Smile Design

Planning Your New Smile

The quality of your smile inspires the confidence and trust that others have in you during social and professional interactions. An unfortunate smile can compromise your opportunities without you even realising it. Creating a beautiful smile requires bespoke planning, taking into account your personality and lifestyle. At Hout Bay Dental Studio, we take a systematic approach to perfection with attention to fine detail.

What is Smile Design?

Treatment planning is facial-driven. We base it on analysing your facial and dental proportions using a predetermined series of high-quality digital photographs and videos. This facilitates understanding the relationship between your teeth, gums, lips and smile.

Being equipped with the right tools makes all the difference. Amongst other tools, we use Digital Smile Design (DSD), which allows us to follow a step-by-step process.

DSD has several advantages that include

  • A functional, aesthetic and biological appraisal;

  • Achieving consistent and predictable results;

  • Better communication and understanding of the treatment plan between the team members and our patients.

With smile design, our patients can be involved in planning and designing their own restorative or smile enhancement process. This means you can become the co-designer of your treatment by sharing objectives, desires and expectations with our team.
