Contact UsWhat Is Digital Smile Design?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a state-of-the-art, exclusive dental imaging technology that helps patients truly envision their smile makeover before beginning their treatments. Before DSD's inception, a patient and their dental provider could tentatively plan future dental treatments, working to achieve the best potential outcome possible. But with DSD, patients can take their smile for a test drive with this digital treatment planning software that takes facial structure into account and helps the patient and provider plan a customized smile makeover that is tailored to the physical and aesthetic goals of the patient. As the first practice in Washington, D.C. to offer this service, Washington Center for Dentistry is committed to providing patients with the smile of their dreams.
What Makes Digital Smile Design So Unique?
Unlike other digital imaging machines and software, Digital Smile Design has a multistep approach that allows providers to truly grasp the treatments needed to transform a patient's smile. In addition, it allows the provider to give the patient a 3D virtual simulation of their smile before and results after their treatment(s). Finally, DSD provides a clear directive between the patient, the provider, the dental lab, and the team that will be involved in the patient's treatment. This helps ensure a clear line of communication and that all parties are working together to achieve one goal.

How Is a Digital Smile Design Created?
Using advanced digital imaging technology, detailed images and videos of the inside and outside of a patient's mouth and face will be taken. These images will then be uploaded into the Digital Smile Design software where both the patient and dental team can assess potential outcomes and create a personalized treatment plan. There are five important standards involved in a Digital Smile Design protocol:
1. Digitization – This phase represents taking your images and videos and digitally transforming them into a 3D model for a comprehensive overview of the "starting point" of your smile makeover.
2. 3D Facial Design – During this phase, we will work together to determine what the final outcome of your smile makeover will be.
3. Digital Treatment Planning – During phase three, we will create a step-by-step treatment plan using digital models we create together.
4. Smile Test Drive – The smile test drive is an emotional phase of treatment where, using the innovative DSD technology, a patient can see images of themselves with their new smile.
5. Guided Treatment – This is where the magic happens as a member of our highly experienced dental team uses your personalized digital treatment plan to begin recreating and making over your smile.
Washington Center for Dentistry Reviews
I was in DC for a summer internship and had to make an emergency dental appointment for HORRIBLE tooth pain that basically sprang up overnight. The doctors here were able to see me same-day (and the front desk had such compassion for me!). The doctors were able to quickly diagnose my problem and refer me to a specialist for a root canal— the specialist was incredible! I also want to note that my dentist at home consistently dismissed my complaints of sensitivity and pain. The dentists at this office were able to determine within minutes that I needed a root canal! I would give more than 5 stars if I could, and will absolutely be searching for a new dentist, who is as good as the dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry, when I return home.
I really like the warm water polishing and of course the people are amazing! WCD has been my dentist for over a decade.
I have had repairs and cleanings at Washington Center for Dentistry, and every time the work has been superb, the experience flawless, and smoothly run, with an amazing finished product! Thank you, Dr Shlansky!
I’ve been to Dr Matin for two extraction and prep for a future implant. He is careful, concerned (answers all questions clearly and completely) and his work is impeccable. Best of all zero pain or discomfort after the operation- something not that common I think. Highly recommend
No one really wants to need gum grafts, but if you do need them, you want an excellent doctor to conduct the surgery. Dr. Matin is wonderful, warm, and top notch. He has done two grafts on me (five years ago; they’ve healed beautifully), and I’m scheduled for a third. Additionally, everyone in his office is so incredibly nice and helpful!
