A Digital Approach To Cosmetic Dentistry: Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a revolutionary technology that helps the field of cosmetic dentistry. During the planning phase, it helps map out the treatment better, resulting in better results.
By using high-resolution 3-D images and video, this technology can replicate your new smile on a computer screen. The dentist can then design your smile on the screen and make changes with the click of a mouse. During this process, patients are active in their smile makeover process.
Benefits of Digital Smile Design:
- Better communication between dentists and patients

Cosmetic Dentistry FAQs
Learn more about cosmetic dentistry in Calgary, AB with answers to these common questions:
Is dental bonding permanent?
No. Dental bonding can last a long time, but it is not permanent. This cosmetic procedure generally lasts three to ten years. The composite material that the dentist uses to bond teeth wears down over time, so you will need to come in for a touch-up at some point.
Does it hurt when getting dental veneers?
No. Most patients report very little to no pain during and after the procedure, because we numb the teeth before treatment. You will not feel pain when you get veneers.
Is a dental implant procedure painful?
Dental implant surgery is a minor surgical procedure. Oral surgeons perform the procedure with local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth implant site. As a result, most people do not experience significant pain during the procedure. However, some people may experience discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure.
The level of discomfort after the procedure can vary from patient to patient. Some patients may only experience mild discomfort that they can manage with over-the-counter pain medication.
Other patients may experience more significant pain and discomfort. Your dentist will provide instructions on managing any discomfort you may experience after the procedure.
How long do dental fillings on teeth last?
Dental fillings can last for ten to fifteen years or more. It is important to practice good oral hygiene. You should brush and floss your teeth regularly. You should also visit the dentist every six months to ensure that your fillings last as long as possible.
Is a Botox procedure Painful?
A Botox procedure is typically not painful. Most patients say that the sensation of the injections feels like a small pinch, similar to getting an injection at the doctor’s office. The level of discomfort varies from person to person, but it is generally not a painful experience.
Can teeth whitening damage my teeth?
Teeth whitening can damage your teeth if not done correctly. There are potential risks with at-home teeth whitening kits and solutions. They don’t take into account individual factors such as tooth type and existing dental problems.
Some dentists recommend avoiding over-the-counter products altogether. Teeth whitening that a professional dentist or orthodontist provides to the public is generally the safest way to go.
