Show patients their crown or bridge result before you prep the tooth
Photograph the damaged tooth or the gap chairside. Makeover generates a shade-matched, photorealistic preview of the finished restoration in seconds — their own smile, their own gum line, not a stock lab photo of someone else's case.

What is a crown & bridge preview preview?
A crown and bridge preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of a patient's smile with the proposed crown or fixed bridge already in place. The dentist or treatment coordinator photographs the damaged tooth, prepped tooth, or edentulous gap, and the tool renders the restoration matched to the patient's own tooth shade, contour, and gum line — not a stock clinical photo of a different patient's case. Practices use it during treatment plan presentations to help patients commit to major restorative work before scheduling the prep appointment.
Why it matters
Crown and bridge work is the restorative dentistry patients stall on longest. A single crown typically runs $1,000–$2,500 out of pocket after insurance, and a 3-unit bridge for one missing tooth can exceed $5,000 — well past most patients' annual dental insurance maximum. The clinical urgency rarely matches the patient's felt urgency: a cracked cusp or failing old crown usually doesn't hurt yet, so patients defer, and the tooth often fractures below the gumline before they come back — turning a straightforward crown into a root canal plus crown, or an extraction. A preview that shows the finished result closes the gap between what you're seeing on the tooth and what they're willing to schedule.
Who uses this
General dentists and prosthodontists use it chairside right after the exam, while the patient is still looking at their own cracked tooth on the intraoral camera monitor. Treatment coordinators use it in the financial conversation, before presenting the estimate, so the patient is picturing the outcome and not just the invoice. Practices doing same-day CEREC crowns use it to set expectations for the final milled and glazed restoration before the block goes into the mill.
Heard this from a patient?
"It doesn't hurt, so I'll wait" — the cracked cusp or leaking old filling gets deferred for months, then fractures at the gumline and turns a straightforward crown into a root canal plus crown.
You quote a 3-unit bridge for a missing molar and the patient goes quiet, then asks if they can "just leave the gap" instead of hearing why a bridge or implant matters.
On a front tooth, they ask if the crown will "look fake" next to their natural teeth — usually because they've seen someone else's crown with a gray margin or a shade that doesn't match.
How crown & bridge preview previews work
Three steps. Under 10 seconds. No design skills needed.
Capture the tooth or the gap
Photograph the damaged, prepped, or edentulous tooth chairside, plus a smile-line shot for shade and contour reference. Standard operatory lighting and an intraoral camera or phone both work.
AI generates the restored preview
The model renders the crown or bridge in place — matching shade to the adjacent and opposing dentition, contour to the bite, and pontic shape to the gum line for bridge cases.
Present it with the treatment plan
Show the finished result on the same visit you present the estimate, before the patient leaves with just a printed treatment plan and a number to call back.
