Increase Case Acceptance with Digital Smile Design
Digital Smile Design helps you carefully plan and show patients a preview of their new smile before any actual dental work is done.
With Digital Smile Design, you can effectively communicate treatment outcomes to your patients and increase case acceptance.
Utilizing these tools correctly will build trust and enhance patient communication.
Help Your Patients Visualize Your Treatment Plan
Do you struggle to close cosmetic cases?
Is effectively communicating treatment outcomes or setting realistic expectations an obstacle for you?
With Digital Smile Design, you can visually convey the outcome to the patient which helps the patient understand the treatment you are proposing.
This results in a much higher case acceptance rate, more confidence for you and your patient, and realistic expectations.
There are also significantly less redo's when using Digital Smile Design, because the patient understands the treatment from the outset.
Benefits of Digital Smile Design
Greater Patient Communication
DSD utilizes digital visualization tools to showcase proposed smile makeovers, allowing patients to better understand and provide input on their desired outcomes, improving communication and increasing case acceptance.
Comprehensive Treatment Planning
DSD helps you to consider various aspects such as tooth positioning, gingival esthetics, and facial harmony, resulting in a comprehensive and harmonious smile design.
Predictable Patient Outcomes
By virtually planning the entire treatment process, DSD enables dentists to achieve highly predictable and accurate results, minimizing the risk of errors or dissatisfaction with the final outcome.
Collaboration and Case Presentation
Digital Smile Design facilitates seamless collaboration among dental professionals, as well as effective case presentation to patients, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned with the proposed treatment plan.
Better Treatment Efficiency
The digital workflow of DSD streamlines the treatment process, reducing the number of appointments and chair time required, leading to increased efficiency and productivity for the practice.
Reduce The Amount of Redos
Digital Smile Design minimizes the need for costly and time-consuming redos by enabling you to plan and visualize desired outcomes, reducing the risk of inaccuracies or esthetic discrepancies before initiating clinical procedures.
