The Digital Smile Design Concept (DSD) seeks to present to the world a new face of
Dentistry, more human, emotional and artistic, but also more efficient and precise
through digital technology, further enhancing our noble profession in society,
because after all there are not many things in this life that are more important than a
healthy, natural, confident and beautiful SMILE.
Digital Smile Design is a multi-use conceptual dental treatment planning tool that is
used in interdisciplinary esthetic dentistry to strengthen diagnostic vision, improve
communication/education and enhance predictability throughout the course of the
treatment.
Nowadays having a mouth free of biological and functional problems is not sufficient
for modern day dental patients. They desire to own beautiful smiles that are
integrated with their physical characteristics but more so in harmony with their
emotional aspects. Modern dentistry has evolved further to meet highly esthetic
demands and expectations of the modern day patient. To achieve this, today's
dentists need to go beyond their boundaries of traditional dentistry and acquire set of
artistic/communication skills and vision to become “Smile Designers” and this is
where DSD plays a pivotal role.
The development of the DSD concept started in 2007 and over the years has
evolved markedly. Recently, it has already made its way in the global market of
Esthetic Dentistry and thousands of dentists / dental technicians have been trained
to use it across the globe.
