Robert Coachman, Zahnarzt/-in

Christian Coachman is the specialist at Well Clinic Odontologia credited with creating Digital Smile Design (DSD) inside the clinic in 2003. The clinic describes DSD as a planning protocol used in more than 80 countries, and it emphasizes that the method is not “software” but a way of thinking. Before any sculpting, shaping, or bonding becomes permanent, the smile is designed in 3D, tested in a reversible mock-up, and validated by both the patient and the interdisciplinary team. The DSD workflow begins with a 3D intra-oral scan and moves into digital planning by the team. The clinic also describes its Well Lab as an in-house digital laboratory connected to the DSD workflow, supporting production after the reversible preview stage.
