A1, A2, or A3? How to Pick the Right Tooth Shade

Choosing acrylic denture teeth? Shade describes the color; size describes the tooth mould or style. Choose each option separately.

A1, A2 and A3: a simple comparison

  • A1: a clean, brighter white.
  • A2: a natural tooth shade, darker than A1.
  • A3: a warmer, darker natural shade than A2.

These descriptions help compare our listed options. They cannot guarantee an exact match to your natural teeth.

How to choose your shade

If you have teeth next to the gap, use those as your reference. Compare in natural daylight rather than strongly yellow indoor lighting. Your phone screen, camera settings and room lighting can change how a product photo looks.

For a full upper and lower project, choose the appearance you prefer. For a partial project, consider how the new teeth will look alongside the teeth that remain.

Check the selected product option

Available shades vary by product. Read the shade and size together in the option selector before adding to cart. Do not assume every shade shown in a general guide is available in every set.

The size 23 medium acrylic denture teeth set offers one upper and lower set in your selected A1, A2 or A3 shade. These are loose teeth: shaping, fitting and separate base material are needed.

Still unsure?

Please message April before ordering with the product and shade you are considering. Review the return policy before buying; this guide does not promise a shade match or an exchange for used items.
