Digital Imaging

So Much to Look Forward To!

When you decide to correct or enhance your smile, it's often difficult to determine ahead of time exactly what kind of results to expect. After all, a smile is a pretty personal thing. And changing a smile is a pretty sensitive business. That's where cosmetic digital imaging comes into play. This computer-based digital technology allows ust to create true-to-life photographs of your very own mouth, as if the recommended procedures had already been completed. So whether you're considering teeth whitening, straightening, bonding, veneers or full smile re-contouring, digital imaging technology lets you envision the possibilities of how your new smile can look and function.

The process is quite simple. Once we have completed your oral exam and discussed your 'smile' goals, a treatment plan will be created. Then, various digital photos of your current smile will be taken and change factors will be keyed into the computer. Upon return of your 'new smile' to us, the computer generates one or more graphic images accurately demonstrating how those specific changes will affect the appearance of your mouth as well as your entire expression. It's a fun process and produces excited smiles all around. You then can take home a copy of the photos to discuss with family or friends prior to making any decisions.
