About this Webinar

Digital dentistry continues to evolve beyond intraoral scanning alone. By incorporating 3D facial scanning and AI-powered facial analysis into the digital workflow, clinicians can evaluate the patient’s face, smile, tooth position, and occlusal relationships to create more predictable, patient-specific treatment plans.

In this webinar, Dr. Dean Vafiadis will demonstrate how 3D facial scanning can be integrated with intraoral scanning, photography, CBCT imaging, facebow transfer, and digital design to create a comprehensive digital patient.

Through clinical applications including smile design, dentures, and All-on-X treatment, attendees will see how facially driven data can help establish ideal midlines, incisal edge position, buccal corridors, lip support, occlusal planes, and vertical dimension.

Dr. Vafiadis will also explore how AI-assisted analysis and technologies such as Shining 3D MetiSmile can help streamline communication between the clinician and laboratory, reduce guesswork and unnecessary adjustments, and create a more efficient and predictable digital workflow from initial planning through final restoration.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • Explain the role of 3D facial scanning in evaluating facial landmarks, tooth position, smile design, and occlusal relationships.
  • Integrate facial scanning with intraoral scans, CBCT imaging, photography, and facebow records to develop a comprehensive digital patient workflow.
  • Apply facially driven digital planning to smile design, denture, and All-on-X treatment.
  • Identify how AI-assisted facial analysis can support treatment planning for midline position, incisal edge position, buccal corridors, lip support, occlusal plane, and vertical dimension.
  • Recognize opportunities to improve clinical and laboratory efficiency by incorporating 3D facial scanning into restorative and implant workflows.
