Smile planning before treatment
What Is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design is a planning process that maps out your new smile before any treatment starts. We take photographs and digital scans, then design each tooth on screen around your facial proportions and the way your teeth come together. That design becomes a trial smile we print in our office and snap over your teeth, so you can see and wear the result. Adjustments happen at that stage, while the design is still on a screen.
- Wear your new smile before committing to treatment
- Used for veneers, crowns, and full reconstruction cases
- Your trial smile is complimentary, with no obligation

See Your Smile Ahead
Benefits of Digital Smile Design
Changing your smile can feel like a major decision when the result exists only in a conversation. Our Digital Smile Design process makes it a shared experience, letting you preview and wear a complimentary trial smile before treatment. You can tell us what feels authentic, refine the design with us, and move forward with confidence in your choice.
Know What You're Choosing
Before committing to treatment, you can see a version of your planned smile on your own face. That makes an abstract promise more tangible, helping you decide whether the direction feels right before the final plan moves ahead.
Smile More Freely
Photos, introductions, and everyday conversations can feel more natural when you are not second-guessing your smile. A design that reflects your goals may help you participate more openly at work, with friends, and during family moments.
Keep Your Look Authentic
Your smile can be planned to complement your facial features rather than follow a one-size-fits-all look. That personalized direction helps the final result feel balanced, believable, and connected to the way you want to present yourself.
Shape The Result Together
Seeing a preview gives you something concrete to respond to, instead of relying on imagination alone. You can share what feels right and what you would change, helping the plan reflect your preferences before treatment begins.
Bring Your Goals Into Focus
When several concerns affect your smile, a unified plan can bring them into better coordination. That may make the path ahead easier to understand and help each part support a more complete overall result.
Create A Harmonious Smile
Considering tooth proportions, facial balance, and how your bite fits together can support a smile that feels harmonious in daily life, not just attractive in a single photograph.

How Your Smile Is Designed Before Treatment
Digital Smile Design makes a big decision feel more manageable by replacing guesswork with a visual plan shaped around your features and goals. Seeing what is possible before treatment can help you feel more confident, prepared, and in control of your smile journey.
1
Share Your Smile Goals
Your experience begins with a relaxed conversation about what you want to change and how you want to feel when you smile. We capture high-resolution photos, digital impressions, and any imaging your case requires. You have time to ask questions and share concerns before your personalized design takes shape.
2
Try on Your Design
Your new smile appears on screen, shaped to complement your facial features, tooth proportions, and goals. Then, a complimentary snap-in trial smile lets you see it in the mirror, in photos, and in daylight. You can talk, smile, and share what feels right or what you would change.
3
Approve Your Smile Plan
Your feedback guides refinements before any tooth is prepared. Once the design feels right to you, it becomes the blueprint for recommended veneers, crowns, or full reconstruction. You walk away with a personalized vision and greater confidence about the smile you are choosing.

Who Benefits Most From Digital Smile Design
Wondering whether Digital Smile Design fits your goals is natural when a smile change feels like a big decision. Use this self-assessment to consider whether seeing and trying a preview could make your path forward feel more personal, clear, and confident.
Planning a Personalized Smile
Several cosmetic or restorative concerns may call for a coordinated vision. Digital Smile Design lets you preview a smile shaped around your face, goals, and bite, so your treatment direction feels clear before care begins.
Reconsidering a Postponed Smile
Putting off a smile change can leave you unsure what is truly possible. With a judgment-free process, you can try on a complimentary snap-in trial smile, share what feels right, and refine the design before treatment.
Entering a Confident New Chapter
Before a meaningful new chapter, your smile may feel ready for a fresh expression. Digital Smile Design combines photos, scans, and digital planning to help you see how a customized smile could support confidence in daily life.
Does This Sound Like You?
Questioning whether you qualify is normal when your smile goals feel personal. We listen to what you hope to change, show you what may be possible, and shape the conversation around your comfort, preferences, and confidence.
- You keep putting off planning your smile changes
- A chipped front tooth keeps catching your eye in photos

Patient FAQs
Digital Smile Design FAQs
Choosing to change your smile can bring real questions about appearance, comfort, cost, and commitment. We use Digital Smile Design to help you preview your options before treatment, and we welcome you to reach out with anything these answers do not cover.
What is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design uses high-resolution photos, digital impressions, specialized software, and 3D printing to plan your smile around your facial features and goals. We evaluate tooth proportions, facial symmetry, and bite alignment, then create a customized preview before final treatment decisions are made.
Can I see what my new smile may look like first?
Yes. We create a complimentary snap-in trial smile based on your digital design. You can wear it, view it in a mirror and photos, and share what you like or want changed. Your feedback helps us refine the plan before treatment begins.
What happens during a Digital Smile Design appointment?
The process begins with a conversation about your goals, photographs, a digital scan of your teeth, and any imaging your case requires. We then design your smile on screen, create the trial smile, and use your feedback to guide the final plan.
Am I a good candidate for Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design may help if you are considering veneers, crowns, or a broader smile reconstruction. We look at your teeth, gums, bite, facial features, and goals before recommending a plan. The design process can support both focused cosmetic changes and more extensive care.
Does Digital Smile Design hurt?
The design process itself is noninvasive and does not involve preparing teeth. You may wear the complimentary trial smile for a few minutes while you speak, smile, and view it from different angles. Any discomfort related to later treatment depends on the procedures selected.
How long does Digital Smile Design take?
Timing depends on the records, design, and treatment being planned. We first gather photographs and digital impressions, then create the on-screen design and 3D printed trial smile. Your try-in visit gives you time to assess the preview before final treatment is scheduled.
How much does Digital Smile Design cost?
The cost depends on the treatment plan that follows the design, such as veneers, crowns, or full reconstruction. We review your recommendations and available payment options before treatment. The trial smile is complimentary, giving you a chance to explore the design before committing.
How is Digital Smile Design different from a regular smile consultation?
A conversation can explain possibilities, while Digital Smile Design lets you preview a proposed smile on your own face. We use digital records and a 3D printed trial smile so you can respond to the shape, proportions, and overall appearance before treatment.
What treatments can Digital Smile Design help plan?
Your design may guide veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, clear aligners, dental bonding, gum contouring, implants, implant bridges, or full-arch treatment. We select treatments based on your oral health, bite, facial features, and goals rather than using the same combination for everyone.
What happens after I try on my trial smile?
You tell us what feels right and what you would change. We refine the digital design based on your feedback, then use the approved design as a guide for veneers, crowns, or full reconstruction. You remain part of the decision at each stage.

She clearly takes pride in her work.Dr. Andrew Henninger is equally impressive. He’s extremely thorough and does a great job using modern technology without leaning on it as a crutch, he still does the hands-on evaluation and explains what he’s seeing. That combination is rare and it builds a lot of trust.Highly recommend this practice to anyone in the North Alabama area looking for a dentist who does it right.
