How to Take the Best Smile Photos
As part of the custom veneer creation process, we require photos of your smile. Our design team uses these images to craft veneers that achieve the most natural, flattering results tailored specifically to your facial features. High-quality photos are essential to ensuring an accurate fit and optimal aesthetic outcome.
Please upload one close-up photo showing your teeth and gumline, and one full face photo with a natural smile clearly displaying your teeth. To ensure the best results, make sure your photos are well-lit, high-quality, and free of any blur or distortion.
Lighting: Position yourself facing a natural light source when possible, and avoid harsh or uneven shadows.
Image Quality: If using a mobile phone, use the rear camera, as it typically offers higher resolution than the front camera. If needed, ask someone else to take the photo to ensure proper framing and focus.
Clarity: Ensure the image is sharp and free of distortion by holding the camera steady, tapping to focus, and avoiding digital zoom. Do not use filters or edit the photo.
Double-check your photos before you upload—if it’s bright, sharp, and natural-looking, you’re good!

Step-By-Step Cheek Retractor Instructions
- Remove the cheek retractor from packaging or if you’ve used it before, clean the cheek retractor if necessary, with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly.
- With the curved tabs facing your mouth, open your mouth and insert one side into the corner of your mouth.
- Gently flex the retractor and insert the other side into the opposite corner. The straight tabs should be on the outside of your mouth.
- Adjust as needed so that it pulls back your lips and cheeks for full visibility of your teeth.
- Take the required photos. Wash, dry, and store after use.
