features we see on a person face; a non-strict rule is using the whites of your eyes for guidance. So my advice is keeping the white of your teeth similar to the white color of your sclera. Following this tip, you will look enough white but not like Ross.
4- Personality and expectations: People with an extrovert personality tends to choose brighter teeth colors because they're comfortable getting attention. Picking a whiter shade will attract attention to your smile. If you care about this, consider it before selecting a color. And more important, feel free to communicate this point with your dentist so you can get a great result.
5- Teeth size: The white color itself has a visual effect of amplitude, so choosing the whiter shade will make veneers look bigger than they are. Be careful with the size if you're getting the whitest veneer shade.
Now the takeaway of this video:
Using VITA's color chart:
The BL1/0M1 is the whitest color available for anyone to choose.
- For light skin people with an extrovert personality who's getting more than 8 eight veneers; the color BL2/0M2 would be my first suggestion, followed by BL1.
In case you want to be more natural, I would recommend going down to a BL3/0M3 color.
- On the other hand, if your skin complexion is medium (olive) a BL3/0M3 and BL2/0M2 are my suggestions for you.
- For dark skin complexions, the whiter shade I usually suggest is BL3 or BL2 and In case you want to be more conservative B1 would work great also.

I wanted bl3 and the dental assistant convinced on bl2 I really hope it doesn’t look too white it’s currently being made in the lab and I’m so scared
Hey , update me pls i am so scared too
I am currently in the middle of getting 20 teeth. I have my temporaries on now and been really thinking about what color, I am going to go with the BL1 because I do like a lot of attention to beautiful smile plus you figure you spend so much money go big or go home! 😂 this will be the second time that I got the first six front teeth done, and my previous dentist really pushed for me not to go super white and once they were in after five years, I was very disappointed with them so I’m going all the way white
Hey Guys so I got the bl2 and it’s not too white at all honestly sometimes it still looks yellow I wonder why but they definitely look natural and not overly white
What is your skin tone?
@@alinamorgan106Were they eMax veneers? Or what kind? I think that also influences how the shade comes out . I also need to choose my color today or tomorrow and so confused. But I think I will be going with BL2 as well
Such a helpful video. Exactly what I needed. Everyone capture there's journey about getting their teeth done but never discusses or covers the veneer colour. Super informative and helped to finalise my decision.
Thank you I'm getting 12 crowns upper and lowering 2 weeks time. You have helped me finalise my choice.
Thank you I have searched so much and no one tells what colour they got this is the only content out there with this information you are wonderful thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and subscribing, where are you from?
Thank you so much for this informative video! I am going to be getting my teeth done soon and I could not find any information to help me. This has been the best so far.
This is fantastic info. Thank you! ❤️

Great material !!!!!!!!!!!! You help me a lot ! :)
This video was very very helpful. Thank you.
Wow best and easiest tips ever thanks
I got 6 top and 6 bottom and I chose BL2 absolutely love them
Thanks for your comment. In my experience, the BL2 and BL3 colors are lovely shades! The most important thing is that you love them, and I'm happy to hear it.
Thank you for sharing doc its a big help for us

