If you are considering a smile makeover in Oshawa and would love to visualize how it might turn out, digital smile design can help. With the aid of digital technology, we can show you how your new teeth could look and how we design crowns, bridges, and veneers to complement your unique facial features, skin tone, and even gender.
What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital smile design combines scans of your teeth with external images of your facial features to create accurate 3D models of your mouth. We use these digital models to custom-design your new restorations, ensuring each is contoured, shaped, and shaded to provide beautiful results.
Understanding the Process for Digital Smile Design
1. Identifying Your Treatment Goals
An initial consultation with our dentist at Margolian Dentistry will help us identify your treatment goals and expectations. We then scan your mouth with a tiny intraoral scanner and take digital images of your facial features. These are combined to help us custom-design your new smile.
2. Designing Your New Smile
Specialized software enables us to determine the ideal size, shape and length of your new restorations. These are designed according to the golden proportions found throughout nature and in architecture. Using these proportions or ratios ensures the results of your smile makeover in Whitby are aesthetically pleasing and in harmony with your facial features.
3. Previewing Your New Smile
One of the most exciting parts of smile design is the ability to view digital images showing how your new teeth could look. You can preview your new smile on screen in our treatment room. It is an approach that allows us to collaborate with you in creating your perfect smile in Ajax. If you want any changes, we can make these modifications until you are happy with the proposed results.
Creating Your New Smile Using High-Quality Materials
Once your treatment plan is finalized, we liaise closely with our skilled dental technicians and Master Ceramist to help bring it to fruition. A Master ceramist is a skilled dental technician who blends artistry with technology, bringing their training and experience to create beautiful custom smiles.
All restorations are made to the highest standards and crafted with the latest, most advanced materials. The result is teeth that look naturally beautiful and are durable and strong.
Benefits of Digital Smile Design
There are several benefits of using digital smile design, which include:
· Predictability, as you will have an excellent idea as to how your new smile will look before treatment begins.
· Efficiency, as planning your new smile can help eliminate or minimize any adjustments needed later.
· Better communication between you and our dental team, as using visual images helps you explain your treatment goals more easily, helping us understand them more clearly.
Not Just for Dental Restorations
We can also use smile design when planning Invisalign treatment.
What Is Invisalign?
This is a clear, removable braces system that gently and precisely repositions crooked teeth and corrects poor bites. Instead of fixed braces, you wear a series of clear plastic aligner trays that are virtually invisible once in the mouth.
Planning Invisalign Treatment Digitally
The process is broadly similar: we scan your mouth with a small handheld digital scanner. It creates a simulated 3-D model of your teeth. Invisalign’s software allows us to plan how your teeth will move, creating virtual images of how they will look upon completion of treatment.
