Smile Revolution: AI-Powered Design & 3D Printing for the Modern Dental Practice

Course Description:

Convenience is the commodity that matters most to patients. When considering treatment, patients often cite having fewer appointments and not having to see other specialists as important motivators. 3D printing combined with AI-powered smile design transforms your practice by providing immediate restorations and better planning for comprehensive cases.

AI-enhanced smile design software allows you to visualize and plan perfect smiles with unprecedented precision, while 3D printing brings these designs to life. Occlusal guards, surgical guides, models, retainers, prototypes, provisionals, clear aligners, dentures, and permanent restorations can all be designed digitally and printed quickly.

Move treatment forward faster, get more diagnosis and production from your hygiene chairs, lower your lab bills, treat smile design cases more confidently with AI-guided planning, and offer your patients the convenience they desire. Adding 3D printing and AI smile design to your workflow is easy for you and your team, creating a truly modern digital practice.

About The Speaker

Jonathan Rat

Jonathan Rat is the founder and CEO of Archy, a modern dental software company built to empower practice owners and their teams. A software engineer by training with a master’s in computer science, Jon spent over a decade building platforms at some of the world’s most influential tech companies, including Facebook, SurveyMonkey, and Uber. If you’ve ever paid for a ride, or tipped your driver, you’ve used the global payments infrastructure Jonathan helped design.

Originally from France, Jon moved to the US in 2009 and now proudly calls California
home. His journey into dental began not in a boardroom, but at home, his wife is a dentist and practice owner. Seeing the day-to-day pain points she faced running a business with outdated, fragmented tools inspired him to build something better. Archy was born from that insight: that dentists deserve software as smart and reliable as the care they provide. Jonathan is especially passionate about creating more equity in the industry, drawing from experiences where, even in 2025, female dentists like his wife are still underestimated at conferences and in business interactions. Through Archy, he’s working to bring simplicity, dignity, and innovation to an industry overdue for change.
