How it works

Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a modern cosmetic treatment that allows you and your dentist to design the desired smile together.

Using the latest digital diagnostic software, it allows you to visually preview and “test drive” your smile before proceeding with treatments.

Unlike traditional cosmetic dental treatments, DSD also examines how your mouth, cheeks, eyes and lips interact when you smile. This allows you and your dentist to see how your new smile will look in a number of situations and emotional states, helping you both to design a smile that suits you.

Why should you consider pinhole gum surgery?

We will take photos, X-rays and moulds of your mouth to create a digital “map” of your teeth.
We will then record a video of you talking and smiling from different angles, allowing us to understand the relationship between your teeth, lips, cheeks and other facial features.
We compile the data into our Digital Smile Design software to generate a digital library of smiles. These smiles will be digitally placed over your teeth to show you what your new smile will look like. Think of it like a new smile brochure!
We will then conduct a smile design analysis working alongside ceramists, dental technicians and specialists to achieve your desired smile.
Finally, we present a mock-up of the end result. This will allow you to review the design of your new smile and make any adjustments including the length and colour of your new teeth, along with the overall shape of your new smile.
Once your final smile design is approved and finalised, we’ll draw up a treatment plan for you. Then, we’re ready to begin treatment and give you that smile you’ve always wanted!

How quick is the DSD procedure?

Is Digital Smile Design painful?
