Curated Beauty. Redefined.
Esthetic Dentistry Should Be Predictable—Not Variable
Delivering high-esthetic anterior restorations has traditionally depended on individual technicians, subjective decision-making, and inconsistent workflows.
As a result, outcomes can vary—from case to case, doctor to doctor, and location to location.
For practices and organizations alike, this creates a fundamental challenge: Achieving esthetic excellence consistently—without introducing variability, inefficiency, or unnecessary complexity.
Curate™ was developed to solve this—bringing structure, discipline, and experienced oversight to anterior esthetics.
This becomes especially critical as practices grow, teams expand, and expectations remain high.
A Curated, Intentional Approach to Esthetics
Curate™ applies a disciplined framework to anterior restorations—combining:
- intentional material selection
- selective porcelain layering
- case-specific planning
Rather than defaulting to the most complex or most simplified solution, each case is approached with purpose.
Esthetics are applied with purpose – aligned to the goals of each case.
Predictability Starts With Planning
Esthetic dentistry requires both technical precision and human judgment.
Curate™ integrates digital workflows for consistency while embedding esthetic decision-making into defined planning checkpoints.
This ensures restorations reflect natural tooth characteristics—while remaining predictable and repeatable across cases.
Predictable Esthetics—By Design
Curate™ is built to deliver consistent esthetic outcomes across clinicians, locations, and case types.
Through standardized protocols and calibrated workflows, esthetic success becomes:
- intentional
- repeatable
- scalable
Material Selection, Applied with Purpose
Curate™does not rely on a single material or technique.
Instead, material strategies are selected based on:
- esthetic demand
- functional requirements
- clinical context
This allows for controlled translucency, natural light diffusion, and lifelike integration.
Designed with You. Controlled by You.
Every Curate™ case is developed and presented through DesignVault™, DDS Lab’s digital design review and collaboration platform.
Before fabrication begins, clinicians have full visibility into the proposed design—ensuring alignment on esthetic intent, contours, and function.
Every case is reviewed. The level of collaboration is up to you.
Whether you prefer a quick approval or a more detailed design discussion, DesignVault™ adapts to your workflow—providing confidence without unnecessary friction.
Guided by Experience. Structured for Consistency.
Curate™is guided by senior esthetic leadership and experienced technical specialists.
This oversight ensures every case remains:
- precise
- predictable
- scalable
without reliance on individual craftsmanship alone.
A Complete Esthetic Workflow
Curate™supports anterior cases from diagnostic planning through final restoration, including:
- diagnostic wax-ups
- veneers, crowns, bridges
- layered e.max® and zirconia systems
- optional design collaboration
All cases are produced using dedicated resources and calibrated workflows within DDS Lab’s fully integrated production model.
Designed for Predictability—From Planning to Delivery
In-Lab Turnaround Time
Curate™ cases follow structured workflows designed to support predictable timelines while maintaining esthetic quality.
In-Lab TAT for Curate™is 14 business days.
DesignVault™ collaboration may extend turnaround slightly based on review timing.
