Digital Smile Design (DDS). Is anyone familiar with this?

April 29, 2018
Asked By:MySmile4Life in Los Angeles, CA

Looking at getting veneers in the new future and ran across a clinic using Digital Smile Design (DDS). Is this the same as cad/cam technology? Is this something that is now becoming a commonly used practice? If so what are the advantages and disadvantages to using such a protocol?
