Diagnostic Wax Ups



Diagnostic Wax-Ups are a valuable tool for any smile makeover. They give the patient an accurate preview of how their case will look. By creating a diagnostic wax up, the lab removes the desired amount of tooth structure from the preoperative model and the restoration is waxed onto the patient's prepped teeth from the model. A Diagnostic Wax-Up accurately shows the patient, dentist and lab technician what is realistically attainable for the patient. The Diagnostic Wax-Up also helps many patients determine what kinds of treatment are possible. Patients are able to compare their Diagnostic Wax-Up to their existing smile.
