Abstrakt: Digital smile design has transformed the approach to planning and executing esthetic dental treatments. The ability to digitally visualize and customize a patient's smile before taking any clinical intervention enhances clinical precision and confidence in the final result while elevating patient satisfaction. Modern digital tools have become indispensable in the treatment workflow, allowing practitioners to integrate facial analysis, occlusal evaluation, and dental anatomy to achieve natural and harmonious outcomes with precise measurements, customized designs tailored to the patient's unique features, and effective collaboration among interdisciplinary teams. By leveraging these technologies, clinicians can streamline diagnostics and treatment planning while also improving accuracy in predicting the final results. This article explores the advantages of digital smile design in esthetic treatment planning along with the key principles of smile design and facial harmony that must be considered for a successful smile transformation.
