Digital Smile Design — 3D Perfect

When we’re working on a beautiful new smile, we use more than a collection of techniques, like teeth whitening or Invisalign aligners. We are also looking at the big picture, which includes the golden ratio of beauty. 

What does the golden ratio have to do with cosmetic dentistry? You may remember from school that certain natural things fit into an ideal diagram that defines beauty—from the placement of flower petals to a beautiful face. 

At your local dentist office Discovery Dental, we use computer modeling to plan the most beautiful smile for you, based on the golden ratio. We use more than just a practiced human eye. We can predict the future with powerful software for Digital Smile Design dentistry. 

How Does Digital Smile Design Work? 

We’ll let you get involved in your own smile design. You should be able to see what we are working toward and make your own decisions. In the old days, you just had to take your dentist’s word that your teeth would look good. But now, we’ll show it to you in advance. 

We take 3D scans of your teeth and supporting tissues, including dental x-rays of your jawbones. We’ll also get high-resolution color pictures of your teeth, along with video. This creates a complete model of your face and teeth in the computer. 

We will then use the advanced software to show an image of what your smile will look like on the screen in front of you. We will tell you what treatments we recommend and show you the end goal—a beautiful smile. 

It is quite a feeling to see your own face but with a transformed smile. We’re excited to see your reaction here at our family dental practice. Call us today to schedule your first appointment!

3D Printing

We also offer a complementary technology called 3D Perfect. Once we decide together what your perfect smile will look like, we can then design your teeth in every detail. Next, we’ll print out a 3D mold of those teeth. 

We can then use that mold for various smile design technologies. For example, these cosmetic dental services can make your teeth look:

• Whiter. 
• Straighter. 
• More even. 
• Free of chips or cracks. 
• Closer together. 
• Or any other way you’d like. 

We can accomplish any cosmetic dentistry goal, such as making a row of teeth look straight, every tooth the right color (with no stains), and each tooth a great shape. 

One method for that is dental veneers. What are veneers? These are gorgeous, thin shells of porcelain that we create in your 3D printed mold. They’ll be crafted to bond to your teeth without taking away your natural dental material—giving you stronger teeth for the long-term. 

We’ll also show you previews of the shape and color of your teeth. You get to pick out the features that you want and approve them before we move forward with a porcelain veneers process.

Cost Advantage

Do you like getting discounts? For many insurance policies, the tooth changes we can make with 3D Perfect can fall under the category of tooth fillings. That means they help to cover your veneers cost or offer a discount, whereas some purely cosmetic services are not covered by every policy. 

This is just one more reason to at least think about trying Digital Smile Design and 3D Perfect. You may be able to pay for it more easily than you think, which can relieve the stress if you’re wondering, “how much do veneers cost?”
