The unique, minimally invasive Uveneer direct composite template system creates beautiful composite veneers with predictable shape and symmetry. It mimics natural dentition and is designed to create high-quality, natural-looking anterior restorations in just one visit. Uveneer templates use innovative technologies that help achieve a refined, anatomically correct, high-gloss restoration in a fraction of the time than if done freehand. Results are both reproducible and predictable, making your anterior restorations faster and more cost effective.
Uveneer direct composite templates make it easy to create beautiful veneers for every patient, every time. Their unique templated design allows you to create high-quality anterior restorations, require minimal adjusting or polishing, and are faster than sculpting each restoration by hand. They can also be used for cosmetic mock-ups and shade selections, as well as temporary veneers during porcelain veneer creation. They can be used on individual or multiple teeth and are autoclavable* so they can be used again and again. The ease and speed of the Uveneer template system will enhance the efficiency of any practice.
*Base in which templates arrive is not autoclavable, rather only the templates themselves. Do NOT autoclave the base.
Each template is designed to mimic ideal tooth anatomy according to the rules of smile design and the "golden proportion." Each template incorporates ideal height to width ratio, contour, embrasure, and center midline—resulting in beautiful symmetry every time.
Due to this precise anatomical contour, 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). This varied thickness of material creates different effects and values, and as a result, only one shade of composite is needed in many cases to get a natural gradient effect.

This innovative design works with any light-cured composite resin. Uveneer templates also leave a finished glossy and contoured surface by preventing an oxygen inhibition layer from forming during the curing process. Each template has also been treated with a nonstick coating that allows them to easily release from the cured composite during the procedure.
The full Uveneer template system kit features 32 templates in total, including both large and medium sizes. Each arch consists of eight templates from centrals to premolars (bicuspids). Each Uveneer template is numbered to correspond with tooth number, tooth size, and upper or lower arch to assist in correct replacement.
Individual replacement templates are also available; please call our customer service department at 888.230.1420 to order.
The Uveneer template system is the only template system designed to create beautiful direct composite veneers in one visit and is exclusive to Ultradent. With Uveneer and Uveneer Extra templates, clinicians can create veneers with predictable shape and symmetry every time, for every patient.

This patient who was embarrassed of his teeth and disliked using a removable partial denture, or flipper, had this to say about the restorative work done using Uveneer: "I'm very pleased with the results and can't tell you how much I do not miss wearing a flipper. I'm smiling much wider these days and thankful that a procedure like this can give me (or anyone in this position) some time to figure out the ideal and permanent solution [for] a smile."

See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.
Choose Mosaic™ universal composite or preferred composite shade(s). Select the template that corresponds with the tooth being restored. See handle of template for corresponding tooth number, size, and arch.
Remove all caries if needed and minimally prepare the tooth.
Place interproximal separating matrices and apply Ultra-Etch™ etchant, Peak™ SE Primer, or preferred etch.
Rinse etch according to manufacturer’s instructions. Do not rinse if using Peak SE Primer.
Apply Peak™ Universal Bond adhesive or preferred adhesive to tooth surface.
Light cure with VALO™ curing light 1 x 10 seconds on Standard Power. If using other curing light, cure according to manufacturer instructions.
Apply Mosaic universal composite or preferred composite directly onto tooth.
Do not light cure composite.
Select chosen Uveneer template. Template should ideally cover the entire facial surface of the tooth. If not, additional composite may be used at the periphery to compensate.
Align centerline of template parallel to the midline of the face and perpendicular to the incisal plane. Using thumb, press the concave side of the selected template onto the tooth. Press firmly to remove any trapped air.
Remove any excess composite from the periphery.
Using VALO curing light, cure composite through template. For every 2mm layer, cure 1–2 x 10 seconds on Standard Power, 1–2 x 4 seconds on High Power, or 1–2 x 3 seconds on Xtra Power. If using other curing light, cure according to manufacturer instructions.
Remove the Uveneer template by gently lifting the handle. Using VALO curing light do final cure directly onto composite. To ensure composite is cured thoroughly, for every 2mm layer, cure 3 x 10 seconds on Standard Power, 3 x 4 seconds on High Power, or 3 x 3 seconds on Xtra Power. If using other curing light, cure according to manufacturer instructions.
Avoiding the glossy facial surface, trim excess composite from periphery with a fine flameshaped bur in Jiffy™ Composite Finishing Bur Kit. Use Jiffy™ Composite Polishers, Brushes, Diamond Strips, or Proximal Saws for minimal finishing and adjusting if desired.
Immediately after use, thoroughly wipe template with alcohol pad, dry, bag, and autoclave according to Uveneer template IFU. Do not leave any composite residue on the template in order to maintain translucency and shine.
"Terrific tool to quickly and easily create beautiful anterior restorations."

"In a single day, I was able to do 11 mock up veneers that were not part of the original schedule, resulting in several new cases being accepted. I wouldn’t want to work without Uveneer now."
