Digital Smile Design in Prahran

woman smiling after receiving treatment with DSD in prahranDigital Smile Design takes the guesswork out of your cosmetic dentistry treatment or orthodontic therapy. Using digital imaging and a special computer program, your dentist can create an accurate mock-up of how your smile will look after treatment.

This technology lets you make truly informed decisions about the options you’re considering before your Prahran dentist starts work.

Digital smile design is ideal before:

  • Cosmetic Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Tooth Replacement

Talk to your dentist about how Digital Smile Design works and how you’ll benefit. You may end up choosing a cosmetic option you hadn’t even considered because Digital Smile Design showed you what your smile COULD BE with a different cosmetic restoration or series of treatments.

Your Cosmetic Dentist in Prahran Awaits Your Call

We welcome your call today to learn more about this exciting technology or to schedule a consultation with our dentist.

We work with AfterPay and MediPay to help patients finance their cosmetic care.

A complete smile makeover is a highly personalised treatment plan that addresses not only cosmetic concerns, but also considers bite and tooth function. When our dentists create a treatment plan for a smile makeover, they take into consideration the patient's needs, goals, lifestyle and desire for their dental health.

Depending on their unique individual needs, most patients can finish their smile makeover in Prahran within a few weeks to 24 months. For example, a patient using porcelain crowns and veneers to restore their smile's function and aesthetics may be finished with their treatment in two to three weeks, while someone who needs veneers and orthodontic treatment will require 18 months to finish their smile. The timeline is based on the type of treatment we're performing and the complexity of your case. 

Patients with longer timelines may be able to complete their treatment in phases that better fit into their schedules and budgets. 

Booking a Consultation

Arranging an initial consultation with one of our dentists is the best way for you to determine what your treatment timeline and costs will be. You'll leave your visit with a clear understanding of your treatment needs, procedure options, timeline and fees. 

You can call our team on (03) 9510 1644 to arrange a convenient time for your booking.
