Transform patient consultations and boost treatment acceptance with Evident Smile Package. Our step-by-step guide empowers your team to achieve personalized, photorealistic smile transformations using patient data, including all necessary digital files for temporization through final smile delivery of appointments.
Let’s break it down into three simple steps:
Step 1. Gather Information During The Patient Visit (Record Appointment)
1.1 Prepare clinical facial photo of the patient
Here is a pro tip to click the perfect photo every single time.​
- Line up your camera about 5 feet away and take a photo of their smile. Zoom in to the face just enough to see the patient’s mouth but leave some space around the face so that the chin and forehead are not cut off.​
- A quick tip for taking photos is to enable a 3×3 grid. This can be done with any camera or smartphone. Aligning the top horizontal line with the eyes provides a perfect reference when taking photos​
- Snap a photo of their natural smile.
1.2 Capture intra-oral scans from your patient
Utilize intraoral scans to create a digital mold of your patient’s mouth. Three scans are required to ensure comprehensive and accurate data for treatment planning.
- Full Upper Arch: A complete scan of the upper teeth and gums.​
- Full Lower Arch: A complete scan of the lower teeth and gums.
- Bite: Make sure to scan the full arch for the most accurate bite registration.
Note: Double check if the bite is misaligned.
1.3 Compile Your Patient’s Treatment Plan Information
After completing your patient record appointment, you will need to gather and organize essential details for the case treatment planning. Please keep in mind that these are the files you can expect from us:
- Digital Smile Design presentation for the consultation
- 4 of the following digital CAD files for the procedure:
- Diagnostic Wax Up
- Trial Smile (One-piece veneer style to try in over the patient’s existing teeth)
- Virtually prepped shell temps (with a 0.6 mm virtual prep)
- Prepped shell temps (chairside prep and IOS scan)
- Shell temps (un-prepped model)
- Final restorations
Follow these steps to ensure you have all the necessary information.
- Collect Patient Demographics:
Patient’s name
Contact information
Date of birth - Document the Chief Complaint:
The main reason the patient is seeking treatment (e.g., dissatisfaction with their smile, concerns about worn-down teeth) - Summarize Diagnostic Findings:
Results from the clinical exam
Intraoral photos
Radiographs
Any other pertinent diagnostic tests - Record Treatment Goals:
Patient’s desired outcomes
Discuss aspects like aesthetic improvements, function enhancement, or bite correction
Once you have compiled all this information, you are ready to submit the case to us for Evident Smile Package.

If you are printing the design files you requested in-house, you can customize your fabrication preferences to streamline the process.
Follow these steps to ensure your design is ready for printing:
- Indicate In-House Fabrication: Select ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to indicate if you are fabricating in-house.
- Choose Your Printer: If you selected ‘Yes’ for in-house fabrication, choose your printer from the dropdown menu.
- Specify Resin Type: Enter the type of resin you will 3d print with.
- Select Pre-Nested Files: To make the fabrication process even easier, opt for pre-nested files. This ensures that your design is ready to print with proper supports, so all you need to do is drag, drop, and print. There is an additional fee of $10 per build plate for pre-nested files.
By setting these preferences, you can ensure a smooth and efficient printing process, with designs that are ready to go and require minimal preparation.
