Via VI — Aesthetica Dentalis

Cosmetic DentistryAesthetica Dentalis — the discipline of beautiful smiles

One aesthetic pathway from portrait to polish — design the smile digitally, rehearse it on unprepared teeth, prepare through the mock-up, restore in glass and translucent zirconia, then bond, finish and shine.

The Pathway

Five stages, one aesthetic thread

Every stage hands its data to the next — the portrait becomes the design, the design becomes the mock-up, the mock-up guides the bur, and the approved preview returns as the definitive restoration.

01
Design DSD smile design over portrait & scan — the patient approves the preview
02
Mock-up Print the design; a self-cured bis-acryl mock-up tried on unprepared teeth
03
Prepare Mock-up-guided, enamel-preserving minimal preparation
04
Restore Glass HT veneers milled & crystallised; Lumen crowns where masking or retention rules
05
Bond Isolated adhesive bonding, finishing & high polish
Stage 01 — Design

Show the smile before you shape it

Every aesthetic case opens with records, not rotary instruments: a standardised portrait and intraoral photo protocol, a full-arch intraoral scan, and the patient's own account of what the smile should say — merged into one case file.

Studio Clinic's DSD module draws the proposal over the patient's own face — incisal edge position, tooth proportions, midline and smile arc — and presents it chairside, so consent is given to a seen result, not a promised one.

Smile Photography Capability-level support — a standardised portrait & intraoral photo protocol from the clinic's camera, filed straight into the case
Stage 02 — Mock-up

Rehearse it in the mouth

The approved design leaves the screen unchanged: Studio hands the geometry to Auralis Print, which prints the mock-up model and transfer shell the same day — wash, cure, and the proposal is ready for the chair.

Filled with a self-cured bis-acryl resin (chairside consumable), the shell transfers the designed smile onto unprepared teeth. The patient sees, speaks and smiles with the mock-up — and approval at this visit becomes the blueprint for every later stage.

Design Handoff One file from Stage 01 — incisal edge, proportions & midline travel from Studio to Print unchanged
Stage 03 — Prepare

Prepare through the mock-up

With the approved mock-up seated, reduction stops being estimation. Depth-cut and reduction guides printed from the same design mark exactly where enamel may give way to veneer thickness — minimally invasive by measurement, not by intention.

Finishing stays conservative: a fine chamfer or butt joint by indication, margins finished with fine-grit diamonds and polished. A final intraoral scan captures preparations, margins and shade reference for the lab — the armamentarium is clinic-tier diamond burs, no proprietary lock-in. Where whitening precedes the case, shade taking waits until the colour has stabilised — usually about two weeks — before the final scan and the restoration.

Stage 03+ — Temporise

Wear the smile before it is final

Once the preparation is finished, milled PMMA temporaries are seated — shaped from the approved mock-up design, so the patient leaves wearing the proposed smile rather than a shrunken version of it.

The temporaries are a listening device: phonetics, lip support, incisal edge position and shade are lived with for days, and the patient's feedback returns to Studio Clinic — the design is refined before the definitive glass or zirconia is milled.

Wear Feedback Patient feedback on phonetics & shade returns to the design before final milling
Stage 04 — Restore

Glass when you can bond, zirconia when you must mask

The mock-up the patient approved becomes the blueprint the lab executes. Glass HT carries the visible zone — veneers milled to enamel-like translucency, then crystallised, stained and glazed; where the abutment shade needs masking or bonding conditions are limited, Zirconia Lumen answers as the anterior full crown in a translucent multilayer body. One equipment line mills and fires both.

Every veneer and crown is designed in Auralis Studio, milled on Auralis Mill and fired in Auralis Sinter — designed so the approved mock-up guides every later step.

Stage 05 — Bond

Seat it once, seat it right

Bonding is a protocol, not a moment: try-in with water-soluble paste to verify shade and fit, isolation — rubber dam wherever the field allows — enamel etch, adhesive, and resin-cement seating with excess removed before final polymerisation. The restoration is conditioned to its material before it touches the tooth: glass ceramic is etched with hydrofluoric acid and silanated; zirconia is sandblasted and primed with an MDP-containing primer for resin cement — or conventionally cemented where retention geometry allows. The consumables are clinic-tier; the discipline travels with the pathway.

Finishing closes the case: margins polished back to a high shine, occlusion checked in static and dynamic contact, and final photographs and scans filed in Studio Clinic — the before-and-after record that also schedules the first recall.
