Smile-imaging is a new concept in dentistry that offers an impressive level of predictable and successful esthetic results. It is useful in the diagnosis, communication, and treatment phases of esthetic cases regardless of the treatment plan. Smile-imaging builds esthetics into the case instead of adding them on at the end. It is available to any dentist without having to spend time learning a computer program or investing in equipment. Full-face pictures of the patient are all that are required from the dentist.
