Digital Smile Design (DSD) with Christian Coachman. Seminar for Dentists of All Levels. "Standard" option

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 seminar 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.

Prior to the event, course participants will receive complimentary access to the online course "Smile Design Fundamentals".

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.

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