When considering cosmetic dental treatments, one of the most significant concerns for patients is uncertainty about the final outcome. Will the treatment turn out exactly as expected? How will my new smile look? These are valid concerns when it comes to a life-changing procedure like cosmetic dentistry. Thankfully, advancements in dental technology now offer a solution that lets you preview your new smile before committing to treatment: Digital Smile Design (DSD) and mock-up procedures. At Postcura, we are proud to offer this innovative service to ensure that our clients feel confident, empowered, and satisfied with their cosmetic dental journey. Let’s dive into how this technology works and why it can be a game-changer for you.

Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a revolutionary approach to cosmetic dentistry that leverages state-of-the-art technology to map out and visualise the patient’s future smile. The process involves creating a digital model of the patient’s current smile and overlaying potential enhancements, such as teeth alignment, size adjustments, whitening, and even gum contouring.

This technology goes beyond just the technical requirements of the treatment. It integrates facial aesthetics, ensuring that the design is not only ideal for your teeth but harmoniously complements your face, lips, and personality. The digital designs are tailored to your preferences, allowing you and your dentist to collaborate on achieving the perfect outcome. 

At Postcura, we partner with advanced clinics that are well-versed in using cutting-edge technologies such as 3D intra-oral scanners, panoramic x-rays, and CBCT imaging to make this process accurate, smooth, and efficient.

Once the digital design is approved, the next step is creating a physical mock-up of the proposed smile. This mock-up is an actual test drive of your new look, allowing you to “try on” your future smile without committing to any irreversible changes. The mock-up is created based on the DSD model, and it provides an invaluable opportunity to see and feel how the final result will look. 

Imagine going to a clothing store and trying on a new outfit before making a purchase. That’s essentially what a dental mock-up offers, but the stakes are even higher because this is your smile! The mock-up allows you to:

Experience the look and fit of your new teeth to your face and smile.
Evaluate the aesthetic harmony between your smile and facial features.
Make any last-minute changes before the actual procedure begins.

The DSD and mock-up process delivers multiple benefits to both patients and dental practitioners:

Precision and Personalization: DSD uses precise data from advanced imaging techniques to ensure that your new smile is uniquely designed for you. From shape to shade, everything is customized.

 Enhanced Confidence: By seeing the final outcome before committing to the treatment, you can make informed decisions and feel more confident about the procedure.

Clear Communication: The process fosters collaboration between you and your dentist. You can provide feedback on what you like and don’t like about the proposed smile before the actual procedure starts, reducing the chances of disappointment later on.

Minimizing Risks: Testing the aesthetics and functionality beforehand minimizes the risk of post-treatment dissatisfaction or complications. You’re not taking a blind leap of faith.

At Postcura, our aim is to make the entire dental tourism experience smooth, safe, and successful. Here’s how we incorporate Digital Smile Design and mock-up services into our process:

 Preliminary Assessments: Our concierge service begins by connecting you with one of our UK-based partner radiology centres, where we gather all the necessary scans, images, and dental data to initiate the DSD process. These details are then shared with our carefully selected dental clinics in Turkey.

 Virtual Consultations: You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your treatment plan with a Postcura co-founder who is also a dentist. This consultation is crucial for understanding your expectations and crafting a personalized design that fits your desires.

 The Design and Mock-Up: The design and mock-up are created based on your facial structure, preferences, and dental needs. You’ll be able to see a preview of your new smile through digital images and physical mock-ups, giving you full control over the final look before treatment.

 Treatment and Aftercare: Once you’re completely satisfied with the mock-up, the treatment begins. Postcura also offers a unique complication insurance policy to ensure that any post-treatment issues are covered, giving you further peace of mind. Aftercare in the UK or Turkey is readily available through our network, ensuring that your dental health remains in top shape even after your procedure.

Postcura is not just a dental concierge service. We provide a seamless dental tourism experience that combines high-quality treatments, personalized care, and absolute peace of mind.
