This fully digital workflow combines high-resolution intraoral scanning, 3D facial analysis, and CAD/CAM restorations to deliver more accurate aesthetic planning, faster turnaround, and improved patient satisfaction. Want a preview of your new smile before any drilling? Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale now uses Digital Smile Design to show you a photographic and 3D mockup of your future smile, speed up treatment timelines, and reduce guesswork — all while aiming for more natural-looking, longer-lasting results.

What’s new

•Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale has integrated an end-to-end DSD workflow that captures digital photographs, intraoral scans, and facial reference images to create a patient-specific smile plan and lifelike before/after previews. Evidence shows that DSD-based planning significantly improves clinical planning and patient communication compared with conventional methods.

•The clinic’s chairside CAD/CAM capability enables in-office fabrication of many restorations, shrinking treatment timelines for single-unit restorations and many aesthetic cases from weeks to a single visit in appropriate cases. Studies comparing digital chairside workflows to conventional lab workflows report substantial time savings and greater time efficiency.

Why this matters to patients

•Faster results: Digital workflows and chairside milling can reduce overall treatment time substantially for many restorations, allowing faster completion of aesthetic smile makeovers.

•Preview before treatment: Patients receive visual mockups (2D and 3D) that set realistic expectations and guide minimally invasive choices — increasing satisfaction and reducing the likelihood of revisions. Recent clinical assessments report higher satisfaction scores with DSD-planned treatments.

•Precision and durability: Digital design combined with modern restorative materials (e.g., lithium disilicate, zirconia) enhances fit and can improve long-term clinical outcomes when used appropriately.

Market context & patient demand

The cosmetic dentistry market continues to expand rapidly as demand for aesthetic dental services grows; market research estimates the global market exceeded tens of billions in value and is projected to continue strong growth driven by digital workflow adoption and patient demand for quicker, customized results. Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale’s Digital Smile Design response directly addresses these patient expectations.

Safety & ethical practice

Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale emphasizes licensed, dentist-led care. Patients should be cautious of low-cost providers and unlicensed operators on social platforms who may offer “quick veneers” without appropriate clinical oversight — outcomes can be harmful. The practice follows ADA recommendations for ethically delivered cosmetic care.

“Digital Smile Design changes the conversation with patients — instead of imagining results, they see them,” said the Practice Director at Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale. “Our Dr. Brittain workflow helps us design natural, conservative solutions, shortens the treatment journey for many patients, and improves predictability. That means happier patients and fewer surprises.”

Patient pathway — how DSD works at the practice

1. Consult & Photo Session: High-resolution facial and dental photos plus a clinical exam.
2. Digital Scan & 3D Planning: Intraoral scans and facial analysis are used to create a DSD mockup.
3. Preview & Consent: Patient reviews 2D/3D simulations and chooses the preferred aesthetic plan.
4. Conservative Preparation (if needed) & Fabrication: Where indicated, chairside CAD/CAM or trusted lab milling produces restorations. Turnaround can be same-week for many cases.
