Digital Smile Design (DSD) can deliver a healthy and confident smile with perfection and predictability whether you seek porcelain veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening, orthodontic treatment, or any other cosmetic dental procedure.
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a planning tool for dental treatments and cosmetic procedures. It leverages digital tools like high-quality dental-portrait photography, videography and software to enhance diagnostic vision and deliver smile makeovers. The entire smile transformation process is digital and planned to improve oral health, function, and aesthetics. DSD Masters like Dr. Johnson are trained to visualize your dental and facial proportions.
Your Toronto cosmetic dentist can analyze your lips, gums, and teeth with state-of-the-art digital dentistry tools. Then, use these insights to create a customized dental treatment plan or cosmetic procedure to meet your physical and emotional needs. Dentists also use DSD to custom-build porcelain veneers and dental implants or simulate before and after results. It eliminates guesswork to help you make informed decisions and guarantee your satisfaction.
While many oral health providers and dental care services provide cosmetic dentistry, only digital or conventional planning offers predictable results. Why is this important for cosmetic dentistry? Well, your beautiful smile is unique and defines your identity. It combines physical attributes and emotional aspects to showcase your charming identity to the world. If you lose your front teeth, you’ll need DSD to restore your beautiful smile the way we can foresee. DSD considers all these factors and offers a plan for successful smile makeover treatments. It can recreate your authentic smile by showing you the result with unique wax-up and mock-up techniques.
Dentists use DSD for cosmetic dentistry procedures and medically necessary dental treatments. For example, Toronto Smile Design implements DSD for porcelain veneers, dental crowns, orthodontic treatments and dental implants. Dentists also use teeth whitening to support the treatments provided with DSD forehand porcelain crowns to restore perfect smiles.
Your Toronto dentist can use DSD to customize porcelain veneers, dental implants, and porcelain crowns to mimic your tooth’s natural properties. As a result, it can restore authentic and beautiful smiles. Here are the four steps of Toronto Smile Design’s DSD cosmetic dentistry procedure:
Step 1: Consultation
DSD enhances consultation and ensures you and your dentist work closely. You can raise your concerns and highlight your cosmetic needs. For example, your cosmetic dentist in Toronto will examine your mouth using CBCT images and intraoral Scans for dental implants. They will use impressions, videography, and photography to capture your teeth' unique features.
Step 2: Test-Drive Your Smile
The information is analyzed and applied to design a custom prototype of your new smile. Your dentist will use provisional materials to place the prototype in your mouth. You can test drive your smile with a before-and-after setup to see and feel the final smile transformation. It guarantees perfection and satisfaction before you proceeding to the next step. You can walk away if you don’t like the before-and-after smile makeover.
Step 3: Smile Makeover
Your cosmetic dentist will use your "Smile Design" to build customized restorations like porcelain veneers, orthodontic treatments or implants. Toronto Smile Design uses a state-of-the-art lab to fabricate a veneer, porcelain crown or implant crowns that mimics your tooth’s colour and natural light-reflecting properties. Then, your dentist will place the implant or porcelain veneer on your mouth for a final smile transformation according to the initial design.
You can find Digital Smile Design across Canada. However, dentists implement DSD in different ways. For example, some dental clinics don’t use fully digital DSD procedures. Also, there are three levels of DSD qualifications for cosmetic dentists.
Ø Member. General dentists attend hands-on courses and complete a DSD training course to become DSD Members. As a result, they have a foundational understanding of the DSD methodology.
Ø DSD Master. Cosmetic dentists with this qualification can apply DSD concepts and create dental treatment plans. DSD Members must pass several DSD methodology courses to get DSD Master Certification.
Ø DSD Instructor. It is the highest DSD qualification with only a handful of dentists. DSD Instructors like Dentist Dr. Johnson are masters in all aspects of DSD and passionate about sharing their expertise.