Very helpful, Thank you.
Great video! So useful, helps people to quickly choose a good colour without overthinking too long lol. I'm pale skinned and will probably choose BL2.
I’m pale and pick bl2 as well but really wanted bl3 I don’t want to draw too much attention to my teeth mouth area
Great video even reading your message yes was helping me to choose the right colour right now so thank you very much❤
Did you get your veneers? Are you happy with bl2 shade?
I have light skin, green eyes, I choose BL3 for crowns and they are light enough... and the natural shape
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😁
I wish my dentist was so beautiful. 😘
Very good guidelines and just what I was looking for. Veneers are trendy right now and I can tell most people are picking the brightest color instead of the brightest that complements their skin.
Hi Dear, I'm glad you found the guidelines helpful! You're absolutely right about the trendiness of veneers. It's essential to choose a shade that not only brightens your smile but also complements your skin tone and overall appearance. Your dentist can help you find the perfect balance for a natural and radiant smile. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Thank you, that's very helpful video and your english is so easy to understand for foreign people ) thanks
Glad it was helpful! :)
Extremely informative. Thank you very very much for this video. I a'm currently doing my porcelain veneers and I plan on doing BL3 color. Thank you greatly.
hello. how did it well? Was the shades good? I dont want to go with too white. I am a white skinned and I am waiting for BL3 set
@@dens3096 Hey. I went with BL2, you might wanna do the same. BL3 is more yellow than I thought.
@@adrianh3817this is so helpful to know. I was wondering between bl2 and bl3 but if bl3 has a yellowish hue then i definitely don’t want that
thanks for the tips doctor..
Always welcome
😊 Wow . This is the best video that discusses choosing the right color of veneers . I'm planning on 8 upper veneers. I hate the natural color of my teeth . They have always been yellow gray .
I'm going to choose BL2 because my skin is very very light , I have light white scleras, and outgoing personality. Thanks so much for your help 😁
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🥹
I'm thrilled to hear that you found the video helpful. BL2 sounds like a fantastic choice, especially with your light skin and bright personality-it will really make your smile stand out beautifully! If you have any more questions or need further advice as you move forward with your veneers, feel free to reach out.
Have you already scheduled your appointment, or are you still in the planning stages? Feel free to share your journey with us, and thanks for being a part of our community! 😁
I will take a BL2
I like BL2
Thanks sow you help me a lot 🙌👏👌😁
Thank you very much you saved me.
Thanks for your comment.
This is awesome. I love your presentation. Very clear to understand for those that don't know dental lingo. What about OM1, OM2, OM3? Where does that fit on the charge (Vita)
Hi Olivia, I appreciate your comment!
0M1 is the same as BL1; you see different names because BL1 to BL4 belongs to the "Classic" shade guide, while 0M1 to 0M3 belongs to the most "3D Master" version of that same tooth shade guide.
In that order BL1 = 0M1 & BL3 = 0M3.
😍😍😍😍
Brought up some good points to consider. Many ask for BL1 then complain their teeth look too big. This was very helpful.
Thank you
Bernie, thanks for watching and subscribing!
You're right; we hope they find the video and make the best decision for themselves.
Top vid!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 If you have any questions about veneers or the color selection process, feel free to ask. Your support means a lot!
1m1 best natural colour 😘
I think we should all get BL2 even if its too white cuz veneers and crowns do discolor over time and getting the whitest shade is a good idea 🤷🤷
Absolutely.. who wants natural yellowing teeth with a hint of caramel and coffee staining ! 😂 im getting the whitest and thickest white possible!
BL1
@@flight101 Yes exactly 😂. I wanted BL1 but people will get the idea that my teeth are fake but I will still do it
Did you get yours in Bl2? How did they turn out? Are you happy with the color?
@ilovecamels4889 yh I got BL2 and I love them my teeth sparkle now but I wish I got BL1 even if they look fake because I want to keep my veneers for a long time and they will also discolor over time
Thank you for your advice it's really helpful am looking for much details abt how to choose the right teeth color am very worried about the result and if i missed up with the appropriate teeth color degree looking for a natural look .
Hi @imennaya5040, Thanks for your comment! I'm glad the advice was helpful. If you're still in the process of getting veneers, consult your dentist and use a shade guide to match veneers to your natural teeth. Testing temporary veneers can also help you see the color before deciding. Discuss your concerns with your dentist for the best result.
Best regards, Dr. Rodriguez!
This video was really helpful, I am in the process of having replacement 6 veneers on the uppers, I selected B1 which was the same as my other natural teeth but when they were placed on my teeth they came up more like a C1. I would say the teeth stumps behind the veneers are maybe C2 or D4 ish. We are going to change them but I dont know if a BL2 would look like a B1 once placed on top of my darker teeth. I'd really appreciate your advice please. Thank you, Yvonne
No, they will not. I have BL2, they look like more natural and white but they are not very white.
@@kristinearshakyan7757Did you get eMax veneers or zirconia? I am also in the process of selecting my shade. Bl2 is my favorite for now but I don’t want them to look overly fake white and artificial 🙈
I went with BL2
I’m black btw, and they look great!
Do you think they are too white? I’m thinking I’m going for bl3

