Globally Renowned Dentist Dr. Coachman to Deliver Exclusive Lectures on Digital Smile Design in Dubai

Beautiful smiles are no longer left to chance as dentistry meets digital tech – local clinic Vilafortuny to host lectures, demos and workshop on revolutionary new tool

Cosmetic dentistry is on the rise in the Middle East and a new conceptual tool, Digital Smile Design, or DSD, is courting increasing interest from dental practitioners within the region. To scale up understanding of this new approach to dental treatment planning, Dubai-based clinic Vilafortuny has invited internationally recognised DSD expert Dr. Christian Coachman to conduct lectures, live demonstrations and hands-on activities at its in-house training centre later this month, over October 25 and 26.

“The DSD approach improves the smile design process in the simplest way possible: it puts the patient in the driver’s seat. With this technology, patients can work with their dentists to map out and evaluate their dental treatment plans in a precise, predictable manner,” explains Dr. Coachman. “My lectures are targeted at developing practical protocols for incorporating this technology into workflow, and using it to boost efficiency and client satisfaction.”

Dr. Coachman has thus far been invited to give hundreds of lectures around the world in the last few years on the topics of smile design, aesthetic dentistry and oral rehabilitation. His visit to Dubai comprises part of his second tour to the Middle East this year. Dr. Coachman’s two-day programme will elaborate on Digital Smile Design, Digital Interdisciplinary Workflow and the Emotional Dentistry concepts.

“Vilafortuny’s training centre is geared to better equip medical and dental practitioners operating with the Middle East to meet the region’s growing needs. Our lectures, workshops and certifications are designed to keep these professionals up-to-date with new developments in their respective fields. Digital Smile Design is a relatively fresh concept capable of taking cosmetic dentistry to the next level, which is why we have asked Dr. Coachman to share his knowledge and expertise with us,” says Dr. Kathrin Trelles, founder of Vilafortuny.

Celebrated doctors from across Europe and America are continuously being booked by the Dubai-based clinic to conduct courses at the DHA-accredited training centre, which will incorporate hands-on training and live demonstrations.
