A wax-up is the most powerful case acceptance tool in cosmetic dentistry — it lets your patient see the final result before you prepare a single tooth. GIE builds precision hand wax-ups and digital mock-ups that translate directly into printed trial smiles and PMMA provisionals.
Cosmetic cases go wrong when the technician and dentist are each assuming different things about the final result. A diagnostic wax-up creates a shared physical reference — a three-dimensional blueprint that the dentist, the patient, and the lab have all approved before any irreversible tooth reduction occurs.
From the wax-up we can fabricate a silicone matrix for chair-side mock-up, a printed trial smile for in-office preview, or PMMA provisionals for a full-length trial period.
The wax-up stage is also where we collaborate directly with you on proportion, incisal edge position, midline, and gingival contour — details that are nearly impossible to communicate via written prescription alone. We can schedule in-lab reviews for complex full-mouth cases or send high-resolution photographs for remote sign-off.
The wax-up becomes the blueprint for every veneer case — always start here for 4+ units.
→Convert the wax-up to milled PMMA provisionals so patients can wear the new smile before committing.
→Full-coverage ceramic when the final design calls for crowns rather than veneers.
