Diagnostic Wax-Up Models

What are Diagnostic Wax-Up Models?

Our dentist may use a diagnostic wax-up model when planning your treatment. While advances in dental technology have made it possible to create digital models of your teeth and mouth, our dentist and team continue to use wax-up tooth models due to the many advantages they offer in treatment planning. As wax-up models are a physical representation of your mouth, they accurately reflect the size, shape, and condition of your teeth and other oral structures.


This allows our dentist to use actual dental items on the model to simulate your treatment results and see what your teeth will be like before, during, and after treatment so that you can make a fully informed decision about your dental care. Wax-up models also help our dentist to create dental veneers, crowns and other tooth prosthetics to restore or replace your teeth.


By using a wax-up model, our dentist can determine the best treatment options for your smile and ensure that your experience is personalized, comfortable and effective from start to finish. We want you to feel confident in the care you are receiving, and wax-up models are a great way to understand exactly how your treatment will benefit your smile.

If you have any questions about diagnostic wax-up models or would like to schedule an appointment with our dentist, give us a call today!
