Cosmetic dental treatment has traditionally required patients to make significant decisions based on a mental image alone – committing to veneers, crowns, or other restorations without truly knowing what the finished result would look like. Digital smile design changes that entirely. Using advanced digital imaging and treatment planning software, your care team can map out and visualize your final smile before a single tooth is touched, giving you clarity and confidence before any work begins.
At North Creek Dental Care, Dr. Omar El Ebrashy DMD leads our prosthodontic and cosmetic treatment planning process for patients throughout Tinley Park and the Southland area. As a prosthodontist – a specialist in the restoration and replacement of teeth – Dr. El Ebrashy combines digital smile design technology with his clinical expertise to create smile plans that are both aesthetically driven and functionally sound. A proud Southland’s Best Dental Office 2024, 2025, and 2026 winner, we give our patients the confidence to move forward with treatment knowing exactly what to expect.

What Is Digital Smile Design?
Digital smile design (DSD) is a treatment planning methodology that uses high-resolution photography, digital imaging, and smile design software to create a detailed preview of your proposed cosmetic result. Rather than relying on verbal descriptions or rough mock-ups, your dentist uses precise measurements of your facial proportions, gum line, tooth shape, and bite to design a smile that fits your face - not just your teeth.
The result is a digital rendering you can review and adjust before any treatment is finalized - lengthening a tooth, reshaping the gum line, changing proportions - until the plan reflects exactly what you want.
Which Treatments Benefit Most
Digital smile design is most valuable when the aesthetic outcome matters as much as the clinical one. At North Creek Dental Care, we use it most commonly for:
- Porcelain veneers - visualizing shape, length, and color across multiple teeth
- Full smile makeovers combining veneers, crowns, and gum contouring
- Dental crowns - matching the final restoration to surrounding teeth
- Implant-supported restorations - planning position and appearance
- Teeth whitening - setting a target shade before bleaching begins
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Your consultation begins with photos, measurements, and a conversation about what you like and what you would change. Dr. El Ebrashy builds your digital smile preview from that information, which you review together before any treatment is finalized.
You will see proposed changes to tooth shape, length, symmetry, and color before any work begins. Once you approve the design, it guides every step of treatment - from temporary restorations to final placement. Alternating care between Dr. El Ebrashy and your general dentist ensures nothing is missed, and because both providers are in the same practice, your records stay connected.
No More Guesswork
Commit to Treatment with Confidence
Most patients who hesitate before cosmetic treatment do so because they cannot picture the result. Digital smile design removes that uncertainty entirely. You approve the design before a single tooth is prepared - and if something looks off, we adjust digitally until it is right.
Complimentary consultations are available for new patients. Our team accepts PPO insurance, CareCredit, Proceed Finance, HSA and FSA accounts, and an in-office membership plan. Contact North Creek Dental Care today to schedule.
