What is Digital Smile Design?

Digital Smile Design is a combination of a revolutionary philosophy with cutting-edge technology. It is used to visualise, diagnose, communicate, plan, present, and perform dental rehabilitations & smile makeovers. The smile design can be applied to cosmetic dentistry treatments such as:

  • N
    Dental Implants
  • N
    Orthodontics
  • N
    Veneers
  • N
    Crowns

Conventional dentistry practises used to involve starting a specific dental treatment as soon as possible, often without considering the end result and how the smile will eventually look like. In these instances, both the function and the aesthetics of the smile may be compromised. Without a clear visualisation and a concrete goal in mind, the smile can end up looking unattractive, or may not function was well as expected.

Digital Smile Design makes it possible for you, the patient, to co-author how your smile will look like. The power to bring your dream smile into a reality relies not only on your dentist’s hands, but in yours as well. When you are given this power and knowledge, you will feel even more encouraged and excited to push through with the treatment – compared to the uncertainty of undertaking an unfamiliar procedure.

Digital Smile Design takes into consideration much more than your teeth before any treatment is done, because realistically, other factors can make or break the beauty and proper function of your smile. Any improvements on the aesthetics and use of your teeth should also consider how the procedure will affect the way you move your mouth, the way you speak, chew food, laugh, and other actions concerning your smile. A detailed facial analysis is made to see which steps are needed to provide improvements to the entirety of the smile when it is at rest, and during various movement phases.

Digital Smile Design looks at the big picture, and is not limited to any one aspect of your smile. This way, you can be confident that the treatment will give you a smile which is both aesthetically and functionally improved.

What Are the Options for One Missing Tooth?

Three routes to replace a single tooth — only one rebuilds the root and protects the bone beneath it.

Dentures

Removable and quick to fit, but not a permanent fix. They can become loose and uncomfortable over time.

Temporary · removable

Single Tooth Implant

The only permanent, natural-looking solution. The implant replaces the tooth root, preserves the jawbone and leaves neighbouring teeth untouched.

Permanent · protects bone

Dental Bridge

Fixed in place by anchoring to neighbouring teeth. The downside: healthy adjacent teeth must be filed down.

Affects healthy teeth

Your Treatment Journey

Four simple, supported steps — from your first scan to your finished tooth.

step 4

A video is taken, as well as 3D scans of the teeth and jaws.

step 4

Your implant is placed under local anaesthetic, often in under an hour.

step 4

The laboratory designs the smile.

step 4

3D prints of the teeth are made. Dr. Dandapat then places the 3D prints onto the teeth to show you what the outcome could look like.

The i-Smile Concept

How i-Smile Single Helps With One Missing Tooth

i-Smile is a concept developed by our leading implantologist to reduce the number of appointments and time needed to fit dental implants. Treatment is completed in a maximum of seven appointments, with surgical times capped at two hours.

For a single missing tooth, we place one implant into the upper or lower jaw and fit a temporary tooth on the same day. Your permanent, custom-made tooth is fitted at a later appointment — so you’re never left with a gap.

Benefits of Digital Smile Design

N

More predictable aesthetic planning

DSD makes it possible for both dentists and patients alike to have a clear idea of how the smile will look like, even before the treatment can begin. With this clear visual in mind, predictability of the appearance of the smile is significantly increased. Images can easily be manipulated as needed, to aid in the planning of how the smile will appear upon completion of the treatment.

N

Patient empowerment

Digital Smile Design gives the patient the power to be a co-designer in what the smile will ultimately look like. The patient’s, personality, desires, and goals are taken into consideration during treatment planning, and will be used to craft the perfect smile as an end result.

N

Increased patient confidence and case acceptance

It is challenging to accept something that seems too complicated and unfamiliar. DSD increases patient confidence to go through the treatment, armed with a clear visualisation of what the smile will look like after the procedure.

N

Simplified evaluation of data

Digital Smile Design simplifies the information obtained through cephalometric analysis, which is the analysis of the relationships between the dental and skeletal structures in the head.

