If you’re looking into a smile makeover, you may have difficulty imagining what your smile will look like at the end, especially if you need extensive dental work. If you’ve looked in the mirror and seen nothing but an unattractive mouth for years, picturing yourself with a mouth full of healthy teeth can be a challenge. Fortunately, with the advancements of dental technology, there are ways to help you see the future of your smile makeover.
Digital dentistry pairs advancements in materials and technology to allow dental patients to be the recipients of beautiful and natural smile makeovers. Computers can take digital models of the entirety of your mouth, including the soft tissues of the cheeks, gums and tongue. These models are created utilizing special lights that allow the computer to optically scan the mouth and send that information to a computer.
Advanced computer software can then stitch the images together to create one whole model of your mouth. This model can then be printed with a 3D printer to provide an accurate and vivid reproduction of your mouth. Your cosmetic dentist can use this same software to virtually correct your dental problems and to provide additional physical models to represent each stage of treatment and to show what will be the end result.
Some software can take photos of you smiling broadly and insert the virtual end result smile, allowing you to see what your own future smile could be. Seeing these images can help you with the encouragement to move forward with your smile makeover, and to fully anticipate and enjoy the results to come.
