Digital Smile Design Alderley, Newmarket, Brisbane

Here at My Dentist Alderley, Brisbane, our signature Digital Smile Design (DSD) service is designed to harmonise a patient’s smile with their face and blending in with their character, not just their physical features.

Much like an architect creating a blueprint to build a house, DSD helps create a blueprint of your future smile, so treatment can be done with a plan in mind. With the latest and most innovative technologies, our patients can enjoy the highest quality dentistry while getting the smile they desire.

Guided dentistry is an essential part of DSD: we use technology to close the gap between what we plan and what we place in our patient’s mouths. We use the latest innovations and technology in our DSD process, including scanners, digital design software, the printing of teeth and pretreatment designs.

These tools allow us to make better and more comprehensive treatment planning decisions while improving clinical performance with more joy and less stress. DSD involves a full-digital workflow that involves a test drive of our patient’s smiles before any dentistry or tooth preparation is undertaken.

We understand that modern, comprehensive, digital dentistry is a team sport, and through the use of digital dentistry, we can provide predictable, beautiful, aesthetic outcomes.

DSD planning begins with collecting comprehensive information about our patient through:

Virtual simulations are part of DSD, which means you get to see the results on a screen, even before we begin the treatment. During the planning phase, we create designs on the computer, and you see them in action. If a mistake is made, it will be in the simulation, not in your mouth. In fact, we simulate all treatment options digitally before completing the treatment in the mouth, so you are confident you will get the results you are looking for.

When we begin your DSD service, we will do a full evaluation of your teeth and oral health to ensure we will build your smile on a strong foundation. Taking this important step helps improve your oral health so that your new smile will last as long as possible. The following are some dental problems that may be addressed on the path to your new smile:

The aim of DSD is to provide the smile you desire while improving oral health, therefore, treatments will not only help your teeth look great, but will also help improve your oral health. A treatment path may involve light dentistry, including simple aligners, teeth whitening, correction of gum levels and bonding or build-ups to perfect the edges and shapes of teeth.

Dental restorations may be created digitally, or what we call digital natural restorations, using technology to copy nature. A large majority of restorations made in dentistry do not look natural. At My Dentist, we strive to be different. We copy nature using digital libraries of beautiful natural dentitions that we then translate into milled beautiful restorations. We work in collaboration with a digital lab as partners, side by side, to create digital quality control.

Each patient is unique, with different dental situations, different levels of oral health, and varied ideas of their ideal smile. Because of this, we provide a variety of services to cater to all of our patients, and different combinations will be used depending on the patient’s needs and desired outcomes. Some of the treatments that may be used to create a new smile include:
