Advanced technology matters only when guided by clinical judgment.At Smile Boutique in Austin, Harvard-trained prosthodontist Dr. Afsaneh Rad directs each phase from initial design through final fabrication. Keeping clinical and laboratory decisions connected ensures every detail serves your treatment plan.
Every contour, contact, material, and functional decision can influence how a restoration looks, feels, and performs.
With the laboratory inside the practice, Dr. Rad can review the design, examine the restoration alongside the patient, and make refinements while the complete clinical picture is still present. This continuity keeps the clinical and laboratory decisions connected throughout treatment.
A natural-looking restoration must also support a comfortable, stable bite. We design tooth position, facial harmony, speech, and function as one complete system.

No single material is right for every restoration. Dr. Rad selects materials based on function, available space, esthetic goals, implant design, and the demands of your specific treatment.
Our laboratory connects scanning, photogrammetry, design, printing, milling, and ceramic refinement in one coordinated process. Technology does not replace clinical judgment. It allows Dr. Rad to carry that judgment through every stage.
TRIOS captures a detailed digital impression of your teeth and surrounding structures. That information becomes the starting point for treatment planning, restoration design, and fabrication within our connected clinical and laboratory workflow.
Cam4D records the three-dimensional positions of multiple dental implants for full-arch restorations. Accurate transfer of these implant relationships is essential to designing a restoration that seats precisely and achieves a passive fit.
The S900 converts physical models and laboratory records into precise digital information. This allows Dr. Rad to integrate existing records into the design process and maintain continuity between the clinical plan and restoration fabrication.
SprintRay produces precise models, guides, appliances, prototypes, and provisional restorations. In-house printing allows us to move efficiently from digital design to a physical restoration that can be evaluated and refined during treatment.
Our Zirkonzahn milling system fabricates restorations and full-arch prostheses from a wide range of dental materials within the practice. This gives Dr. Rad direct visibility into production, fit verification, and refinement.
After zirconia is milled, the Zirkonofen Turbo completes the controlled sintering process that gives the restoration its final density, strength, and dimensions. Its preset programs allow different Zirkonzahn zirconia materials to be processed efficiently within our laboratory.
Digital design is only the beginning of a natural result. In our ceramic room, restorations are refined with close attention to shade, texture, and natural detail.
Dr. Rad directs these decisions and collaborates with master ceramists when a case calls for additional artistry.
