Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you—it can make a big difference in your appearance.

What is digital smile design?

Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a technique used to digitally plan and modify your smile, allowing you to see the outcome before any treatment begins.

This process uses computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to create customized veneers tailored to your specific needs.
DSD is less invasive than traditional dental treatments and can be completed in a shorter time frame.

The digital smile design process

  1. Initial consultation:
    Schedule a consultation where your dentist will evaluate your smile and discuss your treatment goals.

  2. Digital imaging:
    Digital images of your teeth are taken to create a computer simulation of your new smile.

  3. Mock-up creation:
    Once you're satisfied with the simulation, a direct mock-up is made. This provides an aesthetic preview, helping you make an informed decision and assess how closely the result matches your expectations.

  4. Final adjustments & placement:
    After reviewing the aesthetics and function—and making any necessary corrections—the final veneers are crafted and placed.

  5. Enjoy your new smile:
    With the treatment complete, you can confidently enjoy your improved smile!

Before & after results:

  • Initial situation: Evaluation of the dental arch

  • DSD processing: Computer-generated simulation

  • Final result: Realization of the desired smile with improved aesthetics and function

A narrow urban alleyway at night features a corner of a building with a bright blue 'GLOW dental' sign. The street is dimly lit with patches of light from wall-mounted lamps casting shadows on the wet pavement. A blurred figure is walking past, creating a sense of motion. The scene is framed by buildings with different textures and designs, one with red brick and ornate detailing.

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist so much! The whole team is warm and welcoming.

Speaking to Dr Ana Maria Castellani is like speaking to an old friend. She takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly and is calm and reassuring. Highly recommended.
