An Introduction To Smile Design & Treatment Planning Using Dental Photography
Proportional Smile Design:
Smiles should match the size and shape of the face as well as the temperament of the patient. Learn how to use photos to analyze smiles, measure the smile and then create provisional restorations for the patient to evaluate prior to fabricating the final restorations. This course will improve your ability to predictably create beautiful smiles.

Treatment Planning Using Dental Photography:
Showing patients up close what we as dentists, is imperative for patient acceptance of necessary treatment. Digital photography has sometimes been complicated but newly designed dental cameras simplify the ability to take excellent photos of the mouth. Having a library of before and after photos of different treatments can be invaluable in showing patients their options. Showing patients what their smiles can look like can be an effective way to have them proceed.
