Unique approach

The Smile Protocol

The Smile Protocol™ (TSP) is a digital-first esthetic workflow for composite and ceramic veneers, powered by Smilecloud 2D and 3DNA.

It helps you design functional, natural-looking smiles with minimal chair time and maximum predictability.

But it’s more than a technique: it’s a biometric protocol that blends advanced 3D planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a premium patient experience into one seamless process.

When using The Smile Protocol, you will:

Reduce patient chair time significantly

Shorten appointments with pre-visualized mockups and guided planning.

Align your team with visual precision

Communicate plans clearly across your entire workflow, from planning to lab coordination.

Upsell ethically with transparency

Show patients what’s possible, and why, using 3D previews, not hype.

Get patients excited before they commit

Spark early buy-in by showing the transformation before it starts.

About Dario

Prosthodontist, lecturer and clinician in Zagreb

Hi, I’m Dr. Dario Novak, prosthodontist, lecturer, and clinician based in Zagreb, Croatia.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked on more than 700 Smilecloud esthetic cases and delivered lectures across 10+ countries, helping other dentists bring digital precision into their daily practice.

“What if we could design, present, and plan beautiful cases with less back-and-forth, and more clarity from day one?”

That idea has since become the backbone of how my team collaborates, how we communicate with patients, and how I now train other clinicians to do the same.

Real Cases. Real Clarity.

See how The Smile Protocol™ transforms clinical complexity into visual clarity, from the first photo to the final result. Each case below walks you through the real steps taken in planning, presenting, and delivering advanced esthetic outcomes.
