Episode Summary

Dr. Shaw shares how he’s transforming cosmetic dentistry in his practice with an innovative system for creating composite veneers chairside — no printing, no lab work, and no mess. It starts with a simple intraoral scan uploaded to the Clarity Portal. Within 48 hours, he receives a digital wax-up and a 3D preview of the final case. And when patients see it, their response is almost always the same: “When can we start?”
