DIGITAL SMILE DESIGN
Seeing the Future
Dentistry has come a long way. Today, no matter what troubles you about your smile — from chipped or missing teeth to unsightly discoloration — your dentist offers a quick, effective solution. However, while treatment might be a just a phone call away, many people still hesitate to take the leap. The office visits, potential discomfort, and cost involved with restorative dentistry leave many patients asking, “Will this even be worth it?” In the old days, when dentists could only use models and molds, it was difficult to predict how teeth would look at the end of the treatment; patients had to take a leap of faith. Today, dentists use digital technology to remove some of that uncertainty. When it comes to digital technology, few can compete with Digital Smile Design (DSD). This program is able to deliver precise results, showing you how your smile will look before treatment begins.

What makes DSD special is that it isn’t just a tool to make your dentist’s job easier; this program is geared to involve patients, making you the co-creator of your own smile. Photos and videos taken at each stage of the treatment help improve communication between you and your dentist. With DSD, patients have the tools to express their desires and expectations every step of the way. Exceptional Smiles at Landerbrook is proud to go beyond conventional dentistry and provide Digital Smile Design to our patients.
