World-class method using photographic data and software to predict and create your ideal smile.
See your new smile before we begin
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a world-class method that uses photographic data and specialised software to predict and create your ideal smile. Unlike traditional smile makeovers where the result is uncertain, DSD lets you see and approve your new smile before any treatment begins.
How it works
The DSD process begins with detailed photographs and measurements of your face, teeth, and gums. This data is fed into the DSD software, which analyses your facial proportions, gum line, and tooth display to design a smile that complements your unique features.
You'll see a digital preview of your new smile, and we can make adjustments together until you're completely satisfied. Only then does treatment begin, which may include veneers, crowns, whitening, or other cosmetic procedures.
Veneers, the cornerstone of smile design
Veneers are often the primary treatment in a DSD smile makeover. Ultra-thin shells of porcelain are bonded to the front of your teeth to transform their shape, colour, and alignment. Learn more about veneer options →

Frequently asked questions
How long does the DSD process take?
The design phase typically takes 1-2 consultations. The treatment phase depends on the procedures involved, ranging from a few weeks for veneers to several months for comprehensive cases.
Is DSD only for cosmetic purposes?
While DSD focuses on aesthetics, it also considers function and bite alignment. A beautiful smile must also be a functional one.
Can I see what my smile will look like before committing?
Yes, that's the core advantage of DSD. You'll see a digital preview and can request changes before any treatment begins.
