About Luke S. Kahng
For more than 27 years I have worked as a dental technician, with the past 17 of those years as a CDT and lab owner. My focus is on the achievement of natural esthetics through my study of tooth morphology and its duplication in ceramic work. Because of this fascination with and careful study of natural tooth color, shape, contour and esthetics, I was able to design and produce my own ceramic shade tab system called The Seasons of Life Selections in 2012. The system is categorized by age groupings and gives the dentist many color choices that realistically mimic natural teeth color and characteristics and makes the classifications more realistic than other shade tabs when compared with natural dentition.
I am asked sometimes, with regard to my shade tabs, “What about value?” This is because my ceramic shade tabs are naturally low in value and some clinicians wonder if that will work for all their patient needs. The answer I have given is, “If we think about the category of patient who will require the most dental work, it will usually be those who are over the age of 30. At that point in their lives, they will need a low value restoration with more translucency. The young patients we see very rarely need the dental work that our more mature patients do, so my shade tabs will provide a more realistic color match.“ I have received very positive feedback with this response - because it’s true!
I do not ever tire of my work. It’s my passion and purpose and I put all my energy into doing it better, every day.
