Dental photography is an excellent way of not only documenting work but also helps in teaching and promoting dental practice. In addition, photographing your work also enables you to show off your abilities as a dentist by using it as an informative visual method for patient counselling. 

We all use cameras, especially phone cameras, every now and then to click a picture or two. So, why not click before and after pictures for your dental work? This way, even your patients can appreciate the work done and see the difference in their smiles. Dental photography is simple, non-invasive and also helps in legal documentation. 

Now that we have seen the importance of dental photography, you must learn to take high-quality and detailed photographs, and this blog will cover everything you need for it.

Not comfortable using a professional camera? Don't worry; you don't need to have a DSLR to click great before and after pictures. With our super macro lenses, you can turn your phone camera into a professional photography machine.
