FAQs

What is a dental diagnostic wax up?

Diagnostic wax ups play a critical role in comprehensive treatment planning. It’s essentially a three dimensional wax model of the patient’s teeth that provides a visual and physical representation of the proposed dental restoration or treatment plan. 

Avant’s expert technicians can create precise diagnostic wax ups from manual impressions or digital scans that give dentists an accurate method to assess occlusion and the contour and shape of the teeth.

How are diagnostic wax ups made?

Physical impressions or digital scans are used to create 3D printed  or plaster models of the patient’s teeth, and the model is mounted digitally on an articulator to replicate the patient’s natural occlusion. 

 

Avant’s expert technicians then simulate changes in tooth shape, size, alignment, and contour. Finally, our technicians use artistic detailing techniques to create a lifelike representation.

What are the benefits of diagnostic wax up?

Comprehensive treatment planning: A diagnostic wax up is an invaluable tool for visualising the treatment sequence and identifying any potential challenges. It serves as a critical physical blueprint for a wide range of dental restorations.

Collaboration with your lab: Avant’s technicians use diagnostic wax ups as a key collaborative reference with the dentist for the overall design of the restoration, and ensures our technicians consistently deliver optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Precision and accuracy: An accurate diagnostic wax up gives the dentist an opportunity to closely assess the proposed treatment for precise tooth alignment, proportion, and occlusal harmony. This helps avoid potential complications and achieve optimal treatment outcomes.

Patient acceptance: A diagnostic wax up gives the patient a powerful way to visualise their proposed treatments. This ensures the patient and dentist are aligned on the treatment outcome, and gives the patient an opportunity to raise concerns or request changes early in the treatment planning process.

Can a dental diagnostic wax up be used for any type of dental treatment?

A dental diagnostic wax up can be used for just about any treatment that involves changes to the shape, size, alignment or aesthetics of the teeth. That typically includes veneers, crowns, bridges, full-arch restorations, implant placement, digital smile design, and a range of other orthodontic treatments.
