HYBRID PROGRAM
Plan and Present Esthetic Cases Before You Touch a Handpiece
Join a step-by-step hybrid experience to reduce chair time, streamline communication, and ethically present high-value cases.
Powered by Smilecloud and 3DNA
Turn every case into a masterpiece - with digital precision and predictable esthetics
This hybrid program is for dentists who want to simplify their esthetic workflow without lowering their standards.
You’ll learn how to guide patients and labs with clarity from the first photo - using Smilecloud and our custom-designed Smile Protocol™ to reduce uncertainty, align expectations, and raise the standard of your smile cases.
Why is this program different?
It’s built around The Smile Protocol™ - our custom developed, digital-first workflow for composite and ceramic veneers, powered by Smilecloud 2D and 3DNA.
The Smile Protocol™ started as a simple idea:
"What if we could design, present, and plan beautiful cases with less back-and-forth, and more clarity from day one?"
That idea has since become the backbone of how my team collaborates and how we communicate with patients. And today, it’s what I teach to clinicians who want more clarity, better collaboration, and confident case delivery - from the first photo to the final result.
What happens when you apply The Smile Protocol™?
Reduce patient chair time significally
Shorten appointments with pre-visualized mockups and guided planning.
Align your team with visual precision
Communicate plans clearly across your entire workflow, from planning to lab coordination.
Upsell ethically with transparency
Show patients what’s possible, and why - using 3D previews, not hype.
Get patients excited before they commit
Spark early buy-in by showing the transformation before it starts.
What actually makes patients say "Yes!" more often
Most patients aren’t asking about design plans. They’re wondering: will it hurt, how long will it take, and what will it cost?
This focus makes it harder to align expectations with our ultimate goal - a beautiful, natural smile with minimal interventions.
To solve this, I tested multiple design tools over the years, but Smilecloud quickly became our go-to.
It offered the freedom we needed to pre-visualize treatment options clearly - for our team, and for the patient.
More importantly, it supported interdisciplinary planning and included digital libraries that helped our technicians execute with precision.
The Smile Protocol™ emerged from this workflow - combining digital mockups, patient collaboration, and a clear plan from day one. Whether we use composite or ceramic veneers, the result is the same:
Patients love seeing their potential smile after just one photo. And when they can see it - they’re far more likely to say yes.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
A hybrid format designed for real clinical progress
You are getting access to a complete protocol you’ll apply in your own workflow - with support every step of the way.
Inside the program, I walk you through real cases, show exactly how we plan and present esthetic treatments, and share the tools we actually use in the clinic.
You’ll get live sessions, recorded cases, and feedback so you can make steady progress without second-guessing.
Within a few weeks, most participants are already applying the protocol to real cases - noticing smoother planning and more confident patient conversations.

The Smile Protocol composite veneers From Smile design to 3DNA blueprint
Preview few case examples from our students
Composite veneers
Composite veneer design is typically a great starting point in the 3DNA smile design process. It enables participants to visualize the aesthetics of a smile and understand how three-dimensional shapes affect its design in real time. This example comes from one of my participants from Canada who took part in the program.
a full mouth rehabilitation
Designing a full mouth rehabilitation case with crown lengthening becomes significantly easier when we have a 3D patient avatar to reference. This approach allows all team members, including the technician, to share a unified vision and ensures that the patient is actively involved in the final outcome. This way, there are no surprises.

Program Curriculum
This hybrid program is divided into two essential modules. Each builds on the last and both are required to fully apply The Smile Protocol in your daily work.
MODULE 1: The Smile Protocol & Veneer Planning
Learn how to use Smilecloud 2D to design, present, and execute esthetic veneer cases with clarity and confidence. You’ll go from smile design principles to full digital-to-clinical execution using our custom workflow for composite and ceramic veneers.
1. SMILECLOUD ESSENTIALS
2. The Smile Protocol – Esthetic Foundation
MODULE 2: Crown Lengthening, Tissue Management & Surgical Design
In this module, we take things further - combining Smilecloud 3DNA with advanced tissue planning protocols to ensure long-term esthetic outcomes.
How It Works
(4-week hybrid format)
→ 3DNA segmentation + soft tissue case planning

What some students say
Maximillian Konz
oral surgeon and Clinic owneR
“This was a game-changer. I’ve done other courses, but this one made me actually use the workflow in my clinic right away. The protocol is practical, not just theoretical.”
Urška Zemljić
prosthodontics and restorative clinician
“For the first time, I feel confident explaining esthetic options to patients - and they understand. The 3DNA visuals made it easier for both me and my technician.”
Haakon Kuit
oral surgeon and Clinic owneR
“Honestly, I didn’t expect to implement so quickly. Just one photo, and we had a mockup ready. My patient said: ‘That’s exactly what I want.’ That’s never happened before.”
Hrvoje Bračić
Clinic owner and prosthodontis
“I appreciated the balance of clinical depth and practical delivery. The Smile Protocol fills a real gap in how we communicate esthetics with our teams and patients.”

Don't worry - all the recordings along with all of the pre-recorded materials are available INDEFINITELY in our Smilecloud Program group So you can rewatch everything any time!
It is not necessary. The concept of this course is that everyone can easily onboard regardless if you have any smilecloud experience or not.
If it's your first time you will have detailed tutorials on how to easily start with smile design and slowly progress to more advanced options.
If you are already experienced we will show you detailed know-how? developed through an experience of 700+ completed cases where you will see clinical videos together with multidisciplinary approach and dental technicians tips and tricks.
