So why should your new smile be any different?

How does it work?

With Digital Smile Design, you get the chance to ‘trial’ your new future smile before you even decide to go ahead with your dental treatment. It’s an exciting moment and we’re proud to offer it for you at Ironwood Dental Care.

By seeing and experiencing how your new smile could make you look and feel, you start to understand the real impact that it could have on your life and your confidence.

Experience your own new smile

In four easy steps...

1. We scan your teeth and mouth

1

Using scanning and imaging technology, we produce an image of your teeth and your mouth. We also take photos and videos of you from every angle so that we can really understand your smile and how to make it right for you.

This all forms the basis for our smile analysis and design.

2. We design your tailor-made smile

We use these digital images and combine them with your expectations for how you want your new smile to look. Then, our smile designers can get started on putting together your treatment plan and designing a new smile that is healthy, functional and custom made to suit your specific face.

You can work alongside us as the ‘co-designer’ of your own smile, making the changes you want to the colour or shape of your teeth to get a design you’re completely happy with.

3. We 3D-print a replica smile

Then, before any treatment begins, we use technology to show you your new smile – off screen. We take our design and, with 3D printing technology, we produce a model smile which you can ‘wear’ over your own teeth.

4. You try on your ‘trial smile’

When your mock-up smile is in place, you become the star in your own photo session. Seeing yourself and your new smile in photos and videos for the first time is a life-changing moment… and we can’t wait for you to experience it!

The DSD difference is clear

And when you get to be the ‘co-designer’ of your own smile…

There’s certainly a lot to smile about!

To make it ‘right’ for you, we have to take into account how a smile looks and how it functions. It’s about creating a smile that is strong, healthy and custom made to suit you.

Before, dentists would compile a treatment plan and get started, with no way for the patient to preview their result and know whether it would be right for them.

Now, things are different…

A red heart.

When you see and experience your beautiful new smile, right at the start, you get a real feel for the impact it could have on your life and your confidence.
