About
PreVu Dental is a dedicated cosmetic simulation and digital smile design software tool built to help dental practices grow their cosmetic caseload. Using patient photos, practitioners or team members can quickly generate realistic before-and-after simulations showing potential results from procedures like dental veneers, implants, orthodontics, and teeth whitening — all within minutes, directly at the appointment. The platform is designed to be team-driven, meaning any staff member can create simulations without direct dentist involvement, streamlining the workflow. Simulations can be printed on practice-branded materials for patients to take home, share with friends and family, and use as motivation to move forward with treatment. An email sharing option is also included. PreVu operates on a low monthly subscription with no long-term contract. Each plan includes three doctor licenses and a team license, with additional licenses available at a nominal fee. Discounts are available for multiple locations and longer subscriptions. A free downloadable demo version lets practices try the software before committing. The software also includes inclusion in a patient-facing doctor locator at prevumysmile.com, broadening each practice's reach. PreVu is accessible from any computer in the practice or remotely from home, making it flexible for modern dental workflows. PreVu is ideal for cosmetic dental practices, DSOs, dental consultants, and any dentist looking to improve the new-patient experience, increase word-of-mouth referrals, and boost hourly production through higher cosmetic case acceptance.
Key Features
- Instant Smile Simulation: Create realistic before-and-after cosmetic simulations using patient photos in minutes, covering veneers, implants, whitening, orthodontics, and more.
- Team-Driven Workflow: Any team member can generate simulations without direct dentist involvement, making it easy to integrate into any patient appointment workflow.
- Practice-Branded Marketing Materials: Print or email practice-branded before-and-after simulation cards for patients to share with friends, family, and co-workers to drive word-of-mouth referrals.
- Multi-License Plans: Each subscription includes 3 doctor licenses and a team license, with additional licenses and multi-location discounts available.
- Doctor Locator Listing: Subscribers are listed on PreVu's patient-facing website (prevumysmile.com), increasing discoverability for patients seeking cosmetic dental providers.
Use Cases
- A cosmetic dentist uses PreVu during new patient consultations to show before-and-after veneer simulations, helping patients emotionally connect with the outcome and commit to treatment on the spot.
- A dental office manager trains front-desk staff to capture patient photos and generate smile simulations, freeing up the dentist's time while still improving case acceptance.
- A multi-location dental group uses PreVu across all practices to standardize the cosmetic consultation experience and drive higher production per appointment.
- A dental practice prints practice-branded simulation cards for patients to take home and share with family, generating organic word-of-mouth referrals for cosmetic procedures.
- A dentist uses PreVu to show patients the difference between multiple treatment options side-by-side, helping them choose optimal care rather than a lower-cost alternative.
Pros
- Boosts Case Acceptance: Patients who can visually preview their potential results are far more motivated to commit to cosmetic treatment and schedule sooner.
- Fast and Easy to Use: Simulations can be created in minutes by any team member, requiring no advanced design or technical skills.
- Cost-Effective vs. Outsourcing: In-house simulation at a low monthly fee is a fraction of the cost of outsourcing to an external dental imaging service.
- No Long-Term Commitment: Month-to-month pricing with no contracts and a free demo version makes it low-risk for practices to try.
Cons
- Dental-Specific Use Only: The software is narrowly focused on cosmetic dentistry, making it unsuitable for general medical or non-dental imaging needs.
- Photo Quality Dependent: Simulation quality depends on the quality of patient photos taken in the practice, requiring some standardization of photo-taking processes.
- Limited Public Pricing Transparency: Specific subscription pricing is not listed publicly and requires scheduling a demo or signing up to access full plan details.
