At Smile Dentistry Gubei, you can now receive your temporary veneers on the same day as your tooth preparation — no second visit required. We’ve implemented chairside 3D printing technology that replaces traditional manual resin sculpting with intraoral-scan-driven digital fabrication. The result: a more precise fit, a shorter appointment, and a preview of your final smile before anything permanent is placed.
The Problem with Traditional Temporary Veneers
In conventional workflows, temporary veneers are hand-shaped by a technician. Results can be inconsistent — rough margins, poor fit, extended chair time for adjustments. Patients often leave with provisionals that feel bulky or uncomfortable, and return days later for their permanent restorations.
What Chairside 3D Printing Changes
Our in-clinic 3D printer fabricates temporary veneers directly from your intraoral scan — the same digital model used to design your final restorations. Here’s what that means for you:
- Precise marginal fit — Digitally printed veneers sit flush at the gum line without the overhanging margins that cause food trapping or gum irritation. Your gum health is protected throughout the provisional phase.
- Same-day completion — Tooth preparation and temporary veneer fitting happen in a single appointment. No return visit needed before your permanent veneers are ready. For patients with busy schedules — or international visitors in Shanghai for a limited time — this makes a significant difference.
- A real preview of your final smile — The 3D-printed provisionals accurately replicate the shape, size, and alignment of your planned final veneers. You wear them, live with them, and tell us what you’d like adjusted — before the permanent restorations are manufactured. What you approve in the temporary phase is what you get in the final result.
Especially Useful for International Patients
For overseas visitors to Shanghai — whether here for a short trip or a longer expat stay — the single-visit workflow removes one of the biggest barriers to getting cosmetic dental work done abroad. You don’t need to plan around a second appointment.
