3D Facial Scanning at Dental Premier – A Planned Smile with Predictable Results
At Dental Premier we use 3D facial scanning to make treatment planning clear and predictable. The technology captures the shape of the soft tissues of the face in a few seconds and, where needed, their colour. The result is a faithful digital model of your face, which we use alongside intraoral dental scans and the X-rays or scans taken with the CBCT scanner to design a smile that suits you naturally.
Why it matters for you
3D facial scanning helps us align the teeth with the features of your face: the midline, the lip line, the symmetry of the smile. In cosmetic dentistry (veneers, crowns, whitening), orthodontics (fixed braces or aligners) and implantology, this fine matching is what makes a result look harmonious.
You will be able to see before-and-after proposals and understand every step of the plan, which means informed decisions and more confidence in the outcome.
What happens during a facial scan?
The 3D facial scan is quick, painless and involves no radiation. You sit in a comfortable position and look at a fixed point while the specialist passes an optical scanner across your face or takes a series of guided photographs.
A standard capture includes the face at rest and smiling, so we can see how the teeth sit in movement. The whole process takes 5 to 7 minutes, and straight afterwards you can see your 3D model on screen.

The practical benefits of facial scanning in dentistry
- A personalised plan: DSD smile design adapted to your features.
- Predictability: clinical simulations and clear communication about the result.
- Efficiency and comfort: fewer try-ins and adjustments, shorter visits.
- Follow-up over time: we can compare the progress of treatment objectively, before and after.
Who benefits from a facial scan?
- Patients interested in predictable cosmetic treatments (veneers, all-ceramic crowns and similar).
- Those starting orthodontic treatment who want to see the impact on their profile.
- Patients with fixed work on implants that needs to blend in perfectly.
