Digital Smile Design

Digital Smile Design

Are you considering cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of your smile? Interested in knowing what your smile may look like before you take the plunge?

At  Boutique for Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand the important role your smile plays in your daily life and are proud to be one of the few offices in the Atlanta area to offer digital smile design.

The Digital Smile Design Process

The entire process for Digital Smile Design is actually quite simple. Our dental office in Atlanta, GA will first take 3D photos and videos of your entire mouth utilizing intraoral scanners. The data is then imported into our design software. Once imported, we are then able to modify and perfect the appearance of your smile. We will also take a series of photographs and videos of you talking, smiling, and laughing to assist us in our design.

With our guidance, you will be the co-author of your smile! We invite you to be involved in the smile design process.

We Offer Same Day Appointments

Have Questions?

  • What if I don’t like the way my teeth look like in the mock-up?
    The mockup is used to gather information on where we could go with your teeth, it is not the final teeth. So, the mockup is used to guide the patient and the dentist to formulate a good result. Changes can be made, and this is the time to make changes before anything permanent is done.
  • How should I prepare for the first digital smile design consultation?
    Come prepared with your goals and expectations for the dentist and a face ready for some photos!
  • Can any dentist provide digital smile design?
    Not every dentist can provide digital smile design or DSD. Dentists trained with digital smile design techniques are best for providing digital smile design.
  • What is Digital Smile Design?
    Digital Smile Design, or DSD, is planning a patient's smile makeover digitally. It combines principles of esthetics, facial analysis, and computer technology to create a customized treatment plan that can be visually communicated to the patient.

How does Digital Smile Design work?

Digital Smile Design uses six steps to get you to your desired smile:

  1. Treatment begins with the dentist capturing digital photographs of your teeth and smile as you are now.
  2. A video is then taken of you smiling and talking to show how your smile and speech affects the appearance of your teeth. Seeing yourself from this new angle will help you to decide on the right results.
  3. Smile design analysis is then carried out with the end product in mind. Different solutions from dentistry will be combined to determine the best cosmetic journey to get your desired smile, and ceramists, dental technicians and specialists will all advise on the treatments that can get you there.
  4. You will then be shown how your final smile will look and mockups will be made to show you the final outcome. You can then make any final tweaks to elements such as tooth length or color and shape.
  5. The final design is then completed and agreed and costs and duration are calculated to ensure you are happy to proceed. You will then be provided with all of the relevant information you need to know about the pending treatments.
  6. After treatment, you can enjoy predictable results and will be able to enjoy the smile that you chose in the planning stage.
