Testimonials

...this course is nothing short of spectacular...

I have been a practicing cosmetic dentist for a while. I feel like I do good work and have a good grasp of smile design. However, when Christian Coachman decided to introduce an online course called Designing Smiles I had to suspend judgment and quiet my ego to take a look at this course. Christian is an amazing communicator and this course is nothing short of spectacular. It’s a course that is not only thorough, it’s also very insightful and practical. Going through the hands-on section of this program was critical for me as it tied in all the information that was presented.

...I am incredibly excited about the knowledge Christian shared with us...

I have been a dental technician for 32 years and my lab has become known for its full mouth reconstruction cases. I honestly thought I understood full mouth reconstruction and implemented the best possible means for reconstructing patients’ smiles.

Christian Coachman’s DSD Designing Smiles Course has humbled me! It showed me what I did NOT know.

I am incredibly excited about the knowledge Christian shared with us during this course, and it has been most rewarding implementing this knowledge now in my daily work in the lab. Christian also taught me what to ask of my clients - the necessary photos and videos, preps and surgery (basically, the tools necessary for a beautiful and successful outcome for our patients’ new smiles) so that I had everything I needed on the technical side to go ahead and successfully reconstruct smiles.

The beautiful smiles, happy patients and clients are alone a direct testament to the knowledge I gained from completing this course. Much gratitude to DSD and Christian!
