Smile metamorphosis:
digital smile design
and comprehensive dental treatment

The cost of a dental makeover can vary considerably depending on a number of factors, such as:

1. Scope of treatment: The severity of the dental problems and the number of procedures needed to achieve the desired outcome affect the cost.
2. Dental specialties: The type of treatments and specialisations that are needed to transform your smile can significantly affect the final cost.
3. Individual patient needs: Some patients may require more complex procedures or have special needs, which may affect costs.

In general, a dental makeover can be an investment that includes a variety of treatments from simple ones such as teeth whitening to more complex ones such as dentures, implants or orthodontic treatment. 

The cost of a smile makeover can range from a few hundred zlotys to several thousand zlotysand can even reach much higher amounts, depending on the extent of treatment and the individual needs of the patient. It is advisable to consult with one of our specialists to get an accurate assessment and treatment plan with an estimate of costs.

The duration of a comprehensive dental treatment depends on a number of factors, including the condition of the patient's teeth, the extent of the procedures needed, coexisting oral health problems and a treatment plan tailored to the individual.

There is no definite answer to this question, as the duration of treatment can vary for each person. However, for most patients, comprehensive dental treatment can take from a few weeks to several months, and in more complex cases, up to a dozen months or more.

Treatment times can be influenced by factors such as:

1. Types and scope of procedures: Treatments can include several different areas of dentistry, such as implantology, orthodontics, prosthetics, endodontics, etc.
2. Required preparations: Sometimes preparatory stages are necessary, such as periodontal disease treatment, root canal treatment, tooth extraction or other procedures prior to further treatment.
3. Recovery process: Some procedures may require time for tissue healing, such as after implants or tooth extraction.
4. Individual patient needs: Each patient has different needs and specific cases, which can affect the length of treatment.
5. Treatment plan: The complexity of the treatment plan and the timing of subsequent appointments can increase the time taken for comprehensive dental treatment.

It is important to consult a dentist or dental aesthetics specialist who can accurately assess the condition of the mouth and create a personalised treatment plan, along with an estimate of the time it will take to achieve the desired results.

Digital Smile Design (DSD) and digital visualisation (e.g. CAD - Computer-Aided Design) are two different methods used in the dental field, especially in smile planning and design. They differ in their scope and purpose.

1. Digital Smile Design (DSD):
   • The DSD method is based on a holistic approach to smile design, going beyond the technical aspects alone.
   • DSD focuses on aesthetic, functional and emotional analysis, taking into account facial proportions, the patient's personality and aesthetic expectations.
   • It uses communication between the patient, dentist and digital technology, allowing the patient to see a visualisation of the final result and be involved in the design process of their smile.
   • DSD uses facial analysis, photographs, videos and software to virtually design the smile, taking into account individual patient characteristics.
   • An important feature of DSD is the consideration of the whole face, the harmony of the smile with the rest of the patient's physical features.
2. Digital visualisation (CAD):
   • CAD refers to a general approach using computer-based tools to design and create models using digital data.
   • In dentistry, CAD is often used to design and manufacture different types of dentures, crowns, bridges or dental implants.
   • It is a technology that is more focused on technical aspects, such as precise tooth models or the accurate manufacture of prosthetics.
   • CAD allows precise measurement and design of teeth and prostheses with high accuracy, often using 3D scanners.

To summarise: although both approaches use digital technology, Digital Smile Design (DSD) focuses on a holistic approach to smile designtaking into account the emotions and individual characteristics of the patient, while digital visualisation (CAD) focuses on technical aspectsespecially in the manufacture of precision prostheses or dental implants.

The price of the Digital Smile Design (DSD) service can vary significantly depending on the following factors:

1. Scope of service: Costs may depend on the scope of the analysis, design and implementation of the treatment plan, as well as the complexity of the patient's case.
2. Individual patient needs: Some patients may need a more complex approach, which may affect costs.

Due to these variations, prices for Digital Smile Design services can vary. These can range from a few hundred to several thousand zlotys, and in some more complex cases the costs can be even higher.

It is worth remembering that The price of the Digital Smile Design service includes a consultation, facial and smile analysis, use of specialist design software, as well as a treatment plan and visualisations, making it an investment in a comprehensive approach to smile improvement and oral aesthetics. It is important to consult your dentist or dental aesthetics specialist to get an accurate indication of the cost of Digital Smile Design in your particular case.

The guarantee for dental procedures, including those included in a smile makeover, may vary depending on the type of procedure.

In some cases, we offer a guarantee for our services, which includes, for example, the repair or improvement of any problems that may arise after the treatment, within a certain period of time. However, the guarantee does not cover natural wear and tear or damage that results from poor oral hygiene or patient behaviour that does not comply with the recommendations after the procedure.

It is important to consult your dentist for details of the warranty conditions for your particular procedure before starting treatment. Making sure you understand the warranty terms and limitations is key before making any treatment decisions.

Smile metamorphosis, which includes a variety of dental treatments to improve the aesthetics and functionality of the smile, can be carried out with minimal or no pain at all, depending on the type of procedure and the patient's individual pain tolerance.

Some procedures, such as teeth whitening, veneer application or digital visualisation (e.g. Digital Smile Design), are usually minimally invasive and can be performed without much pain. Dentists try to ensure that patients have a comfortable and pain-free experience during such procedures by using, for example, local anaesthetics.

However, there are also more invasive procedures, such as dental implants, root canal treatment or surgery, which may involve a greater risk of experiencing pain. In such cases, usually local or general anaesthesia is usedto ensure patient comfort during the procedure.

A key aspect is communication between the patient and the dentist. Informing the doctor of your concerns about pain and discomfort is important as it allows you to better adapt your anaesthetic strategy and ensure that you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure.

In each case, while treatments can be carried out with minimal or no pain, there is an individual difference in pain sensation and each patient may respond differently. Therefore, it is important to discuss any concerns about pain and ways to minimise discomfort with your doctor prior to the procedure.
