Dental Lab & Shade Matching — Training with Matisse in Virginia

Earlier this month, Adina traveled to Chantilly, Virginia to attend a two-day “Mastering

Color Match” course held at the YM Dental Training Center by Matisse, a leading

program in dental ceramics training and professional shade matching techniques. The

hands-on course focused on understanding how light, translucency, and underlying

tones come together to create lifelike dental restorations.

For Adina, this experience was an opportunity to refine her skills in dental shade

matching and learn techniques for more natural-looking crowns, veneers, and

prosthetics. The Matisse approach combines dental artistry with scientific methodology,

helping technicians achieve more consistent and reliable color matching across every

case.

Back at the lab, Adina is already putting these lessons into practice, applying what she

learned to enhance the subtle color details that make each dental restoration look

natural and realistic.

This trip reflects her ongoing dedication to learning, improving, and ensuring that every

client receives custom dental restorations that not only fit perfectly but look beautifully

natural.
