Review – Confidence in Every Prep

There’s a moment every clinician knows too well: you’ve just finished a preparation, the patient is still in the chair, and the question lingers — “Is this ready for the lab?”

Traditionally, the answer comes days later, once feedback trickles in from the technician. Sometimes it means reappointments, adjustments, or last-minute compromises. But what if you could check your prep in real time, before the patient leaves the chair?

That’s exactly what Smilecloud Review was built for.

From Guesswork to Precision

Prep check is one of those crucial but time-sensitive steps in restorative dentistry. Too much reduction, and you risk compromising tooth structure. Too little, and your technician won’t have the space they need to deliver an esthetic, durable restoration.

Smilecloud Review turns this challenge into a clear, measurable process. By overlaying scans with functional designs and activating the 3D heatmap, you can see — instantly — whether your prep provides the required clearance.

Instead of relying on “feel” or waiting for lab feedback, you now have objective data in real time.

How Prep Check Works with Review

• Upload and compare your pre-op scan with the lab’s proposed design.
• Activate the heatmap to visualize material thickness across the prep.
• Set your parameters (for example, 400 microns for ceramics) to match the requirements of your restoration.
• Spot under-prepped areas instantly, correct them while the patient is still present, and move forward with confidence.

What used to be days of waiting becomes a 5-minute check.

Why This Matters

The value of Review during prep check goes beyond convenience — it reshapes the way you work:

• Fewer reappointments – Correct under-preps on the spot, saving patients and your team valuable time.
• Improved lab communication – No more vague notes or back-and-forths; you’re sending preps that are already validated.
• Higher restoration success rates – Meet your technician’s space requirements consistently, ensuring both esthetics and strength.
• Greater chairside confidence – Make decisions backed by data, not guesswork.

It’s a tool that doesn’t just check your prep — it raises your standard of care.

Real-World Impact

Picture this: You’re preparing a veneer case. Normally, you’d take the final impression, send it to the lab, and wait. If the prep isn’t sufficient, you’ll only hear about it days later, meaning the patient has to come back.

With Smilecloud Review, you simply overlay the lab’s functional design, activate the heatmap, and confirm clearance right then and there. If adjustments are needed, you make them immediately. The patient leaves knowing their case is on track, and the lab receives data they can work with confidently.

No surprises. No wasted time. Just smooth, predictable workflows.

A New Standard in Prep Evaluation

Smilecloud Review isn’t just a nice-to-have. For clinicians focused on efficiency, precision, and communication, it’s becoming an essential part of daily practice.

By turning prep check into a visual, measurable, and collaborative step, Review ensures that your cases move forward without unnecessary interruptions — and with the quality you’re proud to stand behind.

✨ With Smilecloud Review, prep check isn’t an afterthought. It’s a moment of certainty.
