Special guest
Daniela Torres, better known as DannyDesigner, is a Chilean digital dental designer recognized for her esthetic approach to Exocad, digital dentures, and complex restorative workflows. With more than 10 years of experience in digital dentistry, her journey began in Chile, where she studied Dental Prosthetics and built her career working in dental laboratories while developing her skills in CAD/CAM technologies.
Over time, Daniela started sharing her work online, creating an educational and inspiring presence that connected with thousands of followers on Instagram. What began as posting cases evolved into international collaborations, teaching opportunities, lectures, and working with professionals worldwide.
In 2024, her career took an important turn when she moved to the United States to continue growing professionally within advanced digital dentistry environments. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Technology in the United States and has worked closely with international teams, combining clinical criteria, esthetics, and digital workflows.
Today, Daniela is the founder of Focus Dental Design and specializes in dentures, smile design, implants, and All-on-X rehabilitations. Beyond design, she is passionate about education and believes digital dentistry should be both beautiful and functional.
Her story reflects persistence, self-learning, and how someone from a small laboratory in Chile built a career that crossed borders into the international digital dentistry community.
