RISE aims to elevate learning, bringing everyone into aligned, elevated educational experiences.
As a dentist, you’ve mastered the tools of your trade, but have you considered how the camera can be just as transformative for your practice? Photography is more than just a method of capturing images—it’s a powerful tool that can elevate your skills, enhance communication, and improve your practice in multiple ways. This one-day program is designed to empower you to harness the full potential of dental photography to improve patient care, grow your practice, and protect yourself legally.
Photography in dentistry offers numerous benefits:
- Self-Improvement: Analyzing your cases through images is one of the most effective ways to refine your skills and enhance the quality of your work.
- Optimized Lab Communication: Providing clear, detailed photographs ensures your ceramist receives all the necessary information to return exceptional cases.
- Patient Education: High-quality images help you educate patients, leading to higher case acceptance rates.
- Marketing & Branding: Stunning imagery of your work can elevate your practice’s reputation and attract new patients.
- Legal Documentation: Protect yourself and your practice by documenting cases thoroughly in a way that is clear and indisputable.
This dynamic, one-day course combines lectures with hands-on exercises, focusing on practical techniques and real-world applications. We’ll cover gear selection, camera settings, case/product photography, dental art photography, clinical intraoral photography, and portrait photography. By the end of the day, you’ll feel equipped to pick up your camera and start shooting with confidence as soon as you return to your practice.
Get ready to transform your practice and elevate your skillset with the power of photography!
