Digital Smile Design
When it comes to teeth, people nowadays have higher aesthetic ideals than they used to. That’s understandable because a beautiful smile helps you feel good about yourself. Not surprisingly, the demand for aesthetic dentistry has increased enormously in recent years.
Many people are dissatisfied with their teeth but are unsure about the options available to improve them. Or they may be hesitant to embark on aesthetic treatment because they are not sure how successful the outcome will be.
With Digital Smile Design you can see how your new smile will look, without undergoing any procedures whatsoever.
What is Digital Smile Design (DSD)?
Digital Smile Design is a digital tool with which the dentist can improve a patient’s smile by manipulating digital photographs. The patient’s personal wishes for their new and enhanced smile are leading when it comes to the design choices. Your teeth, lips and facial structure are digitally analysed to create the ideal smile. Before performing any actual procedures you can try out your ideal smile in your own mouth using a custom-made ‘try-in’.
What should I expect from a Digital Smile Design procedure?
- STEP 1 – INTAKE AND PHOTO SESSIONDuring the intake appointment the dentist will examine your teeth, listen closely to what your preferences and expectations are and answer any questions you may have. Finally photographs are taken of your teeth and facial structure.
- STEP 2 – DIGITAL SMILE DESIGNUsing the specialised DSD software, the dentist will analyse your face, taking note of the structure and the distance ratio of your teeth, gums, face and smile. With that information, the dentist will create a Smile Design of your ideal smile. This means the dentist can show you how your ideal smile will look without having to actually perform any procedures! If you are satisfied with the Smile Design, we go on to discuss how it can best be achieved.
- STEP 3 – WAX UPA dental technician creates a 'wax-up' using the Smile Design, combining it with photographs and facial analysis to achieve an even more accurate preview of the end result.
- STEP 4 – TRY INUsing the Smile Design, a dental technician prepares a 'try-in'. By combining the 'try-in' with photographs and facial analysis, an even more accurate preview of the end result can be achieved.
- STEP 5 – TREATMENT PLANYou will receive a treatment plan explaining the required procedures, the time frame for scheduling the procedures and what they will cost. If you agree, we will start with the treatments.
- STEP 6 – AESTHETIC PROCEDURES (if you agree with the treatment plan)How many appointments are required and what the time frame for the procedures will be, depends on your personal dental circumstances. In the treatment plan that you received (step 5) all procedures and a time frame are explained in detail.
- STEP 7 – PHOTO SESSION IDEAL SMILEWhen treatment has been successfully completed, the dentist will perform a final check of the result. Optionally, you can request another photo session by your dentist so that you can proudly share ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs with your friends and family.
