BECOME A CERTIFIED GSC (TM) DENTAL SURGEON
We would like to introduce you to Guided Smile Design.
Rather than conventional digital smile design - that invariably involves a singular step in the planning process, we would like to introduce you to the result of the members of International Digital Dental Academy’s digital masters development, an in depth process that will revolutionise the smile design pathway.
The NEXT evolution in smile design.
Just as Guided Implant Surgery involves prosthetically planning the implant surgery - ie planning the final position prior to placement - Guided Smile Design aims to make the entire process guided with the end result planned prior to even the prep of the teeth.
The disadvantage of the conventional single step smile design is the risk of loss of information and failure to achieve a planned result from 2D or even 3D.
With Guided Smile Design - or GSD - the patient’s new smile is planned incorporating existing principles but by using a common pathway we can predictably maintain the planning.
The GSD steps include using a common tooth library through each;
1) 2D Smile Design
2) 2D to 3D Smile Design through facial analysis.
3) Live Test Drive
4) Guided prep
5) CAD Copy of mock-up
6) CAM manufacture & Recreation of natural surface texture
This six step process can be OPEN and utilise any software that incorporates the same tooth libraries. It can even incorporate Mesh-mixer through the IDDA Mesh-mixer tooth libraries.

What is the benefit of this?
The main benefit of GSD is that the patient, the dentist AND the technician can all be on the same wavelength and understand limitations from the very start of the Guided Smile Design process.
The new Guided Smile Concept workflow and where you will succeed after the course;
Instead of the usual lab prescription, delivery then fit, we want to make this process more interactive so that you can provide not only a more streamlined and cost effective workflow for your practice expenses, but also involve YOU in the design process.
We realise that the majority of dentists - digitally scanning or otherwise - are conflicted between wanting to involve themselves more with CAD and having the time or skill to do this.
This is where the Guided Smile Concept added with Exocad smile creator will come in and how it will be different to any other smile design workflow.
You will scan, then use Smile Creator to mockup your tooth/teeth/smile design, and then design in house OR pass this on to our lab techs through exocad dental share who will then finish the cad design according to what you and the patient have shown/designed.
Of course with this new workflow you won’t HAVE to use smile creator. If youre in a rush, simply scan and send for cad design. But we think with our support you’ll be using smile creator on a regular basis.
The benefit to you as a clinician is that you can then show the patient this mockup at the point of scan, quickly and easily, to give them a better consent process without having to worry about fit, contact points, occlusal adjustments etc. All of those finer details our lab techs will sort out.
Marking margins, insertion axis, cad design… we do the difficult work but you can show and WOW the patient with the mockup phase to really connect with how the patient wants his or her teeth to look. Tooth library shapes, etc all easily chosen with the patient at hand.
This will be open to designs from single teeth to full arch smile design.
This design stage will then come back to you giving you the option to mill in house, mill with us or mill externally.
We can even send you back printed model mockups ready for composite bonding or trial smiles.
If it hasn’t become apparent, we think this will be revolutionary for you in the same way that clincheck is good for orthodontics with an Itero. You show the patient an estimated look but you dont do any of the work in production.
This process will act as a sales tool as well as improving your patient discussion and consent.
It will also mean that you can improve the predictability in practice in providing restorations that more closely resemble the initial mockup/trial smile.
The other added benefit to smile creator, is the ability to output the designs to print directly with a printer in tooth colour for same day trial smiles without even sending back to us.
