Discover what drives us
Designed by Dentists.
D2D Planning is the only digital implant planning service powered by clinicians who actively perform surgery and teach it at the highest academic level. Founded by Harvard-trained implant surgeons Dr. Simon Doliveux and Dr. Karim El Kholy, D2D merges real surgical experience with advanced digital workflows to deliver prosthetically driven precision for every case.
When your plans are created by dentists — not technicians — you gain the insight of professionals who understand anatomy, predict clinical challenges, and stay ahead of evolving techniques.
Mission Statement
Transforming Implant Dentistry Through Experience, Collaboration, and Innovation.
Our mission is to make advanced implant planning as precise and intelligent as the clinicians behind it.
D2D bridges the gap between digital design and surgical expertise — combining evidence-based protocols, hands-on clinical knowledge, and continuous academic innovation to deliver predictable, real-world results.
Every plan is informed by the latest research, techniques, and materials used by top educators in implantology.
Our Values
Clinical Expertise
Every D2D plan is developed and reviewed by implant surgeons who practice and teach the latest surgical and prosthetic techniques.

Why D2D
Why Dentists Choose D2D Planning
Every D2D plan is created and verified by licensed implant dentists, not
technicians or automated
systems.
Our founders, Dr. Simon Doliveux and Dr. Karim El Kholy, are Harvard-trained implant surgeons who actively teach, research, and perform guided surgeries.
That means every D2D plan reflects the latest surgical techniques, prosthetic protocols, and real clinical experience.
We don’t just deliver files — we deliver confidence, precision, and partnership at every stage of your workflow.
Step 1
Planning Request
Overview
Unlike technician-based planning labs, D2D Planning is entirely clinician-led. Each case is reviewed by practicing dentists who perform surgeries daily and understand the real clinical constraints of anatomy, bone density, and prosthetic planning. You’re not outsourcing a task — you’re collaborating with peers who think clinically and plan surgically.

Step 2
Dentist-Led Planning
Overview
Every plan begins with the end in mind: the final restoration. D2D’s approach ensures implant placement is prosthetically driven and esthetically optimized from the outset. We align CBCT data, digital impressions, wax-ups, and soft tissue contours to deliver restorative accuracy grounded in real surgical decision-making — not just digital alignment.

Step 3
Review & Validation
Overview
D2D streamlines communication through a simple online dashboard — upload, review, comment, and approve your cases without calls or back-and-forth emails. Our average turnaround time is 3–5 business days, and each plan includes two complimentary revision cycles. The result: faster delivery, predictable outcomes, and reduced chairside stress.

Who We Are
Our Story
From Harvard Classrooms to
Digital Surgery Suites
D2D Planning was founded by Dr. Simon Doliveux and Dr. Karim El Kholy, internationally recognized experts in implantology and guided surgery. While leading academic programs and clinical residencies, they noticed a gap between software-driven planning and true surgical logic. Technician-led services often missed critical clinical nuances — bone density, soft-tissue management, esthetic zones — that only a practicing surgeon could anticipate.
D2D was created to bridge that divide. By combining academic research, hands-on surgical experience, and digital innovation, we deliver a workflow that mirrors how elite clinicians plan their own cases.
Our founders remain active educators at Harvard and Columbia, ensuring that every D2D case benefits from the most current techniques and global best practices.
