Digital Smile Design[edit]

Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a dentistry company that provides dental education, interdisciplinary treatment planning services, dental laboratory services and a global dental clinic network for dentists and dental clinic owners worldwide.

Company[edit]

Digital Smile Design operates in four areas of activity.

As an education provider, it delivers dental education courses for dentists and dental professionals. Its DSD Residency 1 and Residency 2 programs offer American Dental Association Continuing Education Recognized Provider (CERP) credits through Big Sky Seminars, an ADA-CERP Recognized Provider.[1]. Digital Smile Design operates a global dental treatment planning center in Madrid, Spain, the DSD Planning Center[2][3], which provides diagnostics, interdisciplinary treatment planning and smile design services for dentists worldwide. It offers dental laboratory services, manufacturing dental appliances and prostheses that enable dentists to implement interdisciplinary treatment plans for patients.

The company also delivers education and marketing support for dental clinics that have completed training to become certified in the Digital Smile Design concepts and join its official DSD Clinics network[4]. Digital Smile Design is headquartered at the DSD Planning Center in Madrid, Spain.

Concepts[edit]

The Digital Smile Design methodology was developed by Christian Coachman "as a multi-use conceptual tool that can support diagnostic vision, improve communication, and enhance treatment predictability, by permitting careful analysis of the patient's facial and dental characteristics that may have gone unnoticed by clinical, photographic or diagnostic cast based evaluation procedures" [5]. These concepts are taught to dentists on the company's educational courses and implemented for patients in the network of certified DSD Clinics.

Digital Smile Design teaches dental professionals six steps of the modern digital dental workflow:

1. Patient digitalization[6]

2. Cloud dentistry[7]

3. Treatment simulation[8]

4. Patient presentation[9]

5. Guided Dentistry[10]  

6. Quality control[11]  

The Digital Smile Design concepts facilitate the process of designing a smile that is driven by the patient's unique facial and dental parameters to achieve esthetic and functional outcomes. These concepts provide dentists with protocols for the structured analysis of the patient's current smile through photos and videos. Using dental software, dentists make alterations to the patient's teeth digitally before beginning treatment in the patient's mouth. This digital design guides the selection of the dental treatments that will rehabilitate the patient's smile[12].

The digital simulation of the patient's smile is used to enable patients to understand and visualize the dental treatment before it begins. Patients can participate in the process of designing their smile to customize the outcome of their dental treatment before undergoing any procedure[13][14]. Using 3D-printing technology, this digital design is turned into a temporary model that fits over the patient's existing teeth and demonstrates the esthetic appearance of the design.

History[edit]

The first Digital Smile Design course was organized in 2009 and the company was officially founded in São Paulo, Brazil in 2012 by Christian Coachman (DDS, CDT) and Livio Yoshinaga[15][16].

In 2014, DSD partnered with Nemotec to incorporate the DSD design and planning concepts into a 3D software[17].

In 2014, DSD opened the DSD Planning Center in Madrid, Spain to provide diagnostics, treatment planning and smile design services.

In 2017, a collaboration between DSD and Align Technology led to the inclusion of DSD's facially driven smile design protocols inside the digital workflow for the Invisalign® clear aligner system[18][19].  

DSD has been an official partner of Align Technology since 2019, which led to the integration of DSD and Align Technology's iTero Element® intraoral scanning systems[20].

The company announced official partnerships with Digital Dentistry Society[21] and XO CARE in 2020[22]. In February 2021, DSD became a Gold Sponsor of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry[23].

The invention of Digital Smile Design was recognized as a theoretical milestone in the restorative era of dentistry[24].
