The Flagship Experience
Your smile, designed
before it's made.
Digital Smile Design turns your transformation from a leap of faith into a preview you approve. Using 3Shape Smile Design — the same platform trusted by leading cosmetic practices worldwide — Dr. Paulson designs your new smile directly on a photograph of your own face: tooth shape, proportion, alignment, and shade, adjusted in real time while you watch.
The design takes minutes, not weeks. And what you approve on screen becomes the exact blueprint for what is crafted.
The Workflow
Four steps, zero guesswork.
- Portraits & a goop-free scan
High-resolution photographs capture your natural smile and proportions, and the 3Shape TRIOS® scanner maps your teeth with a small light wand — no impression trays, no gagging, no goop.
- Design — together, in minutes
On screen, Dr. Paulson sculpts the new smile onto your photo: length, shape, symmetry, shade. You react, he refines. A photorealistic preview of you — not a stock smile — emerges in a single sitting.
- Your approval is the blueprint
Nothing proceeds until you love what you see. The approved design becomes the precise digital specification for your veneers, crowns, or full transformation — what you saw is what gets built.
- Crafted to match
Here the practice's lab heritage takes over: the digital design drives fabrication — including same-day in-office ceramics with Dr. Sitchon for many cases — and Dr. Paulson's eight years as a master technician means he checks the finished porcelain against the design with a craftsman's eye.
See It Happen
A smile designed in minutes.
The same 3Shape Smile Design software this office uses — a new smile drawn onto a patient’s own photo, start to finish, in a little over a minute.

Why It Matters
The architect and the builder.
Most offices that offer smile design send the file away and hope the lab interprets it well. This one is different: the dentist designing your smile spent eight years building smiles in a dental laboratory before he ever treated a patient. He speaks both languages — design and fabrication — so nothing is lost in translation between the screen and the final porcelain.
Proof
Designed digitally, delivered exactly.
Good To Know
Questions, answered.
How accurate is the preview?
It's a photorealistic simulation built on your actual photograph and scan — proportions, lip line, and facial harmony included. The final restorations are fabricated to the approved design, and checked against it before you ever see a mirror.
What does the scan feel like?
A small wand glides over your teeth taking thousands of images with light. Most patients find it fascinating rather than uncomfortable — and there are no impression trays involved.
What treatments can be designed this way?
Veneers and cosmetic crowns benefit most — symmetry and proportion are everything there — but the same design process guides whitening targets, clear-aligner outcomes, and full-mouth reconstruction.
Does the design visit commit me to anything?
No. Seeing your possible smile is the point — many patients bring the preview home to think it over. Nothing is made until you approve it.
Ready when you are.
New patients are welcomed with an unhurried, comprehensive first visit — photographs, a conversation about your goals, and a plan you'll understand completely.
