A1 Tooth Shade
The A1 tooth shade is one of the most popular. It offers a bright, white smile, without taking over, for a naturally enhanced aesthetic.
The term A1 is part of the universal shade guide used by dentists, but here at instasmile, we refer to it as Pure Natural White. It’s a colour that replicates the shade your teeth would be with a thorough oral hygiene routine – including whitening products and regular professional cleanings.
For the perfect balance between a bright smile and a natural look, choose instasmile today.
A1 Tooth shade color
The light, ivory color is seen as the ideal shade for teeth –- not too dark, not too light. It sits between BL1 (Hollywood White) and A2 (Light Ivory).
A1 teeth give you a fresh, youthful appearance without a sharp contrast.
It also complements a variety of skin tones, perfect for those wanting a fresh and radiant smile, but aren’t sure which one will suit them. Being in the realm of natural tooth colors, it’s perfect for those seeking a brightening effect while maintaining a realistic look.

Can you achieve an A1 tooth shade naturally?
You can, but it involves a lot of hard work.
Tooth color is often influenced by genetics, making it even harder to brighten. Lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking tea and coffee, and even the natural thinning of the enamel as we age can all alter the shade of your natural teeth.
If you’re one of the lucky few who have A1 teeth naturally, it’s harder for the rest of us. It often includes whitening treatments and cosmetic treatments to remove any staining.
How to achieve an A1 tooth shade
There are a few ways to boost the shade of your teeth up to an A1 tooth shade, including:
- Teeth whitening
- At-home or professional teeth whitening
- Porcelain veneers
- Composite bonding
- Dental crowns
While effective, these procedures can all take a while to complete, come with a long list of maintenance instructions, and are costly if you want them done well.
Luckily, instasmile snap-on veneers are an instant, hassle-free solution to boost your smile. Custom-made to your smile, you can wear them daily or when you need a boost in confidence.
