Everyday dental practice can sometimes feel like we're working in silos. When we lack time for team brainstorming - or bringing everyone together in person is impractical - we can find ourselves working ‘alone’ more often than we’d like. This can make comprehensive treatment planning difficult and mean that too many decisions are made by clinicians on their own.
The result? Resigning ourselves to shallow treatment plans, a low average ticket price and a lack of confidence to perform more comprehensive treatments.
If this sounds familiar, this article will show you the two ways that the DSD Provider course will help you simplify and improve your treatment planning while achieving even better results.

How does the DSD Provider course focus on improving treatment planning?
The primary aim of the DSD Provider course is to show you how high-quality dentistry can be made simpler. One important part of this is how to improve decision making in simple to complex cases in your clinic.
Put simply, it’s about delivering smiles with consistency through structuring treatment plans in a way that is realistic and achievable. DSD Provider will focus on helping you to do this not only during the course but also once you are back in your dental office.

How will I improve my decision making through the DSD Provider course?
1. By exploring proven workflows and real case examples
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.
The curriculum also shows the proven processes that DSD Clinics worldwide are already using to simplify how they make decisions in simple to complex cases. We will explore topics such as:
Treatment planning powered by digital:
The ‘purchase moment’
Interdisciplinary decision making powered by collective intelligence
Team communication
The digital lab growth
Dentist-technician synergy
Treatment planning powered by digital
In addition, you will experience workflows to simplify clinical planning in different specialities such as aligners, perio, implants and restorative.
2. By counting on the support of the interdisciplinary DSD Planning Center team
One of the great advantages of the DSD Provider course is that as a participant, you are given access to the DSD Planning Center smile design and treatment planning services. What does this mean? It means that you will be able to follow our proven workflows and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to avoid making decisions in isolation.
This will help you treatment-plan to a higher level and perform your cases with greater precision and confidence.
We also provide support to help you overcome the learning curve in getting started with these workflows. First, your course ticket includes a complimentary design product (worth $750) that you can use to work with us and experience our workflows and results in a patient case of your choice. Second, you will be able to complete the free onboarding training in our online DSD Planning Certification course.
