Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way. With the advancement of technology and new techniques, it has revolutionized the way we think about smile design. Digital Smile Design (DSD) and a consultation with Dr. Kelley Mingus is the latest option and it has made incredible strides towards improving the look of your smile.
Dr. Kelley Mingus is a renowned cosmetic dentist with decades of experience in the field. His practice is located in Bend, Oregon and Burns, Oregon. He has worked with thousands of patients from all around the world to create the perfect smile for them.
What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a new technique that allows Dr. Kelley Mingus to precisely plan and design a new smile for a patient. This is done with the aid of digital tools, such as 3D renders and photographs, that help him envision the perfect smile.
DSD is also a multi-disciplinary approach that places a special emphasis on designing the perfect shape, color and texture of the teeth and the surrounding soft tissue. It also factors in the shape of the jaw, facial features, and the age and sex of the patient.
How Does Digital Smile Design Work?
The process of designing the perfect smile begins with a consultation with Dr. Mingus. During the visit, he will take photographs and scans of the patient’s teeth, gums, and jaw. These scans are then used to create a 3D model of the smile that can be virtually tweaked and adjusted to perfection.
Once the 3D model is complete, Dr. Mingus and the patient will sit down together to discuss the design and make any necessary adjustments. The final design may include changes in color, shape, texture, and even the directions in which the teeth are pointed.
Advantages of Digital Smile Design
The benefits of DSD are numerous. One of the biggest is that it allows a patient to see what their smile will look like prior to any work being done. This can help the patient to feel more confident that they are making the right choice and be on board with the new design.
DSD also allows Dr. Mingus to make digital adjustments to the smile design without breaking the patient’s bank. He can make virtual adjustments to the design in real-time, and the patient can see the updated smile almost instantly. This allows the patient to make any necessary adjustments to the design before it is sent to the lab for fabrication.
The final product of DSD is also much more predictable than traditional methods of design. This is because digital tools are used to create the design, and these tools allow for greater accuracy and precision. This means that the final product is much more likely to match the patient’s initial vision.
Conclusion
Digital Smile Design with Dr. Mingus is revolutionizing cosmetic dentistry by enabling him to precisely plan and design a patient’s new smile. This is achieved through the use of digital tools such as 3D renders and photographs. The result is a much more predictable and accurate design that is much more likely to match the patient’s initial vision. Patients of Dr. Mingus can now be confident that they are making the right choice when it comes to their new smile.
