Why should you attend the DSD Residency 1 in Madrid this October? Perhaps you have heard or read about Digital Smile Design and are considering joining us for dental education? If you’re still thinking about it, here are five ways that you will benefit from taking the plunge and booking your place on this highly popular dentistry course.

1. Discover the DSD Concept

   There is no better way to understand the DSD Concept that is disrupting dentistry, than attending a DSD Residency. When you take the plunge and leave your comfort zone behind, you will be preparing yourself to succeed by being one step ahead of the game with this innovative new concept. 

   Across four days, you will be introduced to the basics of the DSD Workflow and clinic by Christian Coachman, experience a live patient demonstration of the first appointment and have a chance to get hands on, practicing how to perform the DSD documentation and patient 3D digitalization. You will also meet like-minded clinicians, some of whom are starting their DSD journey and others who can share excellent practice of their own experiences of being a DSD Clinic.
   
   
   

2. Understand facially-driven treatment planning

   Through a series of hands-on activities and lectures, you will have the opportunity to learn how digital smile design works. This will involve getting to grips with the complete digital system of DSD, so that you can become more efficient as a dentist and clinic, and differentiate yourself in the eyes of your clients. The DSD Residency will give you the skills to understand how you can improve your team communication through cloud dentistry and take full advantage of the DSD Planning Center to incorporate 3D digital interdisciplinary treatment planning.
   
   
   

3. Unleash the power of emotional dentistry

   Emotional dentistry will revolutionize how you communicate with your patients throughout their journey and will enable you to increase case acceptance. You will also learn powerful tools of storytelling and digital marketing from world leading speakers. This will be a chance to learn how you get your message out to the public, the most effective tools and strategies and how you can harness the power of technology to achieve this. Finally you will see first hand the impact you can have in the second appointment, where you show a preview of the patient’s new smile, with the live patient demonstration. 
   
   
   
   
   
   

4. Get hands-on with Digital Dentistry

   At DSD, we believe in using a hands-on approach so that you can get to grips with the DSD Planning Center products. By the end of the final day, you will be ready to implement DSD in your daily work. You will also get the opportunity to try products like the iTero Element scanners, in special evening events, so you can get fully equipped as a clinic to deliver the very best for your patients.
   
   
   

5. Be supported once the course ends

   Christian Coachman, DSD Founder and CEO explains:

“The course goal is to really generate a change, to feed people with information and enough energy to allow them on Monday morning to change or improve the way they practice. The DSD concept is divided in four main goals - design, plan, communicate and perform, and the four days of the DSD Residency cover these concepts in full. The goal is not only to give you the information on the course but also the support after the course as we know the challenge will happen Monday morning after the course ends.”

The DSD Residency is not the end of the journey, it's just the beginning. Once you are a part of the DSD family you will be supported by our team and have access to the DSD Planning Center which will enable you to put into practice all of the theory you have gained from the Residency.

Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what one of our participants, Dr Touissant Crawford, had to say, before and after attending a Residency:

Before:

“Before coming I all I really knew was that this was going to allow me to do a little bit more integration of my scanning into smile design and I'd also knew that I could do a little bit of implantology but I had no idea exactly how that was going to happen.”

After:

“I felt like the course was a lot of fun and I came here wanting to kind of seal up some gaps in my knowledge. I've spent a lot of time educating myself over the last 12 years. For me I feel like this Residency brought together all of those elements. I really feel confident about the path that I need to take and the list of things I need to do is long but I'm pretty happy with knowing where I want to go. I think it's going to be an exciting next six to 12 months for my for my office.”

Why choose Madrid for your DSD Residency?

DSD Residencies take place around the world in key locations. Here is what you can expect from attending one in Madrid, besides the incredible educational experience: 

Madrid is an excellent location for your DSD Residency. With its international airport just 30 minutes outside of the city, and great public transport links, it couldn’t be easier to access from across the world. In fact, Madrid–Barajas Airport has on average just less than 58 million passengers travelling through its terminals each year. Flight times from Dubai and New York are just eight hours, and from London just over 2 hours. For those travelling from neighbouring Germany and France, there is no time difference, and from London just an hour difference, making it ideal to step off the plane and get started!

When you get to Madrid, the weather in October is pleasantly hot with little rainfall. Perfect weather for taking a stroll through the city to take in the local culture. Admire the architecture with a visit to Madrid Royal Palace or the Plaza Mayor. For an unrivalled view of this stunning city, take a ride up the Faro de Moncloa, a former transmission tower that offers a panoramic view at 92 meters. There’s plenty of places to eat and drink and plenty of hotels to choose from.
