Dental Photography

Dental Photography is used to increase transparency during the examination, ensuring nothing is missed and enabling you to be fully informed about any dental issues you may have. Commonly I take photos “before”, “after” as well as several shots/views of the important steps of the treatment. Photography improves patient/clinician communication and enables detailed documentation of every procedure I do for you. Also as a restorative dentist I do not provide gum treatments. Gum examination and treatment are scheduled at a separate appointment, & are done by our dedicated hygienist.