What Our Patients Say

w Q.
I cannot praise enough the staff at The Dental Implant Centre. From Annalise, Felicia and Ania. They made me feel at ease and I know I am being cared for from the moment i walked in. The actual dentistry itself is truly a masterclass. Every consideration is taken and i know I am in the hands of professionals. Dr Ania is exemplary and has provided the best dental care I’ve received — highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist!
Sam M.
Following a review of my current upper jaw teeth alignment Dr Dandpat strongly recommended a couple of implants on my left-handside to ensure a balanced chewing process and also to improve the longevity of the upper right-handside. This treatment was then undertaken last week by a team who demonstrated a very high degree of professionalism and competence in completing the task. The supporting clinical members of the team were also caring and attentive in providing all information prior to and at the end of the treatment. So, overall the complete treatment process was very reassuring and comfortable.
Lorna O.
Thank you to all the implant team for my 2 new teeth, I love them !
The journey has been quite a seamless one and I certainly wasn’t expecting it to be so simple and easy.
Very professional whilst very friendly and great to talk to making you feel at ease.
All in all I would definitely recommend having implants and definitely at Twyford Implant Centre . Thank you all.
David H.
I have been attending Twyford Dental and Implant Centre for more than two decades. I have had excellent general dentistry and a fair few dental implants. My most recent general dentistry and restorative work was carried out by Luis Manuel Estrada Nogueira Franco Pita.

Luis' attention to detail and his method of executing his work is comforting and yields a very good result.

Avik Dandapat runs the Implant Centre and I have always been impressed by his attention to detail, the results achieved and the preventative measures that have helped my dental health over the years. I believe I may need another implant soon and I shall be very pleased to have it done by Avik and his very skilled and competent team.
Ryan C.
Outstanding Implant Specialist! had to get three dental Implants for missing teeth and after a consultation and X-ray the team set me a clear plan going forward, everything ran so smoothly from the surgery right through to the crowns being fitted.
DR Avik is an absolute perfectionist and has an amazing team around him, Twyford Dental Implant Centre is a very warm welcoming yet very professional surgery.
I Highly Recommend

I have started and finished my treatment with them and I can they were amazing. From the 1st point of contact up to the final appointment. I did an 1 implant and all went smooth. They were patient, attentive, friendly and cautious. A decision to do an implant is not easy due to price and so many steps and also because it involves surgery. The process itself is not quick. But Dental Implant Centre have taken care of me throughout the journey, a bif thank you to Ania and Felicia. I truly recommend and would do it again with them (hopefully not 😂). All the staff were amazing, and I'm glad I can smile again with confidence 😊.
Simon H.
I cannot recommend this implants hygiene cleaning service highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in expert hands. The team was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly warm and welcoming — which made a world of difference.

The cleaning itself was thorough yet gentle. I was impressed by how much care was taken to ensure that every part of my implants and surrounding gums were treated with precision. The hygienist explained each step of the process, answered all my questions, and even gave me personalized tips on how to maintain cleanliness between visits.

After the session, my mouth felt amazingly fresh, and I noticed an immediate improvement in how clean everything felt. It’s clear that they use top-of-the-line tools and techniques specifically tailored for implants — not just a generic cleaning.

If you’ve invested in dental implants, this kind of specialized hygiene care is essential, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with mine. This place sets the gold standard in implant care — professional, caring, and results you can feel. Thank you for helping me protect my smile!
Doctor Avik and his team are the best,Aga Holmes.
Hussein A.
I recommend to Dental Implant Centre in Twyford by my mother after an unfortunate accident which damaged and cracked both front teeth. Dr Avik Dandapat and this talented team took excellent care of me and made the treatment experience as comfortable and easy as possible. He is a true pioneer in dentistry and provides world class service to his clients with the upmost respect and care. Felicia was very helpful and assure me every step of the way and offered the best advice for achieve the best outcome. The communication from reception was clear and very well done by Annalise. I couldn’t recommend this dental practice more. Thank you for fantastic service, it was an absolute pleasure!
Marzena Z.

