Guidance and artistry to create the perfect smile.
Every case is different. Experience and knowledge is required to determine which material is best suited for superior esthetic outcomes, whether it be a full mouth reconstruction case, cosmetic restorations, implants, or a mixture of everything. We promise that you have a partner who is as invested in a successful outcome as you are.
Our Cosmetic Restoration Process
- Once your patient decides on a smile makeover or full mouth reconstruction,the diagnostic phase of the smile design is one of the very most important steps necessary for a successful patient outcome. The wax-up will be made ideal for preparation, provisionals, and a functional model to be used to design the final ceramic restorations. The wax-up will show the artistry of the case, giving the patient ease and confidence in the treatment plan.
- We commonly use the LVI Smile Design Catalog when designing our cosmetic cases. This helps the patient and doctor pick a smile design they like. We also create smiles based on celebrity smiles and enjoy crafting smiles such as the “Blake Lively Smile Design”, or YouTube Influencer “Armon Warren Smile Design.”
- Once we receive the first set of impressions, which include a full upper and full lower arch bite register and stick bite, we can start the design process of the Diagnostic Wax up. We also offer Diagnostic Wax ups using digital preoperative scans. Once we have the impressions poured in stone or a 3D printed model printed, we prep the model for either veneers or full coverage crowns, or both and proceed with designing the case. We are happy to share our checklist for submitting a cosmetic case.
- You will work with a dedicated Master Ceramist from start to finish on your case. They will go over the case and it's complexities, the patient goals and other topics. We currently use both Exocad and 3Shapre Trios to design our cases.
- Once the design has been completed and wax up is finished, we provide a temporary matrix and reduction guides to assist you with prepping the case and making the temporaries. Upon receiving the final impressions, we then start fabricating the final restorations. Our typical turnaround time for cases that are 6 or more units is 15 days in lab.
- You can view our cosmetic cases on our Smile Gallery page. Case planning on big esthetic cases is our niche in the dental industry and one we take great pride in.
- We also fabricate PMMA temporaries, if needed for implant cases. Some patients need PMMA restorations to wear while their implant tissue is healing, or they are having more dental work done and need to wait longer than usual for final restorations. We can design the PMMA restorations to look as life like as the final restorations with strength, shade, and esthetics.
