After the unexpected events of 2020, dental professionals worldwide will completely understand the importance of being ready to change, adapt and innovate at a moment’s notice. When plans are altered, it’s our time to seek new ways to provide value. This is one reason that led us to launch our online learning platform, WatchDSD

WatchDSD is our all-new premium video streaming platform, purpose-built to provide our community with comprehensive online training on DSD’s modern smile design techniques, workflows and concepts. As well as being our new hub for all DSD video-learning modules to date, it will be your go-to site for newly created video content which will be added each month – including the unmissable clinical Masterclasses with Christian Coachman.

WatchDSD is Education and Entertainment

“At DSD we believe professional education should not just be about world class information and ground breaking ideas, we want it to be an enjoyable experience too. That’s why we created the WatchDSD platform to host all the best of our learning. We like to think of it as our version of Netflix, only better!” 

- Christian Coachman

Online learning for dentists, clinic owners and team members – all in one place

We think of WatchDSD as the ideal platform for every dental professional who would love full access to a broad range of clinical and theoretical educational material in a highly watchable format. With a library of engaging content applicable to all aspects of life and work in a dental clinic, WatchDSD has something for general dentists and specialists, clinic owners and team members, dental lab technicians and dental marketing executives.

Whether you like bite-sized learning on the go or total immersion in a whole class, WatchDSD will work for your educational style.
