Advanced Dentistry
Advanced imaging technology that lets you see your new smile before a single tooth is touched. Planned precisely. Approved by you. Then built to spec.
The Approach
Digital Smile Design transforms cosmetic dentistry from guesswork into precision engineering. Dr. Forbes is the only provider in Richmond certified in this approach. Using facial analysis, high-resolution photography, and digital imaging, your smile is designed on screen before any treatment begins.
You see the projected result. You provide input. You approve the design. Only then does clinical work begin. This is how modern cosmetic dentistry should work: transparent, collaborative, and precise.
Digital Smile Design eliminates surprises. You know exactly what your result will look like because you have already seen it, evaluated it, and approved it.
What It Includes
Digital Smile Design integrates every aspect of your treatment into a single, unified plan. It can incorporate veneers, crowns, implants, Invisalign, bonding, gum contouring, and whitening. The technology even supports Smile Donor functionality, allowing Dr. Forbes to model your design after a smile you admire, whether that is a celebrity, a family member, or your younger self.

The Process
A systematic approach that puts you in control of the outcome.
Dr. Forbes photographs your face and smile from every angle, records video of you speaking and laughing, and takes complete digital scans of your teeth and gums.
Your facial proportions, lip dynamics, tooth-to-gum ratios, and smile arc are analyzed. These measurements form the architectural blueprint for your new smile.
Using specialized software, Dr. Forbes designs your smile on screen, positioning each tooth according to the data. Multiple options may be presented for your evaluation.
You review the digital mockup and provide feedback. Adjustments are made until the design meets your expectations. Nothing proceeds without your explicit approval.
A physical prototype of the approved design is created using 3D printing. You can see and feel the proposed result in your own mouth before permanent work begins.
The approved design guides every clinical step, whether veneers, crowns, bonding, or a combination. The result matches the plan because the plan was built with precision from the start.

Why Smile Design
Digital Smile Design provides a visual preview of your result. You make informed decisions based on what you can actually see, not verbal descriptions.
Dr. Forbes is the only Digital Smile Design certified provider in Richmond. This certification represents advanced training in facial analysis and digital treatment planning.
You are involved at every stage. Your preferences, concerns, and feedback shape the final design. This is your smile, designed with your input.
Because the design is finalized before treatment begins, the clinical result closely matches the approved plan. Surprises are eliminated.
Digital Smile Design integrates all necessary procedures into one cohesive plan. Veneers, crowns, implants, and orthodontics work together toward a unified result.
Unlike traditional approaches that can produce artificial-looking results, the detailed facial analysis ensures your new smile looks natural and suits your unique features.
