Aesthetic Smile Design Excellence – iDD Academy

Home » Courses » Aesthetic Smile Design Excellence

The complete guided workflow for predictable aesthetic dentistry. Design it, sell it, deliver it, the same way every time.

Most dentists already own the scanner. What they do not own is the system, so the beautiful cases stay on Instagram, the big treatment plans get politely declined, and the veneer cases get referred out to someone with “the hands.” ASDE exists to end that. Talent is not the entry fee. The workflow is.

Across 8 modules, 41 chapters, and 193 video lessons (19 hours of close-up clinical teaching), Dr. Jameel Gardee and the Avant Garde faculty hand you the exact system running in their own award-winning digital practices. Digital Smile Design foundations. The patient conversation that gets big cases accepted. Then the delivery, filmed in real detail (FirstFit guided prep, no-prep veneers, injection molding, 3D-printed hybrids, clear-aligner integration), through to the practice systems and marketing that keep the chair full.

What you get

Lifetime access, entirely self-paced. No cohort, no deadlines. Rewatch any technique the night before you run it on a patient.
8 Implementation Playbooks. Fillable, printable chairside companions, with scripts, checklists, and decision guides that turn each module into Monday-morning action.
The private ASDE Community on WhatsApp. Post a real case, get real eyes on it, faculty included. The difference between owning this course and running it.
Certificate of Completion with 25 hours of CE/CPD (AGD PACE), earned by completing every lesson and chapter quiz, at your pace.
The Until-You-Succeed Promise. Bring cases, and we back you until the system works in your hands.

It is taught by clinicians who deliver these cases weekly: Dr. Jameel Gardee (Digital Smile Design Master and Instructor, certified by Christian Coachman), Dr. Robbie Hughes (founder of Avant Garde Dentistry), Dr. Bhavin Bhatt, Dr. Milad Shadrooh, and Emily Roscoe.

Real patients, real chairtime economics, zero idealized theory.

The course is $7,000 USD.

Well constructed Course

It has in-depth learning on 3D printing and patient assessment. We just didn't get to try the 3D printing hands-on.
