Dear Surgeon-Dentist Partners,

As dental technicians dedicated to excellence and concerned about the satisfaction of your Patients, we understand the crucial importance of precision in the manufacturing of your dental prostheses.

A key element to guaranteeing the satisfaction of your patients is the perfect match of the shade of the prosthesis with their natural teeth.

This is why we strongly recommend that you adopt the practice of taking photos to determine the shade of your patients' teeth.

Why Photography is Essential?

  1. Color Accuracy: High-quality photos capture subtle nuances of tooth color, allowing for a more precise match than is possible with the naked eye or standard shade samples.
  2. Reliable Reference: A photo serves as a constant reference throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring that the final shade of the prosthesis exactly matches that of the patient's natural teeth.
  3. Effective Communication: Photos allow clear and unambiguous communication between your practice and our laboratory. They eliminate the risk of errors or misunderstandings that can arise when describing shades.
  4. Saves Time: By providing an accurate visual reference from the start, photos reduce the need for touch-ups or readjustments, thereby speeding up the prosthesis delivery process.
  5. Patient Satisfaction: A perfect shade match increases patient satisfaction as they receive dentures that blend naturally with their smile, increasing their confidence in you and our services.

How to Take Photos Effectively?

  • Use a good quality digital camera.
  • Make sure you have good natural lighting or use bounce flash to avoid glare.
  • Take several shots from different angles to capture all the facets of the shade.

By adopting this simple but effective practice, you will play a crucial role in improving the quality of the prostheses we manufacture for your patients. Together we can ensure results that not only meet, but exceed expectations.

We thank you for your commitment to excellence and look forward to continuing to collaborate with you to deliver the best to your patients.
