The Virtual Patient Revolution: Transforming Diagnostics, Design & Delivery in Aesthetic Dentistry
Welcome to the future of cosmetic dentistry—a place where guesswork is eliminated, confidence is amplified, and patients can see their future smile before a handpiece is ever lifted. This isn't just about CBCT. It's about a revolutionary workflow that fuses advanced diagnostics with powerful emotional engagement tools to transform how you plan, present, and perform cosmetic procedures.
In this immersive session, Dr. Todd Snyder shares how he uses CBCT imaging to uncover unseen pathology, TMJ dysfunction, and structural issues—and then pairs it with facial scanning and intraoral data to construct a lifelike 3D virtual patient. With this integrated digital model, you'll learn how to design, prototype, and deliver smile makeovers with unmatched precision, predictability, and profitability.
The real magic? These tools don’t just enhance clinical outcomes—they sell the vision of possibility. Learn how to go from diagnosis to digital design to final delivery.
Learning Objectives:
- Unlock Hidden Diagnostic Power with CBCT
Learn how to detect structural issues, joint dysfunction, airway obstructions, and other hidden factors that influence aesthetics and function. - Create a 3D Virtual Patient That Sells the Vision
Understand how combining CBCT, facial, and intraoral scans builds a powerful visual experience that elevates treatment planning and case acceptance. - Master the Art of Emotional Visualization
Discover how digital and printed mockups become sales tools—bridging the gap between what patients want and what they’re willing to say yes to. - Move from Digital Design to Physical Reality
Translate your designs into preparation guides, printed prototypes, and final restorations that precisely mirror the vision presented. - Elevate Your Brand, Profitability, and Patient Experience
Learn how this digital ecosystem positions you as the go-to cosmetic expert—commanding higher case values and delivering white-glove results.

Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Mini-Residency at UCSD
Cone Beam CT and its capabilities for more detailed imaging information and communication have changed the landscape of dentistry.
This mini-residency is an update of the standard of care in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and treating patients and the dental/medical-legal implications.
The mini-residency also features DEXIS CBCT scans, several applications of DTX software, and many artificial intelligence applications in dental radiology.
Day 1
January 15th, 2026
8:30 to 12:00
- Anatomy. Various anatomic structures of the oral and maxillofacial area and their common radiological appearance using intraoral, extraoral, and cone beam CT images.
- Multiplanar reconstructions. Axial, coronal, and sagittal views are used to describe the anatomy.
- Radiographic guidelines. Visualize bony lesions in 3 dimensions.
1:30 to 5:00
- Cyst and benign lesions. Overview of the benign lesion that can develop from both odontogenic and nonodontogenic tissues in the maxilla and mandible.
- Neural and vascular lesions.
- Fibro-osseous lesions. Fibrous dysplasia in the jaw and their multiple presentations. Their specific radiographic presentations in establishing a diagnosis.
- Malignancies. Malignant lesions often have serious consequences, including disfigurement and death. The radiographic characteristic appearance of malignancies.
- Role of radiographic imaging in diagnosis. Osteonecrotic lesions and treatment options.
Day 2
January 16th, 2026
8:30 to 12:00
- Endodontics. Guidelines of the American Association of Endodontics
- The benefits and limitations of CBCT in endodontics.
- Identification of some differences in the diagnostic abilities of 2D- and 3D-imaging technologies.
- Management of CBCT in endodontics. Importance of assessing endodontic patients on an individual basis.
1:30 to 5:00
- Implant surgery. Dental CBCT is justified for presurgical diagnosis, preoperative planning, and preoperative transfer for oral implant rehabilitation.
- Periodontal disease. CBCT displays 3D images for the diagnosis of intra bony defects, furcation involvements, and buccal/lingual bone destructions.
Day 3
January 17th, 2026
8:30 to 12:00
- Dental surgery and dental impactions. Over projection between the third molar and the mandibular canal.
- Signs that suggest a close contact between the molar and the canal when to use CBCT.
- TMJ Assessment. Osteoarthritis (OA), juvenile OA, rheumatoid arthritis and related joint diseases, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and other intra-articular conditions.
- CBCT used as a cost- and dose-effective imaging modality for the diagnostic assessment of a variety of TMJ conditions. CBCT has been found to be superior to conventional radiographical examinations as well as MRI in assessment of the TMJ.
1:30 to 5:00
- Sleep Apnea.
- Evaluation of the upper airway dimensions of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and control subjects using a cone-beam computed tomography.
- Assessment of the airway dimensions.
- Incidental findings on CBCT.
- With low to intermediate clinical importance.
- With potentially high clinical importance.
