Digital wax-ups have become an essential tool for dentists who want accuracy, efficiency, and predictable outcomes in esthetic and restorative dentistry. At Valley Dental Laboratory, our digital wax-ups give clinicians a clear roadmap for treatment—helping you communicate the proposed outcome, gain patient approval, and seamlessly transition from design to final restoration.
Why Digital Wax-Ups Stand Out for Dentists?
- Predictable Results – CAD-designed wax-ups provide precise contours and occlusion before final fabrication.
- Efficient Workflow – Digital modifications eliminate the need to restart with a new physical wax-up.
- Enhanced Communication – Clear esthetic and functional previews for patients, labs, and interdisciplinary teams.
- Streamlined Restorations – Approved designs translate directly into provisionals or final restorations.
- Reduced Chair Time – Fewer adjustments required during the try-in and final delivery.
