DIGITAL SMILE DESIGN: The Concept for Better Smile Design, Interdisciplinary Treatment Planning & Case Acceptance
With Dr. Christian Coachman
Dr. Coachman is the scientific coordinator of the e-learning website www.identalclub.com and works as a consultant for dental companies and offices developing products and implementing concepts. He has lectured and published internationally in the fields of esthetic dentistry, dental photography, oral rehabilitation, dental ceramics and implants.
The goal of Dr. Coachman’s full-day lecture is to design a smile that fits the patient's functional, esthetic and emotional needs by improving the team communication and creating a real interdisciplinary treatment plan. Also increasing case acceptance is paramount by utilizing visual communication, balancing the patient’s expectation and increasing motivation. Modern techniques and materials can be useless if the final outcome doesn’t achieve the patient's esthetic desires. Emphasis will be given to the utilization of digital tools to enhance and facilitate the Dentist/Technician interaction and communication with the patient. The protocol proposed will improve the diagnosis, communication and predictability of esthetic rehabilitations, from simple to complex cases, combining veneers, crowns and implants.
