Effective Treatment Planning
After agreeing on the treatment plan, the dentist will discuss and provide detailed information on indications, colors, materials, and special considerations for the prosthetic fabrication.
For example: Choosing the IPS e.max material, this material system provides a suitable fixed prosthetic solution for nearly every patient case. The lab can choose from a variety of IPS e.max materials (e.g., lithium disilicate or zirconium oxide) to deliver impressive results.
- Proven durability of all-ceramic restorations
- Convincing quality and high aesthetics
The goal is not only to give patients a more natural smile but also to improve overall health.
Data Collection and Sending Complete Information to the Lab
After the patient approves the treatment proposal, the dentist will scan the patient’s condition before tooth preparation using an intraoral scanner like Vivascan and send the digital scan, the complete set of digital photos, and detailed instructions to the dental lab for diagnostic wax-up as well as mock-up for temporary prosthetic fabrication. The patient’s expectations and treatment goals will be carefully and thoroughly presented.

Conclusion
In the field of dental patient care, maintaining effective communication, enhancing knowledge, and fostering collaboration between dentists, patients, and the dental lab are foundational to achieving the best treatment outcomes. From smile design to treatment planning, every step requires meticulous attention, coordination, and the use of advanced technology. Utilizing tools such as digital photography and intraoral scanners not only improves the treatment process but also facilitates mutual understanding among all parties involved, ultimately providing patients with a more natural smile and comprehensive oral health.
