Digital Smile Design

Transform your smile. Radiate confidence. Light up the room.

Cosmetic dentistry including restorative dentistry for missing, chipped or misaligned teeth has advanced rapidly over the last few years. Dental patients who’ve previously had their self-esteem knocked due to an imperfect smile or teeth that make them self-conscious, have traditionally had to rely on a dental approach that only allows them to see their new smile after dental treatment has finished. This means there’s been an element of risk and a delve into the unknown once they’ve agreed to undergo what is sometimes complex and difficult dental work. The good news is you now no longer have to worry about what your smile and teeth will look like after dental work.

Digital Smile Design at Summertown Dental & Implants in Oxford is innovative, cutting-edge dentistry that gives our patients the power to choose the smile they’ve always dreamed of and see what your smile will look like before treatment starts. That’s right, Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology allows you to co-design your own smile with the help of our expert dental team at Summertown Dental & Implants in Oxford. Our Oxford dentists will work with you so you don’t just get a beautiful set of teeth, you get a new smile that works in harmony with your facial characteristics, personality and enhances how you talk, laugh and smile.

Why Choose Summertown Dental & Implants for Digital Smile Design?

For DSD at Summertown Dental & Implants in Oxford, we’ve devised a three-stage process to ensure our patients are guaranteed the smile of their dreams.

Professional enhanced digital photography

Our team is specially trained to photograph your teeth and smile before treatment begins. Often our patients have perfected the art of hiding their smile, especially when there’s a camera about, as they’ve been embarrassed about how they look for many years. One of the primary goals for all dental patients interested in Digital Smile Design is to find that carefree smile they had when they were younger. Making sure you lose that self-conscious feeling when you have a photo taken or are invited into a group selfie is also our goal. To do that effectively we need to capture your face and smile as it is before treatment starts and discuss what you don’t like about your “look” so we can advise on the best course of treatment going forward.

Video smile analysis

You’d be amazed the role our lips play on how we look when we eat, talk, laugh or smile. The best way to review the movement of lips in different scenarios is to film short video clips which our dentist will review with you. How our mouth works in harmony with the rest of our facial features is vital to see and will help you identify what you’d like to change and keep. The more knowledge we have when it comes to how all our features work together; the better we can plan your smile design and deliver your dream smile.

How long does Digital Smile Design take?

DSD is the ultimate in bespoke tailored dentistry and, as such, every patient we see at Summertown Dental & Implants in Oxford will have a unique treatment plan that may involve, dental veneers, cosmetic bonding, orthodontics, teeth whitening or a multitude of different combinations. Treatment times will, therefore, vary but our experienced team will keep you fully informed al the way through your journey to a new you.
