Shoreline Dental Studio Offers Digital Smile Design So Patients Can Try Their New Smile Before Treatment
From cleanings to fillings to veneers, general to cosmetic dentistry, Shoreline Dental Studio offers dental solutions for the whole family.
- (1888PressRelease) September 23, 2022 - San Clemente, CA - Want a refreshed smile but want to see what it will look like first? Orange County dentist, Shoreline Dental Studio, is now offering Digital Smile Design — an innovative way for cosmetic dentistry patients to see their new smile before treatment actually happens.
With Digital Smile Design, patients seeking to improve their smile with custom treatments like porcelain veneers, dental implants, crowns or bridges, get a preview of their new teeth on-screen and in real life. Using the latest in 3D capture, rendering and output technology, Digital Smile Design allows dentists to plan their patients’ treatments digitally, show them 3D digital renderings of what treatment will look like, and then fit their patients with a 3D-printed model of their treatment before proceeding with the real procedure.
How Digital Smile Design Works at Shoreline Dental Studio
Step 1: Digital Capture - Cosmetic dentistry patients at Shoreline Dental Studio first have images of their teeth and mouth digitally captured quickly and painlessly by an iTero scanner. These images are then rendered as 3D images of the patient’s dental anatomy. Digital x rays and a bite analysis might also be included.
Step 2: Digital Treatment Planning and Review - The dentist then plans treatment on the 3D rendering, providing previews of outcome options for patients to see and give feedback. The dentist can make adjustments to the plan based on their conversations with the patient.
Step 3: A 3D Model to Try On - A 3D model of the patient’s new smile is produced on Shoreline Dental Studio’s in-house 3D printer. The model is then fitted onto the patient’s actual teeth for a “smile test drive.” The patient provides further input or approval before real treatment begins.
Benefits of Digital Smile Design
For dentists, this digital-to-real-life process provides more opportunities to quickly and conveniently refine a patient’s treatment plan. And with digital planning on a 3D rendering, dentists can explore and present multiple designs, pathways, and smile outcomes, opening up the process to transparency and patient feedback.
At Shoreline Dental Studio, this kind of collaboration is an important part of their patient-centered approach. Digital Smile Design allows patients to:
● play a more active role in seeing their design take shape
● make more informed decisions about their smile
● see their outcome before treatment even begins
● provide final approval with confidence
Taking a Smile Test Drive
The most unique benefit of Digital Smile Design is the “smile test drive,” giving patients the opportunity for a physical simulation of their new teeth for final feedback and approval. Plus, the Shoreline Dental Studio team can check for fit and see what a patient’s restorations or cosmetic fittings look like when smiling or talking. The dentist then takes a few photos and inputs them into the computer so a patient can see a final 3D rendering of their smile.
