During one of these sessions, doctors have an online call with a select DSD Planning Center team member to discuss every element of case design, providing an opportunity for modifications to be made in real-time, resulting in a robust treatment plan.

Why is the DSD Planning Center exclusive?

In order to deliver high standards of comprehensive treatment planning, the DSD Planning Center remains exclusive to DSD Clinics and doctors enrolled in the DSD Mastership program.

This exclusive access allows for the enriching interactions and close collaboration we are able to foster with our clients every day. One of the DSD core values is ‘relationships’ and an extension of this is the way we work with our clients, grounded in discussion and deciding together on the best options for every patient.

DSD Clinics are a global network of like-minded dentists who seek to provide sustainable and comprehensive dentistry to their patients. These clinics work with the DSD Planning Center to perform comprehensive dentistry efficiently, predictably, and with less stress.

DSD Clinics receive dedicated support to grow their business, enhance clinical performance and empower their team. These clinics additionally benefit from discounts to DSD courses, preferential pricing on DSD Lab products, the Live Treatment Planning Service, monthly team training in DSD implementation, and customizable patient-facing marketing campaigns.

How do I become a DSD Clinic?

The path toward becoming an official DSD Clinic is highly rewarding. Typically, a doctor gets started by attending a DSD Residency 1 course to delve into core DSD concepts, how we work, and how to move from quadrant dentistry to comprehensive care. From there, the implementation journey begins.

An ideal service designed to facilitate DSD implementation is a DSD Consultancy, in which a DSD-trained dentist-coach delivers team training in your clinic over two days and ensures the team has the necessary skills to deliver DSD workflows and protocols. The clinic will also receive a detailed audit to ensure it meets the required DSD standards. Coupled with a DSD Mastership that upskills individual doctors, the next step is to become an official DSD Clinic.

The pathway to becoming a DSD Clinic is the best way to benefit from the interdisciplinary nature of the DSD Planning Center and implement lasting changes in your dental clinic.

Access through the DSD Mastership pathway

The second membership pathway we offer that includes access to DSD Planning Center services is through the DSD Mastership.

This is a 12-month personalized, online DSD mentoring program that delves into the world of Digital Smile Design to gain mastery in key areas such as patient digitization, interdisciplinary treatment planning, guided digital workflows, emotional dentistry, and digital quality control.

During the course of the program, you will receive one-to-one coaching by experienced DSD consultants in order to equip you with the knowledge and skills to seamlessly implement DSD in your daily practice. These consultants will provide full technical support and clinical guidance in order for you tofully understand the digital systems that facilitate the process of rehabilitating smiles efficiently and predictably. It’s for this reason that the DSD Mastership is one of the requirements for becoming a DSD Clinic.

How can I enroll in the DSD Mastership?

Typically, dentists enroll in the DSD Mastership program once having attended DSD Residency 1 or DSD Residency 2, however, the first step to enroll in the DSD Mastership is to schedule a call with one of our advisors to understand the path best suited to your needs.

You can also request the DSD Mastership handbook to discover more about the benefits of this program before enrolling directly on our website.

Will DSD course participation grant me access to the DSD Planning Center?

There are no singular DSD courses that will grant you access to the DSD Planning Center.

However, if you’re a dentist looking to ultimately work with the DSD Planning Center, then the journey ideally starts with our flagship course DSD Residency 1. Taking this course allows DSD beginners to fully grasp the concept and philosophy behind DSD.

This understanding developed in DSD Residency 1 is further expanded on during DSD Residency 2, where DSD clinicians demonstrate and explain DSD techniques and workflows with real patients in a DSD Clinic setting.

What is fundamental to both membership pathways is the education and training in DSD methodology and protocols. We find that theclinics that are able to take the most advantage of the DSD Planning Centerare those who have attended one or both of these courses and have become DSD Masters before starting their journey to become DSD Clinics.
