Digital Smile Design in Seoul, Korea

Plan It. Preview It. Love It—Before We Start.

What Is Digital Smile Design (DSD)?

A planning system that blends high-resolution photos, short videos, 3D scans, and facial analysis to design a smile that fits your features—then shows a preview (digital and physical mock-up) before any definitive work.

Why Choose Make Dental for DSD

  • Face-Driven Planning: We design to your facial proportions, lip dynamics, and smile arc.
  • 3D Workflow: Intraoral scanning, digital wax-ups, and guided mock-ups for predictable outcomes.
  • Minimal-Prep Philosophy: Conservative veneers or bonding when clinically appropriate.
  • Clear Communication: English-friendly team, step-by-step photos, and itemized quotes.
  • Travel-Smart Scheduling: Efficient timelines for international patients.

What Digital Smile Design Can Help With

  • Shade and shape changes for a brighter, more even smile
  • Closing small gaps (diastema) and refining tooth length/width
  • Mild alignment and symmetry concerns in the smile zone
  • Planning combined treatments (aligners → whitening → veneers/bonding → gum contouring)

Step-By-Step: Your DSD Journey

  1. Records & Interview
    Intraoral scan, photos, short videos, and a conversation about goals (brightness, length, style).
  2. Facial Analysis & Design
    We map ideal tooth proportions to your face and lip line; create a digital wax-up.
  3. Smile Preview (Mock-Up/Try-In)
    You test-drive the proposed shapes—check speech, bite, and aesthetics; we refine together.
  4. Treatment Plan & Timeline
    Conservative sequence (e.g., aligners → whitening → veneers/bonding → gum contouring).
  5. Finalization
    Adhesive protocols under isolation for durable, seamless margins; photo review and polishing.
  6. Follow-Up
    Bite check, maintenance plan, and nightguard if you clench/grind.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

  • Healthy gums and a stable bite
  • Clear goals for brightness and shape
  • Willingness to follow a phased plan if alignment is recommended first
  • International travelers who want predictability and fewer surprises

What Treatments Pair with DSD

  • Porcelain/Laminate Veneers – Ultra-thin ceramics for long-term color/shape
  • Composite Veneers (Bonding) – One-visit refinements; budget-friendlier and repairable
  • Clear Aligners – Align first for thinner, more conservative restorations
  • Professional Whitening – Brighten baseline before shade selection
  • Gum Contouring – Balance the gum line for a proportional smile

Timeline & Visit Planning

  • Design + mock-up: often 1 visit
  • Porcelain veneer plans: typically 2–3 visits total (over 1–3 weeks)
  • Composite-focused plans: can be same day in many cases
  • Aligner-first plans: several months, then finishing touches

Pricing & What’s Included

You’ll receive a transparent, itemized quote after the DSD consult. Fees depend on scope (mock-up only vs. veneers/bonding/aligners), tooth count, and complexity. Package pricing is available for multi-tooth smile designs.

Aftercare & Longevity Tips

  • Soft-bristle brushing, low-abrasive toothpaste, and daily floss/water flosser
  • Avoid biting hard objects (ice, nutshells)
  • Nightguard if you grind/clench
  • Professional cleanings every 6 months; annual veneer/bonding review if applicable

FAQs

Will my smile look “too fake”?
No—DSD is face-driven. We balance brightness and translucency to your complexion and lip dynamics for a believable result.

Do I need veneers on every tooth?
Not necessarily. Many plans treat 6–10 upper teeth depending on smile width; some add lowers for symmetry.

Can I change my mind after the mock-up?
Yes—the preview stage lets you refine shape/length before any definitive work.

How accurate is the preview?
Our mock-ups are designed to closely match the final result. Minor refinements can still be made at the bonding stage.

Is DSD only for veneers?
No—DSD also guides aligners, bonding, whitening, gum contouring, and even crowns/implants when needed.
