What is veneer design software?

Veneer design software creates the 3D shape of each veneer from the scan of the prepared teeth, ready to be milled or printed. With Circle One, you select the veneers on the dental map, get an automatic proposal, check every margin line and export the files chairside.

Veneer prep design

What your veneer prep scan should show

Veneer preparation is a clinical decision. The design is faster when the scan makes it easy to read.

  • Maxillary and mandibular scans, full arch
  • A bite scan to place the antagonist
  • A clear finish line on every prepared tooth
  • Adjacent and symmetric teeth visible
  • Optional: a pre-op scan, one per arch
  • Margins free of moisture and soft tissue
Tip

Add the pre-op scan to start from the patient’s original shape: Circle One asks Copy or prediction when the proposal opens. The 3 copy methods
