Let’s start with a blueprint.

Dr. Peterson can create a diagnostic model by taking an impression of the patient’s teeth and gums and then creating a wax model from the impression. Once the model is created Dr. Peterson and the patient can look at it together.

The changes can then be shown more easily to the patient in a visual way so Dr. Peterson and the patient both understand what will be done to get to the new smile.

The diagnostic model is a three dimensional blueprint for the patient’s optimal smile. Where there is an understood plan, there is a satisfaction of everyone’s expectations. With this model one can see the functional and visual detail of one’s new smile before the procedures even begin.
