Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing provisional veneers for human teeth. An impression matrix of the teeth-receiving provisional veneers is created and the teeth prepared by removal of the enamel to an appropriate depth. The impression matrix is then trimmed to expose the cervical portion of the prepared teeth. The shells of the impression matrix corresponding to each of the prepared teeth are filled with a flowable composite resin and the filled impression matrix is seated over the prepared teeth. The excess flowable composite resin is removed from the cervical portion of the prepared teeth and the remaining flowable composite resin is cured to form the incisal portion of the provisional veneers. The cervical portion of the provisional veneers is then free-form sculpted by applying a sculptable composite resin to the prepared teeth, then curing the sculptable composite resin. The provisional veneers are then fine-finished and polished.
