Digital Smile Scanning at DRJB Smile Clinic

Ever wondered what your new smile might look like before you start treatment? At DRJB Smile Clinic, we don’t just imagine it — we show you.

📸 What Is a 3D Digital Dental Scan?

It’s not science fiction — it’s smile simulation, and it starts with a scan that’s quicker than most selfies.


Using our Trios 5 digital scanner, we take over 2,000 high-resolution photos of your mouth in a matter of minutes. Each image is geo-tagged (like a postcode for your tooth) and digitally stitched together to create a 3D model of your teeth and gums.

This means we can zoom, rotate, inspect… and most exciting of all: simulate smile improvements in real time.

🔬 The Science Bit (But Keep Reading — It’s Cool!)

🧪 The Trios 5 scanner uses light-based technology to capture your teeth from multiple angles without radiation, gagging, or mess.📌 The 3D file is precise enough to replace traditional impressions — no more trays of goo.🧠 The model is used for diagnosis, design, and even lab work if we go ahead with treatment.🧩 From there, we can print models or ask the lab to simulate changes — a little or a lot — to co-design the smile you want.

🤝 The Experience: Try Before You Buy

Most patients love the scan — it’s comfortable, quick, and surprisingly fascinating.

Here’s what you’ll get at your free digital smile scan:

  • A 3D fly-through of your own teeth on-screen

  • Digital photos

  • A chance to preview potential changes — shape, symmetry, brightness

  • An honest chat with our team about what’s possible

No pressure. No jargon. Just insight.

Some people use the scan as part of a bigger journey — veneers, Invisalign, whitening — while others just want peace of mind or to monitor wear or recession.


🧠 Why This Helps You Make Better Decisions

We believe in co-diagnosis and co-design.

When you can actually see what’s going on with your 3D smile scan, it’s easier to:

  • Understand your options

  • Prioritize what matters most

  • Ask better questions

  • Make more confident choices

This isn’t about hard sells. It’s about clarity and collaboration.


🚀 Bonus: Captain Apex Is Watching

If you glance at Dr JB’s windowsill, you might spot Captain Apex keeping a quiet watch over proceedings. He’s our in-house mascot of high-tech dentistry… and intergalactic tooth justice.

(He also judges your brushing technique, but don’t worry — he’s mostly fair.)
