Who is Digital Smile Design for?
Some of the most noticeable features on your face are your mouth, gums and teeth. Being on display constantly when talking, eating, smiling and laughing can make any person feel self-conscious if they are unsatisfied with the way these features look. However, what if you want to make changes to your appearance but are hesitant because you aren’t sure how it will turn out?
The good news is, there’s a simple way to alter your appearance without any major commitment: Digital Smile Design. It is ideal for people who seek alternative ways to get a confident smile for a number of reasons:
- They do not wish to end up with a fake-looking smile
- They do not want uncomfortable or painful treatment
- They are too anxious to go to the dentist
- They find dental treatment is too time-consuming
DSD solves all these concerns with intuitive technology that predicts your new look with accuracy. Book a consultation with our team today to see if it’s right for you.

How does Digital Smile Design work?
Digital Smile Design uses revolutionary and modern software to provide a digitally enhanced preview of your teeth. It is the easiest and safest way to view your new smile before you commit to any permanent changes to your look.
No two smile design plans are identical! DSD is a simple four-step approach to a smile makeover, and is personalised to your look.
1. We take digital scans of your mouth, teeth and gums.
2. We scan the images and present them on a screen
3. We discuss your smile goals.
4. We show you mock-up images of your new smile.
Once you are completely satisfied with the way your teeth and mouth look and no more revisions are made to your images, our dentists will then discuss the best way to move forward on your smile journey.

Benefits of Digital Smile Design
Your smile is made to measure
Digital Smile Design helps you achieve the level of personalisation you require based on the condition of your teeth. As no two smile journeys are the same, DSD offers a complete custom experience.
Empowered contribution from the patient
DSD is a collaborative effort, as the patient and dentist work together to clearly communicate the expectations and requirements to achieve the desired dental treatment outcome. The procedure will be carried out only when a mutual solution is agreed upon by both the dentist and the patient.
Improved smile
Of course, an improved smile is guaranteed thanks to better precision and customised processes. The end goal is of course healthy teeth that are designed to enhance your overall appearance.
Transparent and predictable results
Any fear associated with dental treatments is significantly reduced as the Digital Smile Design allows the patient to understand the process, view it in real time, and decide the result before any work is carried out. The patient will not receive any unpleasant surprises after the treatment. It’s all about managing expectations.
Corrects dental anomalies
Any dental anomalies will be identified during your DSD process. If any changes affect your chewing capacity, it can be corrected so you can enjoy all your favourite foods without worrying about your new teeth structure not supporting you.
Frequently Asked Questions: Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design is revolutionising the world of cosmetic dentistry. It affords patients the unique chance to co-design their smile, using accurate 3D models of your mouth to build a tailored treatment plan to help you reach your oral health and aesthetic goals.
It can be a highly rewarding experience for patients that are eager to see their post-treatment results before they even get started. If you’d like a treatment plan that’s specially designed based on your results, DSD could be right for you.
Unlike other digital imaging solutions, Digital Smile Design delivers a vastly higher degree of accuracy, so you can see exactly how your smile will look at the end of your treatment.
Digital Smile Design is at the forefront of dental technology, providing the means for dentists to build bespoke treatment plans based around your goals. This gives the patient greater control; the procedure doesn’t begin until you have approved the outcome.
Many of our patients want to plan their smile transformation around an upcoming event or work schedule, so they’re curious to know how long Digital Smile Design might take.
It’s difficult to give one generalised answer around the timeline of DSD, as it largely depends on your individual treatment plan. Your dentist at Toorak Dental Studio will be able to provide a clearer timeline during your first consultation.
DSD is a process that’s personalised to each patient. You may require veneers, crowns, aligners or fixed dentures, and the aesthetic you’re looking for will determine the overall cost.
When you book a consultation with us, we’ll work with you to create a tailored treatment plan that will provide a clear breakdown of the processes, timescale and cost. We also offer interest-free payment plans such as DentiCare to help cover the costs.
Your smile journey treatment is custom-tailored to address your unique concerns, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Because of this, it is difficult to place a standard cost for a Digital Smile Design. Once you and your dentist have discussed your procedure, you will receive your personalised pricing breakdown.
The only thing you need to bring to your first consultation is you and your personal goals. You should take some time to think about the kind of smile you’d like to have before you meet us. Some of our patients bring old photos of themselves to further demonstrate what they’re looking for. And, if you’re not sure what kind of smile you’d like, that’s why we’re there: to help you create your perfect smile.
If you’re not completely happy with the mock-up in the initial stage, our trained dentists can easily change things until you are happy. The specialised software enables us to design a variety of outcomes before we begin work. This flexibility allows us to collaboratively understand what you’re really looking for.
Using state of the art technology, Digital Smile design can help you address and correct the following cosmetic dental concerns:
- Whiten and brighten your teeth
- Make your front teeth the same height and width
- Achieve a better gum-to-teeth ratio
- Match your smile to the curve of your lips
- Reduce risk of tooth decay, gum disease and infection
- Make your face look younger and healthier
