§ R-01 Natural enamel
The specimen shown in § 00. Three windows, averaged in linear sRGB, converted to CIELAB (D65 / 2°).
Natural is not simple.
A smile that looks natural takes more than choosing the right shade.
It takes proportion, texture, translucency, anatomy, function and the small imperfections without which a tooth does not read as real.
| Window | sRGB | CIELAB, D65 / 2° | Nearest tab | ΔE00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cervical third | #EBD2BC | L* 85.75 a* +5.34 b* +14.38 | A2 | 8.06 |
| Middle third | #EEE0D5 | L* 90.06 a* +2.68 b* +7.35 | A1 | 8.95 |
| Incisal third | #DDD2C7 | L* 84.76 a* +2.23 b* +6.70 | A1 | 7.46 |
Wide table. Drag it sideways for the last columns.
ΔE00 5.86
From the cervical third to the incisal third, inside one tooth. The accepted threshold for a colour difference a patient will take as a match is ΔE00 1.8. One tooth spans more than three times that, on its own.
Method: each window is the mean of its pixels in linear sRGB, converted to CIELAB (D65 / 2°); differences are CIEDE2000. The source file is an uncalibrated, recompressed JPEG, so the absolute shade cannot be recovered. The nearest-tab column is an orientation, not a shade determination. The difference between two windows in the same frame still holds, because both were lit by the same light in the same instant.
§ 02 Statement
It has never been about perfect teeth.
For me, dentistry has never been about building a perfect smile.
It is about understanding what makes each person different, keeping what is worth keeping, and changing only what genuinely asks to be changed.
Because the most beautiful result is not the one everyone notices.
It is the one that simply feels like yours.
§ 03 Approach
Which is why this page does not have one colour. It has sixteen.
What guides me.
Function
A beautiful smile should also work beautifully.
Aesthetics
Harmony over perfection.
Precision
Precision means predictability. No surprises.
Individuality
There is no universal smile.
§ R-02 Layered ceramic
Her own work, on the model, before it goes in. Same method as R-01.
The dentistry I believe in.
This is where science meets craft.
Caveat, stated rather than hidden: on R-02 the middle window sits over the mamelon structure, where the layering scatters more light back at the lens. It reads lighter than a flat facial surface would. An instrument that does not declare where it was pointed is not an instrument.
| Window | sRGB | CIELAB, D65 / 2° | Nearest tab | ΔE00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Incisal third | #DBCEBD | L* 83.31 a* +1.87 b* +9.82 | A1 | 5.28 |
| Middle third | #E5D5C5 | L* 86.13 a* +2.99 b* +9.77 | A1 | 7.09 |
| Cervical third | #DAC3AD | L* 80.08 a* +4.77 b* +13.69 | A2 | 6.43 |
Wide table. Drag it sideways for the last columns.
ΔE00 4.54
Cervical to incisal, inside one ceramic crown. Nature ran 5.86 across the same three thirds. The gradient is not decoration, it is the work.
§ 05 Treatments
What I can change. What is worth preserving.
T-02
Aesthetic & prosthetic dentistry
Restoring shape, function and aesthetics with individualised ceramic restorations.
T-03
Full mouth rehabilitation
When function, health and aesthetics have to be rebuilt together.
T-04
Implant prosthetics
Replacing what is missing, with respect for function, for biology and for natural aesthetics.
§ R-03 Before / after
One session, one light. Two frames, one window in each.
Real people. Real transformations.
Caveat: the two panels are framed from slightly different distances, so this is a within-session comparison, not a calibrated one.
| Window | sRGB | CIELAB, D65 / 2° | Nearest tab | ΔE00 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before | #D7B792 | L* 76.23 a* +6.51 b* +22.81 | A3.5 | 4.75 |
| After | #E8D3B9 | L* 85.58 a* +3.51 b* +15.58 | A2 | 6.08 |
Wide table. Drag it sideways for the last columns.
ΔE00 7.77
Before to after. Roughly four times the difference a patient would accept as "the same colour", which is the whole point of the appointment.
§ 07 Digital dentistry
This band is the 18% grey card the specimens are mounted on: the reference the eye is calibrated against, used at page scale.
Precision, supported by technology.
Digital dentistry gives me the power to see more, plan better and communicate more precisely.
But technology does not replace the human eye.
It makes it more precise.

§ 08 About
Drd. Cristina Păcurar
I believe dentistry is at its best when science, precision and craft meet.
I work in aesthetic and prosthetic dentistry, with a particular interest in results that look natural and respect both function and the person.
Every case starts with listening.
Because before I design a smile, I want to understand the person behind it.
§ 09 Your experience
A real sequence, in order. The numbers are the order, not decoration.
A different kind of dental experience.
- 01
I listen
I start from you: what bothers you and what you would like to be different.
- 02
I understand
I assess your smile, your function and your oral health in detail.
- 03
I plan
The treatment is designed in full before I begin.
- 04
I build
Every detail is adjusted until the result looks natural and feels like yours.
§ 10 Contact
Your smile. Your character. Your teeth.
Dentistry, with intention.
Let's make something that feels like you.
