Digital Smile Design
What is a Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a treatment planning protocol that allows for careful analysis of the patient’s facial and dental structures through state-of-the-art videography and digital technology. Today, the DSD Concept is considered the most modern, patient-centered design approach available.
- Step 1: SLR camera to obtain the 2D images.
- Step 2: Face 3d scanner to capture the facial data.
- Step 3: Intraoral 3d scanner to acquire the jaw data.
- Step 4: Design software (exoCAD Smile Creator) to carry out mock-up design.
- Step 5: 3D printer to print the mock-up mode.
Face 3D Scanner
Using EinScan Pro 2X with Color add-on, we can easily to capture face 3d data. Combining face 3D data, intraoral 3D data and 2D face data with exocad Smile Creator, we can come up with efficient 3D DSD smile design.
Intraoral 3D Scanner
AORALSCAN - boost your digital dentistry. Using Intraoral 3d scanner to acquire the jaw data.
exoCAD - In-CAD Smile Design
Create added value with Smile Creator – exoCAD’s innovative in-CAD smile design solution for predictable esthetic smile makeovers. Integrated into the renowned exoCAD DentalCAD platform, Smile Creator empowers dental labs to reliably assess prosthetic feasibility even during esthetic planning – thanks to our innovative 2D/3D technology.
Precise – alignment of 2D photos and 3D data
Load existing patient photos or create them directly in the software using a webcam. These will automatically be converted to 3D objects, which can be matched to 3D scans of the teeth.
Intuitive – reproduction of natural tooth shapes
Create a new smile by simply editing 2D shapes. Access exocad’s extensive tooth library for highly esthetic anterior and posterior tooth designs. Facial analysis with help lines and proportional guides enable you to design the perfect smile for the patient’s individual anatomy.
Real-time – smile design preview in 3D
Easily design in 2D and view the results in 3D from various angles in real-time. Maximum predictability of outcome is thus guaranteed as you can quickly and reliably assess feasibility at this early stage.
Reliable – realistic preview of projected outcomes
Create accurate visualizations of your designs with Smile Creator and allow patients to easily assess their new smiles before entering into restorative treatments.
