Digital Smile Design in Edinburgh
Cosmetic dentistry goes wrong when it's done one tooth at a time without a plan. Digital smile design is the plan: photographs and a 3D scan of your teeth are used to design the shape, proportions and shade of the new smile in relation to your whole face — on screen, before anything is done. At City Dental Care on Earl Grey Street it's how bonding, veneers and combined treatments start, so the result you see is the result you agreed to.

How It Works
Photographs and a 3D scan:
Of your teeth, your smile and your face - the proportions of a good smile depend on the face it sits in, not on the teeth alone.
The design:
Tooth shapes, lengths, symmetry and shade are designed digitally over your own photographs. You see it, and you change it - this is a conversation, not a reveal.
The trial smile (where appropriate):
For bonding and veneer cases the design can be placed over your teeth as a temporary mock-up, so you see it in your own mouth before anything is prepared.
The plan and price:
Which treatments achieve the design - often the least invasive combination, such as alignment and whitening before bonding - with a written, itemised price.
Why Design Before Treating
- You see it first. Cosmetic treatment on the front teeth is hard to undo; the design stage is where changes are easy to make.
- Less treatment, often. Planning the whole smile frequently shows that aligners plus whitening plus a little bonding gets there with less intervention than veneers on every tooth.
- The team works from one plan. Dentist, ceramist and you are all looking at the same design.
- The price is the price. Itemised in writing before anything starts, with 0% finance available.
