Digital Smile Design: How To Get Your Dream Smile

It’s common for people to dislike elements of their smile. This might be the colour, shape, proportion, or straightness of your teeth. You may have damaged or missing teeth, gaps, or crowding. For many people, it’s a combination of several issues. 

Many cosmetic treatments address specific things you dislike about your smile. But when you’re faced with multiple problems you’d like to change, it can feel overwhelming. Which treatment should you get first? How many procedures will it take? How much will it cost?

We understand these concerns. That’s why we use digital smile design to create custom treatment plans that fix all of your dental imperfections. 

In this article, we’ll take a look at how you can get your dream smile with our digital smile design and makeover services. 

What Is Digital Smile Design?

Digital smile design draws on technology to create a bespoke treatment plan that transforms your smile. Using a combination of digital scans, photography, and video coupled with powerful design software, we can map and tailor every detail of your treatment and provide an accurate visualisation of the outcomes. 

Often, it’s difficult to imagine how your smile might look after a certain treatment. However, because of the accuracy of the digital smile design approach, we can show you images of your future smile that will motivate you to receive those treatments. 

In certain circumstances, having this clear vision of your new smile in mind can help you remain committed to adhering to aspects of your makeover. For example, Invisalign’s success partly relies on your adherence to the treatment plan. 

What Can a Smile Makeover Include?

Your digital smile design journey is tailored to your needs. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss the aspects of your smile you’re unhappy about. This information will help inform the treatment plan. 

Smile makeovers can help with many issues, often simultaneously. Your treatment plan might draw on one, two, or several of our most popular services, including:

  • Teeth whitening to remove stains and discolouration
  • Composite bonding or veneers to repair and reshape teeth
  • Invisalign clear aligner treatment to straighten teeth, reduce crowding, and close gaps
  • Crowns to restore broken teeth
  • Bridges or implants to replace missing teeth

What Are the Benefits of Digital Smile Design?

Digital smile design accurately informs the treatment process. This is beneficial not only to us as dentists but also creates better outcomes for you. 

The digital design process gives us full control over your treatment while allowing us to map potential routes to the results you want. This helps us create a smile that meets and exceeds your expectations. 

Having the ability to show you the journey we’ll take together gives you a better understanding of the process. Having the option to provide such clear information enhances communication, which makes you feel more confident and comfortable with your treatment. 

Using digital design technology, we can create bespoke makeover plans that reimagine your smile ahead of a major life event like your wedding day. Whatever your motivation for making the change, you’ll enjoy the confidence lift a custom makeover provides. 

Although digital smile designs and makeovers tackle many cosmetic issues, some changes also have health benefits. For instance, repairing damaged teeth reduces the risk of infection, and straightening teeth helps fight tooth decay and gum disease and solves jaw problems. 

What Will Happen During the Digital Smile Design Process?

The first step in designing your new smile is to discuss what you dislike about your teeth and gums. We’ll then physically examine your smile before uploading scans and visuals to the software. 

Once we’ve gathered all the information, we can refine your treatment plan and discuss the steps ahead. At this stage, we can discuss costs and finance options and answer any questions you may have. 

The next step is to create your new smile. This could involve several treatments. We’ll plan these around each other to ensure the best outcomes for you.

Treatment lengths will vary depending on which treatments are included in your makeover. We’ll give you an indication of what to expect after your initial consultation.
