Digital Smile Design (DSD) with Christian Coachman. Practical Course for Dentists of All Levels

Join Christian Coachman, pioneer of the Digital Smile Design (DSD) methodology, to elevate your smile design skills and confidently handle even the most challenging cases.

This course is for decision makers in dentistry, focusing on refining smile design, enhancing communication with labs, making clinical adjustments, and using optical illusions to achieve optimal esthetic outcomes and predictable final restorations.

To become a modern smile rehabilitator, you need to master the fundamental principles in the smile design process, which you’ll explore in depth in the Designing Smiles course:

– Developing the ideal smile (diagnosis and design)
– Testing the smile design (patient communication and data transfer)
– Adapting the smile design (ideal vs. reality)
– Guiding and controlling clinical execution by design
– Dentist-lab synergy in designing and restoring smiles.

During the seminar, you will learn about:

– Planning guided by Smile Design principles
– Dento-facial guidelines and the Smile Frame in 10 steps
– Dentist–lab synergy for high-performance restorative workflow
– Overcoming compromises in restorative dentistry: from good to great through optical illusions.

During the hands-on session of the course, participants will perform:

– Step-by-step smile design analysis on clinical cases
– Application of dento-facial guidelines in treatment planning
– Layout planning for digital smile design workflows.

While other courses focus on theory, concepts, or a single technology solution, this DSD course integrates the digital workflow with patient experience and comprehensive treatment planning, all geared towards implementation.
