Fall CCDC with Dr Todd Snyder
Course Description
Artificial intelligence is no longer something coming in the future. It is already changing how patients find dentists, how practices communicate, how teams operate, how treatment is diagnosed, how smiles are designed, and how cosmetic dentistry is delivered.
This course will show dentists how to use AI as a strategic weapon inside the modern aesthetic practice. Built around the LEGION framework of Attract, Convert, and Deliver, this lecture will reveal how artificial intelligence can help create better marketing, stronger patient communication, faster content creation, automated follow-up, improved diagnostic awareness, digital smile visualization, streamlined consultation documentation, enhanced case presentation, and more predictable treatment delivery.
The course will go over procedures for veneer waxup, mockups and prep design as well as provisionals, and cementation protocols. We will also contrast composite bonding and resin chairside veneers along with printed resin veneers.
The goal is not to replace the dentist. The goal is to build a smarter, faster, more profitable, more systemized practice that allows the dentist and team to attract better patients, convert more opportunities, deliver higher-level care, and create a more powerful aesthetic brand.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Identify how AI can be used to attract higher-value aesthetic and cosmetic patients through content creation, message development, automated posting, image generation, Meta ad optimization, AI search visibility, and online patient engagement.
2. Describe how AI-driven automation can improve the new patient journey through website chat, AI call answering, online scheduling, new patient forms, insurance verification, automated email campaigns, and follow-up systems.
3. Explain how AI can support patient conversion by improving diagnostic awareness, enhancing case presentation, documenting consultations, generating treatment opportunities, and helping patients visualize the emotional and aesthetic value of treatment.
4. Evaluate how technologies such as AI radiographic analysis, digital smile design, facial scanning, intraoral scanning, CBCT integration, and 3D virtual patient workflows can improve aesthetic treatment planning.
5. Discuss how AI can improve clinical delivery by helping the dentist and laboratory transfer the digital vision into a final result that more closely matches the planned aesthetic outcome.
6. Veneer preparation designs, provisionals and cementation
