From single-tooth replacements to full arch rehabilitations, the Straumann Smile in a Box digital treatment planning and manufacturing service gives dental professionals the flexibility to cater to individual patient needs and provide personalised treatment plans

Straumann’s Smile in a Box offers a comprehensive solution for various clinical scenarios, enabling dental clinicians to deliver a wide range of dental restorations. Whether your patient is requiring a single crown, bridge or dentures, this all-in-one service includes everything needed to deliver high quality, predictable, and aesthetic dental restorations using the Straumann implant system. With it you can outsource parts of the digital workflow as and when you require – you simply select the services you need and Straumann will deliver everything you need in a single box.

One of the primary advantages of Straumann Smile in a Box is this simplified workflow. As everything is supplied in one package, it eliminates the need to source components from multiple suppliers. This simplification saves both time and effort, allowing you to focus on what you do best, providing optimal patient care.

Cost-effective choice

Investing in the Straumann Smile in a Box system is a cost-effective choice too. By purchasing the complete kit, dentists can potentially save money compared to individually sourcing components. Additionally, the reduced chair time, simplified workflow, and predictable outcomes contribute to increased patient satisfaction and potentially generate positive reviews and referrals, leading to business growth.

Straumann is known for its commitment to delivering aesthetically pleasing dental restorations. The Smile in a Box system incorporates this commitment by offering high-quality materials and components that ensure excellent aesthetics. The system allows dental clinicians to achieve natural-looking and harmonious results, making patients feel confident and satisfied with their new smiles.

How does it work?

So, how does this all work in practice? Following a consultation with a patient requiring dental implant treatment, you submit the case to the Smile in a Box team. This requires you to upload a patient’s CBCT scan, along with STL files of the patient’s upper and lower jaws and bite registration. You can then opt for treatment to be completed by the team at Smile in a Box, or not. It’s up to you. The treatment plan will be developed based on your case data. This will be reviewed and approved by you via a webinar session. You can therefore maintain control over the case, and access the high standard Straumann digital treatment planning workflow, without needing to bring the software in-house.

Once the treatment plan is finalised, the Smile in a Box team is able to produce a customised surgical guide and restorative design. This is all based on the treatment plan you have signed off. Having approved these aspects, the Smile in a Box team will carry out precise, high quality centralised CAD/CAM production of these items. Of course, you can choose to carry out these steps in-house, again, it’s up to you.

Once the components have been made, they are carefully packed into a box. They are then shipped to you 10 days after your final approval. This means that, when the day of the dental implant treatment arrives, you’ll have everything you need.
