WHAT IS DIGITAL SMILE DESIGN?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a comprehensive imaging and modeling protocol that improves dentist and patient communication in developing the treatment plan for a cosmetic dentistry procedure. Your aesthetic goals and feedback are important to us, and Digital Smile Design makes it possible for both elements to be an integral part of your treatment.
The Digital Smile Design process consists of the following steps:
- Step 1: Our team will take digital photos of your teeth and entire mouth from multiple angles.
- Step 2: You and Dr. Tara will review the photos using special software that allows us to begin demonstrating potential changes.
- Step 3: A simulation of your smile after treatment will be rendered in a “digital mock-up.”
- Step 4: Our team takes impressions of your teeth and Dr. Tara translates the digital design onto the physical model.
- Step 5: We will create a resin model to see how well the modeled treatments fit your teeth and your needs.
If you’re happy with this final mock-up, our cosmetic dentists will perform any necessary treatments according to the roadmap you and Dr. Tara developed through the Digital Smile Design process.
