“FirstFit lets you take advantage of computer-guided dentistry without the investment,” said Dr. Ross Nash, a pioneer in the art of cosmetic dentistry. “Precision fit, esthetics, and minimally invasive technique are all advantages of this ingenious technology.”
A recent veneer case, performed by Dr. Nash along with Dr. Shaharyar Fiza, is a great example of how FirstFit can incorporate minimally invasive techniques into a complex case. Here are highlights of the steps followed during the delivery appointment of 18 veneers—the second of a two-visit protocol.
