A device is provided for facilitating the proper seating of a template onto teeth of a patient for a dental procedure. The template can conform to the teeth of the patient. The template can define at least one upper part which can correspond to a characteristic part of the teeth of the patient. The template can have at least one aperture disposed through the upper part of the template. The aperture can be sized and configured such that the characteristic part of the teeth can emerge at least partially through the aperture when the template is fitted onto the teeth of the patient. The emergence of the characteristic part of the teeth of the patient can thereby provide a visual indication that the device has been properly seated onto the teeth of the patient.
