Virtual Diagnostic
Wax-ups

A Virtual Wax-up that gives you the final restoration

By applying the tools for Virtual Preparation & Virtual Gingiva, technicians can now prepare quality Virtual Diagnostic Wax-ups for dentist and patient previews. After confirmation from the clinic, the lab can utilize the Diagnostic Wax-up design directly to create the final restoration, achieving a highly productive workflow that reduces costs, promotes sales and support dentists.

Virtual Diagnostic Wax-ups in a model-free workflow
3Shape's Smile Composer ™ can be used to include both crowns and veneers and create esthetic and functional diagnostic wax-ups in a completely model-free design. Designs can be milled directly or potentially converted to snap-on smiles before milling.

Help the dentist with advanced 3D visualizations
3Shape's Communicate and unique 2D-Image Overlay feature allows labs to construct and send realistic and patient-specific before-and-after visualizations of the design and resulting smile.

Instant restoration from the virtual diagnostic wax-up
Align & Reuse Technology - After the dentist prepares the teeth, a scan of the physical preparation is accurately Aligned with the pre-preparation scan. The technician can then, with a single click, Reuse the temporary or virtual diagnostic wax-up design directly as the final restoration.

Productivity
Easily and rapidly design highly esthetic Virtual Diagnostic Wax-ups for accurate design previews.

Exact reproduction of the wax-up design
Reuse of previous designs allows a production workflow that is fast, easy and eliminates the problem of manually achieving exact reproduction of the diagnostic wax-up design.
