Smile designing is a cosmetic dental procedure that modifies the present and corrects teeth shape, shade, proportions and relation to lips and gums and drastically improves your dental health and appearance. The smile-designing procedures can be classified under the following categories: Basic cosmetic dental procedures - scaling & oral prophylaxis, tooth whitening, tooth-colored restorative procedures, dental bonding, veneers, and dental jewelry.

The smile makeover usually lasts very long if oral health is properly maintained. If you want the results to be permanent then you have to visit the dentist for a regular checkup and maintain proper oral health. One of the biggest limitations of DSD is that it is usually more expensive. The cost of creating the ideal smile for your facial structure and characteristics is a higher cost to the dentist. This means that DSD treatment usually costs more than a dental practice that doesn't use DSD.
