Digital Smile Design in Upland, CA
Preview Your Perfect Smile - Transform Your Smile with Confidence
At Empower Dental in Upland, we believe your smile makeover should be precise, predictable, and personal. That’s why we use Digital Smile Design (DSD)—a cutting-edge system that lets you preview your smile before any treatment begins. Whether you’re considering veneers, bonding, crowns, or a full smile makeover, DSD gives you the power to visualize the final result before we even touch your teeth.

What Is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design is an advanced imaging and design system that combines photography, video, and 3D software to plan your cosmetic treatment based on:
- Your facial features and proportions
- The natural shape of your lips and smile
- Your personality, lifestyle, and smile goals
Using high-resolution photos, digital scans, and smile analysis software, we craft a personalized digital mockup of your future smile—so you can see it, tweak it, and approve it before treatment even begins.
Why Patients Love Digital Smile Design
Preview Results Before Committing
No more guesswork. You’ll see a realistic simulation of how your smile will look—aligned, shaped, and whitened to your preferences.
Personalized for Your Face
DSD considers more than just your teeth. We design your smile to harmonize with your facial structure, lip line, and expressions for a naturally beautiful look.
Better Communication & Customization
You’ll work alongside our dental team to review your smile design and make adjustments based on what you love most.
Higher Accuracy, Less Guesswork
Using Intraoral Scanners (iTero, TRIOS, Medit) and CAD/CAM technology, we ensure your treatment matches the mockup you approved—down to the smallest detail.

How Does the Digital Smile Design Process Work
Smile analysis & consultation
We begin by understanding your goals. Are you hoping for a whiter smile? A more symmetrical look? We’ll take digital photos, scans, and video of your smile at rest and in motion.
Smile design & preview
Using Digital Smile Design Software, we map out your ideal smile and create a visual mockup. You’ll get to see it in high definition—often from multiple angles and in a video format that mimics how you speak and smile.
Adjustments & approval
You’ll work with us to fine-tune your smile before treatment begins. This is where artistry meets science—and where your input shapes the outcome.
Treatment planning & delivery
Once approved, we use CAD/CAM, 3D Printing, and Same Day CEREC Crown technology (when applicable) to carry out your smile transformation with accuracy and efficiency.
Who Is a Good Candidate for DSD
DSD is ideal for patients considering:
- Porcelain veneers
- Dental bonding
- Crowns or bridges
