SEPT 19 — OCT 24, 2026
A 6-Part Clinical System for Predictable Smile Design, Case Acceptance and Practice Growth
Clear, Repeatable Clinical Frameworks
Most clinicians don’t struggle with knowledge, they struggle with consistency. This course gives you a structured system for diagnosis, smile design, treatment planning, and patient communication so you can reduce surprises, improve case acceptance, and deliver more predictable outcomes.
The First Step in Predictable Smile Design

INCLUDED WITH COURSE
Move beyond instinct-led decision-making and build a framework you can trust under pressure. Through real cases, practical tools, and proven workflows, you’ll learn how to see more, miss less, and create a better experience for both patients and your team.
TOOL 01
Capture every Macro, Mid, and Micro finding in one structured record, from facial proportions to occlusal indicators, so the case is fully seen before treatment is considered.
TOOL 02
Synthesize what the face permits, what the patient hopes for, and what health and stability require into a single clinical destination — captured before any treatment option is generated.
TOOL 03
Trace every treatment recommendation back to a specific diagnostic finding, so each plan is sequenced, defensible, and grounded in the case rather than reverse-engineered from familiar techniques.
TOOL 04
Structure each presentation around the patient’s own words, photographs, and concerns — turning a recommendation into a decision the patient can actually make, without pressure and without selling.
COURSE INSTRUCTOR
BDS, MSc
Dr. Elaine Halley has spent over thirty years in private practice and is one of the UK's most recognized voices in comprehensive treatment planning. She graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1992, achieved her MSc in Aesthetic and Restorative Dentistry with Distinction from the University of Manchester, and completed advanced cosmetic dentistry training at the Rosenthal Institute in New York.
A founder and past president of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Halley remains one of only a handful of accredited members in the UK. She is a Digital Smile Design KOL, an official DSD instructor, and a member of Align Technology's Global Faculty. She is the principal dentist at Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth, Scotland, the practice she founded in 1995, and the Clinical Director of the Pain Free Dental Group across Scotland, where she mentors associates on diagnosis and treatment planning every week.
Her premise is straightforward: most cases that don't go to plan aren't skill problems. They're diagnosis problems. The Smile Analysis System is the framework she built to make complete diagnosis achievable in a live clinical environment. It's the system she uses on every comprehensive case in her own practice. In her words, "your mouth is like a 3D jigsaw puzzle. If you're changing one part of it, that has a knock-on effect with everything else." Her work, her teaching, and her textbook Smile Analysis all start from that single observation.
THE RIGHT FIT
You’re tired of the first-appointment rush — and you suspect a different appointment structure is the answer.
You want a diagnostic system your whole team can speak, not a personal trick that lives in your head.
You’re prepared to commit to the three live sessions and the on-demand modules that prepare you for them.
