Digital Smile Design in Fort Lauderdale – Try On Your New Smile Before Treatment

A mock-up is a preview of your future smile — placed directly over your teeth without any drilling, so you can see and feel the result before committing to treatment.

Applications of a mock-up within Digital Smile Design:

  1. See the result in the mirror instantly

    At this stage, you’ll already know if you like your new smile, or whether any adjustments need to be made.

  2. You approve the details

    We offer a variety of options for the shape, length, and position of your teeth — and you choose the look you love.

  3. You can test it

    Speak, laugh, and assess both the comfort and how well your smile reflects your emotions.

  4. Safety and predictability

    An approved mock-up guarantees that the final outcome will match your expectations.

Digital Smile Design (DSD) eliminates the main source of anxiety — the unknown. You see the shape, color, and proportions of your smile in advance and know that the result will be exactly as planned.

Who is Digital Smile Design For?

Digital Smile Design is a versatile tool that allows us to plan the outcome for a wide range of treatments:

Veneers and Dental Crowns. We determine the exact shape, color, and proportions before starting any work.

Gaps Between Teeth (Diastema). We model the optimal way to close the gaps.

Orthodontic Treatment. We clearly show how the smile will change after bite correction.

Full Mouth Reconstruction. Comprehensive restoration of the entire jaw with a predictable result. DSD is used, for example, in cases involving implants or prosthetics.

Combined Treatment. We integrate orthodontics, implants, prosthetics, and aesthetics into a single, cohesive plan.

Best Dentist Ive ever been to. Great staff! I love the holistic aspect of it. I don’t feel scared that they will mess up my teeth like other dentists have in the past. My daughter also comes here and she loves it. Highly recommended!!!

FAQ

Is the DSD process painful?

No. You simply sit in the chair while the doctor takes photos, videos, and scans your teeth.

How long does the scan take?

Just 60 seconds for the scan and 10–15 minutes for photos — you’ll be able to see a 3D model of your smile in real time.

How accurate is the dental scan?

The accuracy of iTero is down to the micron. This allows for a perfect fit for veneers, crowns, or aligners in both shape and size.

Do my teeth need to be drilled for DSD?

No, DSD is only for planning. Drilling is only done during the fabrication of veneers or crowns and only where it's absolutely necessary — to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

Is DSD compatible with treatment from other specialists?

Yes. DSD is often used for comprehensive plans that involve an orthodontist, an implantologist, and a prosthodontist.
