The Smile Test Drive (& Beyond), From Curiosity to Case Acceptance

Digital smile designs and in-face visualizations are valuable, however, the most persuasive moment is when a patient holds a mirror and sees their own beautiful new smile in about an hour, with no design cost. The Smile Test Drive provides patients with a natural-looking, fast, and efficient preview that turns hesitation into clarity and case acceptance.

In this lecture and hands-on workshop, Dr. Marvin Berlin demonstrates a step-by-step chairside prototype mock-up workflow, including preparation planning for prepless and minimal-prep veneers. Attendees will also learn efficient photography and quick video editing skills, social media tips, matrix and material choices, shade and texture techniques, and simple patient communication that confirms the overall cosmetic vision. Participants leave with the confidence to deliver instant smiles in their office on Monday morning.

3 CE Credits | 5:30–9:00 PM

• Perform a chairside Smile Test Drive on a typodont using simple steps, from isolation through finish and polish, with a target efficiency of approximately five minutes per tooth
