At your first dental visit, we gather a bunch of information to know as much as we can about you, your dental health and your dental history. X-rays, charting of exisiting dental work, gum measurments and photographs all help us create your current dental record.Photographs are an important tool for education. What better way to explain what we see, by showing you exactly! These photos show us the shape of your teeth, how your lips drape, the color and texture of your gums. The photos will show us how your teeth and bite fit together, any chips or cracks within the tooth or filling. We then are able to compare things like, wear, cracks
and recession from visit to visit. We use photographs of you and your teeth to help explain your dental health and why certain treatment is recommended. Then by showing you what we see you can make the best decision for you and your teeth.
You know what they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words!"
