Camera, Lights, Action! Patient Photography Made Easy

Boston, MA •Saturday, October 1, 2016 • 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

The importance of quality facial and intra-oral photography for patient documentation in both general and specialty dental practices cannot be underestimated. A picture says more than a thousand words when communicating with the dental lab, the insurance company and the specialist. Explaining treatment options to your patient with photographs will increase their acceptance of the treatment plan.  

In this course, participants will be shown how they can integrate patient photography into their practice with either a Point-and-Shoot camera that can be programmed for dental views or a Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera system. Participants will learn the specific guidelines for standardized patient photography and how to obtain clinically correct images on a consistent basis.  

At the end of this course, participants will be prepared to return to their offices and put together a high quality patient “make-over” series using before and after pictures. These marketing materials can be generated at very little cost, and can get your patients to ask for dental procedures that they did not know were available!
