The Axis Method — 3D Smile Design

See your smile on screen before a single tooth is touched.

Most cosmetic dentistry asks you to trust a description. The Axis Method replaces the description with a plan you can actually see. On your first visit we capture your teeth, bite and face in 3D — an intra-oral scan, photographs and, where implants are involved, a low-dose CBCT — and build a digital model of your smile that we design against, together.

Nothing is irreversible at this stage. We mock up proportions, tooth shape, edge position and shade on the model, then convert the approved design into a wax-up and a trial smile you can try in your own mouth. Only once you have seen it and signed it off do we prepare a single tooth.

Design phase: 1–2 visits over 2–3 weeks before treatment begins.

Approve the shape and length in your own mouth before we commit.

Predictable, guided delivery

Veneers, implants and aligners are produced from the approved 3D plan.

Is it right for you?

Who 3D smile design suits

Anyone considering veneers, a smile makeover, or combined treatment who wants certainty about the result before committing.

Unsure whether this is the best route for your smile? At a 3D Smile Design consult we assess your teeth, show you the options on screen, and give you an honest recommendation — even when that means a more conservative treatment than the one you came in for.

FAQ

3D Smile Design — your questions

Is the 3D design free?

The full 3D Smile Design consult is $150, which is credited in full toward any treatment you go ahead with. A free 15-minute discovery call is available first if you would like to talk before booking.

Can I keep the preview if I do not proceed?

Yes — you are welcome to take away your photos and a summary of the plan. There is never any obligation to treat.

Does the on-screen preview match the final result?

The digital design and the wearable trial smile are the blueprint we build to, so the final result tracks closely. Natural variation in tissue and healing means we always describe it as a very close guide rather than a pixel-perfect guarantee.
