At our clinic, through Digital Smile Design, you can take an active part in creating your perfect smile!

What is Digital Smile Design?

Digital Smile Design is an innovative cosmetic dentistry technique that uses dedicated software to analyse and design a patient’s smile.

Photos and videos of the teeth taken from different angles are entered into the computer, and the software suggests possible options for reshaping. The patient can request adjustments and see in advance what the final smile will look like thanks to this simulation.

The procedure aims to help the dentist plan the new design, and also to give people confidence that the final result will be the one they want.

So, if you were afraid of getting veneers, implants or dental crowns because you didn’t know whether they would look the way you want, Digital Smile Design is the perfect solution for you!

The Digital Smile Design procedure

Digital Smile Design is a simple, painless and non-invasive procedure. All you have to do is sit in the dentist’s chair, and digital technology designs your ideal smile.

Here are the steps you can expect:

Step 1: Initial consultation

The dentist will examine your teeth and discuss with you the results you want, your preferences and the option you choose (dental veneers, crowns, implants, etc.).

Step 2: Photography

Intraoral and facial photos and videos will be taken from several angles, using a scanner. These will be uploaded into the software for analysis.

Step 3: The simulation

Based on the uploaded images, the software will generate a 3D image of the ideal smile, proposing feasible solutions according to the patient’s requirements. You can make any changes you wish to the digital prototype.

Step 4: The mock-up

Based on your data, the dental technician prepares a model for restoring your teeth, either 3D-printed or cast in a special wax. From this, a mock-up is designed that you can try on to see how it feels. It can be modified if something bothers you or you want your smile to look different.

Step 5: The cosmetic procedure

Only after you have approved the design and are sure that everything will turn out the way you want can the dentist begin the aesthetic procedures you have chosen.

Who can benefit from Digital Smile Design?

You should bear in mind that not everyone can benefit from this procedure, for example if you have teeth with advanced decay or gum disease.

Digital Smile Design is for you:

  • If you have healthy teeth and gums.
  • If you have realistic expectations of the treatment.

People who have had previous dental treatment can also turn to this modern technique, but the changes are limited by the existing restorations.

No. Digital Smile Design causes no pain or discomfort; the patient only has to move their head and mouth for the photos and scanning.

Once the process is fully complete and your smile is the one you wanted, you need to take care of your oral hygiene! We recommend: daily brushing, using dental floss and mouthwash, and regular dental check-ups.

This technique carries no risk; the disadvantages that arise are directly related to the tools used.

  • It requires modern equipment and trained dentists.
  • It is dependent on technology.

Yes, in the early stages of the process you have the opportunity to reconsider your decisions about your smile. The dentist will begin the final restoration procedures only once you have given your approval.
