Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Invision Smile Trial?
Our signature process, a digitally designed, 3D-printed preview of your patient’s future smile. It’s where artistry meets cutting-edge technology, helping your patient see and feel the transformation before committing.
Do you only do cosmetic design work?
Our core focus is high-end aesthetic dentistry, full-mouth rehabilitations, veneers, smile makeovers, and motivational mock-ups.
While our retainers, dentures, and veneers are currently produced for internal cases only, we are now offering 3D-printed resin as a precise, efficient alternative to composite bonding as well as resin printed veneers. We can also provide high-quality printed temporaries for crown work—delivering accuracy, consistency, and excellent aesthetics to support your clinical outcomes.

3. Frontal Portrait in Repose
