Digital Smile Design is a planning tool, not a treatment. From a few photographs and videos, the proposed shape and position of the teeth are simulated on your own face, so you can see and approve the plan before anything is done. The laboratory then reproduces what you approved.
Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design is a planning tool, not a treatment. It lets you see a proposed result before any work is done.
From a few photographs and a short video, the shape, size and position of the teeth are simulated on your own face. You see the plan on screen, and nothing proceeds until you approve it.
Why It Is Useful
- You see the plan before a tooth is touched.
- You can ask for changes at the design stage, when changes are free.
- The laboratory works to the design you approved, not to an assumption.
- It makes clear how much tooth structure would need to be removed.
How It Works
We take photographs and a video of you talking and smiling, plus a digital scan of your teeth.
The proposed design is simulated on your own face and shown to you on screen. Once you approve it, a trial can be made so you see the shape in your mouth before the final work is made.
What It Is Not
A simulation is a plan, not a promise. What is achievable depends on your bone, gums, bite and how much healthy tooth structure you have.
We will tell you where the plan has to change for clinical reasons — and we treat any decay, gum disease or bite problem before cosmetic work begins.
