Wax-Up Models
Preview Your Brand-New Smile
Just as an engineer creates a model to ensure that a machine will work correctly, the dentist often fabricates a wax-up model of jaws and teeth when working on more complex restorative or cosmetic cases. By building an accurate model of your mouth here at East Islip Dental Care, we can test prosthetics, veneers, and other dental work to ensure a proper fit. You can also see what our proposed solutions will look like on the wax model so you'll make a truly informed decision about your dental work!
What Happens During the Wax-Up Models Process?
If adjustments are required, one of our dentists will adapts the model to reflect changes before the case goes to the dental laboratory. Wax-ups provide us with a realistic projection of how your dental work will look and function, which results in more accurate restorations overall.
