Increase Dental Happiness More patients better shades & improved aesthetics.
What we must do, is to take the patient on a dental journey. A dental dream – shared between your patient, your team and yourself, which you are about to turn into a reality. A first requisite for this is a well-thought-out emotional visual concept. Most of us will be familiar with the DSD (Digital Smile Design), which is a really good concept. However, it is mostly a treatment plan talking to us, the dental professionals. It is much too complicated to implement in a general practice, let alone that it will mean anything at all to the patient. Obviously, we could opt for designing a traditional mock-up or a digital visual mock-up. Yet it is not hard to see why sticky and often incorrectly colored mock-ups or cold and emotionless animations are not exactly healthy ingredients of the dental dream. Both techniques stimulate the rational, thinking part of the brain, therefore having an opposite effect. In short, up until now, a well-thought-out emotional visual concept has been sorely lacking.
Twinsmile is a proven concept in which several unique presentation tools are used. It starts off by carrying out a qualitative, yet simple digital Smile-analysis (Ios App store). Then, the CADCAM produced Testeneers are created and fixed to the patient’s teeth, and finally, the patient will experience his or her most attractive smile during the before and after video presentation.
The second part of the presentation will be showing you how to implement the fourth dimension of communication with the right materials and techniques in final high quality restoration.
- Increase patient case acceptance rate of up to 70%.
- Learn more about the lithium type and full Hybrid materials, and explain what you have to pay attention to in order to obtain the highest aesthetic quality.
- Easy shade communication and shade modification. Possible chair side solutions.
Vanik Kaufmann-Jinoian grew up in Switzerland, in a city close to Basel, where he went to school and received his training in order to become a certified dental technician. In the years after, he optimized his dental skills in various dental laboratories in Switzerland. During this training period, he spent one year in the United States to master the skills of marketing. Upon his return to Switzerland, he started working for the Vita Company. At that time, he was the youngest ceramic demonstrator in the world - teaching ceramic courses all around the world.
Currently, he owns a state-of-the-art dental laboratory close to Basel, which he founded in 1990. This lab covers all aspects of modern dentistry. Various dental companies use his lab for testing new dental materials, mostly because of Vanik’s knack for research and development of new techniques. Amongst others, he is named as one of the initiators of the Inlab CAD-CAM systems for dental labs.
Besides the activities in his own laboratory, Vanik has taught at the master technicians school in Switzerland and at the University of Greifswald in Germany for the CAD/CAM master course for dentists. Over the last few years, he has been teaching dentists how to achieve high quality restorations using chair-side units. He has published a book on this topic and wrote many articles for various dental magazines around the world. He is a well-known speaker at major symposiums. He with his partners developed the Twinsmile system. For this System they received the German medical award of 2015.
