4 might be easier than you think.
If you are having some major work done, duplicate models of the "wax workups"
are used in the process of making your temporary crowns/bridges. If that is what
you get, keep in mind that the "wax workup" is usually a quite bit bulkier to
allow for trimming and polishing of the temporaries. The temps are usually
bulkier for strength. The final product will be more refined.

FWIW, I've done a lot of diagnostic wax ups for a prosthodontist in the past. If
I recognized the name as someone that is famous or in the news, I've gone as far
as watching videos to improve on the information I can get from a hard model,
which I then use to customize the waxup.

What might you be having done?
