Digital Smile Design
Digital smile design from facial photos and intraoral scans, defining the ideal tooth shape and position before treatment. By Swift Lab, UAE.
About Digital Smile Design
Digital smile design (DSD) uses facial photos, videos and intraoral scans to plan the ideal smile in relation to the patient’s face, lips and gums. It defines tooth length, width, proportion and position before any treatment starts.
The design becomes the shared goal for the clinic, the patient and the lab. It improves communication, increases case acceptance and makes every later step, from mock-up to final restorations, more predictable.
