Digital Smile Design for Predictable Planning

Digital smile design gives you a clearer way to plan, present and deliver aesthetic cases.

Elevate Dental Designs supports dentists across the UK with digital smile design, aesthetic planning and in-house manufacture from our Belfast lab.

We help you turn scans, photos and case goals into a practical digital workflow, giving you and your patient a clearer view of the proposed outcome before final restorations are made.

Plan aesthetic cases with more confidence

Aesthetic cases often carry higher expectations. Patients want to understand how their smile could look, while dentists need a workflow that supports function, fit and long-term planning.

Digital smile design helps bring those pieces together.

It can support:

  • Smile planning for veneers, crowns and wider aesthetic cases
  • Visual communication with patients
  • Shape, length and proportion review
  • Smile line and facially driven planning
  • Multi-unit restorative planning
  • Better lab and dentist communication before manufacture

The aim is to make the intended result easier to review, discuss and refine before the work begins.

How we support digital smile design

We work with dentists who want a practical route through aesthetic and restorative cases. You don't need to manage every design stage alone.

We can help with digital planning and review stages, using the information you send to shape a proposed aesthetic direction.

This gives you clearer points to discuss with the patient and helps the lab understand the required outcome before manufacture.

For many cases, this can reduce uncertainty and improve communication between dentist, patient and lab.

Digital-first, but still practical

Elevate is a digital-first dental lab, but our process is built around real clinical workflows.

We support intra-oral scans and traditional impressions. If you are using a scanner, we can help you connect with the lab and understand how to send cases. If you are still using impressions, we can still support the planning and manufacturing process where suitable.

Our focus isn't digital for the sake of it. It's about giving aesthetic cases a clearer plan, a better review process and a more predictable route to final restorations.

Send Us the Case

Send your scans or impressions, clinical photographs, shade information and any notes on the patient’s goals.

Review the Digital Design

We create the smile design and give you a clear stage to review shape, proportions, smile line and the proposed outcome before final manufacture.

Approve and Move to Manufacture

Once the design is agreed, the case can move forward with a clearer plan for the final restorations and fewer surprises later in the workflow.

Useful for single cases and wider smile plans

  • Veneer cases: Plan shape, width, length and smile line before committing to final ceramic restorations.
  • Anterior crowns: Support shade, contour and proportion decisions where the final restoration needs to blend naturally.
  • Implant restorations: Help review the aesthetic plan around soft tissue support, emergence profile and visible tooth position.
  • Signature Smile cases: Support wider smile design cases where several restorations need to work together visually and functionally.
  • Full-mouth and multidisciplinary cases: Use digital planning as part of a staged workflow where aesthetics, function and restorative decisions need to be aligned.
