A Valuable Tool for Any Smile Makeover

Diagnostic Wax-Ups help patients determine whether to proceed with treatment by comparing the printed model to their current smile. This technique involves removing the desired amount of tooth structure from the pre-surgical model, digitally designing wax patterns on the prepared teeth, and 3D printing the wax patterns. This method provides patients, dentists, and laboratory technicians with a precise and realistic preview of the achievable result for the case.

Through the use of CAD/CAM technology, the patient’s wax-up results can be replicated during the final restoration process. Diagnostic wax-ups can also be made from digital impressions. They serve as an optimal treatment planning tool to consistently achieve outstanding results.
