What exactly is Digital Smile Design?
A planning process, not a single treatment. Your face and teeth are photographed, scanned and analysed against proportions like your lip line and facial midline; the ideal smile is designed digitally; then the minimal combination of treatments — alignment, veneers, whitening, gum recontouring — is chosen to achieve it. You preview and approve the outcome before anything starts.
How much does a smile makeover cost in India?
The design consultation and digital mock-up run $100–$200 (credited against treatment). Complete makeovers depend on the mix: whitening + alignment $1,600–$3,500; veneers-led $1,800–$3,500; combined plans rarely exceed $5,000 — versus $15,000–$50,000 for equivalent makeovers in the US.
How many trips does a smile makeover take?
Design + veneers/whitening/gum work fits one 7–10 day trip. If alignment is part of your plan, the makeover follows the aligner journey — one main trip, remote monitoring, and cosmetic finishing on a short return visit timed to your final review.
Can I see my new smile before committing?
Yes — that's the point of the method. You get a digital preview on your own photos plus, for veneer-led plans, a physical trial mock-up placed over your teeth. Nothing irreversible happens until you've approved the look in your own mirror.
What if I don't like the design?
You iterate — shape, length, shade and character are adjustable in the design phase, which is exactly why it exists. If no version convinces you, you've spent a design fee and a scan, not a smile.
