| Summary: | The primary goal of esthetic treatment is to ensure patient satisfaction and meet their expectations of improving their facial esthetics and smile. However, some patients may have doubts regarding the irreversible nature of the treatment. In such cases, the Digital Smile Designing (DSD) technique can be employed to educate and motivate patients. DSD is a technical tool that allows digital designing and modification of a patient’s smile, enabling them to visualize the potential outcomes before the actual treatment begins. This technique facilitates visual communication and patient involvement in the smile design process, leading to predictable treatment results and higher acceptance rates. This article provides an overview of DSD in esthetic dental practice and discusses its applications, advantages, limitations, and future possibilities. |
