Designing Smiles with Coachman
06.-07.11.2026. Kaptol Boutique Cinema Zagreb
This upcoming November, “DBL Group” and “MedLink” are bringing to Zagreb one of the world’s biggest names in dental medicine – Dr. Christian Coachman, founder of the globally popular concept “Digital Smile Design” (DSD).
Save the dates November 6th and 7th, 2026, in your clinical education calendar, because that’s when we will spend two days with Dr. Coachman at the Kaptol Boutique Cinema in Zagreb.
“Designing Smiles with Coachman” is a working course intended for anyone who wants to advance in dentistry and has the following challenges:
- You know something is wrong with the smile of the patient whose dental work has just been delivered, but the exact reasons are not always clear to you.
- You don’t get exactly the smile design you wanted from the dental lab. You’re not sure if the problem was your instructions or a lack of communication.
- You would like to design smiles yourself, when necessary, but you do not have the right skills.
- You do not have a high-quality system developed for analyzing dental work received from the dental laboratory and generating clear instructions on possible changes.
- You lack the skills to correct temporary and final restorations. The dental work delivered is not always ideal, so you often have to rely on others to improve or correct it.
- It’s hard for you to convince patients that you are not only an excellent clinician but also an excellent smile designer – patients take the aesthetics of your restorations for granted.
Why is smile design skill important?
- Smile design determines the aesthetic outcome and the quality of the treatment. For the patient, the aesthetic outcome represents the quality of the entire treatment – this is what patients pay the most attention to. This outcome is closely related to the “DSD Guided dentistry” guidelines.
- The smile design determines the treatment plan and is its starting point. The appropriate smile design is the reference point for decision-making in treatment planning. This outcome is closely linked to the “DSD Comprehensive Dentistry” guidelines.
- Smile design influences acceptance of the treatment plan because it creates an emotional connection between the patient and the treatment plan. This outcome is associated with the “DSD Emotional Dentistry” guidelines.
We will soon be publishing a detailed program and opening early registrations.