Very good, thank you. 1.25X playback speed is needed ;) Also, what is your teeth color shade would be some extra data.
Agree
What brand is the composite
Bl3
Speed 1.5 it's the right one
I'm getting 10 top and 10 bottom, I have green eyes and light brown hair fair skin yellow tint and I can't figure out bl2 or bl3
No answer?
What did you choose?
I am having the complete upper arch done 6 implants, in the bottoms having four implants and the remaining teeth crowned. I am of medium complexion and feel B1 has too much yellow, so I am considering either BL3 or BL4 favoring BL4 so not to make a mistake. My understanding is that BL3 and BL4 the lab can make them look natural. What do you think and can the lab make them look natural??
Being medium complexion, I went with BL3. Thank you for your instructional video.
@@MrFilmfan86 How is it? Do you like BL3?
Are these shades BL1,2,3 only available with veneers? Or is it also possible to reach one of those shades with bleaching? Also I would like to know how do BL1-3 compare to B1 and A1 do they all appear brighter?
Hello Crown Royal thanks for watching & comment! The shades BL1,2,3 aren't natural tooth shades; they can be reached with veneers or whitening (With whitening: only in cases where the patient naturally had a very light color before bleaching them, such as B1/A1)
BL means bleached, so yes BL1-3 means brighter/whiter than B1 & A1
I just left the dentist office after being disappointed by the choice of color for crowns.He tried to bully me into keeping B1 which is no where near BL1 or OM1 their mistake not mine.Hopefully you see now that the B1 is nothing close to BL1 or OM1 which I chose🦷🙏🏻
@@aubreejolie5809 Do you think the B1 is not white enough?
I also want the whitest shade possible but I want shaped with personality, not straight, same length and squared, that seems like a fake look.
Great choice; white shades with a lot of texture (no flat) and some translucency will prevent them from looking fake.
What color should I choose between 1M1 or OM3. Thank you
Which one did you choose? They are my favs as well!
I made a changed hopefully it will turn out ok .. I went down to bl3 instead of bl2 .. do you think bl3 will still be white ? I still want it to be white but naturally white .
How did they go ?
@@lisa-mariehilton2729 Thnks for asking I actually got bl2 it’s soo nice not too white either but still white .. there’s a new girl at work and she described me the one with nice teeth lol the process getting it was crazy though ..
@@Mj-wg7wqdo you think you could have gone Bl1 also or it will be extreme ??
@@Mj-wg7wqI’m having mine done in four weeks, any tips? I’m having 26 zirconia crowns
What undertones are in the BL shades? Everything else seems to have known undertones (brown for A, yellow for B's) but I can't find anywhere what hues are resembled in the bleached shades? I chose BL4 but it did look a bit grey to me
Hi thanks for your comment, when it comes to dental shades, particularly the bleached shades (BL), the undertones can indeed be a bit different from the traditional A and B shades. The BL shades are specifically designed to mimic the appearance of naturally bleached teeth and aim for a brighter, whiter look. If you're looking for a less grey and more natural white appearance, you might want to consider moving up to BL3 or even BL2, depending on how bright you want your smile to be.
Hello Dr. I heard that all BL colors are Artificial and all other colors are Natural look. Does that mean there is big difference between BL4 and B1 in therms of natural looks? (In both cases is about e-max crowns) Thanks!
Hi @velimirkoshevic7940, Thank you for your comment and for watching the video! You’re right that BL shades tend to look more artificial, while other shades offer a more natural appearance. However, the difference between BL4 and B1 is very subtle. If you’re leaning towards BL4, I recommend going for it. Just make sure to ask your dentist for samples of both colors so you can get a better idea of which one you prefer.
Does the size of veener itself can affect which color to choose?
For examble the thinner veneer needs whiter shade ??
Hi, @basmagamal6401 What a wonderful question!
Yes, the thickness of a veneer can affect the color choice. Thinner veneers might need a whiter shade since they let more of your natural tooth color show through.
If you still need guidance, feel free to connect with us!

Thank you for your answers. What ist the different between BL.. and M... . Thank you very much. Greetings from Austria.
Hi, Christoph; happy to hear that people from Austria watch our videos. The difference between BL.. and M. is that BL belongs to the "Classic" shade guide, while M belongs to the "Most Recent" version of that same tooth shade guide, called "3D Master," but basically, BL1 is the same 0M1 & BL3 = 0M3.
Can u get a bL1 colour with Composite bonding
Hi, Bkb; thanks for your comment
Well, yes, Resin/Composite is available at different colors and brands.
Best Regards
Dr. Rodriguez
Will the BL 1 change color? I just got mine done and I didn’t wanted the whitest shade, but the doctor said they’re only had two shades and the other one was a slight yellow so I choose the whiter one. She put a yellow cement to the back so it doesn’t appear so white, but it’s still too white for my liking. I’m still trying to get use to them.
Dear Crystal, thanks for your comment. Veneer may change their color depending on their material. For example: if they are Composite veneers, chances are they will change. But, Porcelain veneers remain their color for many years. What type of material are yours?
Giving yourself time to get used to the color you have, sounds AWESOME. Especially these first weeks when you got them because significant changes take time, you may love them soon...keep me updated. :)
If not, there’s always an option to replace them too.
Best Regards
Dr. Rodriguez!

