What photos could you send? 📸
1. Full-Face Smile Photos: These photos provide an overall view of the patient's smile, facial features, and lip line. They help us understand your patient's aesthetic goals and facial proportions.
2. Intraoral Close-Ups: Close-up shots of your patient's teeth and gums are essential for assessing the current condition. Include photos of the entire arch, focusing on details such as tooth colour, shape, size, alignment, and any existing restorations or issues.
3. Shade and Colour Matching: Capture images of the teeth under different lighting conditions to accurately represent the natural shade and colour variations. Use a shade guide or digital shade-matching system to ensure precise colour matching for restorations.
4. Pre-Operative Photos: Document your patient's teeth before any dental procedures or treatments. These photos serve as a baseline for comparison and help track progress throughout the treatment process.
5. Close-Ups of Specific Areas: If your patient has specific concerns or areas of interest, such as a cracked tooth, worn enamel, or gingival recession, take close-up photos to provide detailed information.
6. Retracted Views: Use cheek retractors to capture clear views of the teeth and gingiva from different angles. These photos are essential for evaluating the entire area and planning restorative or cosmetic procedures effectively.
7. Occlusion Photos: For cases involving occlusion or bite issues, take photos with your patient's upper and lower teeth in occlusion to help us understand the bite relationship and make necessary adjustments.
8. Post-Operative Photos: After completing dental procedures or placing restorations, take photos to document the final outcome, we love to see the final result!
9. High-Resolution images ensure that all photos provide clear and detailed information to the dental laboratory. Use proper lighting, focus, and camera settings to avoid distortion or blurriness.
