We often get asked by customers if our flagship course, DSD Provider, is a course about smile design. But while it’s in our name, the Digital Smile Design philosophy that the DSD Provider program comprises is about far more than just smile design…
That’s why in this article we want to demystify the assumption that DSD Provider is a course about smile design, define exactly what the program covers, what it isn’t, and why you should attend.
Is smile design the main topic of DSD Provider?
When it comes to DSD Provider, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether the program is dedicated solely to smile design. The simple answer is no. While the basics of facially-driven smile design are covered, DSD Provider is not a course about smile design.
The DSD Provider program has been developed as a course about much more than smile design – which is just one part of the whole DSD philosophy. While the course demonstrates the importance and basics of smile design, the session on smile design is not in-depth and is dedicated to the concept of facially-driven smile design.

In summary, DSD Provider is much more than a course about smile design.
Why is DSD Provider a good course to start with?
DSD Provider is the flagship DSD course, which lays the foundations for other courses in our portfolio such as DSD Clinical, a three day in person course that demonstrates DSD Clinical solutions on real patients or DSD Aligners, an online 6-session course that shows dentists and orthodontists how to achieve predictable and consistent results with aligners.
So in conclusion, while DSD Provider covers the basics of smile design, the program goes far beyond, laying the groundwork for modern comprehensive digital dentistry.
