Diagnostic Waxes

Diagnostic Wax-Ups are a helpful tool for any smile makeover because they give the patient, dentist and lab technician an accurate preview of how his or her finished case will look.

The lab removes the desired and realistic amount of tooth structure from the preoperative model and the restoration is waxed onto the patient’s actual prepped teeth. This method accurately shows the patient, dentist and lab technician what is realistically attainable for the patient, with most lifelike result possible. Provisionals can be produced using the diagnostic wax-up.
