Digital Smile Design (DSD)

The latest techniques in cosmetic dentistry allow patients to actively participate in the creation of their own smile. This is done through an approach known as digital smile design (DSD). With the help of modeling, the dentist can accurately capture the desired result, and the patient has the chance to see the future smile before any corrections are made.

DSD (Digital Smile Design) – computer digital modeling of a smile

Digital smile design is a modern technique of visualizing teeth, allowing a person to "try on" their future teeth. Thanks to technological progress, the number of clinics using the DSD protocol, created in 2007 by a dentist from Brazil, Christian Kochman, is growing. DSD design (smile design) in dentistry solves a number of important problems:

  1. Dialogue with the client. In order for a person to have no doubts about the result of treatment, he needs to be shown that all steps are based on a precisely designed picture
  2. Cooperation of specialists. Often, dental disease requires the intervention of various specialists who must work together
  3. Organization of work. Smile design results help coordinate the activities of each specialist

Digital 3D diagnostics in dentistry provides a clear plan of action and visualizes the expected result, which satisfies, among other things, the aesthetic needs of the patient.

When is computer modeling of teeth necessary?

Thanks to advanced technologies, the client can see the expected changes in advance, and the dentist can make the perfect prosthesis. Reasons to resort to modeling and design (smile design) in dentistry:

  • Disorders in the formation of the jaw system
  • Complex jaw fractures
  • Suspicion of tumors in the jaw and face (smile modeling makes it possible to detect them at an early stage)
  • Damage to the dentition
  • Teeth that have not erupted
  • Inflammation in the root of the tooth, etc.

In each of these cases, three-dimensional Digital smile modeling is extremely important. Although it is possible to perform a regular X-ray, it does not allow an accurate assessment of the condition of the bone tissue. Computer modeling shows in detail the canals, soft tissues, blood vessels and changes in the mucous membrane.

Do I need to prepare for digital modeling? "Before starting the smile design procedure, thorough preparation is necessary - professional cleaning, which helps remove plaque and stones. It is also important to treat all existing diseases. These steps are necessary to make it possible to create a harmonious smile design," answers the doctor of "K + 31". All preparatory procedures are available in the multidisciplinary clinic "K + 31".

General information about the procedure

"Trying on" a new smile

Using Exocad software, we create a 3D visualization (Digital modeling) of the jaw. This "intelligent" program automatically selects the shape, size and shade of the crowns or veneers that will be installed for the patient.

After approving the type of smile, we send all the information to a special printer. Thus, the patient has a chance to evaluate both the convenience and the appearance of the new teeth. The prepared and approved virtual sample of teeth is then used to create a prototype of the structures (Mock-up) on a digital printer.

Dental Prosthetics with CAD/CAM

Restorative dentistry cannot do without digital technologies. Traditional manual production of prosthetics is replaced by the latest CAD/CAM technique of computer-aided smile modeling.

CAD/CAM is an advanced process that fully automates the production of dental prosthetics. Digital modeling technology is applicable to various materials, such as zirconium and titanium.

Definitions of CAD and CAM:

  • CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the help of a computer in creating new teeth
  • CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) is the participation of a computer in the production of teeth

After planning the treatment, dentists determine which materials are best to use for a particular case. Preparation of teeth includes processing of hard tissues of teeth to ensure the necessary fixation.

Stages of manufacturing dentures using CAD/CAM technologies of digital smile modeling:

  1. Obtaining a virtual model of a smile
  2. Processing digital data
  3. Recreating the dental surface on the screen
  4. Designing a model of the future denture
  5. Automated production of the denture

In some CAM systems where there is no automatic modeling of dentures, the technician manually creates a model, which is then scanned or copied for transfer to the selected structural material.

Stages of digital smile design modeling in the K+31 dental clinic

The specialist takes photographs of the patient's smile and uploads them to specialized software. Then the dentist determines and designs the proposed boundaries of dental restoration. As soon as the client confirms the smile plan, work with the face bow begins.

Stages of data transfer and production:

  1. Transferring data from smile modeling and measurements to the dental laboratory
  2. Wax modeling (WAX UP)
  3. Patient's assessment of the result

The created individual models of teeth are inserted into the patient's mouth. This process is known as Dental Make Up. To demonstrate the future result of the work, polymer caps are installed in the client's mouth.

At the final stage, permanent dentures are installed for the patient: veneers, inlays, crowns, dental implants. Digital smile design becomes a reality.

Answers to popular questions

Dentists from K+31 answered the most common questions about smile modeling services in dentistry.

Is there a connection between smile design and the "golden ratio"?

The concept of the golden ratio was introduced by the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras, defining the ideal proportions of beauty through the numerical ratio of 1 to 1.618. In the field of dentistry, the golden ratio is used in creating smile restoration designs through specialized programs, which allows achieving harmony, making the smile and face as a whole more attractive.

How many smile examples can you view?

As many as it takes to choose the ideal smile option. Often, after trying on snow-white teeth, patients agree with the recommended more natural shade.

As a patient, I can see the doctor's attention and attitude during the appointment and pain relief. What I saw was that Yukova M.R. is a responsible, attentive and caring doctor who helped me save a tooth from extraction. Today, during an appointment, another dentist-orthopedist in another clinic took a picture and praised the work and asked for contacts where and who treated this tooth. Top class! Thank you again!!!

Thank you very much to Dr. Omar for the parental happiness that the doctor gave us!... Where and to whom we took Maxim... We had hysterics, both our Maxim and we were under enormous stress. In other clinics, doctors sang songs to him, danced and showed him all kinds of cartoons, everything was useless. They only told us to do general anesthesia..... And now we get to Dr. Omar.... MAGIC!!!.... Maksimka leaves the doctor with her teeth cured and makes an appointment to meet again as soon as possible!.... So we cured all our teeth with a smile and great gratitude. Every week he asks to meet with the doctor, just to see if new holes have appeared there..... DOCTOR FROM GOD!!!.... I wish there were more such doctors, not only for children, but also for adults. With great respect and love, your regular clients clinics (Zaitsev sisters, Tatiana and Elena)

My daughter had a sharp toothache and we urgently had to look for a pediatric dentist. They chose Anastasia Eduardovna. Examination revealed pulpitis. There were 2 options, removing the tooth or trying to save it. The doctor said that of course it’s better to try to save it. We treated our tooth in two visits. At the first appointment, everything was cleaned, a temporary filling was placed, and then we were observed for 2 weeks to ensure there were no complications. After 2 weeks we went to the doctor and got a permanent filling. We are very pleased with the attitude and quality of Anastasia Eduardovna’s work.
