7 reasons why dental photography is essential part of work of Dentorium
Dental photography is a tool of communication between dentist and patient, also between dentist, other specialists and technicians, which enables documentation of crucial work phases:
- Analysis of current condition with every patient
- Follow up of the execution of the treatment plan
- Final work
Why is this approach “win win” for both the dentist and patient?
Dentist can now analyze the case in much higher quality and detail, and visually present the therapy and all work phases necessary, based on a previously designed, precise treatment plan.
Patient more easily understands what is being done, and how, so in a very transparent way receives a clear insight in the condition before, during and after the therapy.
All dental photography and video media on our website is made through the work of Dentorium.
For dental magazine Stomatologika we listed 7 reasons why dental photography is an integral part of our work:
1. VISUAL COMMUNICATION:
Visual communication enables clear and precise multidisciplinary communication with technicians, specialist and patient.
2. DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLAN:
Intraoral photography is an important part of the patient’s chart, which is being used to create the treatment plan, follow it and later to compare previous condition with the current one.
3. EXCELLENT QUALITY OF COMMUNICATION AND PATIENT EDUCATION:
Within the first meeting with patient, dental photography confirms and supports the credibility of words, so now the patient is included in the process of therapy, understands it more easily, thus is able to follow it and appreciate the value of work.
4. LEGAL DOCUMENTATION:
Any situation that would require a proof of what has been done, photo-documentation is a sure way of protection, help or source of useful information.
5. AUTHENTICITY:
Value of a dentist is not in the expensive equipment, but within results achieved with that equipment and knowledge. Presentation of one’s own work reflects the level of professional quality, transparency, ethics and authenticity.
6. SELFEDUCATION AND MASTERING:
Once taken the path of photo documentation of one’s own case, there is no way back! Commitment, precision, details and consistency make the quality go higher and higher.
7. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE WAY IS TO GIVE YOUR BEST:
Dental photography is direct reflection of everything we have included in our work. If someone would photo document your work, would you truly be satisfied with the result? This is a question we all have to ask ourselves, every day, and allow our practice to show the answer.
These are just some of the examples how we use dental photography in our practice
Intraoral view BEFORE & AFTER; guided therapy with Digital Smile Design, treatment plan included gingivoplasty, dental implants and full ceramic crowns.
Extra-oral photo Before & After of a complex functional aesthetic rehabilitation;
In our u patient gallery you can find out more about our each case presentation and work. And we are always open for questions and information.
