Cosmetic Imaging Helps Dental Patient Make an Important Decision

We just had a patient, a young girl, that needs to have her entire upper jaw restored. Not important right now why, but take it for granted that the restoration of every upper tooth is necessary not only for aesthetic reasons but more so for proper function.

Her chief concern was “what will I look like”. She had specific requests and even brought pictures of herself to show exactly what she was looking to accomplish. Our promise to her was that we would do everything possible to achieve these lofty goals.

Our first step in this process is a cosmetic imaging of her existing teeth. This is accomplished by taking good digital photographs, completing a prescription and then sending this via the Internet to SmileVision. SmileVision has a team of artists that will transfer the image we send to them and create the smile our patient has always wanted. We can then show the before and after and make any changes necessary to satisfy our hopeful patient.

This technique can go a long way to provide the kind of communication necessary between doctor and patient that can insure the results necessary to satisfy our patient.

Guesswork just never works!
