Shoot
to capture translucency, depth and the tooths
natural surface texture.
Taking
accurate digital pictures can mean the difference
between a great case and an average case.
1. Use
difused soft light that illuminates teeth
well to capture thetranslusency, depth and
texture. (Do not use a flash)
2. Photograph
the patients natural teeth with shade tabs
for an accurate comparison to the natural
teeth.
5. Use
a zoom lense, not a wide angle lense. A wide
angle lense can distort the shape to the natural
teeth similar to the mirrors at a carnival
that make you look taller, shorter or fatter
than you actually are.
6. Hold
the camera away from the patients teeth and
zoom in on the teeth vs. placing the lense
almost on the teeth.
7. Remove
any unnecesary or distracting equipment /
tools from the area being photograp to allow
for a clear unobstuced view of the patients
natural teeth.
