This is one I&#8217;ve never encountered.  Whether or not your teeth can match your eyeballs really depends upon how white your eyeballs are. There are limits to what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/category\/teeth-whitening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"teeth whitening (opens in a new tab)\">teeth whitening<\/a> can do. Though, you certainly can get them very white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, when a patient is striving to match a certain color, we suggest they have porcelain veneers done. These can be more specifically designed to match certain colors. In addition to color, they can change the shape and size of your teeth as well.  It is the go-to procedure that celebrities use to get their Hollywood smiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when patients do get porcelain veneers we always have them whiten their teeth first, this way if they have a smile that is ten teeth wide but only get six porcelain veneers, the adjacent teeth will blend in with the veneered teeth and not look out of place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Do Your Cosmetic Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I recommend. Start with the teeth whitening. That may be all you need. If you get the level of whitening you want, job done. Any dentist can do teeth whitening, even your family dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it doesn&#8217;t get to the color you want, then you&#8217;ll have to decide if you want to get a total smile makeover with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/porcelain_veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"porcelain veneers (opens in a new tab)\">porcelain veneers<\/a>.  This does require some rather specific training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, cosmetic dentistry isn&#8217;t a recognized specialty.  That makes it hard for patients. Doing smile makeovers isn&#8217;t taught in dental school. The dentist has to seek post-doctoral training.  The best cosmetic dentists are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/about_mikemalone.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"AACD accredited (opens in a new tab)\">AACD accredited<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Lafayette, LA Cosmetic Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">Lafayette, LA Cosmetic Dentist<\/a> Dr. Mike Malone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am trying to figure out how white I can get my teeth.
