From photo to preview in three steps
Everything happens in the browser, during the consultation.
1. Take one photo
A smile photo from any phone, while the patient is in the chair. JPEG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC all work.
2. Choose the treatment
Whitening, veneers, alignment, bonding or reshaping, in the style and tooth shade you would propose. Compare several styles side by side.
3. Share the preview
Send the patient a private link to open on their own phone. It works for 90 days.
What photo works best
- A smile where the teeth are easy to see.
- Any phone camera. No scanner, no special equipment.
- Previewing only the upper teeth? Keep the upper teeth clearly in view.
- Previewing only the lower teeth? Show them clearly, with the upper and lower teeth apart.
A photo for the conversation, a scan for the restoration
For the consultation
Photo preview
One phone photo becomes a realistic preview in about a minute: something the patient can react to in the chair and look at again at home. It shows a possible direction, not a treatment plan.
For the restoration
Scan-based design
Once the patient agrees, an intraoral scan and a lab design turn that direction into veneers, crowns or aligners that fit.
When the patient says yes, Send to lab passes the original photo and the previews you chose to Elegant Dental Lab through a private link.
