Great team and always a great experience!
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a state-of-the-art diagnostic planning framework that integrates high-resolution facial photography, dynamic intraoral video captures, and advanced smile simulation software. This technology maps your physical parameters in full motion, carefully evaluating facial symmetry, lip movement vectors, gum architecture, and tooth proportions. By establishing this detailed virtual blueprint, we eliminate standard clinical surprises and enable seamless communication between you, and our master laboratory technicians. You co-design your own smile enhancements, leading to exceptional cosmetic results that integrate beautifully with your natural features.
Risk-Free Visual Previews
“At your initial Digital Smile Design consultation, we capture comprehensive photographs of your smile and natural facial structures. We then design your proposed smile modifications in real time — tracing precisely how various porcelain shapes and shades look on your face before any clinical treatment begins. You retain full control.”
Our software tracks your lip mobility lines and midline vectors. This ensures your final smile looks like an authentic, natural enhancement of your features, never a generic template.
Want to see a slightly rounded tooth edge or preview a softer white gradient? We adjust the digital shapes and shade densities right in front of you until you fall in love with what you see.
Your approved virtual simulation becomes the definitive hard copy blueprint for our ceramic technicians. The smile you approve on screen is identically mirrored by your restorations.
Simulation Capabilities
Clinical Roadmap
We capture high-definition intraoral scans, full-face video logs, and macro photography at rest and in active speech. This forms the raw data matrix for your design.
Your unique vertical midline, lip lines, and dynamic bite forces are cross-analyzed. Dr. Luke Zortman crafts your custom 3D smile proposal within the DSD platform.
We present your 3D transformation on our large chairside monitors. We explore adjustments in real time, and no treatment moves forward until you approve the design.
Your approved virtual simulation generates an exact laboratory treatment map, which guides every subsequent clinical step with total predictability.
Digital simulation software is only as good as the clinician behind it. Dr. Piontek combines technical DSD training with an artistic eye to design restorations tailored to your features.
We believe in absolute treatment autonomy. You can review your virtual smile design proposal, ask questions, and take all the time you need to decide — with zero obligation to proceed.
From initial 3D scans and facial analysis to your final porcelain veneer bonding, your entire cosmetic transformation is managed under one roof by our single core team.
Great team and always a great experience!

Matthews Family Dental is great! My kids have gotten BRACES from Dr. Matthews and their smiles are looking great!
Remarkably accurate. Because the software renders simulations using precise structural measurements of your real teeth and facial midline vectors, the final ceramic restorations match what you approved on screen very closely. Minor, natural individual texture variations are standard.
Absolutely not. The initial DSD session is entirely a design, exploration, and clinical evaluation appointment. You can review your 3D transformation proposal, ask questions, and adjust details with no obligation whatsoever to move forward into active treatment phases.
We incorporate DSD software to plan porcelain veneers, full smile makeovers, custom porcelain crowns, composite bonding architectures, and laser gum re-contouring parameters. Any cosmetic alignment or shade modification benefit from this advanced virtual staging.
The direct planning and 3D simulation fee varies based on case scope. At our practice, this diagnostic fee is typically credited straight toward your restorative treatment balance if you choose to move forward with active care. We provide a completely clear fee summary at your visit.
