How to take smile photos for a virtual consultation

 

 

 

 

  


Your dentist has asked you to send them some photos that clearly show your teeth and smile. Taking photos of your teeth is really easy, but we have found that when taking close-up selfies the photos are often out of focus. The best is to ask a friend or family member to help you so your photos will be clarity clear and in focus.
These photos are very important as your dentist wants to use them to help in virtual consultations, diagnosing a particular problem, evaluating your smile, or even when designing a provisional Digital Smile Design (DSD) for you. 

Please see the video below by SmileMate to show you how to take these 5X photos. Also, take a frontal photo of your smile(see below) without any hands or fingers in the photo. After taking the proper X6 photos, please attach these to your emails.

Frontal photo of your smile:

  • This is the most important photo if we need to do a DSD(Digital Smile Design) for you.
    You must be smiling ear to ear with lips apart and face in the 'center of the camera'.
