DSD most commonly refers to **Digital Smile Design**, a planning method used in esthetic (cosmetic) and restorative dentistry. It combines photos, videos, and scans to **plan tooth shape, position, and smile proportions** before treatment starts. DSD is used to improve communication between the patient, dentist, and dental laboratory. It is commonly applied in cases involving veneers, crowns, bonding, orthodontics, implants, and smile makeovers.
