Digital Smile Design

The Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a treatment planning method that employs advanced videography and digital technology to thoroughly assess the patient's facial and dental features. Currently, the DSD Concept is widely regarded as the cutting-edge, patient-focused design approach.

Digital Smile Design takes into account various factors such as personality, facial features, dental analysis, and treatment objectives. This design is then translated into a treatment plan that harmoniously incorporates biology, structure, and function to ensure long-lasting results. To facilitate the design process, we use videos, photography, X-rays, and 3D imagery. This enables us to create simulated before-and-after videos for each patient, allowing them to envision the outcome of their treatment prior to its commencement.

We prioritize visual communication with our patients, presenting them with a simplified and easily understandable depiction of the final result and how they would appear after the treatment.

Digital Smile Design (DSD)is important in various cosmetic dentistry treatments, including porcelain veneers, composite veneers, teeth whitening, as well as more intricate procedures like orthodontics and dental implants. Moreover, DSD proves beneficial in addressing a diverse array of dental issues, ranging from misaligned teeth to gaps and discoloration.

One of the key benefits of this approach is its ability to provide the dentist with a preview of the final results prior to commencing any treatment. This enables the dentist to assess and refine the design, ensuring that the patient's satisfaction with the outcome is guaranteed.

To begin, your dentist will engage in a comprehensive discussion with you to understand your treatment objectives. During this initial appointment, your dentist will also take the opportunity to familiarize themselves with your dental history and build a rapport. Next, a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums will be conducted. This examination may involve the use of X-rays, digital photos, and potentially an intraoral scanner to obtain a detailed assessment of your smile.

Following the examination, a personalized treatment plan will be meticulously crafted, taking into account the unique characteristics of your smile. Lastly, your dentist will review the cost of the proposed treatment and address any inquiries or concerns you may have.
