Dental restoration procedures are commonly performed on patients across the globe. Many patients find themselves in need of restorative services as a result of injury, illness, or other issues that can impact their oral health and the appearance of their smiles. However, not all procedures offer the same results. Digital Smile Design (DSD) has taken the dental world by storm, offering better results and a more predictable outcome for each individual patient.

What Is Digital Smile Design?

DSD is a unique dental treatment planning tool that strengthens a dental provider’s diagnostic vision, enhances predictability, and improves communication between dental providers and their patients. A treatment plan is completely based on a thorough analysis of the patient’s dental and facial proportions. Through the use of videos, photographs, and temporary mock-ups, DSD providers can get a better sense of the relationship between the lips, gums, and teeth, as well as how they work together to create the patient’s smile.

Along with the physical aspects, DSD providers will also look at the emotional needs of the patient and how they react in certain situations. These factors can impact the treatment plan, as emotions are important to creating the physical way to express those reactions. When you choose to embark on a DSD journey, you’ll work closely with a provider who is more than just a dentist. In fact, those accepted into the group of DSD providers have artistic vision, which is necessary to create beautiful smiles, as well as the experience needed to give you a positive outcome.
