Improve the\npatient experience through the use of pictures. Why do we have pictures?\nBecause, according to the adage \u201cpictures are worth a thousand words\u201d. In fact,\nit comes in so handy because a dental professional can give their patients a\nvisual about what the treatment options will result in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is a patient more apt to accept aesthetic treatment when they can visualize themselves with an end result before they commit to it? The answer is yes. \u2018Outside of the credentials of the doctor and staff and the comfort you felt with them, what was the most significant factor in deciding to have your smile makeover done?\u2019 The response was resounding \u2013 being able to see themselves with a new smile before it was ever done. In addition, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smilesbygeorge.com\/cosmetic-imaging.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"digital imaging (opens in a new tab)\">digital imaging<\/a> can be used as a communication tool to the surgeon, with the use of a visual aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evaluating a patient\u2019s smile to determine discrepancies in length to width ratios, buccal corridor deficiencies, gingival height and balance all affect the realism of a computer-generated image but also the end clinical result.
