How to Make Digital Smile Design?

January 18, 2026

Today, aesthetic dentistry has undergone a great transformation with technology. One of the most important steps of this transformation is the digital smile design application. Now, patients can see how their new smile will look like in a digital environment before starting treatment and can be actively involved in the process.

Digital smile design is the analysis of teeth, gums, lips and facial features using digital technologies and creating a personalised aesthetic smile plan. Ber Dental Clinic offers personalised solutions by using advanced software and imaging systems in digital smile design applications.

Advantages of Digital Smile Design

Whereas with conventional methods the result is only visible when the treatment is finished, digital design makes the process completely predictable. The main advantages of this method are as follows:

  • The result of the treatment is shown on the digital display before the procedure starts.
  • Aesthetic planning is made in full harmony with personalised facial features.
  • The margin of error is minimised and patient satisfaction is maximised.
  • The treatment time is planned in a much more efficient and controlled manner.

Digital Smile Design Stages

Digital smile design consists of the following stages that proceed within the framework of a specific and professional protocol:

  • Initial Inspection and Analysis: The patient's oral health is evaluated and aesthetic expectations (colour, form, alignment) are listened to in detail.
  • Digital Recordings: High-resolution photographs and smile videos are taken. These recordings are used to analyse the harmony of facial aesthetics and teeth.
  • Digital Measurement (Mouth Scan): Intraoral scanners are used instead of traditional impression methods. In this way, both patient comfort is increased and the most precise measurements are obtained.
  • Design Phase: Through special software, tooth lengths, symmetry and lip line are digitally redesigned.
  • Mock-Up Application: The designed smile is applied with temporary materials in the mouth, allowing the patient to experience the new smile live.
  • Implementation: Once the design is approved, the planned procedures such as lamina, zirconium or teeth whitening are initiated.

The process and for whom is it suitable?

The planning phase of digital smile design is usually completed within 1-2 days. The application period can vary between 5 days and 3 weeks depending on the scope of the procedure. It is an ideal solution for anyone who wants to improve their aesthetic appearance and is not satisfied with their tooth colour, form or symmetry.
