What camera do you use to take your photos. My iPhone is not getting the detail I want and I dont want to spend $500+ on a DSLR like the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry 'recommends'
ReplyDeleteSee how little detail I am able to get: http://dentaldaddiary.blogspot.com/2011/04/first-full-crown-completed-w-pictures.html
Any advice would be appreciated!
Periodontal disease, injury and tooth decay can all cause a loss of your natural teeth. However, we can bring back the smile on your face with dentures to restore your missing teeth. With improved technology and updated materials, dentists can now make them appear more natural and more comfortable for the patient.
ReplyDeleteThere are two types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures cover the patient’s entire jaw while partial dentures, with their metal framework, replace multiple missing teeth. Ask our doctors to see which type would be right for you.
It may take some time to adjust to your dentures. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but these regular activities will resume normally once you are accustomed to your dentures.
