DSD Technology
DSD Technology
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:
The use of diagnostic tools such as intraoral and extraoral photos.
Scans of the teeth.
Videos to show the dynamics of the face surrounding the smile.
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.
Oral Health and Your Smile
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:
Crooked teeth
Discoloured teeth
Teeth that are chipped or broken
Filling in gaps
Treating gum disease
