Diagnostic Wax ups

Diagnostic Wax Ups can provide a visualisation of what proposed treatment is required to ensure successful outcomes.

Study models are constructed from impressions and mounted on an articulator using a facebow if provided as a registration to accurately represent the actual tooth orientation in the mouth.
Following the proposed prescription, wax can then be added to the teeth to show the proposed definitive tooth position, shape and contour. Such processes can be used for one tooth or a full mouth reconstruction.

In addition, such diagnostic wax ups can be transferred to the mouth using a transfer stent so that our patients can gain an insight into how the final result will look and feel. The diagnostic wax up can also be used to construct temporary restorations after the preparation of teeth.
