15 years of research and development has led to this moment. In the early 2000s Luke Kahng set out on a journey to provide world-class cosmetic dentists with innovative new tools that they would need to get the absolute best cosmetic results from their dental labs with maximum esthetics, improved efficiency and with minimum communication. This led to the release of the original Chairside Shade Guide, which was improved upon and followed up a year later with an improved Chairside Shade Guide version 2.0. Over the next several years Luke Kahng would develop and release the most sophisticated Shade Guide system ever released at the time, the Ceramic Chairside Shade Guide System. Comprised of Chairside Shade Guides 1-7, the tabs on these shade guides were made of the same materials that patients' final restorations would be made from. With additional factors included like dentition, translucency, gradation, tissue color, crack lines and more; this shade guide system was a vastly superior communication tool to any other device on the market. In 2023 the all-new Chairside Shade Guide 8.0 will compile the best of all the past successes of the Luke Kahng's shade guides into a single device that will represent the next evolution is shade matching technology.
