    Digital Smile Design

    Preview your new smile before treatment begins—a planning tool, not a guarantee—then approve the plan with confidence.

    The Technology

    What Is Digital Smile Design?

    Digital Smile Design combines facial analysis, smile aesthetics, and digital technology to create your ideal smile blueprint. You can preview how veneers, crowns, or orthodontics may change your appearance—before any dental work happens.

    It's the planning foundation for every smile makeover at Prentice Dental.

    The Process

    01

    Digital Records

    High-resolution photos, videos, and 3D scans of your teeth and face

    02

    Analysis

    Facial features, smile line, and proportions analyzed digitally

    03

    Design

    Custom mockup adjusting shape, size, color, and alignment

    04

    Collaborate

    Review, refine, and approve before any treatment begins