Very helpful video! Does age matter? I'm 61 (very fair-skinned) and in the process of 11 veneers and replacing front crowns. My previous, old crowns were a B1 shade, and beaching my lower, they still reach a B1 shade (or close too), but as we age, I know teeth age too and get more yellow. I want it to be brighter than the old B1, but not by much because my lowers are not being done. I'm torn between OM2 vs OM3 - afraid OM2 is too bright and maybe OM3 will be too yellow. feedback please?
Look at it this way. Would you rather your teeth look too natural or too bright. If you go OM2 they might look fake with your skin color and people will know you had work done to your teeth and OM3 will be a little bit more yellow but it will be brighter than anyone else's teeth in the room and it wont look to noticeable.
Split the difference and do a 2.5
@@daisy-wy2me too late! I went with OM3. They do look bright, but certainly not fake.
@@denisewood9636 so glad! I went with 2.5 but def would’ve been more than happy or even preferred the 3! Good choice !
I agree. Older people look odd with super white teeth . I would pick BL2 or BL3
I just need top crowns. Not sure what to do? I was going to ask they match better with bottom teeth. I did not want the extreme white on top making them look fake. Argh
How did they go? In case you're still in the process, I will suggest asking the dentist to show you the color 1 shade above your natural color. Compare it and see if that helps you to make a decision.
@@cartagenaenglishsdentist that’s about what I did. I’m using Crest Whitening strips on other teeth. She far I did teeth behind canines about 1.5 lighter. Once I do the top fronts same, and keep up with strips on bottom teeth.. I think it will look good :) I will not do fronts canine to canine until 2024, to maximize insurance benefit.
I got b1 bc it looks natural
Nice choice, Deb; B1 is slightly bright & natural. I hope you're loving your new smile. :)

I'm not sure what you were thinking.
I just got bl2 and they look awesome, there natural looking but still are as white as could be…

Honestly I can't decide between BL2 and BL3.. BL1 is just too white IMO but who knows. I haven't done them yet. If you do please update us
@@Aladdin1989 sure
Thanks for watching, I'm glad I can help you and others. If you're having trouble deciding between two colors, I have a suggestion that might make the decision easier. You can request your dentist to provide color samples of both BL1 and BL2. Dentists usually have a color guide that can help you identify which shade suits you best. During the trial, you can examine both colors in front of a mirror and choose the one that matches your preferences. This method can provide you with a more accurate visual representation, and you'll be able to make an informed decision. Thank you for considering this option.
Best regards.

I am choosing veneer/ crown shades
I went with b1 but now I’m thinking I should call and change to bl 2 possibly? Has anyone gotten b1 and regretted it?
Hello, thanks for your comment: Hopefully this answer can help others "In my opinion the best way to decide between 2 colors, is to consult with your doctor and specifically ask them to place both colors near your lips and allow you to examine them in front of a mirror. Most dentists can perform this try-in using a color guide, which is readily available in every dental office. By doing this, you'll gain a more accurate visual representation and be better equipped to choose the shade that suits you best" Kind regards

How easy is it to change your veneer color to another color after the procedure?
Hi Jay, thanks for tuning in! I appreciate your question. Changing the color of veneers after the procedure isn't as simple as adjusting natural teeth. Typically, if someone wants to alter their veneer color, it means replacing them entirely with new ones in the desired shade.
If you're considering veneers or contemplating a change in color, don't hesitate to reach out! We're here to assist you in making informed decisions and achieving the smile you desire.
About to get my veneers nextweek. I wanted bl03 but the dentist said go for bl2. I am confused she said bl3 is whiter than bl2. Was is a mistake or a trick so I will be surprised in the actual? Hmmmm. I told her ok i will ger bl2,
Hi, thanks for your comment. Not sure if It was a mistake, But for Sure BL2 Is brighter than BL3. The difference between both is subtle; they will look amazing best regards!
How did the bl2 turn out?
@@Aladdin1989 so far so good. It's white and looked natural white. The color made my smile more radiant. I guess it's the best shade of white
Just wondering if your recommendations apply to crowns?
Hi E. J. Thanks for watching yess! they do apply for dental crowns
Absolutely Yes! These recommendations apply to crowns too!
Bl1... I'm like..no
Is bL1 Translucent
Hi, thanks for your comment
Well, porcelain and Resin/Composite are available at different levels of translucency. Your Dentist and the Lab will be determined which translucency level to use based on the conditions of your teeth + your own expectations/desires as a patient.
Best Regards
Dr. Rodriguez
Brighter teeth I love it but makes the teeth look bigger
Thank you for your comment! 😊 I'm glad to hear you love the brighter teeth! Sometimes, brighter shades can create an illusion of larger teeth due to the way light reflects off them. If you're considering a whiter smile but want to maintain a natural look, discussing the right shade with your dentist can help achieve the perfect balance. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

