Ironwood Dental Care is a certified clinic by Digital Smile Design, which means that we are trained in how to use the concept of Digital Smile Design for our patients. With DSD, we use digital technology to design our patients’ smiles and plan their dental treatment. And before treatment begins, we are able to show our patients how their new smile could look on them. [ book now ](https://www.ironwooddental.com/contact) ## How can Digital Smile Design help you? We use technology to help design beautiful new smiles that you can preview before any treatment starts. With DSD you can change features such as: ![An icon of a white tooth.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/features2.png?width=400&height=400&name=features2.png) Lighten the shade of the teeth ![An icon of a tooth being resized.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/features3.png?width=400&height=400&name=features3.png) Rebalance the shape and size of the teeth ![An icon of two teeth with a gap between them.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/features1.png?width=400&height=400&name=features1.png) Remove small gaps between teeth ![An icon of a tooth being realigned.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/features5.png?width=400&height=400&name=features5.png) Realign the rows of teeth ## What’s stopping you from getting a confident new smile? ![An icon of a calendar.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/problem1.png?width=120&height=120&name=problem1.png) I’m too busy for frequent dental appointments ![An icon of a sad face.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/problem2.png?width=120&height=120&name=problem2.png) I will not look like myself with fake teeth ![A thumbs down icon.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/problem3.png?width=120&height=120&name=problem3.png) I don’t like going to the dentist ![An icon of a veneer falling.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/problem4.png?width=120&height=120&name=problem4.png) I’ve heard veneers can fall out ![An icon of a graph with downward trend.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/problem5.png?width=120&height=120&name=problem5.png) New teeth won’t improve my quality of life ![confident-smile](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/confident-smile.jpg) ![Digital Smile Design logo.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/dsdlogo.jpg) ## You won’t have to worry about these with Digital Smile Design!  We invite you to see for yourself and be pleasantly surprised at how straightforward, predictable and enjoyable it can be to improve the appearance of your teeth.  ## We trust in DSD and so can you ![An icon of a smiley face.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/smiling.png) ## We prefer Digital Smile Design We believe in clinical excellence and patient care. Using Digital Smile Design, we strive to deliver a five star experience that is fully customized to any patient who would like to smile with greater confidence.    ![An icon of an ear listening.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/we-listen_tab.png) ![An icon of a tablet.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/we-plan_tab.png) ![A thumbs up icon.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/wow_tab.png) ![An icon of a start button.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/start_Tab.png) ![An icon of a smiley face.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/step5_tab.png) ![Dr Sheena Sood talking with a Digital Smile Design patient at Ironwood Dental Care.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/First_visit_Hero_Image.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=First_visit_Hero_Image.jpg) ### 1. We get to know you Smile design goes way beyond teeth. It’s personal and 100% tailored to your whole authentic self. That’s why we always start by listening to you, making sure we know what you are looking for and how we can deliver that to you in a way that makes you comfortable and cared for.  ![Dr Sheena Sood looking at a scan of a patient's teeth.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step2.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step2.jpg) ### 2. We plan your ideal smile We take detailed scans and images of your teeth, mouth and face and then with dental software, create a treatment plan. The plan is digitally verified by a team and becomes our roadmap to your desired end result. ![A Digital Smile Patient smiling happily as she sees her new smile.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step3.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step3.jpg) ### 3. You say wow! You then test drive a mock-up of your new smile on top of your own natural teeth to feel and see the end result, before we’ve even started! You can co design the appearance of your teeth and discuss any changes. At each step you are involved and you’re able to decide what’s going to work for you, your lifestyle, your budget, as well as what’s going to look really beautiful.  ![Dr Sheena Sood wearing a mask as she performs a patient's dental treatment at Ironwood Dental Care. ](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step4.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step4.jpg) ### 4. Treatment begins As your treatment is planned out in advance, our goal is that you will know what to expect at each dental appointment. All you need to do is sit back and relax, while it all comes together to help you achieve your final result. We strive to ensure that you will be truly happy with your decision to have invested in yourself. ![Dr Sheena Sood taking a selfie with a patient who is showing her new Digital Smile Design smile.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step5.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step5.jpg) ### 5. Your pre-approved end result While you have already seen the preview, nothing quite prepares you for the feeling of having your final treatment stage completed and walking out with your new smile.  Ready for the world, we are thrilled about the doors that this renewed confidence will open for you... ![Dr Sheena Sood talking with a Digital Smile Design patient at Ironwood Dental Care.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/First_visit_Hero_Image.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=First_visit_Hero_Image.jpg) ![Dr Sheena Sood looking at a scan of a patient's teeth.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step2.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step2.jpg) ![A Digital Smile Patient smiling happily as she sees her new smile.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step3.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step3.jpg) ![Dr Sheena Sood wearing a mask as she performs a patient's dental treatment at Ironwood Dental Care. ](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step4.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step4.jpg) ![Dr Sheena Sood taking a selfie with a patient who is showing her new Digital Smile Design smile.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/step5.jpg?width=1048&height=772&name=step5.jpg) [ get started ](https://www.ironwooddental.com/contact) ![An icon of a natural-looking tooth.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/natural-restorations.png) ## What’s not to love about a natural-looking smile? ![Half of an eye joined to a sketch of the eye mimicking its natural appearance.](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3439767/Lp%202019/images/left-img.png) ### Nature knows best We use technology to replicate the authentic shapes, patterns and textures that are found in natural teeth. This helps us to create harmony and balance in any smile design. ![A patient at Ironwood Dental Care shows her new smile with Digital Smile Design.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/natural-restorations_feature2.jpg) ### **Subtle but significant** Which would you prefer to hear?  ‘Wow, you have a beautiful smile!’ ‘Wow, you have a beautifully done smile!’ Natural restorations won’t give you features that distract from the real you.  ## Natural Restorations ![A natural-looking dental restoration created using Digital Smile Design.](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3439767/Lp%202019/images/img1.png) As nature has imperfections, perfection is not our goal ![A natural-looking smile created using Digital Smile Design.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/Main_Page_Gallery_02.jpg) There are several factors that make teeth look fake ![A 3D printer used to print replica smile designs with Digital Smile Design. ](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202020-03-05%20at%2018.08.48.png) Tooth symmetry, texture and colour can be replicated from natural algorithms with DSD ![Natural-looking teeth created using Digital Smile Design.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/Main_Page_Gallery_05.jpg) Modern dental materials give restorations a more realistic colouring ![A Digital Smile Design patient smiling to show off her new teeth.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/Cosmetic%20Dentistry.jpg) A natural-looking smile communicates authenticity and trustworthiness ![A natural-looking smile design created using Digital Smile Design.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/Main_Page_Gallery_04.jpg) Facially-driven smile design ensures natural proportions ## The benefit of foresight We only want to give you happy surprises when it comes to your new smile. By showing you a preview of how you will look with your changed teeth, you are in the driver's seat of your treatment.  How can you say yes to treatment before you know what the result will be? We’ll show you how your new smile will look, in your own mouth, before you get started. ![A young man smiling before his dental treatment with Digital Smile Design.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/before.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=before.jpg) ![A young man smiling after his dental treatment with Digital Smile Design.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hs-fs/hubfs/after.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&name=after.jpg) ### Want to test drive YOUR new smile today?
