With digital smile design, you will be part of the journey, every step of the way. Ensuring we design your dream smile!

What is the Digital Smile Design Process?

1. Consultation

At your smile makeover consultation at The Kensington Dentist, one of our experienced dentists will begin by taking a digital scan of your teeth and analysing your facial features. We’ll also capture photos and videos of your smile from various angles—while you’re talking, in profile, and at rest.

Using all of this detailed information, we’ll create your personalised Digital Smile Design with the help of advanced software, giving you a clear preview of your perfect smile.

2. Mock-Up or “Test Drive” of the Smile

After the software designs your ideal smile according to your facial features, a model is printed in 3D so that your dentist can make moulds to try it over your teeth.

That way, you can see how the smile will be in a realistic way and make a more informed decision before going ahead with the smile makeover.

3. Cosmetic Procedure

If you are happy with the results of the digital smile design then it is time for the treatment itself. This can be done with porcelain veneers, crowns, composite bonding or a combination of all of them.

The smile makeover treatment will be tailored to your case to achieve the results shown by the DSD software.

What are the benefits of digital smile design?

• A smile that is balanced, customised and perfect for your facial features.
• A natural look that enhances your beauty and natural appearance.
• Total control over the final result, as you are involved in the smile makeover process from the beginning
