Digital Smile Design Brisbane

Digital smile design is an exciting and rewarding area of dentistry that is 100 per cent focused on your smile. Showcasing the best dental technology, Digital smile design uses the latest digital diagnostic software to assist in the treatment planning and fabrication of porcelain veneers, dental crowns, and Invisalign clear aligners.

How Digital Smile Makeovers Work

To begin the process, we will perform a thorough consultation and review the benefits of this treatment option. Then, if you choose to take advantage of digital smile design, the team at Edward St Dental will take 3-D images and videos from multiple angles inside your mouth.

Dr Matthew Pulvirenti or one of our talented dental hygienists will acquire the imagery of your teeth using an intraoral scanner. This fantastic tool looks like a plastic wand that fits comfortably in your mouth and offers an impressive range of views inside your mouth.

Your Edward St Dental technician may watch the scanner's images as they come up in real time during the scan. This action will help ensure that all views are crystal clear and complete. In addition, we know we can get all the imagery we need when we import the data into the smile design software by taking our time.

Check Out Our Digital Smile Book

Once all image files have been loaded, Dr Pulvirenti will evaluate your smile from every angle and check for forms and shapes in the digital library that can augment your teeth in the images. You can view changes expected from the treatment and even help our digital smile team plan the treatment's restorations. The accurate information captured by the intraoral scanner allows you to plan your smile in detail.

Your impressions and desires are central to the digital smile design process. Therefore, you will be involved in discussing your smile priorities and viewing the images of your mouth. You even get to approve the 3-D model and mock-up images of your final smile when the treatment finishes.

Your Digital Smile Makeover Treatment Plan

Once you have settled on the treatment regimen to create your new smile, Dr Pulvirenti's team will begin the restoration process. First, your teeth will need preparation for the restoration chosen by the digital smile design software.

We will prepare lightly damaged or misshapen teeth for tooth veneers, thin ceramic shells that smooth out visible tooth imperfections. Your dentist will remove a small amount of tooth enamel so your new veneer will fit seamlessly with the rest of your tooth. Your veneers will also match the colour of your natural teeth.

We will work with more damaged teeth to become either the base for a dental crown or removed completely to be replaced by a dental implant. As we provide each restoration, you'll move progressively towards your goals. The last step is a polishing treatment that will put a final sparkle into your new smile.

For many patients, having sound and healthy teeth is just the start. They want a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile they can feel excited to share with the world. With cosmetic dentistry and digital smile design, we can help patients visualise their new smile before any treatment. Seeing the outcome beforehand often provided immense peace of mind and assurance that the outcome will match expectations.
