Computer simulation of a smile is a modern dental technology that allows you to develop a patient’s digital design before specialists start work to create it.
Digital Smile Design (DDS, or a digital smile design) is a method for planning tooth restoration using special computer modeling programs. Each patient of the “Dent-House” clinic in Odessa can see a model of his future smile and even make the desired changes to it, which will then be realized by doctors. You can make an appointment directly on the site or on the specified phones.
Advantages of technology
When installing implants and prostheses, the patient used to choose only the color of a future smile. The doctor tries to choose the color of restored teeth that is closest to the natural tone of human teeth, and is always interested in the patient’s opinion and wishes.
But the shape and size of future teeth are largely determined by the design that the technician makes. And here there may be misunderstanding. Since the result does not always correspond to the ideas about the future smile that the patient had.
Considering how much dental prosthetics it costs using modern technologies, it makes sense to get the most complete understanding of what your smile will be after all the manipulations.
Modeling accuracy
Computer modeling in the Dent-House clinic in Odessa allows you to create a future smile design based on an analysis of the anatomy of the jaw system and the patient’s face.
The program allows you to take into account all the individual characteristics of the human oral cavity:
- bite;
- height and width of the teeth;
- The density of their location;
- the level of closed gums with a smile;
- lips of the lips with a smile.
The program analyzes and synthesizes into a single whole and a number of other data, such as lines of the ears, eyes and corners of the lips. In general, we are talking about two dozen parameters for modeling a smile.
Thanks to the software, the doctor receives all the necessary data for calculating and modeling a harmonious smile.
Even before the medical manipulations, the patient will be able to see his face with a new smile on the screen. Another visualization is already by means of a mirror during the installation of a silicone lining, precisely reproducing the dentition.
The possibility of correction to achieve the desired result
Using a smile modeling technology makes it possible to make changes to achieve the optimal result for the patient. Due to the availability of accurate data, the level of professional cooperation between dentists and dental techniques is also increased, and the risk of misunderstanding is reduced.
Patient participation in the process
The patient himself also actively participates in the process of creating a new smile, his wishes and reviews are correctly interpreted and implemented by doctors.
Surgical replacement
If the installed dental structure was damaged and needs to be replaced, then the presence of a saved 3D model allows to reduce the preparation time of a new design.
Clear follow by standards
Digital modeling allows you to create the most accurate and anatomically verified orthopedic constructions.
How is computer modeling of a smile in the clinic “Dent-house”
When prosthetics in dentistry, two problems must be solved:
- aesthetic – when it is required to simulate a beautiful appearance of the front teeth, which should be in harmony with the shape, size and color of the rest of the teeth;
- Functional – when it is necessary to restore chewing functions, including adjusting the bite and closing of the jaws.
The “Dent-House” clinic hosts a photo shoot in several angles, with a smile and without a smile, photos of the oral cavity, as well as radiography and computed tomography of the jaws are taken. All these data are loaded into a special program that unites them and creates a 3D dentition model.
Then the stage of coordination of the new model of a smile with the patient and the application of clarifications in the 3D model passes.
Dentists form a treatment plan, where all the necessary procedures, their cost and deadlines are sequentially indicated.
The next important stage for the patient can be called a “fitting smile”. In the laboratory of the Dent-House clinic will make a silicone model of a future orthopedic structure. This silicone construct is trying on a patient who can immediately evaluate the level of comfort when using. At this stage, it is important to pay attention to the slightest inconvenience during a smile or conversation and make all the necessary changes to the model of the design that will be established constantly.
For the manufacture of linings, veneers, structures from crowns, a special CAD/CAM equipment is used, which allows you to reproduce the parameters of the 3D model with maximum accuracy.
