Get to Know Our How it works: Digital Smile Design at Bliss Dental
Your first visit is simple and focused on data collection. We listen to your goals and desires, take photos, and create a 2D simulation for you to preview and give input.
Once the 2D plan is agreed upon, we move to the 3-dimensional design. With a digital impression of your teeth using our comfortable intra-oral scanning, our experienced team of dental specialists and lab technicians will utilize the most advanced techniques and CAD software to create your custom 3D smile design.
With your custom digital smile design completed, you can physically try on your new teeth at a future visit. This is commonly referred to as the “smile mock-up” or “smile preview.” Oftentimes, you’re able to leave wearing the mock-up to “test-drive” for several days, ensuring it not only looks right but also feels right to you and your loved ones.
