What is digital smile design and why choose it?

Today we live in the age of digitalisation and artificial intelligence. For some years now, doctors have also been using digital tools and design software in their surgeries.

How does digitalisation help the dentist?

  • It makes procedures easier in many ways,
  • workflows become more precise,
  • and the end result has been perfected.

During digital smile design, by editing photos taken of the patient:

  • we create a tooth shape that suits the face, based on hundreds of tooth templates,
  • the optimal height of the teeth and the ideal bite,
  • and with it a comfortable jaw joint position.

The end result is a completely personalised new smile.

  • If you would like an effective source of motivation before starting your treatment.
  • If you would like to show your photos to others in extra high resolution and quality.
  • If you would like to try on your chosen smile before starting treatment.

What can you expect without professional smile design?

  • In the past, major cosmetic procedures regularly ran into difficulties, and it turned out that dentist and patient rarely spoke the same language.
  • Sometimes the patient could not explain clearly what exactly they wanted to see, and the dentist did not understand, or at least misunderstood it, so the work was stressful and took longer.

3 typical problems a smile design helps with

Many people know the awkward feeling of leaving the hairdresser with a haircut that is not quite what they had in mind. A cosmetic procedure such as a large-scale dental restoration with new prosthetics will shape our appearance for years to come.

A complex makeover can change not only the shape of the teeth, but also the bite and with it the character of the face, so the outcome of the treatment really matters!

When do we recommend smile design?

1. When it is difficult to explain our ideas to the dentist, and there is a risk that we misunderstand each other and the result will not reflect our dreams.

2. What suits a celebrity will not necessarily make our own smile more beautiful, or may not even be feasible in our case.

3. If it is hard to imagine how we would look with a new smile, it is also hard to decide, so it would be good to test the effect of the new smile on our loved ones in advance.

Thanks to professional smile design, we no longer have to rely on our imagination!


Instead of uncertainty, in just moments we can travel into the future to see the brand-new teeth we will be winning hearts with after the treatment!

Clinident – SmileFY design: precise, natural, elegant

Among smile design programs, the SmileFy app is one of the few that allows various files, images, X-rays or CT scans to be saved securely at the same time and used quickly within a single design process.

  • SmileFy only shows visual previews that can actually be achieved.
  • SmileFy‘s artificial intelligence analyses the patient’s facial features and proportions, then creates the smile template with a single click.
  • By modifying the photo taken of the patient, essentially a live Photoshop, it makes the future smile visible.
  • Using the smile calculation software, the dentist creates a live visual preview for the patient, who can test the effect of the new smile in advance without any intervention.

The finished smile design is not just a retouched image, but also a guarantee that the restoration will be made according to the chosen smile:

  • With the optimal height of veneers and porcelain crowns, it helps create a balanced bite and a harmonious face.
  • It is essential for quickly shaping and redesigning the external features of crowns (edges, cusps, contours).
  • Choosing from hundreds of tooth shapes, we can create a 100% tailor-made smile.
  • Whether it is an all-on-6 or an implant-supported full-arch bridge for complete tooth loss, we can start planning with the step that matters most to the patient: the aesthetic design.
  • The patient approves the design, and we take care of the quality of the restoration!

The smile design process in 5 steps

Before any major procedure, the very first step is a specialist consultation and a dental assessment. The dentist will also request a digital panoramic X-ray to map the current condition of the teeth. This is followed by the smile design consultation:

  • We can outline our ideas.
  • We can discuss our ideas, our goals and how extensive a treatment we have in mind.
  • This is where any photos we bring, such as smiles of models, can be used as a guide to finding the ideal tooth shape.

Try on your future smile, just like a new outfit!

  • With a few simple clicks, the professional smile designer shows, as if retouching a photo, how we will look with our new teeth!
  • A particular advantage of the smile design software is that we can view up to 10 different variations in just a few minutes.
  • With a professional app and a dentist who specialises in smiles, there is no need to fear disappointment, and we can finally see the result on our own face.
  • The aim of smile design is to reshape the smile, taking into account the proportions of the face and teeth, so that it meets all professional requirements.

Recommended for you

  • Rethinking the smile because of protruding teeth
  • Case study with before and after photos
  • Result: a confident appearance and an elegant smile

This is how the smile design consultation works:

1. We take your photos with the app, which automatically positions them to the optimal head posture.

2. As soon as the photo appears on the design interface, the smile is ready to be redesigned by a dentist experienced in aesthetics.

3. If necessary, we can also integrate your CT scan into the software, so we can even create a 3D image of the new smile.

4. The finished designs are immediately visible in excellent image quality, and you can take this smile portfolio of digital photos home with you.

WHAT’S MORE, YOU CAN TRY IT ON AND TEST THE EFFECT IN REAL LIFE!

5. Using a 3D printer, the dental technician can also make a mock-up of the chosen smile, which is tried on over the teeth. This way, the effect of the smile template can be tested immediately, before any intervention takes place!

Creating the new smile

  • Once the designs are approved and sent on, we can immediately order the dental laboratory production of the porcelain veneer or crown.
  • The new tooth shape is made exactly according to the design: the transformation gives us the most lifelike restoration possible, which fits the shape and proportions of the lips and face perfectly.
