VITA Shade Systems
A superior performance requires experience.
Change equals motion, which equals the future. This is a phrase that describes the dynamic process we´ve taken since our foundation in 1924, during the course of which we have developed into an internationally renowned specialist in tooth shades. We were the first dental company to describe natural tooth shades in scientific fashion and to document them in the form of shade guides that have become the international standard.
Our goal is precise shade reproduction. This also includes establishing reliable processes in laboratories and dental practices, improving the workflow, saving time and money, and ultimately, producing esthetic results.
The VITA basic principles:
-
Fast and reliable tooth shade determination
-
Precise and complete communication of the correct tooth shade

Tooth Shade Determination
Tips for performing shade determination when working with a VITA shade guide. By practitioners for practitioners.
-
Wherever possible, determine the tooth shade using a standardized daylight lamp
-
Make sure that the surroundings are neutral in terms of color. Lipstick and cosmetics should be removed, and bright clothing covered by a grey cape
-
Make your selection quickly. In case of doubt, trust your initial decision as the eye already tires after approx. 5 - 7 seconds
-
Disinfect the shade guide every time after performing shade determination
Performance based on a reliable system.
Establishing and maintaining esthetic and healthy teeth – that is always the focus of individual consultations, examinations and treatments. The tooth shade provides the finishing touch in superior quality services of this kind, and is the mark of quality that is always visible. Natural reproduction in this respect is a daily challenge. After all, natural tooth shades differ in terms of lightness, hue and chroma. And depending on the individual interplay of these factors, this has an impact on the entire restoration process.
So it is good to have a partner at your side who offers efficient, proven support. It's good to have VITA at your side.
