Have you ever wished you could see exactly how your smile would look after dental treatment—before committing to the procedure? It’s a common concern we hear from patients in St John’s Wood and throughout Northwest London.
After all, when it comes to your smile, you want certainty, not surprises. Fortunately, revolutionary digital technology has transformed this once-impossible wish into an everyday reality at Twoth Dental + Facial Aesthetics.
Imagine being able to preview your new smile, make adjustments, and feel completely confident about your treatment outcome—all before your dentist has even touched your teeth. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the reality of Digital Smile Design technology that we’ve embraced at our St John’s Wood practice.
Digital Smile Design (DSD) has revolutionised how we plan and deliver cosmetic dental treatments. Gone are the days of trying to visualise results based on before-and-after photos of other patients or relying solely on your dentist’s verbal descriptions. Today’s technology allows you to become an active participant in designing your perfect smile.
“The ability to show patients what we can achieve before we begin treatment has completely transformed the experience,” explains Dr Simmi Daryani, who brings exceptional expertise in digital planning to our Westminster and Camden patients. “It removes uncertainty and builds confidence in the treatment process.”
The process of previewing your new smile combines several cutting-edge technologies that work together to create a remarkably accurate representation of your future dental appearance:
The journey begins with creating a precise digital model of your current teeth and oral structures. At Twoth Dental + Facial Aesthetics, we use the advanced iTero 3D scanning system to capture incredibly detailed images of your teeth and gums.
Unlike traditional impressions that involve uncomfortable trays filled with putty-like material, the iTero scanner is a small wand that captures thousands of images in just minutes. For our Northwest London patients, this means:
“Patients are often amazed by how quick and comfortable the scanning process is,” notes Dr Daryani. “Many have had unpleasant experiences with traditional impressions elsewhere and are relieved to discover there’s a better alternative.”
Once we’ve captured your current smile, sophisticated software allows us to analyse various aspects of your dental aesthetics:
This analysis forms the foundation for creating your smile preview, ensuring that aesthetic improvements also support proper function and long-term dental health.
Here’s where the magic happens. Using specialised software, our team can digitally reshape, resize, and reposition teeth in the virtual model. We can adjust tooth length, width, and contours; close spaces; correct misalignments; and even simulate different shades of whiteness.
The best part? This isn’t a one-way process. At our St John’s Wood practice, we involve you in this creative journey:
“This collaborative approach ensures the final result reflects the patient’s vision,” explains Dr Daryani. “Some of our Westminster patients prefer a more natural look with slight imperfections that preserve character, while others desire absolute symmetry and brightness. There’s no right or wrong—just what makes each individual feel confident.”
Once we’ve created a design you love, we can take the visualisation even further:
For many of our patients, this visualisation stage creates an emotional moment—often the first time they’ve seen themselves with the smile they’ve always wanted.
While seeing your new smile in advance is undeniably exciting, the benefits extend far beyond the “wow” factor:
Cosmetic dental treatments represent a significant investment in yourself. With digital preview technology, you gain the confidence of knowing exactly what that investment will deliver. Camden patients frequently tell us how reassuring it is to eliminate uncertainty before proceeding with treatment.
Your digital preview doesn’t just show you what your smile will look like—it provides our clinical team with precise blueprints for treatment:
This precision translates to more efficient treatment with predictable results.
For treatments like veneers or crowns that require laboratory fabrication, digital preview technology transforms how we communicate with our master ceramists:
The result? Custom-crafted dental work that precisely matches your approved preview.
Perhaps most importantly, smile preview technology establishes clear, realistic expectations. When you and your dental team share the same precise vision for the final outcome, satisfaction rates soar.
“We find that patients who’ve experienced digital previewing are consistently more satisfied with their results,” notes Dr Daryani. “Not because the outcomes are necessarily better, but because the results so precisely match what they expected and approved.”
Digital smile preview technology enhances virtually every cosmetic dental treatment we offer at our St John’s Wood practice:
For patients considering these transformative treatments, a digital preview is particularly valuable. The technology allows you to:
For our Northwest London patients pursuing straighter teeth, Invisalign® treatment planning incorporates advanced simulation technology:
These capabilities make Invisalign® particularly popular among our Camden professionals who appreciate knowing exactly what to expect from their investment of time and resources.
For comprehensive treatments addressing multiple concerns, digital preview becomes even more valuable. Patients can see how different treatments work together:
This comprehensive preview ensures all elements of treatment work harmoniously toward a unified aesthetic goal.
While digital smile preview technology is remarkable, at Twoth Dental + Facial Aesthetics, we understand that technology alone isn’t enough. Our approach combines cutting-edge tools with genuine care and clinical expertise:
Our team doesn’t simply present you with a digitally enhanced image and ask for approval. Instead, we guide you through the process with expert insight:
We recognise that “perfect” means something different to everyone. Some of our St John’s Wood patients seek absolute symmetry and brightness, while others prefer a more characterful smile with subtle natural variations.
“During the preview process, we often find patients requesting adjustments that make their digital smile less ‘perfect’ by conventional standards,” notes Dr Daryani. “They might want to preserve a slight gap they consider distinctive or maintain a natural translucency rather than opaque whiteness. Digital technology allows us to honour these personal preferences.”
What truly distinguishes our approach at Twoth Dental + Facial Aesthetics is our integration of smile design with overall facial aesthetics. As specialists in both dental and facial treatments, we consider how your smile enhancement works with your complete facial appearance.
Our digital planning might include:
This comprehensive approach ensures your smile enhancement contributes to overall facial harmony.
Once you’ve approved your digital smile preview, the exciting journey to bringing it to life begins. The process varies depending on the specific treatments involved but typically includes:
Throughout this process, your approved smile preview serves as both inspiration and blueprint, guiding every clinical decision.
If you’re considering any cosmetic dental treatment, from simple whitening to complete smile reconstruction, digital preview technology can significantly enhance your experience. It’s particularly valuable if:
At our practice, we incorporate appropriate levels of digital planning for virtually all aesthetic treatments, ensuring you always have clarity about expected outcomes.
Your journey to a preview of your perfect smile begins with a consultation at our St John’s Wood practice. During this visit:
For many Westminster and Camden patients, this initial consultation brings immediate relief—finally seeing the possibilities rather than just imagining them.
Digital smile preview technology represents the convergence of artistic vision and scientific precision in modern dentistry. It transforms abstract possibilities into visible, tangible previews that inform confident decisions.
“The ability to show patients exactly what we can achieve has transformed how we practice,” reflects Dr Daryani. “It eliminates uncertainty, builds trust, and allows us to deliver results that precisely match expectations. The joy patients express when they see their preview become reality is what makes this technology so rewarding.”
At Twoth Dental + Facial Aesthetics in St John’s Wood, we’re proud to bring this revolutionary approach to patients throughout Northwest London. The days of hoping you’ll like your new smile are over. Today, you can know with certainty that you’ll love your results—because you’ve already seen and approved them before treatment even begins.
