Planning a smile makeover can feel like a leap of faith when all you have is a verbal description of the result. Digital smile design changes that. Using photos, video, and a 3D scan of your teeth, we build a digital plan that shows how your new smile may look with your face, lips, and natural features before any tooth is changed.
At Empower Dental Rancho, digital smile design is part of our cosmetic dentistry planning for veneers, bonding, whitening, aligners, and larger restorative cases. Our dentists practice as Super GPs, and our in-house MD3 Lab works from the same digital plan, which helps keep your design consistent from the first preview to the final result.
A design consultation gives you time to review your preview, ask questions, and request changes while everything is still digital.
Bring photos of smiles you like, and we’ll talk about what fits your face, goals, and budget.
We’re located at 9275 Baseline Rd. in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Call to schedule your appointment or book online.
Digital smile design is a planning method that uses facial photographs, short videos, and intraoral scans to map how your teeth relate to your lips, gumline, and facial midline. Instead of designing teeth in isolation, we shape the proposed smile around the proportions of your face so the plan looks like it belongs to you.
Once a design is ready, it becomes the guide for each treatment step and for the final restorations. In many cases this shared reference cuts down on surprises and helps every step of treatment stay on target. If veneers are part of your plan, the American Dental Association’s MouthHealthy guide to veneers is a helpful place to start reading.
A clear visual plan helps you make confident decisions about cosmetic and restorative care.
Review a digital preview of your proposed smile before any tooth preparation.
Tooth length, width, and shape are planned to suit your lips, midline, and smile line.
You can point to what you like, ask for changes, and agree on a goal with your dentist.
The approved design guides each phase, which may reduce adjustments later.

Digital smile design may be a good fit if you want to change how your smile looks and would like to see a plan first. It is often helpful for patients who have:
Healthy teeth and gums come first. If we find decay or gum disease during your exam, we’ll treat those concerns before cosmetic work begins.
Consultation and Goals. We talk about what you would like to change and review your dental and medical history.
Photos, Video, and 3D Scans. We capture facial and smile photos, a short video of you speaking and smiling, and a digital scan of your teeth in place of messy impressions.
Design and Preview. Your dentist builds a proposed smile on screen and shares the preview with you. You can ask questions and request changes before we move forward.
Refine and Treat. Once you approve the design, it guides each treatment step, and our in-house lab uses it to craft restorations that match the plan.
You can explore finished cases in our smile gallery for ideas, then bring them to your consultation.
The cost of a smile makeover depends on which treatments your design includes and how many teeth are involved. Cosmetic services are often not covered by dental insurance, though restorative parts of a plan may be. We accept all PPO plans in network, along with HSA and FSA. For costs your plan does not cover, financing is available through Alphaeon and Happen Bank, subject to approval. Learn more on our financing and insurance page.
If you have been thinking about changing your smile but want to see the result first, a design consultation is a simple place to begin. Contact Empower Dental Rancho to schedule your visit.
