SUMMARY:General Membership Meeting: Simplifying Digital Smile Design with the DDS Suite - 3/11/27
DESCRIPTION:Digital dentistry has raised the bar for precision\, efficiency\, and patient-centered care. 2D and 3D smile simulations and digital wax-ups let clinicians visualize\, plan\, and execute treatment with exceptional clarity\, streamlining workflow\, reducing chair time\, improving accuracy\, and letting patients preview their results before treatment begins. Yet the pace of that change carries its own cost with many clinicians feel pressured to invest in expensive systems or absorb lab responsibilities that pull them away from the chair\, and from the main reason they became dentists in the first place – patient care. \nDr. Pescatore’s approach is built on simplicity: a modern digital workflow that requires no full in-house lab\, sharpens communication with the lab\, elevates the patient experience\, and restores focus to chairside dentistry. This webinar shows you how to fold chairside digital design into daily practice — whether you are new to digital design or refining a workflow you already use. \nKey Takeaways for Attendees: \n\nOpen the cosmetic conversation in minutes — Simplify and execute 2D smile simulations that engage patients in what is possible\, right at the chair.\nDesign in real time — Harness live 3D smile simulations during the consultation and apply the versatile Pescatore Tooth Library™ to customize esthetic design case by case.\nVerify occlusion with one click — Use built-in occlusion tools for one-click adjustment\, then evaluate the result through heat map visualization.\nPresent and export without extra steps — Deliver a one-click presentation that makes the case persuasively\, then export scans directly to your printer or your lab.\nKnow the case before you pick up the handpiece — Understand the parameters of every case in advance — building patient confidence and the motivation to move forward with treatment.\n\nThe Digital Suite presented will help you elevate your patient presentations\, improve treatment acceptance\, and bring digital artistry back to the hands of the clinician which is where it belongs. \nBiography: \nDr. Christopher Pescatore is a national and international lecturer who has written articles for numerous publications\, including Practical Periodontics and Aesthetic Dentistry\, Profiles\, Dentistry Today\, Compendium\, Dental Economics\, and Inside Dentistry to name a few. He lectures on state-of-the-art aesthetic procedures\, CAD/CAM techniques\, and materials\, and holds a U.S. patent for non-metallic post system to restore endodontically-treated teeth. Dr. Pescatore is the creator and developer of the Digital Dental Sculptor Suite which creates 3D smile mockups chairside using a simple and intuitive workflow. \nHe is a past member of the Board of Directors and the editorial team member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)\, former Clinical Co-Director and former featured lecturer at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies\, past instructor of the Advanced Aesthetic Program at New York University- College of Dentistry\, the Aesthetic Continuum at Baylor College of Dentistry\, and the Aesthetic Program at the University of Kentucky. Dr. Pescatore also evaluates and assists in the development of products for several leading dental manufacturers and laboratories and is on the editorial board of the prestigious publications REALITY – the information source for cosmetic dentistry. \nDr. Pescatore is a graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey – New Jersey Dental School. He maintains a full-time practice dedicated exclusively to aesthetic restorative dentistry in Danville\, California.
