At Higgins Dental, we hold the belief that providing patients with a visual understanding of their dental concerns is essential for fostering confidence in their care and facilitating informed decision-making regarding treatment options. To achieve this goal, we employ a comprehensive approach that includes the use of intra-oral cameras and DSLR photography to capture detailed photographic records of your teeth.
​
The integration of photography into our practice serves several critical purposes:
​

1. Enhanced Communication: By visualising dental issues and treatment options through high-resolution images, we can effectively communicate with patients, ensuring they have a clear understanding of their oral health status and the proposed treatment pathways.

2. Long-Term Monitoring: Photography enables us to monitor the condition of your teeth over time, allowing us to detect subtle changes such as wear, cracks, decay, or movements. This proactive approach facilitates early intervention and ensures optimal dental health outcomes.

3. Treatment Planning and Digital Smile Design: When combined with digital impressions, photography plays a pivotal role in complex treatment planning and Digital Smile Design. By capturing detailed images of your teeth, we can precisely assess your dental anatomy and aesthetics, facilitating the development of personalized treatment plans and digital simulations to achieve your desired smile transformation.

Through the strategic use of intra-oral cameras and DSLR photography, we empower our patients to actively participate in their dental journey, fostering trust, confidence, and satisfaction in their treatment experience.
