Digitization

The blueprint of your new smile begins with digitization. We design your new smile to fit your whole self – not just your mouth.

What is Digitization?

Digitization is a process in which we gather all the unique, one-of-a-kind information about your teeth and your mouth.

It includes meticulous detail and measurements which allows us to prepare your treatment and design a smile that is right for you.
