What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design evaluates not only teeth but also surrounding tissues and face. It is based on showing the result to the patient before treatment begins. This method prevents surprises by ensuring coordination between the patient and technician. It allows the patient to “test drive” their new smile, so to speak.
Combining with new concepts such as visagism provides the patient with the most appropriate appearance for their face and psychosocial condition. After your studio-quality photos and videos are taken for digital smile design, these data are studied. In the end, your results are shared with you before any treatment starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Details Should Be Considered?
Patient satisfaction is prioritised from the first step. Before starting treatment, the patient is interviewed in detail. A plan is made accordingly and treatment begins. While designing the smile, attention is paid to lip structure, length of the teeth, gum features, and the harmony of the lips and teeth.
Is Face Shape Important for Smile Design?
Yes, face shape is very important. Teeth are a whole with face and smile. To have this integrity, tooth structure and face shape must be in harmony. For example, while women tend to have more delicate oval teeth, more angular teeth are made for men.
