dental photography

Dental photography is the process of capturing high-quality images of a patient's teeth, gums, and mouth using specialized cameras. These photographs help dentists document a patient's oral health, plan treatments, and track progress over time. They are useful for explaining dental issues to patients, creating treatment guides, and for legal or insurance purposes. Modern dental photography often involves digital cameras with macro lenses and proper lighting to ensure detailed, accurate images. This visual record enhances communication between the dentist and patient, improves diagnostic precision, and supports better overall dental care.
