How is digital smile design assessed?
Digital smile design is an approach that helps assess smile-related expectations and plan possible treatment options. The images are planning and communication tools; they do not provide an exact image or guarantee of the treatment outcome.
Who may be assessed for treatment?
The examination considers the health of the teeth and gums, bite, existing restorations, facial and lip relationships, and personal expectations. Decay or gum problems may need to be addressed before aesthetic procedures.
Treatment plan and stages
The clinician takes the necessary records and measurements and discusses appropriate options, stages, possible risks and alternatives with the patient. A plan may include different procedures such as whitening, orthodontics or restorations; not every procedure is necessary for every person.
Care and follow-up
Care and follow-up needs depend on the procedures chosen. Brushing, cleaning between teeth and clinician-recommended check-ups are important for maintaining oral health.
Frequently asked questions
Will the digital design be identical to the result?
The digital work is a preliminary planning tool. The final appearance may vary depending on oral anatomy, selected treatments and clinical conditions.
Does everyone receive veneers?
No. Whether treatment is needed and which options are suitable are determined after examination.
How long does treatment take?
The time varies depending on assessment and the procedures selected.
This information is general; diagnosis and treatment planning are determined by an individual clinical assessment.
