Abstract

Today’s patients expect more than just function — they demand speed, precision, and natural esthetics. In this lecture, Dr. Barbara Sobczak introduces the *Sobczak Concept*, a fully digital, patient-centered treatment protocol developed to meet the growing demand for immediate, predictable, and life-changing implant solutions.

Combining advanced diagnostics (CBCT, intraoral scanning, facial scanning), digital smile design, guided surgery, and in-house CAD/CAM technology, the Sobczak Concept allows for full-arch restorations to be delivered within just a few hours — with a strong focus on soft tissue management and facial esthetics. Every stage of treatment is carefully planned with the end result in mind, allowing clinicians to restore not just teeth, but confidence and quality of life.

Through real clinical cases, Dr. Sobczak will demonstrate how a digital-first, patient-centric workflow transforms the implant experience — reducing chair time, increasing precision, and delivering consistent esthetic results. Attendees will gain insight into how digital tools can be used holistically, not only to streamline clinical procedures, but also to strengthen the emotional connection between doctor and patient.
