Digital Smile Design: How Technology Creates Your Perfect Manhattan Smile

If you’ve always wanted to improve your smile, but have held off because you’re worried the result won’t match the vision in your head, your wait is over.

Digital Smile Design is an innovative approach that combines advanced technology with an artist’s touch to let you see your new smile before treatment begins.

This new service fits right in with our mission (and our name!) at Smile Design Manhattan in New York City. Here’s how technology can help create your perfect smile.

What’s Digital Smile Design?

Digital Smile Design is a modern treatment planning program that uses photos, videos, and digital scans to customize a smile makeover plan, including a virtual preview of your new smile. 

The plan takes into account your facial proportions, the position and alignment of your teeth, and your aesthetic and oral health goals to create a custom smile for you.

Issues we typically address include:

• Discolored and stained teeth
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Misaligned or crooked teeth
• Missing teeth
• Uneven gums

Potential treatment options include veneers, implants, crowns, whitening, and orthodontics.

How does it work?

The process begins with a comprehensive evaluation. We take photos, videos, and digital scans of your mouth, including your teeth, gums, and facial expressions. There’s no need for messy putty impressions anymore.

We feed this information into the Digital Smile Design software, which analyzes factors such as tooth shape and proportion, smile symmetry, gum appearance, lip position, bite alignment, and more to create a virtual model of your new, enhanced smile.

You can preview this model with our team, and we can make adjustments until what you see on the screen matches what you see in your mind. We can even do side-by-side comparisons to help you make your choice.

What are the benefits of Digital Smile Design?

Because no two smiles are exactly alike, we can customize a smile tailored to your facial features and cosmetic preferences. The result: a natural-looking smile to help build your self-confidence.

Speaking of confidence, one of the biggest benefits of Digital Smile Design is that you can be confident of the results before you even start treatment. Seeing what your smile will look like brings peace of mind by eliminating uncertainty.

New digital tools make transforming your smile as smooth as possible, but we make sure you clearly understand the process so you can rest easy during your time with us.

When you’re ready to achieve the smile of your dreams, our team at Smile Design Manhattan is ready to use our Digital Smile Design service to bring that dream to life. To schedule a consultation, call our Midtown Manhattan office today or book your visit online.
