Capturing Your Smile with Precision
In cosmetic dentistry, photography is not just about taking a 'before' and 'after' picture—it is a vital diagnostic and communication tool. High-resolution photos taken from various angles allow us to analyse the relationship between your teeth, your lips, and your face as a whole. This level of detail is essential for planning a smile design that looks natural and fits your unique anatomy perfectly.
At Dr. Amit Sharma Super Speciality Dental Hospital, we use professional-grade dental photography to record the shape, size, and texture of your natural teeth. This data is then shared with our skilled dental technicians, who use these visual references to hand-craft your veneers or crowns, ensuring that every detail is captured with exceptional precision for a truly seamless, beautiful result.
The Art and Science of Shade Selection
Choosing the perfect shade for your new restorations is both an art and a science. It is about more than just picking a colour from a guide; it involves considering the translucency, brightness, and natural variation found in your existing teeth. A great shade match ensures that your new restorations blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth, making them look like a natural part of your smile.
Our clinicians are trained to account for different lighting conditions when selecting your shade, as the colour can look different in natural sunlight compared to the bright lights in a clinic. We take the time to compare several options and involve you in the process, ensuring the final colour aligns with your personal preferences and results in a natural, vibrant appearance that you are happy with.
Collaborating with Our Laboratory
The combination of our clinical photography and your shade selection forms the master blueprint for our master technicians. By providing these comprehensive visual records, we bridge the gap between our clinic and the dental laboratory. This ensures that the expert who creates your custom veneers or crowns can see exactly what your original teeth looked like and can replicate those unique characteristics in your new restorations.
We work with highly experienced, artisan dental laboratories that share our commitment to excellence. By combining our precise clinical data with their technical skill and artistic vision, we create restorations that are not only high-quality but also personalised, balanced, and perfectly suited to you. This collaborative process is the key to our predictable, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes for every patient we serve.
Achieving a Natural, Harmonious Result
The ultimate goal of using photography and careful shade matching is to create a smile that looks entirely natural.

Questions patients ask us
- Why do you take so many photos?
- Photography is a vital diagnostic and communication tool for us. It allows us to analyse your smile from every angle and provides essential data to our laboratory team. By seeing the fine details, they can create custom restorations that fit your unique facial features and look completely natural.
- Is shade selection just about making teeth white?
- No, it is a much more complex process. It involves matching the colour, brightness, and natural translucency of your existing teeth. We consider how light hits your teeth, ensuring the final result blends perfectly for a natural-looking smile, rather than just picking a single 'white' shade.
- Will my new teeth match my other teeth?
- Yes, that is the goal of our precise shade matching process. We carefully evaluate your natural teeth in different lighting conditions to select a shade that allows the new restorations to blend in seamlessly. Your new, beautiful smile will look and feel just like a natural part of your dental anatomy.
- Can I have input on the final shade?
- Absolutely! We view this as a collaborative process. We will involve you in the shade selection session to discuss your preferences and show you how different options look in your own mouth. Our goal is to ensure the final result is exactly what you envision, giving you a beautiful and confident smile.
