How the Digital Smile Design Process Works
With Digital Smile Design, you don’t just imagine your new smile—you help create it, preview it, and move forward with total confidence.
Smile analysis & consultation
We discuss your goals—brightness, symmetry, alignment—while capturing calibrated photos, video, and digital scans to record your smile at rest and in motion.
Smile design & preview
Advanced DSD software maps tooth shapes to your facial references, then generates a lifelike digital mockup (and video preview) of your future smile.
Adjustments & approval
Together, we fine-tune tooth shape, length, and shade until you’re fully satisfied.
Treatment planning & delivery
Once approved, we use CAD/CAM and 3D printing—often with same-day CEREC when appropriate—to deliver your new smile with precision.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Digital Smile Design?
DSD is perfect for anyone considering cosmetic or restorative treatment who wants clarity and confidence before starting. It’s especially useful for:
- Porcelain veneers – Preview enhanced shape, symmetry, and shade.
- Dental bonding – Visualize subtle improvements to chips, edges, or gaps.
- Crowns or bridges – See how new restorations will blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
- Orthodontics – Understand how aligners or braces can improve alignment and esthetics.
- Full smile makeovers – Plan and preview complex transformations with confidence.
