Veneers | Diagnostics

Diagnostics

At the first visit, hi-resolution photos, digital x-rays, a 3D CAT scan and a thorough clinical consultation will take place followed by expert explanation of the case diagnosis and treatment options. If indicated, pressure mapping and jaw tracking is administered to further assess occlusion mechanics. FMR (full mouth rehabilitation cases) and TMJ / TMD cases will follow the FMR protocol for establishing therapeutic occlusion, re-evaluation and long-term treatment administration. At this visit, impressions can be taken to design the prototypes for a fee of $50 per tooth ($500 minimum) which will later be credited to the full case fee.

Smile Design

Dentiq Smile Design has pioneered a proprietary process that combines leading imaging, software and refinement technologies to evaluate color, shape, shade, symmetry, size and style with the artistic expressions of the master ceramist, the principal cosmetic dentist and of course, the patient. Every detail is incorporated into a digital smile design prior to casting to the temporary veneers (the prototypes). This stage of the protocol requires the master ceramist and the principal cosmetic dentist to submit their design recommendations independently. The patient can be as involved as they would like to be throughout every step of the smile design process. That said, we recommend letting the principal cosmetic dentist and master ceramist develop a design based on measurements, color contrasts, hue, chroma, translucency and applied principles. From this point, patients can typically better articulate design discretions that they would like incorporated into the next prototype for re-evaluation.

Golden Proportion

The physical components which make up the sense of beauty and attractiveness come down to balance and proportion. This natural law of beauty is known as Golden Proportion (or Golden Ratio). Golden Proportion is an essential element in need of understanding, in order to create the perfect smile. READ MORE
