from the Front Office

Pictures are wonderful for shades or texture, but when it comes to the actual design of any anterior crowns, we bring in and align the preop scan and use that as a good starting point for design.

With pictures only, it's nearly impossible to get the correct measurements/shape/contour as we're eyeballing and making our best educated guess.

We've found Dr and pt seem to be more pleased and happier when we work off a preop for anterior cases. (this also helps in posterior cases)

Going forward on anterior cases, if it's easier, you can take a scan of the pt before you start prepping the teeth and send that over.

Thank you!- Ashley ☺️
