Digital Smile Design
Experience the future of cosmetic dentistry with our state-of-the-art Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology. Transform your smile with precision, confidence, and predictability
What Is Digital Smile Design (DSD)?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a cutting-edge technology that allows dentists to preview your ideal smile digitally. Before making any physical changes to your mouth, you can try on a 3D mock-up, share photos and videos with loved ones, co-design your smile, and suggest changes. A treatment plan is then created based on accurate digital data and your feedback.
Our Smile Design Dental Clinic
At Mona Vale Dental, we pride ourselves on being a certified DSD clinic, ensuring our patients benefit from industry-leading technology and best-practice protocols.
How Does DSD Work?
We capture photographs and videos to design a smile based on your facial proportions, teeth, gums, and lips. Your new smile is digitally designed around your individual facial proportions. You can adjust the design, take it home, and gather opinions from those who know you best. We then tailor a treatment plan that delivers the exact result you desire.
Test Drive Your Smile Makeover
Our Smile Test Drive puts you in the driver’s seat. Experience the full impact of a smile makeover without undergoing any dental work first. This complimentary consultation lets you preview your new smile and make informed decisions about your treatment. Using 3D-printing technology, we print a mock-up of your new smile, allowing you to see and feel the transformation.
What Can DSD Do for You?
DSD offers a unique opportunity to visualise and experience your new smile before undergoing any treatment. It empowers you to co-design your smile, ensuring the end result is as individual and natural as you are.
What Treatments Are Performed Using DSD?
Digital Smile Design can be applied to everything from simple cosmetic procedures to full mouth reconstructions. This includes veneers, crowns, invisalign, Implants, and tooth whitening.
