Facially Driven Dentistry

Performing any form of cosmetic dentistry or smile rehabilitation is in many ways a lot like building your dream home. 


It's costly. 


It's time consuming. 


And it's something you have to live with for the rest of your life.  


You only get one shot at this which is why you definitely want to get it right the first time. 


To ensure you enjoy a naturally beautiful, functionally durable new smile first time, we embrace the philosophy of Facially Driven Dentistry.


What Is Facially Driven Dentistry?


In a nutshell, it's an advanced technique that references key landmarks on your face to guide the design of a new smile that harmonises in perfect balance with the rest of your face.

After all, your smile is framed by your face so it makes sense that any changes we make to your smile must complement the rest of your face. 

Because if they don't, regardless of how well the dentistry is delivered, the end result will look "off." You may not be able to put your finger on what exactly isn't right, but you'll know something is out. This then leaves you somewhat disappointed and less than confident to smile. 

So What Does Facially Driven Dentistry Actually Involve?


First off, we capture a comprehensive set of digital records which include a mini-CAT-scan of your jaws, a 3D scan of your teeth and gums, a set of portrait images taken from different angles and a video of your smile in motion. We call this smile digitisation and its the crucial first step of any smile transformation.


Next, we share your digitised smile with our specialist team of facially-driven smile designers in Madrid. After the DSD team in Madrid merges these records into one 3D record of your face and smile, together, we analyse key landmarks on your face to guide the design of a smile that's in complete balance with your face. 

 
This process begins with setting your two top front teeth precisely where they're in complete harmony with your lips, eyes and overall face. We then build-out your upper smile using tooth shapes/sizes/positions and gum-contours that balance with your facial features before finally designing your bottom teeth to harmonise with your ideal upper smile design. 


Net result - facially driven dentistry empowers us with a super accurate blueprint that ensures you'll enjoy a naturally beautiful smile that was tailor-made just for you.


So if you're self-conscious to smile or you're struggling with broken down or missing teeth, take the first step towards a happier more confident you. Give us a call today to schedule your smile digitisation.