**A Flawless Fit, Thanks to 3D Printing!**

I was blown away by the incredible work done at Twyford Dental Implant Centre. The use of 3D printing technology to create my crown was truly impressive. The crown fit perfectly and looks absolutely natural. The entire process from printing the crown to fitting it was quick, efficient and painless, and the staff was incredibly professional and caring. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of dental implants or other restorative procedures.
Steve G.
Dr Avik Dandapat is a leader in his field and exhudes confidence which as a patient is what you want to see. He is ably assisted by Felicia who put me at ease before the procedure answering all of my questions. The practice uses all of the latest technology to ensure that the implant procedure goes without issue. The implant installation itself was totally painless and a tempory crown was also fitted. Only a slight discomfort for a day or so afterwards but nothing a paracetomal didn't resolve. A nice touch was Felicia giving out her mobile in case of any issues 24/7. In summary I would highly recommend and the process was far quicker and less traumatic than I expected.
David W.
My wife Trish recently had to have all of her top teeth removed and replaced with a full arch and implants. Avik and his whole team from his receptionist to his dental colleagues were very professional and carried out the procedure in an extremely friendly manner. Trish would highly recommend the Twyford implant Centre.
Richard B.
I needed a dental implant some 10 years ago and on recommendation, arranged an appointment with the Dental Implant Centre at Twyford. Then only recently, I needed two more dental implants and did not hesitate to make a further appointment. The quality of the work is first class, Avik is an expert in his field.
Rafiq G.
7 year update or longer, I forget!*** Aviks implant is still perfect. Not a single issue. Every dentist that has seen it said its perfect.***

Had an implant and have regular checkups here. Avik is a professional and always explained the whole process at every stage. At no point was I unsure of the abilities of the staff here. My needs have always been met and have been given honest advice regarding my teeth at all times.
Beau R.
I recently had a new tooth installed at Dental Implant Centre Twyford and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the whole process. They explained everything clearly and answered all my questions patiently. The procedure was painless and quick, and the implant looks and feels natural. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who needs dental implants.
The whole process took a few months, but it was well planned and communicated at all times. I had regular check-ups and consultations with the dentist, who made sure that everything was going smoothly and that I was comfortable with the treatment plan. The clinic also provided me with clear instructions and advice on how to take care of my implant and oral hygiene. I felt well supported and cared for by the team. They really went above and beyond! 😊
Sarah W.

I have had an implant and 2 dental crowns fitted but you wouldn’t know , they were done so well and have given me such confidence! I can’t thank this amazing team enough! 😀
Altin H.
I have done two implants with the Dental Implant Centre and planning on another two. It was a great experience from the planning to the follow up after the implants were in place.
Avik makes the whole process feels easy as an advanced skilled specialist would.
Looking forward to the new implants.
William C.
Having had a back molar removed and replaced with an implant which looks and feels amazing, the service that I received from inception to conclusion was, friendly, positive and professional in a top quality state of the art practice. To anyone who requires dental surgery I highly recommend that you visit, Dr Avik Dandapat at the Dental & Implant Centre Twyford. I will certainly use them again.
lyndon sean P.
Avik has placed implants for all my top teeth and 2 at the bottom.
I am over the moon with all the work carried out. My teeth are as perfect as I could have wished for. Absolutely first class.
Sue B.
Stage one of implant complete, great experience, no pain and everything explained fully. Thank you Ania.
Lee G.
I have had problems with my teeth for most of my life, mainly due to the fear of going to the dentist.

My treatment was implants to my upper and lower. As you can imagine I was very nervous just at the thought of having it done.
From the very start of meeting Avik and the team I was put at ease, welcoming, professional, and easy-going are a few words that I can say.

‘second to none’ thank you Avik and the team for putting a great smile on my face.
Noel E.
Avik and the team from Twyford Dental Practice are the best Implant Centre in the country. They utilise the latest equipment to minimise cost and rework and time sat in the chair. I would highly recommend them and will use them always for any future dental work I require. NE
