Throughout the years, there have been countless advancements in the dental health industry, ranging from the techniques used in diagnosing and treating patients to the materials used to implement those treatments. However, no advancement has had such an impact on the history of dentistry as the development of digital dentistry.
Digital dentistry design is based on a facial analysis and measurements of the patient’s dental proportions. Photographs of a patient’s smile are used to evaluate the relationship between teeth, gums, lips, and facial characteristics.
Usually, dentists are not professional photographers, and patients are not professional models; hence, sometimes, obtaining a specific photograph can be very challenging.
Therefore, we have to use tools such as video recording to complement the photography method. By implementing videos, we can obtain an accurate smile model in which the patient’s movements and natural expressions are perfectly captured.
Digital Smile Design allows patients to become co-designers of their treatment. This technology will enable them to express their desires and expectations to the dentists themselves.
Moreover, the interaction between the patient and the dentist is improved thanks to the photos and videos taken during the consultations. This means the restoration results align with the patient’s expectations and emotional needs. This method gives us an assured path to a more natural smile.
It is very fulfilling to see the possibility of how a smile can change someone’s life, but most importantly, to see how the patients go from smiling simply from their lips to smiling with their eyes, which ultimately reflects the emotion they feel in their hearts.
