From Weeks to Hours: Dr. Clark's Blueprint
for Profitable Same-Day Digital Workflows
“I love using LuxCloud and sending cases to Evident because the workflow is super simple and easy for my team and we just send the scans the indication we want and get a great design back quickly.”
Dr. Bianca Clark
General Dentist / Chicago, Illinois
Introduction
Dr. Bianca Clark, D.D.S., is the lead practitioner at West Loop Smile Studio and Hyde Park Smile Studio in Chicago, Illinois. Specializing in biomimetic restorative dentistry, Dr. Clark has become a trusted leader in minimally invasive, patient-focused dental care. Her approach blends aesthetics, function, and conservation—especially for patients with worn or previously restored dentition.
Across both practices, Dr. Clark is committed to finding clinical solutions that align with her core values: preserve natural tooth structure, improve patient outcomes, and streamline efficiency without compromising care.
Part 1: The Challenge
Delays in Cases and Workflow Bottlenecks
Like many clinicians offering restorative and cosmetic treatments, Dr. Clark faced frustrating delays when relying on conventional treatment modalities. Traditional workflows involve outsourcing to third-party labs with long lead times and inconsistent turnaround times: lab miscommunication can sometimes also lead to unsuccessful treatment outcomes.
According to Dr. Clark, lab turnaround time was at times unreliable and usually ranged between four to six weeks. In instances where there were any discrepancies between patient expectations and final ceramics, additional time would exist between preparation and delivery. These prolonged timeline not only caused operational inefficiencies but also increased stress levels among patients—particularly those balancing demanding family and work schedules. The clinical team also experienced workflow disruptions and additional administrative burdens due to repeated coordination with labs and patient rescheduling.
Before exploring the benefits of utilizing LuxCreo and Evident, a smile rejuvenation treatment would typically require five visits, often taking a total of three weeks to complete. The workflow consisted of:
Appointment 1:
Aesthetic records/Mockup- Also known as the “Smile Trial” this chairside mockup appointment gives patients a preview of what their veneers will look like.
Appointment 2:
Prep- The doctor refines the teeth, preparing them for veneers. Patients leave this appointment in prototypes.
Appointment 3:
Review- The patient and dentist review the function and look of your prototypes before sending them to a ceramist/lab to create.
Appointment 4:
Gum health evaluation and ‘check-in’ - The patient gets their teeth cleaned, maintaining the health of the tissue underneath the veneers. This appointment would also be an additional opportunity to collaborate with the patient on their aesthetic opinion of the form and function of the prototypes
Appointment 5:
Delivery- The patient finally has their ceramic veneers bonded to their teeth.
Additionally, on high-volume patient care days, in-house design was not always a practical option.
Part 2: A Seamless, Same-Day Solution
LuxCreo + Evident through LuxCloud
To modernize and streamline her workflow, Dr. Clark partnered with LuxCreo and Evident. Using LuxCreo’s LuxCloud platform to submit her lab cases, she receives expert CAD designs directly from Evident, one of the most respected dental design service providers in the industry.
Combining the power of LuxCreo’s validated one-click chairside workflow with Evident’s high-precision, fast-turnaround design services, Dr. Clark can now deliver same-day transitional or definitive prosthetics for her patients.
Here’s how the integrated workflow unfolds: Evident Smile Package/LuxCloud Veneer Treatment
Be more organized AND increase your case acceptance. The smile package gives you all your designs in one convenient bundle. Instead of ordering your design files one by one, work with us to create your digital treatment plan by choosing the files that fit your workflow.
1. Scan
The process begins with a digital scan of the patient’s upper and lower arches, and photos to help guide the design team on the patients’ expectations and goals. The data is securely uploaded to LuxCloud, where Dr. Clark can place an order for resin veneers/smile design and select Evident as her design partner.
2. Design (Powered by Evident)
Evident’s team of expert designers rapidly returns digital designs that are precise, natural-looking, and customized to the patient’s unique smile goals. Their reputation for high-quality dental CAD design means that Dr. Clark can be confident that the returned files merge facial balancing with precise occlusion.
Through LuxCloud, the process is fast, intuitive, and easy to track—no complicated interfaces, no back-and-forth emails, and no guessing.
3. Print (Powered by LuxCreo and Glidewell’s fastprint.io)
Once the design is approved, Dr. Clark’s clinical assistant nests the stl using LuxFlow one-click and then prints the veneers or mockup in-office, using the Glidewell fastprint.io printer, a trusted high-speed printer that integrates smoothly into her restorative setup.
Because LuxCreo validates both proprietary and third-party resins, Dr. Clark has the freedom to choose the ideal resin for her aesthetic and strength preferences.
4. Finish
The printed veneers are prepared and cured using LuxCreo’s validated protocols. The prosthesis are easy to stain/color and finish in-house, using Rodin N2 free glaze/stains, allowing the team to maintain full control over the entire case.
5. Fit
With minimal to no prep, the resin veneers are bonded to the teeth in a single visit—transforming the patient’s smile and preserving natural structure. Whether it's a long-term aesthetic solution or a transitional step before porcelain veneers, these restorations check every box.
Part 3: Results That Matter
Predictable and Profitable
This case involved a patient who wanted a fast, cosmetic improvement ahead of a professional milestone. Using LuxCreo and Evident’s combined workflow, Dr. Clark was able to scan, order, print, and deliver a set of resin veneers in a single visit—with zero compromise on aesthetics or precision.
Besides time, labor, and control, direct printing veneers is a better financial model for both practices and patients. Patients pay almost six times more when paying for traditional veneers which cost Dr. Clark $300-$500 to make. Now, resin veneers only cost $8 per tooth, and patients get a much more affordable alternative with no compromise to quality.
By integrating Evident’s CAD design services directly through LuxCreo’s LuxCloud platform, Dr. Bianca Clark has found a powerful solution to restore smiles faster, smarter, and more conservatively. (circle back to this and confirm that luxcloud/evident have smile design as an option)
The workflow is as simple as Scan → Design → Print → Finish → Fit, with every step focused on speed, quality, and patient satisfaction. With same-day delivery and unmatched aesthetic control, Dr. Clark now empowers patients to achieve their smile goals without delay—and without compromising on minimally invasive care.
