Digital Smile Design: A Comprehensive Review
Authors
Anjali Yadav, Gitanjali Gupta
Abstract
The demand for aesthetic harmony in dentistry
has grown substantially over recent decades. Traditional smile design
methods-based on analog impressions and clinician judgment-often lacked
consistency, predictability, and patient involvement. Digital Smile Design
(DSD) has emerged as a transformative, digitally driven protocol that
integrates facial analysis, digital imaging, and computer-aided planning to
deliver more predictable and patient-centered smile makeovers. This review
examines the evolution of DSD, its workflow, benefits, limitations, clinical
evidence, recent technological advances (including AI), and future directions.
Evidence suggests that DSD enhances aesthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction,
and clinical communication, though challenges remain in cost, training, and
long-term outcome standardization.
