Dr. Anna Aller and her team at Miracle Smile Dentistry are committed to helping patients achieve the smile of their dreams. The Digital Smile Design system is one of the tools we can use to help make those dreams a reality. The Digital Smile Design (DSD) system is a groundbreaking set of protocols carefully crafted to produce high quality, personalized results. DSD allows the patient to be an active participant in their oral care treatment plan and improves communication between the dental provider, patient and dental staff.
What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design is a system of protocols that was created to enhance the process of diagnosing, communicating and planning treatments for cosmetic dentistry patients. DSD has seen world-wide acclaim in recent years as a wholistic model for dental providers who want to give their patients the most personal experience in their oral healthcare journey.
Patients will work with our dental staff to come up with a set of goals for their smile and the team will utilize the most recent technologies available to take a complete set of 3D pictures and videos of the patient’s teeth and mouth, rendering a digital model that will be used to make treatment decisions. DSD providers use intra-oral scanners to get a complete view of the mouth. The DSD system analyzes the proportions of the patient’s individual teeth and mouth, recognizes the importance of the patient’s emotions in the process and creates a completely personalized treatment plan that will yield high quality results for the patient. The DSD system allows the dental provider to get a sense of what makes your smile unique and will allow her to help you come up with the best course of action to achieve your goals.
Using specialized software, the doctor will analyze the digital model of your mouth to simulate what you can expect your smile to look like after treatment. Mock-up images will be created for the patient to approve so that they can see what the outcome will look like after treatment has been completed. Communication is valued beyond measure so you can expect to be an integral part of the decision making process at Miracle Smile.
How is Digital Smile Design Different Than Other Methods?
The specialized software utilized by the DSD system provides the dental provider with unmatched modeling techniques that can predict what the outcome of the procedure will be. Other methods may use digital modeling but the DSD system gives the dentist a complete view of the patient’s mouth and provides resources to the patient so that they will understand what the outcome will actually look like. Other methods typically do not show the patient what they can expect the outcome to look like and may end up leading to disappointment.
The emphasis on communication between dentist and patient is also something that is unique to the Digital Smile Design system. The patient’s desires and expectations are considered throughout the entire process. You will never feel out of the loop, or like your voice isn’t being heard. Our staff are incredibly passionate about communication and you will be included in the decision-making process every step of the way. The DSD system also encourages providers to take into account the impact that emotions have on how a smile is presented. This unique characteristic helps to facilitate a wholistic approach to cosmetic dentistry.
Advantages of using the Digital Smile Design System

Open Communication
You will be in constant contact with the dental staff during this process. The DSD system is designed to promote communication between the patient and dental staff. Your goals, visions, and expectations will be heard. Your emotional needs will be respected and factored into the treatment process. As treatments progress it is important to keep the staff updated on your thoughts and feelings.
Realistic Expectations
With the Digital Smile Design system, patients will be able to get a sense of what the results may look like when treatment is finished. Using the specialized software and digital modeling techniques unique to the DSD system, you will be able to see how the treatments will change your smile. This allows the patient to have a more realistic expectation during the treatment process.
