What are your current goals for your clinic?
With an emphasis on simplifying processes and using technology to improve outcomes, the DSD Provider course is for dentists who want effective solutions to everyday problems – and who are ready to start implementing what they learn in their clinic workflows to see an impact right now.
In this article we will outline four problems that the DSD Provider course can help you to address.
1. You don’t have pragmatic digital systems to implement in your clinic right now
The DSD Provider course isn’t about complicating treatment planning decision making but simplifying it; rather than being more ambitious with digital, it’s about becoming more realistic and efficient with digital.
That’s why it’s the ideal course for you if you need implementation-focused, proven solutions that can help you start seeing results in your clinic right now. The DSD Provider curriculum is designed to blend learning about the digital workflow with patient experience and treatment planning, with the focus firmly on how you can implement these strategies successfully in your work.
In addition, a huge advantage of this course is that as a participant, you will have the option to work with the DSD Planning Center on your patient cases. To support you to implement what you learn after the course is over, you will receive full onboarding training in how to work with the DSD Planning Center as well as a complimentary product to try the services for yourself.
And while working with the DSD Planning Center is certainly an option you have available to you as a course participant, DSD Provider offers strategies that can benefit you even if you choose not to work with DSD after completing the course.
2. You don’t get the consistently high quality results you need from your lab
Wanting to improve dentist-lab communication is something we hear dentists talking about time and time again. Addressing this issue comes down to adopting robust systems and clear communication, and this is something that participants gain on the DSD Provider course. You will not only learn these systems and workflows but understand how to make them a reality in your daily clinic life.
At the DSD Planning Center, our team includes smile designers, engineers, dental technicians, dentists, orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons and more. When you work with us on your patient cases, this interdisciplinary team applies their breadth of knowledge to help you design and plan your case and ensure the best possible results.

3. You experience stress due to making treatment planning decisions alone
In everyday dental practice, diagnosis and comprehensive treatment planning can be difficult. In addition, a lack of time for in-person team brainstorming can mean that too many treatment decisions are often made by clinicians on their own. As a result, dentists may become used to shallow treatment plans, a low average ticket price and a lack of confidence to perform more comprehensive treatments.
At DSD, we have built systems to support decision making when it comes to treatment planning cases – and the DSD Provider course will use real case examples to demonstrate them and how they work in action. What’s more, after the course you will receive the support of the DSD Planning Center’s multi-specialist team to treatment-plan to a higher level and perform with more precision and confidence.

4. You struggle to build an authentic connection with your patients
Some of DSD’s most well-known strategies are designed to help you communicate with your patients in a way that motivates them, builds trust and conveys the real value of the treatment you offer. The DSD Provider course is your entry point to learn these proven techniques, which include:
Emotional Dentistry
Treatment presentation strategies
Perceived value creation
DSD App demo
Live patient mock up demo
How to manage patient appointments
As a course participant, you will also have the option to work with the DSD Planning Center to design and plan patient cases in a way that will be more attractive to your ideal patients and improve case acceptance. In addition, you can access the DSD App free of charge to easily create compelling patient smile simulations.
