Providing temproary restorations and provisionals for esthetic work provide your patient with a great temporary solution between treatment start and final placement. Offering next-day waxup presentations can dramatically increase case acceptance for esthetic procedures and help manage patient expectations.
Because they can print in less than an hour and are low in material costs, you can 3D print provisonals and temporaries a nominal fee, increasing patient care. Plus, rapidly replace broken or lost restorations from digital records, with no need to re-take impressions.
3D print provisionals, crowns, and bridges for patients undergoing treatment. With low manufacturing costs, flexibility in fees can help improve patient acceptance. And, because they can be produced in less than an hour, practices can now fabricate temporaries on the same day they’re needed.
Final esthetic restorations such as veneers are the result of experienced dentists and dental technicians. But your patients don’t have to wait for the final product to see the results up close and in-person. With 3D printing, you can fabricate physical, beautiful wax-ups for patient presentation in a matter of hours.

Practice Insights
Dr. Lawrence Fung’s Los Angeles practice was built from the ground-up to leverage digital technologies: intraoral scanning, advanced photogrpahy, and digital design all figured prominently in his daily workflow. Despite this, Dr. Fung was initially hesitant to adopt a 3D printing. But after only a few months, Dr. Fung has leveraged his printer to drastically increase case acceptance for cosmetic procedures, providing intra-oral wax-ups in just 24 hours for most of his patients.

Dr Zhivago uses his SprintRay Pro 3D printer to provide rapid wax-ups for his patients’ esthetic and restorative procedures. Thanks to the low unit cost of each set of provisionals, he is able to provide his patients with spares in the case of loss or breakage, which is a huge boon to his world-travelling patient base. Learn how 3D printing is revolutionizing Dr. Zhivago’s office in this Practice Insight.
3D Printing Provisionals and Wax-ups
Using an intraoral scan and optional CBCT data, you can use 3rd-party software or work with a digital designer to create the digital model for the final restoration. Once you have your design, send one copy to your lab for production and import it into RayWare to print using the material of your choosing.
Our large selection of dental printing materials are designed to get the most out of SprintRay 3D printers. Whether you’re using resins from SprintRay or one of our growing list of materials partners, you’ll receive highly-accurate, outstanding results thanks to our extensive validation process.
SprintRay Study Model White 2 is a special material formulation that provides outstanding color, clarity, and production speed, making it perfect for patient presentation.

Digital dentures can reduce the number of appointments required for denture placement. SprintRay’s biocompatible try-in material can be rapidly printed to check bite registration and occlusion of dentures. This material can be printed monolithic or as a baseplate combined with individual tooth setup for maximum flexibility.
The SprintRay 3D printing ecosystem is designed for the unique needs of dental professionals. With SprintRay as your partner, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in dentistry has never been easier.
