Dental Photo Guide
Help us understand your current smile and oral condition by sending clear photos. These, along with your X-rays (if available), allow our partner dentists to prepare accurate treatment plans and cost estimates. Follow this guide to take the right photos for your dental evaluation.
Why it matters
Clear dental photos help our dental partners:
- Assess your current condition.
- Suggest the best treatment options.
- Provide accurate price estimates, often within 24–48 hours.
What you’ll need
To take effective photos, prepare:
- A smartphone or digital camera.
- Good lighting (preferably natural daylight or a well-lit room).
- Clean hands and a mirror.
- A friend to help or a selfie mode with a timer.