I don't think they do red teeth 😢
Haha, true! Red teeth would definitely be a bold choice! 😅 But there are so many great natural shades to choose from to get a bright, beautiful smile. If you have any questions about veneers or need help selecting the perfect shade, feel free to ask.

Thanks for watching!
Best is A2 natural looking
Right very natural color; thanks for your comment.
I believe it's the most common one that people pick
I got Bl2 and im not happy at all. Should have gone lighter
Lighter like more b1 or b3?
Bl1 unless the dentist or lab had made then wrong they are not white
So sorry to hear that; there are so many factors that could play a role here, but I do have a question are there porcelain veneers? if so did you check them before they were bonded?

HI thank you for replying to me
I had 6 veneers e max on my top sides. and zirconium on the front 4 the emax seem a little whiter than the zirconium crowns. my biggest problem i have now is that the final crown was fitted 2 weeks ago and its whiter than the other 3 zirconium crowns so just stands out in photos
Hi buddy Im not sure if I understand you completely, but here is my answer Zirconia and Emax are different materials, so I can understand at the end they stand out in your photos especially if the dental work was done separately, Regarding this last crown have you tried to find out with your dentist why this one was made separated than the other 3?
Kind regards @user-jh8gf4mg6v
I made a mistake and got bl1 🥴
Hey, why was BL1 a mistake? I have an appt. July 27th and I was thinking BL1 or BL2.
@@navycorpsman2007 bl1 looks so fake especially if there not emax
@@Legendofzedia So you would recommend BL2 or BL3 to look more natural? I was definitely going for BL1 next month.
@@navycorpsman2007 whichever colour you choose it's always best to ask for translucency veneer tips. I work in dentistry in Sydney and we see lots of these cases. I have fair skin, with make up I'm probably a little bit darker, I chose shade BL3 with translucency. It's a bit more pricey but it's worth it and they don't look like mini bricks in your mouth. By the way anything past shade b1 is not a natural white. So don't worry with bl3 you will still have very white teeth!
@@goodvibesonly2015 Thank you for your input BL2 or 3 is what I’ll ask for. Best wishes

Does smoking cigarettes make them darker with time?
Yes they do, your can actually become brown
Hi @mytchybarbie,
Yes, smoking cigarettes can potentially stain veneers over time, especially composite veneers. Porcelain veneers tend to resist color stains better. It's important to maintain good oral hygiene and limit habits like smoking to preserve the appearance of your veneers. Regular dental cleanings can also help remove surface stains and keep your smile bright. Thanks for your question!
I wish this lady spoke slower.
The whitest shade looks incredibly fake and ugly. I do not understand why people choose it... The goal should be to make it look pretty and natural.
Hello, thanks for watching the video I hope this was helpful, and appreciate your comments. Everyone is unique in their own way, I can agree with you to some extent; however, I also believe that poorly shaped veneers, combined with the whitest opaque color, contribute to their artificial appearance.
Thank you for this video. However, I wish you could talk a little faster. I feel sleepy and bored when you talk 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻
Just increase the speed to 1.25 then 🤷🏽♀️
Regretting my choice of veneers 🥲Too white for my eyes and skin color.looks too fake.Looking for another money to get better shades 🥲
Which shade did you choose?
I bet you your smile looks beautiful, you’re just not used to having such white teeth. I wouldn’t change them at all because remember they have to last 20 something years and they will fade.
I like BL3
That's awesome! BL3 is a great choice for veneers-it offers a bright, natural look that's very appealing. Have you already scheduled your appointment, or are you still in the planning stages? Feel free to share your journey with us, and thanks for being a part of our community!
