Digital Smile Design (DSD)
With 3D imaging, 5D scanning and photography, we are able to visualise and treatment plan before we start performing any work — making our dentistry more predictable. During your initial consultation, we will help you work out a plan with all the options and costs involved.
The DSD concept
Creating a platform where we can better communicate with our patients, involving them in the process of designing their new smile, and also fulfilling our commitment to replicating this design accurately.
- Test drive your smile
- Visualise your goals
- Personalised treatment plans
Some of our clients just need minor smile adjustments, and for others, a complete smile design. Options like dental veneers, composite bonding, implants, teeth whitening or orthodontic treatment and Invisalign can all be discussed in our warm and relaxing studios.
Creating successful outcomes
We realise that the key to a successful outcome is to understand our patient’s identity. Our technologically advanced dental studios are located on the border of Thornbury and South Preston, in an ideal location where we can help you address all your cosmetic concerns.
Let’s get started
Visit us where we will guide you through the steps, which involves:
— Getting the foundation healthy
— Photos and videos of your smile
— Scanning & creating a virtual mock up of your smile
— And finally, transferring the vision into reality
Designing smiles — digital mock-ups

FAQ’s about Digital Smile Design
What is the Digital Smile Design process?
A series of photos and videos are taken, together with any necessary dental imaging X-rays and dental moulds. This information is then entered into our Digital Smile Design software to help give us examples of what can be achieved. This smile design will be analysed together with our team of technicians and master ceramists, where we will discuss all your cosmetic concerns. A simulated mock up can be created so we can visualise the end result, making any adjustments to the shape, position and contours of the new smile. We are then ready to approve and start the treatment process.
Why should we consider Digital Smile Design?
The way forwards is digital. Utilising the latest in technological advances and being at the forefront of dentistry, we are able to capture and visualise this smile in 3-D. We are now not just looking at teeth, but instead, looking at how your smile complements the rest of your face. It has never been more predictable.
What are the costs, and do you offer payment plans?
Every individual is different, with different treatment goals and processes. At your initial consultation, we will walk you through your smile design process, give you costs and options, as well as work out payment options that suit your needs.
How long does the Digital Smile Design process take?
Everyone’s treatment needs are different. Depending on what we are presented with clinically, each individual patient will go through a different process to achieve their ideal smile. Once we have gathered all the necessary information, our team at The Smile Designer will walk you through each step.
