Mastering Digital Dental Consultations

The Challenge

Are you convinced that digital photography is an indispensable tool that you must implement in your practice—but are confused about how to “make it work” for you? Are you unsure about how to effectively present your photographic images to patients, colleagues, and technicians? Are you confused by the vast array of software advertised for digital photography? Are you overwhelmed by the daunting learning curve you feel you must overcome to harness digital technology in your office?

Photography is a required skill for contemporary dentists on every level, BUT . . .

How do you select the right camera? Is digital really better than film? What computer equipment do you need? What software should you buy? And, how do you put it all together to use it?

The Audience

For the restorative dentist, orthodontist, periodontist, or lab technician integrating esthetics in dental treatment, this course is a "must". Take a short cut in effectively delegating of photography and digital skills by bringing your support personnel as well.

Photographers of every level of experience will find this course invaluable. No previous experience is necessary, and beginning photographers will learn the essential foundations of macro digital photography. Experienced photographers will also benefit by working at an accelerated pace with invaluable information that improves the predictability of their techniques as well.

Bring your entire esthetic team.

The Course

To succeed with dental photography, you must learn the skills to take predictable, diagnostic images. Here’s what you’ll learn:

Basic principles of dental photography for easy, accurate, and consistent results
Advanced photographic techniques for precise documentation and improved case acceptance
5 secrets that demystify “complicated” cameras and that make dental photography with them incredibly simple
4 key features you must look for when purchasing a camera and 2 heavily-marketed features that you may not really need
How to choose the right camera equipment and use it effectively

In the photography laboratory, you will be able to try out cameras and compare important features. You will have the opportunity to take a series of diagnostic dental photographs and perfect your ability. You will receive one-on-one guidance while you master your photography skills.

Materials List

To maximize the learning experience, each course participant is encouraged to bring the following items to the workshop:

Camera:

Bring whatever you are currently using for dental photography in your office. This would include your camera body, intraoral (macro lens) and flash. Some cameras have all these components incorporated as an integrated unit.

If you are considering purchasing a camera and learning how to use it during the course, we suggest:

Nikon D100 body
Nikkor 105 ED Micro f2.8 lens
Nikon SB29s strobe

Memory Cards:

Bring the memory media card that is accepted by the camera you currently utilize.

If you are not yet, using a digital camera or if you are considering upgrading your equipment, demonstration camera systems will be available to investigate and explore.

Why should you choose THIS course?

There may be several courses available for digital photography in the dental office, but THIS is the one you are looking for.

In an attempt to make digital dental photography less intimidating, most courses promote the use of automated camera features to “simplify” photographic techniques. This course will teach you how the use of automated camera settings in dental photography is doomed for inaccuracy and failure. Learn how a few simple manual steps will make your photography experience perfect every time.

Some courses promote the use of histogram manipulation to create “perfect” exposures. You will learn how changing photographic histograms is always inaccurate and unpredictable.

This course also includes foundational material for color accuracy—a topic ignored by almost every other course on the subject.

Simplification, predictability, accuracy, one-on-one attention for every level of experience. . .

Choose THIS course and meet your goals.
