Smile Design Dental Workflow: From Scan to Delivery

Discover the six-step digital dentistry workflow — integrating intraoral scanning, AI-driven design, CAD/CAM milling, and 3D printing for seamless smile design dentistry.

Intraoral & Facial Data Capture

High-resolution intraoral scanners and facial cameras collect precise 3D models of teeth and soft tissues.

Proper angulation and soft-tissue retraction ensure no margin is missed — laying the foundation for predictive treatment planning and digital smile design.

AI-Enhanced Virtual Design

AI algorithms analyze facial proportions and dental anatomy to suggest optimal tooth shapes, shade gradients, and smile arcs.

Clinicians refine these proposals in CAD software, aligning esthetic goals with functional requirements for zirconia crowns, bridges, or veneers.

Digital Mock-Up & Patient Approval

Interactive virtual smile simulation overlays the proposed design on patient photos.

Real-time adjustments boost case acceptance, letting patients “see before they do” and sign off on their new smile digitally — reducing chair time and anxiety.

CAD/CAM Fabrication & 3D Printing

Approved designs export as STL files for milling and printing:

  • Milling multi-layered zirconia crowns and bridges with sub-50 µm accuracy
  • 3D Printing prototype models, surgical guides, and try-in provisionals in biocompatible resin

This hybrid approach maximizes fit and esthetics while streamlining production.

Finishing & Quality Control

Technicians hand-finish restorations — staining, glazing, and polishing to match digital shade maps.

Layered QC checks (dimensional, colorimetric, and fit) guarantee every crown and veneer meets strict smile design dentistry standards.

Chairside Delivery & Follow-Up

Final restorations arrive ready for minimal adjustment seating.

Tele-dentistry follow-ups monitor integration and patient satisfaction, completing the eco-friendly, fully digital workflow from scan to smile.

Key Takeaways

  • six-step workflow integrates scanning, AI design, CAD/CAM, and 3D printing.
  • Virtual mock-ups and patient approvals boost case acceptance and reduce anxiety.
  • Precision milling and rigorous QC ensure predictable, esthetic outcomes.
  • Tele-dentistry follow-ups finalize the seamless digital dentistry experience.
