Digital Dentist Tour

The first step is to orient your new or recare patient to cosmetic dentistry.  Have the Lorin Library Smile Style Guide displayed throughout your office and reception room.  In addition, have before and after photo albums available whenever the patient is waiting.

Second, the doctor, assistant or hygienist should discusses the new, high tech equipment for computer imaging.  If there is a cosmetic interest, review the Smile Style Guide with the patient and have them select the smile design they like best. If they can't decide on thier own gently suggest what you feel might look best.

Take a diagnostic series of photos included a well composed portrait as a routine part of the new or recare patient examination.

Transfer the images to your computer, simulate the patient's new smile, and create a digital slide show of the diagnostic images.

Prepare for the consultation armed with your computer slide show, the Smile Style Guide, and the cosmetic simulation when indicated. Include any other diagnostic aid you feel necessary to communicate to the patient what they want.

Show the patient the diagnostic images to make them aware of the cosmetic and restorative concerns. Then show them the solution. Make alterations if necessary in front of the patient as you and the patient make final decisions about how the smile should look.

Print the results so that the patient has a visual record of your discussion. No pressure for you or the patient! If the patient does not say yes to treatment immediately, they will have the "New Smile Brochure" to study at home. More often then not, they will call for treatment.
