Cosmetic dentistry treatments are becoming vastly more popular but often people feel apprehensive about committing to a treatment plan without being able to clearly visualise the results. Digital Smile Design is the perfect solution.
Deciding to make any type of changes to the appearance of your teeth can require an emotional and financial commitment, so you want to make sure you know what to expect before any sort of treatment begins. While you can be sure that we have a very good idea of how your new smile will look, it can be tricky to communicate this simply by using words.
This is why we are so pleased to be able to offer our patients digital smile design. This uses up-to-date technology to create virtual images of your new smile. By using digital photography combined with an advanced computer program, we will be able to show you how your smile could be enhanced through using cosmetic dentistry. The digital photos taken during your appointment are professionally altered to create very realistic images.
This work is done behind the scenes and you can either return to our dental practice or we can send the images directly to you so you can examine them at your leisure. We will have quite an in-depth discussion with you beforehand to discover how you’d like your new smile to look, but you will have the ability to request changes after your smile design images are completed.
How Smile-Vision Digital Smile Design Could Help You
By using this cosmetic imaging system, we can take digital photographs of your smile that are then used to create virtual images showing how your new teeth could look through using a particular treatment. We find this far more effective than using more traditional ways of planning cosmetic dental treatments, for example with plaster models of your teeth that may have been mocked up with tooth coloured wax to show how your new teeth will appear. Although we can show you pictures of people who have undergone treatments similar to the procedures you may be considering, it’s still difficult to visualise how your own smile could look.
It’s worth considering Smile-Vision if you would like to have quite a comprehensive smile makeover which may involve multiple crowns or bridgework or porcelain veneers.
There is another advantage in using this technique as the images produced can be used by our dental laboratory to ensure your new restorations are accurately replicated. It is an easy and inexpensive way to make sure that a particular cosmetic dentistry treatment will be right for you and helps to ensure that you have realistic expectations about your treatment. Using digital smile design is also quite a lot of fun, allowing you to explore all the possibilities that may be available.
If you decide to go ahead, then you can rest assured that any restorations provided by Tsawwassen Place Dental Clinic will always be of the very highest quality and our aim is to ensure you not only have a smile that looks beautiful and healthy, but which will function properly.
