For Simple, Esthetic and Efficient Veneers: Uveneer

Australian-based dentist Dr. Sigal Jacobson created the ingenious Uveneer™ direct composite template kit when she found that traditional freehand direct composite veneers were artistically challenging, time-consuming, unpredictable, and not always cost-effective. Passionate about conservative cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Jacobson knew there was a better, less invasive way to create long-lasting, esthetic composite veneers. She spent years working with engineers to create the perfect design and process for her anterior facial matrix template system. Uveneer was born.

Uveneer is a unique, minimally invasive template system that creates beautiful direct composite veneers with predictable shape and symmetry—all in one visit. Each template mimics natural dentition and is designed to create high-quality natural-looking anterior restorations. Uveneer uses innovative technologies that help the dentist achieve a refined, anatomically correct, high-gloss restoration in a fraction of the time than if done freehand. Results are both reproducible and predictable. Uveneer can also be used for cosmetic mock-ups and shade selection as well as temporaries during porcelain veneer creation.

Each reusable, autoclavable template is designed to mimic ideal tooth anatomy according to the rules of smile design and the “golden proportion” by incorporating ideal height to width ratio, contour, embrasure, and center midline. Due to the precise anatomical facial tooth contour of the templates, the final result will yield different thicknesses of composite (less toward the incisal third and gingival areas and greater in the middle of the facial surface). Because this varied thickness creates different effects and values, only one shade of composite is needed to achieve a natural gradient effect. However, multiple shades of composite can still be used depending on which technique is preferred.
