A one-day hands-on course in True Smile Design. Refine restorations through provisional PMMA prototypes and real-time patient feedback.

Provisional PMMA Patient-centric Hands-on artistry

Natural, individualized smile restoration

The essence

Design that evolves — not a rigid blueprint.

True Smile Design challenges the conventional approach of finalizing esthetic plans before any clinical work begins. Upfront digital mockups may look impressive, but they often fail to reflect the realities that emerge once treatment starts.

Instead, the first provisional becomes a diagnostic tool — an esthetic prototype. Intraoral scans of that provisional and the prepared teeth create a second, more accurate prototype that is facially driven, functionally informed, and highly individualized.

The method

From plan to artistry, in three movements.

Visualize

A streamlined digital smile plan and a quick wax-up set direction — references to guide, not rules to obey.

Prototype

Provisional PMMA restorations mirror the final in size, shape, and color, then evolve with the patient’s feedback.

Realize

The refined prototype becomes the blueprint for the definitive restoration in ceramic or zirconia.

Curriculum

Concept in the morning. Craft in the afternoon.

Course guide

Learning objectives & practical information

Learning objectives

Use the initial smile plan and wax-up as references for an individualized restoration.
Develop and assess provisional PMMA prototypes for tooth form, esthetics, fit, and function.
Combine intraoral records, facial references, and patient feedback to refine the prototype.
Communicate the approved provisional as a reference for the definitive restoration.
Review the transfer of the refined design to ceramic or zirconia.

What to expect

A one-day course combining the morning concept session with afternoon hands-on refinement, as outlined in the curriculum above. Participants work through the provisional-driven design process and discuss how patient feedback informs the final result.
