We may decide to construct before and after models of the teeth so that the patient will be able to see the projected result before any tooth is treated.

The models are prepared and covered with tooth coloured wax by our technician to produce an appearance that is very close to the finished result that we can obtain after constructing final crowns or veneers. This means that the patient will be able to assess the final appearance of their teeth very accurately before any actual work is done on them.

We quite deliberately avoid using computer generated images of the projected result in this practice because we believe that their use can lead to inaccurate assessment of how the patient's mouth will look after treatment. Experience has taught us that diagnostic wax models produce a much more accurate representation.

After we have evaluated the models and X-rays we discuss our diagnosis and treatment plan fully. Only when you the patient fully understands and approves the treatment plan we will schedule your first treatment appointment.
