DSD is a protocol, not a brand: standardised photos and video of you talking and smiling, so the design follows your lip movement, not a still image.
DSD is worth doing whenever more than two front teeth will change; for a single chip repair, skip it and book bonding directly.
DSD is a planning method, not a machine. The value is in the analysis: how much tooth your lip shows when you speak, where the midline sits against your face, how long the front teeth can be before they look artificial. The output is a drawing and a mock-up you approve, and it is credited against whatever treatment follows.
Smile design is the planning step, not a treatment on its own. The dentist analyses your face, lips and teeth from photos and X-rays, then designs tooth shape, width, length and the smile line digitally. You see the result as a preview before any tooth is touched.
The design is then made into a mock-up and tried in your mouth for a few minutes, so you can judge it in the mirror and on your phone camera. Only when you approve it do we choose the least invasive way to build it: bonding where possible, veneers or crowns where not.

What can go wrong
Every treatment has risks. Here are the honest ones, and what we do about them.
Preview vs reality
The mock-up shows shape and length accurately; final colour and translucency depend on the material chosen. We show shade samples on your teeth too.
Over-design
A dramatic design can mean cutting healthy teeth. We flag when a design needs veneers or crowns and offer a more conservative version.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- Keep the preview photos to compare after treatment
- Decide without pressure; the design stays on file
- Whitening first if you want a lighter shade before bonding
The design is a plan; its lifespan is that of the treatment built from it (bonding 5–8 years, veneers 10–15).
Questions patients ask
What does Digital Smile Design cost in Turkey?
The design fee is quoted per case after your photos are reviewed and credited against treatment; you receive a written price before you book.
How long does DSD take?
About 60–90 minutes in the clinic after remote photo analysis; the mock-up try-in adds 20 minutes the same or next day.
Is DSD the same as Invisalign or veneers?
No. DSD is planning software and a mock-up; the treatment that builds the design can be bonding, veneers, aligners or whitening.
Is DSD the same as a 3D scan?
No. Our design is built from photographs, X-rays and video. A scanner is one way to capture teeth, not a requirement for designing a smile, and we do not claim equipment we do not use.
Can I get the design without booking treatment?
Yes. You receive the preview and the tooth-by-tooth plan, and you are free to take them elsewhere. The fee is only credited if you treat with us.
Is Digital Smile Design a treatment?
No. It is the planning and preview stage. The treatment is whatever builds the design: composite bonding, veneers, crowns, whitening or gum contouring.
Can I do the design remotely?
The analysis starts from your photos and video, and we can share a preliminary design before you fly. The photos and mock-up need one visit.
What does DSD cost in Turkey?
It is quoted per case at Auradentis and credited against any treatment you go ahead with; you receive the written price before you book.
Will it push me toward veneers?
The opposite: with the design in hand we choose the least invasive way to build it, which for most people is bonding.
