ShadeWave has revolutionized the shade-taking and communication process to eliminate the guesswork of dental shade selection. Book a 30-minute “live” Zoom demo to see how ShadeWave’s dental shade matching system makes the complex easy.
Even after 40 years of attempts, the dental industry has failed to find a solution that simplifies shade matching and provides accurate dental shade selection. Determined to help dentists on their mission to help patients take back pride in their smiles, we took it upon ourselves to find a solution for the inaccuracies of shade matching. We’re proud of the software and products we’ve created, and we can’t wait to have you experience ShadeWave’s custom dental shade match for yourself.
Use the ShadeWave Mobile App on your iPhone to take your shade photos. The ShadeWave mobile software will control your camera, like autopilot. The clinical-quality photos are sent to your lab’s secure cloud account, where they’ll be notified as soon as the upload is completed.
The laboratory opens their ShadeWave cloud account and searches for your case. The photo gets color corrected and produces an accurate shade map of the unknown. This works scientifically even when the shade tab does not match the tooth or if the photo is not calibrated.
Seat and smile! With better-quality shade photos and powerful shade and value mapping tools, you and your customers will both have something to smile about; a better potential for a beautiful harmonizing restoration.

In dental lab photography, dentists, as mobile users, frequently change their “photo” and lock them to “portrait. This rotation causes problems with the receiver, the dental lab, because the photo is sideways. Our latest video on dental shade matching demonstrates how ShadeWave’s editing tools can effectively correct this problem.
