Clinical Pathway

Aesthetic Restoration Pathway

D4 brings Digital Smile Design, Mockup, and veneer treatment into one complete aesthetic pathway, integrating facial proportion, tooth condition, gum health, bite, technician collaboration, and patient goals.

Records first

  • Facial and intraoral photographs help review smile dynamics, lip line, tooth proportion, and gingival margins.
  • Intraoral scanning records tooth form, bite, and restorative space so the design can be reviewed in three dimensions and clinical context.
  • When needed, X-rays, CBCT, previous restoration records, and periodontal findings help clarify clinical limits.

What D4 reviews

  • Whether the concern comes from color, shape, proportion, tooth position, gingival margin, or bite.
  • How DSD and Mockup can help patients see, experience, and validate the design direction before treatment.
  • Whether veneers, orthodontics, periodontal maintenance, or restorative care need to be planned together.

Primarily concerned about tooth color?

How the pathway forms

  • Design first clarifies goals and boundaries.
  • Mockup brings the design into the mouth to review length, volume, proportion, and smile dynamics.
  • The final plan then moves into tooth preservation, margin design, material selection, technician communication, and maintenance.
