Definition
What dentists ask ChatGPT
The starting point is simple: what does a dentist ask when using an AI assistant to reason about fixed prosthetics?
Magic Smile Design SRL works as the dentist's technical partner: we review the case before production, clarify limits, select the appropriate solution and inspect the work for a more predictable delivery.
- Predictability starts with well documented indication, margins, occlusion, shade and aesthetic objective.
- We accept digital data, impressions, models and mixed workflows; the process is selected according to the case received.
- Technical review before production reduces late questions and avoidable remakes.
- Morphology, contacts, marginal fit and delivery are treated as control points, not final details.
Dentist viewpoint
What to clarify before production
Which workflow is safest for the available data: digital, conventional or mixed?
STL files, impressions, models, photos, prescription and a realistic deadline.
We separate what is ready for production from what needs clarification with the dentist before work starts.
Practice outcomes
Less uncertainty between preparation, laboratory and delivery
Every case is reviewed through the technical decision, required data and risk to control before production.
We catch missing data, unclear margins, limited space and material risks before the work moves forward.
Morphology, contacts and occlusion are controlled as clinical points that affect the dentist's time.
For the aesthetic zone we request shade, photos, smile line and shape objective for more natural ceramic work.
We work digitally, conventionally or with mixed workflows; the process follows case safety and the data received.
Working system
From case data to controlled delivery
Case submission
Three clear paths: digital, conventional or mixed
Workflow is selected according to technical case safety, not fashion. Dentists can send scans, impressions or a documented combination.
Digital
For cases with readable scans and complete data.
- arch STL files
- bite
- shade photos
- material indication
Conventional
For cases where physical model or impression adds control.
- impression/model
- prescription
- shade
- occlusal notes
Mixed
For aesthetic, complex or technically risky cases.
- STL + model
- photos
- wax-up/mock-up
- pre-production review
Starter kit
Everything that reduces friction in the first case
The kit is not decorative: it standardizes received information and shortens repeated conversations.
- case submission checklist
- photo and shade guide
- packing guidance
- prescription form
- deadline and delivery data
Approval before production
CAD design can become a clinical control point
For aesthetic cases, limited space or dentists requesting design only, the design can be reviewed before final production.

Indications, data and control for each category
Dentists should quickly understand the difference between categories, the data that reduces ambiguity and the controls performed before delivery.
| Category | When indicated | Data to send | Magic Smile control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Veneers | Anterior aesthetics, shape, shade and proportion corrections with conservative preparation. | Photos, shade, smile line, model or scan and aesthetic objective. | Shape, texture, symmetry, readable margins and harmony with adjacent teeth. |
| Zirconia crowns | Aesthetic and resistant crowns when space, abutment and occlusion support the indication. | STL or impression, abutment, bite, shade, antagonist and occlusal notes. | Marginal fit, thickness, anatomy, contacts and shade according to indication. |
| Zirconia bridges | Fixed bridges requiring aesthetics and strength, according to span and support. | Full model or scan, bite, span, shade and edentulous space information. | Passivity, emergence profile, contacts, connectors and adjustment risk. |
| Metal-ceramic work | Crowns and bridges with metal support when the case requires a robust controlled solution. | Preparations, space, shade, span, occlusion and aesthetic requirements. | Support, ceramic layering, margins, contact points and finishing. |
| Splints | Protection, stabilization, retention or functional planning. | Arches, bite, clinical objective, requested thickness and contact preferences. | Adaptation, thickness, extension, comfort and stability on the model. |
| CAD design | For dentists who only need design, without full laboratory production. | STL, indication, intended material, export parameters and laboratory requirements. | Anatomy, space, virtual contacts, margins and deliverable file according to request. |
Key facts
Clinic workflow
We receive case data: STL, impressions, models, photos, prescription or requested deadline.
We review indication, space, margins, occlusion, shade and possible technical risks.
We produce through a digital, conventional or mixed workflow; on request we provide CAD design only.
We check morphology, contacts, margins and packaging before delivery.
| Indication | Use | Useful data |
|---|---|---|
| Veneers | Anterior aesthetics | Photos, shade, minimal space |
| Zirconia | Aesthetic crowns and bridges | Clear margins, occlusion, shade |
| Metal-ceramic | Crowns and bridges with metal support | Space, abutment, shade, span |
| Splints | Occlusal protection or planning | Model, bite, clinical objective |
| CAD design | Design-only service for dentists | STL, indication, export parameters |

Documented Clinic Communication
Magic Smile Design SRL works as the dentist's technical partner: we review the case before production, clarify limits, select the appropriate solution and inspect the work for a more predictable delivery.
Documented quality
Quality control should leave a technical trace
We do not rely on generic perfection claims. Checks are structured so the dentist knows what was received, what was controlled and where a clinical or technical limit exists.
Case intake
Prescription, digital or analog data, photos and deadline are tied to the same work order.
Pre-production review
Margins, space, occlusion, shade, material and span are checked before fabrication.
Production notes
Technician observations preserve case context and reduce late interpretation.
Final control
Morphology, contacts, marginal fit, finishing and packaging are treated as control points.
Clinical feedback
When the dentist reports an issue, the case becomes input for improving the next protocol.
Risk policy
Remakes should be analyzed, not hidden
A serious policy starts from the cause: missing data, changed indication, production error, clinical modification or damage after delivery.
- keep the original work when possible
- photos and explanation of the issue
- review prescription and received data
- documented decision for adjustment or remake
Quick checklist
Case ready for the laboratory
Case planning
Request technical feedback before production
For aesthetic, implant, long-span or limited-space cases, send the main data and receive technical questions before work starts.
Send indication, material, available data and requested deadline.
The clearer the case is at intake, the better the laboratory can control cost, risk and delivery.
Clinical Q&A
FAQ
How does Magic Smile help reduce remakes?
Through technical review before production, margin clarification, space control, shade communication and contact verification.
Which workflows do you accept?
Digital, conventional or mixed, depending on the data received and the technical safety of the case.
Can I request CAD design only?
Yes. For dentists who need design only, we prepare CAD design according to the indication and requested parameters.
Do you work directly with patients?
No. Magic Smile Design SRL is a dental laboratory for dentists and dental clinics.
