3 Easy Steps to your 2D Smile Mock Up

August 2, 2024

2D smile mock up provides a visual representation of the potential treatment outcome, helping patients understand and visualize the proposed changes to their smile. It allows for customization of tooth shape, shade, and other aesthetic factors, significantly increasing patient confidence and willingness to proceed with treatment. However, many practices hesitate due to the perceived learning curve of digital workflows.

But the good news is, with the right tools and a streamlined approach, you can easily achieve this workflow yourself or use this page to train your staff. This 3 easy step guide contains all the information you need. Let’s break it down into three simple steps:

Step 1. Gather Information During the Patient Visit (Record Appointment)

1.1 Gather High-Quality Photographs:

Full Face – Smiling: Capture a frontal view of your patient’s face in a natural, full smile.

1.2 Compile Your Patient’s Treatment Plan Information

After completing your patient record appointment, you will need to gather and organize essential details. Follow these steps to ensure you have all the necessary information.

Collect Patient Demographics:
Patient’s name
Contact information
Date of birth

Document the Chief Complaint:
Understanding the patient’s primary concern will help tailor the 2D smile mock up for future dental treatment options to address their specific needs.

Summarize Diagnostic Findings:
Results from the clinical exam
Intraoral photos
Radiographs
Any other pertinent diagnostic tests
Record Treatment Goals:
Patient’s desired outcomes
Discuss key aspects: If the 2D smile mock up is part of a more comprehensive treatment plan, such as full-mouth cosmetic veneers, rehabilitation, or implant-supported restoration, understanding the overall goals will ensure this 2D smile mock up aligns with the intended outcome.

Once you have compiled all this information, you are ready to submit the case to Evident.
