Our role in creating a perfect smile

We utilizes the study models and photographs to develop various smile designs on the model. Our job is to define the individual smile design. This is done by managing the embrasure spaces, line angles, and incisal edges of the diagnostic wax-up such that it is characteristic of a youthful smile. Embrasures get larger in the posterior direction. For many patients, tooth symmetry is critical. Upon completion, the diagnostic wax-up is jointly reviewed by the dentist and patient prior to the preparation date.

We also helps in the fabrication of the template for provisionals. The provisionals should reflect what is present on the patient-approved diagnostic wax-up. The delivery of the provisionals permits a final evaluation prior to the definitive restorations.

Our efforts are critical to fabrication of the final restorations and the potential for treatment success. If the porcelain is not of the highest quality, the case will fail; and ultimately, the general dentist will be blamed. Communication between the dentist and us is vital for the success of many cosmetic procedures.
