Dr Clarence Tam and her team of skilled dentists at Tam Dental Group utilize Digital Smile Design (DSD) and other advanced tools to optimize treatment planning and simulate a virtual “preview” of patient outcomes.
Auckland, NZ — Tam Dental Group is a longtime provider of cosmetic, restorative, and family dental treatments for the Auckland community. With their available services including porcelain veneers, SureSmile® orthodontics, Invisalign®, and dental implants, among many other possible solutions, comprehensive treatment planning is often key to obtaining the most successful results. For this reason, Dr Clarence Tam — founder and cosmetic dentist at Tam Dental Group — utilizes sophisticated dental software like Digital Smile Design (DSD) and other state-of-the-art technology at the team’s Newmarket and Devonport locations.
Digital Smile Design is a process that promotes patient interaction in the architecture of the solution, the constant involvement of which represents the highest form of communication. This translates not only to increased satisfaction, but also case predictability in execution. True to its name, Digital Smile Design can be used to create a virtual “blueprint” of a patient’s new smile, demonstrating potential changes to the teeth and gums before they’re implemented. With DSD, the dimensions of the teeth and gums are digitally calibrated to guide the placement of restorations and simulate the potential effects of a given treatment. This not only improves the consultation process by allowing patients to more clearly illustrate their goals, but also allows individuals to see a “preview” of their new smile prior to any treatment.
In addition to use of Digital Smile Design for cosmetic treatments, Dr Tam also employs the advanced Primescan® intraoral scanner for orthodontics and restorative dentistry to attain more precise measurements of a patient’s mouth. These measurements create extremely accurate impressions of the teeth and gums to achieve a more comfortable fit for restorations or aligners, eliminating the need for messy pastes, molds, and putties.
These technologies are utilized at Tam Dental Group to improve the comfort and convenience of treatment while helping ensure Auckland patients have the best possible experience at their office. The team also personalizes treatment to each person’s unique needs, offering tailored sedation dentistry options to help ease dental anxiety for those who have a fear of the dentist.
