Digital Planning & Surgical Guides
Plan before you treat: surgical guides that carry your implant plan into the mouth, diagnostic wax-ups and digital smile designs to agree the result, and mock-ups your patient can see and try before any irreversible work begins.

What we make
- Implant surgical guidesGuides that transfer your planned implant position, angle and depth into the mouth for more predictable placement, made from your intraoral scan and CBCT.
- Diagnostic wax-upsA wax or digital model of the planned result, used to check function and aesthetics, and to make provisionals and mock-ups from.
- Digital smile designA smile blueprint designed from intraoral scans and facial photos, so you and your patient can agree tooth shape, size and position before treatment.
- Diagnostic mock-upsA wearable mock-up made from the wax-up or smile design that your patient can try in, to see and feel the planned result before committing.
- Full-arch implant planning supportHelp planning full-arch cases such as All-on-4 and All-on-6: tooth set-up from a denture scan, restorative space, and implant positions that suit the final prosthesis.

What is a wearable mock-up?
A thin mock-up made from the wax-up or smile design that your patient can try in, so they can see and feel the planned smile before treatment begins.
