Every DSD assessment begins with a careful look at your facial and dental characteristics. After all, it’s not just the teeth that make up an attractive appearance. The eyes, nose, cheeks, and lips should be taken into consideration as well. All elements work together harmoniously for a functional, healthy, beautiful smile.
We will take photos, videos, and x-rays of your teeth and surrounding orofacial structures. Once all information is gathered, the data is imported into our advanced computer software program.
Next, your dentist will cycle through options in the digital library. This includes a wide range of virtual restorations in varying shapes and colours. These elements can then be placed over photos of your smile, offering a quick glimpse into what results you can expect following treatment.
In addition to showcasing your potential treatment results, DSD can create a 3-D rendering of your entire dentition. These models can be used to fabricate a number of restorations and appliances, including crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, and mouth guards.
Patients are involved in the DSD process from start to finish. During the consultation, it’s important that you discuss your goals and preferences with your dentist. What do you like about your smile? What do you wish to change? What are your long-term goals? Answering these questions gives us a deeper understanding of your goals so we can help you achieve the smile you desire.
Following a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health, we’ll start building a treatment plan that incorporates your dental needs and treatment goals while allowing your personality to shine through.
