If you are undergoing cosmetic dental treatment, at the Dental Suite we always recommend our patients to have a wax up prepared by the lab technician prior to starting with the veneer/crown/bridge work.
The reasons why a wax up is such an essential step in cosmetic dental treatment are listed below:
1- to see the shape of the teeth, so that you can check the length and the width and any changes can be made prior to the definitive restorations
2- can be used to make temporary crowns/veneers
3- to check function and bite forces when used as temporaries, so if any issues are present with the bite these can be corrected prior to the definitive restorations
