What is Digital Smile Design (DSD)?
Digital Smile Design is a treatment planning protocol that combines cutting-edge dental technology with the collective intelligence of world-class dentists and technicians. The DSD team studies facial features and uses virtual simulations to plan procedures from A-Z. This digital process allows patients to test-drive their smile model before treatment begins and empowers doctors to carry out seamless oral surgeries.
Viva Smile in Granada Hills proudly offers Digital Smile Design in California. Our dental office is honored to be part of this global and exclusive network of dentists that utilize state-of-the-art technology and insights to pioneer modern dentistry. The DSD stamp is your guarantee that we will deliver truly exceptional smile results every single time.

How does Digital Smile Design work?
DSD is a collaboration between Dr. Káren Baghdasaryan and a team of top dentists, technicians and designers. We combine layers of clinical photos, X-rays, CBCT scans and 3D technology to create your digital likeness. Then we use advanced imaging software, surgical simulations and 3D printing to sculpt the perfect smile that captures your essence.
The DSD protocol analyzes your facial structure, teeth, gums, lips, and bilateral symmetry to design teeth suited to your face. Your ideal smile is created virtually so we can print a 3D model of it for you to test drive before the actual procedure. This step lets you see and feel your new smile so you can visualize and customize the final results.
Finally, we use a combination of dental procedures such as orthodontics and dental veneers to bring your new smile to life. No matter what type of treatment is prescribed, you can rest assured that the end result will look amazing!
What is the main difference between traditional smile make-overs and Digital Smile Design?
Becoming a Digital Smile Design clinic requires extensive training and criteria for certification. Joining the DSD network gives us access to world-class technology and involves teamwork with coveted dental specialists. Traditional methods simply cannot match this level of advancement, detail and customization. The DSD process also allows patients to preview their new smile before commiting to a treatment or getting permanent procedures. We use the digital copy of your smile design to print out a temporary 3D model for you to try out. You wear it over your existing teeth and see the final results during a before and after photoshoot. We move on to the clinical step only once you approve the 3D design.

Digital Smile Design Steps
Digital Smile Design is carried out in 3 stages. It involves a diagnostic appointment, a presentation of the treatment plan, and the actual treatment. Below you’ll find a breakdown for each phase but please note that the last step may entail more than one visit to the dental office depending on the procedures required for achieving your ideal smile results.
1
Diagnostic Appointment
The first DSD appointment is what we call a diagnostic appointment. When you arrive, we discuss your concerns, take iTERO impressions, CBCT scans, X-Rays, and technical photos for our records. We use imaging software to overlap these files and design your ideal smile on your virtual likeness. We consider your gestures, the way you smile and even your personality to create a smile design that captures you at your best.
2
Smile Presentation
Your second DSD appointment is what we call “Vogue Day” or the day you get to test-drive your 3D printed mockup during a fancy photoshoot. You wear a temporary model of your ideal teeth over your existing ones and get to step into the shoes of your future self. We use the before and after images to create a presentation that explains your treatment plan and smile results. Be sure to come photoshoot ready on this exciting day!
3
Clinical Appointment
The final step of the DSD process is the actual treatment. This may require various procedures depending on the case. It’s a holistic process that addresses the health, functionality and aesthetics of your teeth. Our aim is to achieve comprehensive and natural-looking results using minimally invasive dental procedures. This may involve clearing cavities, doing orthodontics and placing veneers to craft your ideal smile.

Viva Smile Patient Reviews
Ellen G.
I immediately felt like he knew what he was doing, knew what I needed, gave me several options, and even took the time to educate me so I truly could make the best choice myself. I ended up having to have a crown removed, cut out the roots, bone graft, and several stitches later I was done! I felt nothing!!! Viva will be my dentist for life and I will be going regularly because I can. If you've ever had a bad experience that keeps you from taking care of yourself then you must give this dentist a try. It will change your health and your life!!!
Van B.
Makes me almost look forward to going to the dentist! Friendliest staff ever! Modern technology and setting. Everything is explained clearly, and they work on you with co-payments. These guys are awesome!
Martin H.
I wanted to get all of the mercury amalgam fillings switched out with more modern white fillings. His process for the dental work is extremely modern and my crowns are holding up with no problem. But the best part is that he understands the anxiety that goes with going to the dentist. He is very calming and I must admit this is the first dentist that I felt no pain. My entire family goes to this practice and we actually love to see everyone when we go!
Marine J.
Amazing Staff and office. Love the doctors. They are very knowledgeable and explain by detail what exactly is going on with your teeth and what solution it needs. Love them. And the office is so modern and beautiful top of the line machinery and just walking in you feel welcomed!
Sona B.
The technology in the clinic is the highest and upscale. Also highest level customer patient service!!! I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thanks so much to both doctor's Karen Baghdasaryan and Gohar Hovsepyan. I highly recommend everyone who is looking for great and amazing caring doctors to visit Viva Smile clinic to see both my doctors.
Mariam Z.
Both my husband & I have been going to Dr.Hovsepian and Dr.Bagdasaryan for all our dental needs. From cleaning, deep cleaning, veneers, fillings & now my husband had his 4 wisdom teeth extracted. I have to say so far our experience has been good & the staff is very friendly & professional. We have been to all 3 of their locations & they are all very clean & comfortable atmospheres. I highly recommend you try them for all your dental needs.

I am so grateful to have found this dentist. Dr. H and her husband (who is the oral surgeon) performed gum recontouring aka gingivectomy on my upper gums purely for cosmetic reasons, and can't say how much happier I am with my smile. Even after having braces more than 5 yrs ago, no other dentist offered the services for my gums.. Even months after my gum surgery, Dr. H said hello just to check up on me making sure I was happy with everything.
Douglas M.
Have been going to see Dr Baghdasaryan for years when he was in Glendale. Now that he's moved to Granada Hills I will continue to see him as my dentist. He's the best dentist I have ever had. He has a calm demeanor and when its time to work, he really gets down to business. He is quick, efficient with very little discomfort. Best Ever!
Ulysses P.
I can't believe I'm saying this about a Dentist..but this place is so calming. They have TVs showing beautiful scenery like Santorini, with music playing in the background. You won't see a giant needle staring at you when you sit down, while listening to someone getting drilled on next door. It felt like they really go out of their way to make you feel at ease. I couldn't feel when the Dentist gave me a shot and this was one of the best experiences I ever had at a dental office.
C. Spence J.
I've been going to Dr. B for over 10 years. He's sensitive to your dental needs and handles all his customers with the utmost care. If you're looking for a dentist who listens to you, hears you and treats you like family, then look no further. HE IS AN AWESOME AND AMAZING DENTIST!!!
