Cosmetic Dental Imaging
I
maging helps patients to visualize a treatment plan, by showing them an enhanced photo of their own smile. The digitally enhanced photo can help patients decide on a cosmetic treatment plan that is right for them.

Dental Imaging - Image Enhancement of a Patient Photo
Cosmetic Dental Imaging is digital manipulation of a patient's smile photo. 
Imaging shows patients what their own smile could look like after a specific dental treatment plan is completed.
The before image, a photo of the patient's actual smile, is digitally enhanced to display a treatment plan before treatment has actually begun.

Dental Imaging is Dentist/Patient Guided 
A new smile shape is chosen from the
Smile Style Guide. A qualified dental artist then begins the imaging, using the smile style as a guide. Imaging is directed by the dentist through a series of "approval images".

Dental Imaging Guides the Dental Laboratory
The dental technologist/ceramist uses imaging as a guide during the fabrication process. The result is that patients get the smile that they want and expect. Imaging is an important part of Treatment Planning.

The cases below illustrate actual imaging cases. View more imaging cases with the interactive display at the bottom of the page.
