Digital Smile Design
Transform your smile with precision, confidence, and predictability.
What Is Digital Smile Design (DSD)?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a cutting-edge way to design your ideal smile using advanced technology. We use detailed scans, photos, and videos of your teeth and face to create a smile that fits you perfectly and suits your unique features. You get to see a preview of your new smile and try on a mock-up over your teeth. This helps you see and feel what your new smile could be like before starting treatment, giving you confidence in every step.
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.
