Digital smile design (DSD) is a dental treatment involving the latest techniques in digital 3D imaging and computer-aided design – computer-aided manufacturer (CAD-CAM) dentistry to create a perfect smile.
At Thousand Smiles, we use this technology to analyse facial and dental structures with the latest dental technology and a customised design to improve your smile and correct dental issues.
DSD allows you to see the result of your dental procedure before undergoing the treatment. Everyone’s smile is unique, and a perfect smile involves more than the teeth. While we design your improved smile, we will consider your teeth, lips, mouth movement and overall facial structure.
Digital smile design is flexible, and we can incorporate it into many restorative and cosmetic dental treatments. If the procedure requires making changes to your smile, we can use the digital smile design to allow you to see your new smile before you proceed with the treatment.
DSD is useful for
Our dental professional will take your comprehensive digital record to create your new smile on your first appointment. Our dentist will also make short videos and take several photographs of your while smiling and when your face is resting.
While capturing your face and smile, you need to show your personality and smile because everyone has different facial expressions while speaking. The dentist will need to record your unique mouth movements while you talk and laugh.
Digital smile design improves the appearance of your smile and ensures it matches your face. DSD prevents you from dealing with mismatched or overly large teeth, and people will not readily notice you’ve had dental work.
Besides taking photographs and short videos of your smile, the dentist will take an intraoral scan of the teeth to ensure the smile changes are accurate.Your other dental treatments will rely on the dental professional’s skills and expertise to give you a more visually appealing smile. Our laboratory technician will try recreating your teeth impression manually, so it’s almost impossible to make an error-free design. However, our new manufacturing and digital technology design ensure the highest level of precision for a perfectly fitting restoration.
The manual design process and DSD have a clear difference, and DSD has the huge advantage of showing you the result of the treatment beforehand.
