​What do you do when your smile makes you unhappy? We feel happier and a lot more confident when we smile, and we exude a kind of positivity. So when we're unhappy with our smile, we smile less often and it can actually begin to affect our confidence and mood.

A Cosmetic Procedure That Enhances Your Smile

When you deal with a smile you're less than happy with, it becomes difficult to smile when you are meeting new people, taking pictures or even talking to others. And that's where the concept of Digital Smile Design (DSD) comes in. DSD is a new multipurpose dental treatment procedure that's loaded with benefits and greater advantages compared to other treatment options.

It usually begins with an advanced digital diagnosis of the various issues with the structural components of your mouth, along with the jaw. Then there's an intraoral and extraoral evaluation to assess the aesthetics of your dentition and your smile and mouth in general.

DSD High-Tech Image and 3D Modeling

The treatment uses digital technology to diagnose issues and predict very accurate results, making it easier to stick with the treatment plan - and leaving less room for surprises along the way. The process also allows patients to determine their wants and needs from the restorative procedure right from the beginning. The result is the Digital Smile Design concept significantly increases your likelihood of satisfaction with your results.

With Digital Smile Design, the patient's mouth gets visualized with the use of high-tech imaging and 3D modeling. It also involves working with a specialized smile designer who creates the model of your mouth so you can see what the outcome would look like.

Not Available Everywhere - Yet

The DSD treatment is not available everywhere yet. As of this moment, it's a relatively new technology, but many dentists are eager to see it nationwide soon.
