No, you do not need to do DSD Residency 1 or any other DSD course before attending Designing Smiles with Apa & Coachman. It is a course designed to help you improve your smile design skills and master the fundamentals of orofacial esthetics.

Christian Coachman believes that mastering ideal smile design and orofacial harmony is the starting point of interdisciplinary treatment planning and is vital to succeed in modern esthetic dentistry. The problem is that designing smiles in harmony with faces is complex and subjective, and requires artistic skills that we usually don't learn in dental school or at dental technician courses. And to make matters more complicated, many of our cases are not ideal. As a result, it’s important to become great at developing the best smile design possible for the reality of each case.

The course outcomes are as follows:

  • Develop your artistic skills and master harmony

  • Learn smile design principles to improve handmade or digital procedures, wax-ups, direct and indirect restorations

  • Learn modern orofacial and smile design principles

  • Understand morphology, real shapes and perceived shapes

  • Design smiles in ideal and compromised situations

  • Learn functional design and restorative design

  • Achieve esthetics with 3D technology

  • Understand the most common restorative and smile design limitations in real cases and how to use artistic principles and optical illusion to overcome them

  • Deal with space distribution limitations, gingival level limitations, gummy smile, ridge deficiencies, tooth position, and shape and size limitations.

  • Overcome diastema or black triangle

  • Overcome functional limitations

  • Create efficient dentist-lab communication protocols

No, these topics will not be covered. This course is focused on dento-facial esthetics and the artistic skills to create harmony.
