Digital Smile Design

The Future of Dentistry: Digital Smile Design

Digital Smile Design is a method of digitally designing our patients’ smiles by allowing simulation and pre-visualization of the therapeutic result to be achieved.

Just as when building or renovating a house, the architect needs to create a design that allows the client to visualize the final result from the very beginning—through drawings and 3D renderings—and that then serves as a guide for planning the work itself; We can say today that even within a dental practice there is a need for an “architect” of the work—specifically called a “smile designer”—who designs, sketches the smile for our patients on paper, thereby giving patients themselves a realistic preview of the final outcome of their treatment, while also providing the various specialists on the dental team—including the orthodontist, periodontist, implantologist, and restorative dentist— the opportunity to work in synergy toward a shared goal—which is exclusively the dream smile for which the patient has turned to us and in pursuit of which they have given us the mandate and consent for treatment.

A Custom Smile

Patients often find themselves at the dentist’s office and undergo dental procedures or treatments immediately, without the dentist having properly planned and shared with the patient a personalized treatment plan for their smile.

Digital Smile Design allows patients, on the one hand, to be fully informed about their treatment plan from the very beginning and to take the lead in the aesthetic and functional restoration of their mouth; and, on the other hand, it enables the specialist to better align with the patient’s expectations and needs in order to pursue shared goals.
