Simulated Smiles

Your vision, our expertise

Simulated Smiles are our way of giving you a new smile to try on, adjust, and approve, before we even touch a tooth.

What is Simulated Smiles?

Simulated Smiles is an innovative approach to smile design. With Dr. Cipriani’s process you can preview and examine your potential smile, in your mouth, before undertaking any permanent dental procedures. This way you can understand and visualise what is possible, before committing to definitive treatment. This process allows us to create a smile that meets your aesthetic desires while also complementing your unique personality.

How it works

Appointment 1:

If you’re considering some cosmetic adjustments, or are after a complete smile makeover, we start by assessing the existing status of your teeth and fillings. We need to know what you like and what you’d like to see change. Do you want the smile you used to have, or the smile you never had?

Next, we capture some digital 3D records of your teeth and bite, as well as a series of photographs and maybe even video. We need to understand how you smile, your pink and white aesthetics, and how your lips and other facial muscles are moving at different stages of your smile..

Design Phase:

Dr Cipriani then studies your smile data and, using specialised CAD software, will create a series of smile options unique to you. Size, shape, proportion and colour are all taken into consideration during this design process. As a patient, you will have the option to preview our design, initially in 2D, within the framework of your lips and face. It’s an early opportunity to provide initial feedback and request adjustment. It will also offer a greater understanding of the potential outcomes and allow you to actively participate in your new smile design.

Once Dr Cipriani has refined your design digitally, he uses 3D printing to create a working prototype, ready for your next appointment.

Appointment 2:

This is where we fit-check your smile and bring our digital designs to life.

Using your preferred colour shade, Dr Cipriani places a composite material on your teeth and gently bonds it in such a way that allows it to be safely removed at the end of your appointment. The technique used allows us to transfer the exact shape of our 3D printed smile design into your mouth.

After a few little tweaks, you’re ready to preview your new smile and capture some selfies to reflect on with family and friends.

You now have a first hand appreciation of what your smile makeover could be. This is a low-pressure way to preview before you’re committed to anything permanent. You can then reflect, request changes you’d like to see, completely re-design for a new look, or move to the next stage, bringing you one step closer to your new smile. No need to guess or wonder what your new smile will look like, Simulated Smiles with Dr Cipriani removes any doubt or hesitation about your permanent cosmetic treatment.
