Wax-Up Models

Just as an engineer creates a model to ensure that a machine will work correctly, Dr. Shapiro often fabricates a wax-up model of jaws and teeth when working on more complex restorative dentistry or cosmetic dentistry cases. By building an accurate model of your mouth, we can test prosthetics, veneers, and other dental work to ensure a proper fit. You can also see what our proposed solutions will look like on the wax model, so you'll make a truly informed decision about your dental work. If adjustments are required, Dr. Shapiro adapts the model to reflect changes before the case goes to the dental laboratory. Wax-ups provide us with a realistic projection of how your dental work will look and function, which results in more accurate restorations.
