What is Digital Smile Design?

Everyone has a unique set of teeth. In fact, your teeth are as unique as your fingerprints. Digital Smile Design is based on analyzing your facial and dental proportions by using a set of photos and videos to discover the relationship between your gums, lips, smile and teeth while they are in motion. It also registers your emotions as well.

Digital Smile Design allows you to be involved in the restoration and smile enhancement process and share your objectives and express your desires with us, all with the goal of providing you with a natural and beautiful smile. DSD is an opportunity to harmonize your physical characteristics to better reflect your own personality. It allows a thorough study of your dental and facial proportions.

There is another aspect of this new technology that goes beyond the physical aspects. That is, Digital Smile Design can also examine your emotional reactions and how you react in specific situations. It all informs us about you and your personality, which influences your treatment plan because emotions play an important role in how you physically express yourself.

Building your Smile

What kind of smile are you looking for? What type of smile represents you?

Smiles can be a powerful representation of who we are, including attractive, confident and trustworthy. Yet, our facial shape may not match our true personality. The first step is to define what type of character best reflects who you are based on your physical features.

There are four kinds of shapes: oval represents leaderships, bravery and passion, rectangular describes a more extrovert and impulsive personality, square suggests a calm and diplomatic individual, and triangular illustrates someone who is organized, introverted and artistic.

The next step is choosing the shape of your teeth, which includes choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic, and sanguine. The changes to your tooth alignment, color, shape and size all add up to a more specific impression, along with the shape and size of your mouth and lips.

So, which smile will best represent your authentic self?

How does Digital Smile Design work?

The first step is taking three-dimensional pictures of your facial expression using DSD camera and state-of-the-art videography to calibrate your image by imprinting the position of the left and right distal of your central incisors and incisal edge. In other words, we take photos of every angle of your mouth.

The key is to determine the position of your smile to the coveted position that you desire. This allows us to choose the ratio proportion of your teeth by inspecting your facial structure. We then select the shapes and colors and make adjustments as needed.

We employ a stamp, blemish, and whitening tool to polish your image. The final design is shared with you, including a before and after photo that will help to implement your new smile.

With our 3D imaging software, we can shape and position your new teeth in a virtual way (unlike anything you’ve experienced at a dental office before) and create a mockup of your prototype smile for you.
