Managing your Dental Photos - What a pain
I want to tell everyone two crazy stories about dental photos - your before and after pictures.
I talked with two dental professionals this week and they were in pain. Why? One gentleman was driving to his different practices, getting on different computers in the office, and trying to email and burn his before and after dental photos - all to have them in one central place. Let’s see now… that probably took a full day of his time and frustration and now what?! Ouch! The other story is so sad. The computer geek employed by the second dental practice took home a computer to “fix it” and ended up deleting all the files on the hard drive. 350 cases gone. No backups. So sad!
Are dental professionals ready for a smile gallery solution that makes their lives better? I think so. Here are the issues that Smile Gallery Pro resolves:
Get new patients by showing the quality of your dentistry.
Smile Gallery Pro is not just a place to store your before and after photos and create amazing smile galleries. Smile Gallery Pro allows you to send your smile galleries to patients, improve case acceptance and generate referrals.
Be in control of your portfolio.? ?
Never again feel trapped by your Website company because you spent so much time getting your photos up on your Website. Take your smile galleries with you to any Website company and never deal with having to upload pictures again.
Use a cost effective solution.?
Forget Flash designers and programmers that cost hundreds of dollars an hour or charge astronomical design fees to create smile galleries that you can’t even change, edit or take with you.? At $77, Smile Gallery Pro is very cost effective.
Use media that patients care about.
Smile Gallery Pro uses a patient focused approach to patient communication. Show your smile galleries on the Web, DVD, print, computer, email and let new and existing patients see your work where they want to see your work - all with high quality design. Let the quality of your work be the message!
Publish your life’s work.?
95% of dentists feel that their before and after photos are representative of the quality of their dentistry.? Share your life’s work with the people that matter. Be published. Patients want to see your work.
Safeguard your before and after portfolio.
Don’t lose your photos because of a hard drive crash or an accidental deletion. Smile Gallery Pro allows you to access and share your cases on our secure and convenient Website.?
Benefit from the future of communications now.
Because your smile galleries are stored on the internet, you are only a few clicks away from using your photos to power your marketing and communications. You can now access and share anytime, anyplace, with anyone.
Don’t be perceived as a bait and switch dental professional.
Using generic photos to sell your skills as a dentist is unethical. Using a generic smile catalogue is acceptable, but when a prospective patient asks to see examples of your work, Smile Gallery Pro will allow you to respond convincingly.
Big photos equal big impact.
Unlike Website companies, Smile Gallery Pro lets you use large photos and full browser Flash to display your galleries on the Web. Don’t get caught spending thousands for a smile gallery where the photos are too small.
Easy to use.
Smile Gallery Pro was designed and tested to be easy-to-use. This allows you to easily add cases and create galleries. It also allows your team members to generate marketing results with just a few clicks.
Are dental professionals ready for a smile gallery solution that makes their lives better?? I want dentists to use? Smile Gallery Pro and let me know if it works for them. Cheers!

JP, I’ve got to say you’ve really outdone yourself here! Smile Gallery Pro is a PHENOMENAL tool, and I’m thrilled you’ve made it available to us dentists who recognize the value of sharing quality photos with our patients and prospective patients.
Smile Gallery Pro’s applications go WAY beyond showing off your Before and Afters. If you were to just use SGP for that alone, it would still be worth multiple times the paltry investment. But what’s even better is that you can leverage its power even moreso by using it in different ways.
You can create a new gallery for each patient in your practice using clinical photos that demonstrate their dental conditions and problems. Using this gallery during discussions with patients really drives home the need for treatment.
Another application that’s worth its weight in gold is to create several gelleries of different dental conditions and problems that crop up frequently in your practice. For example, do you think it would be a good idea to have a gallery on hand to show patients what teeth with old silver fillings look like when you remove the fillings, revealing the often MASSIVE amounts of decay underneath? You bet it would! This one strategy alone is worth literally thousands of dollars MONTHLY if applied properly. With SGP it’s a piece of cake to put these galleries together…and just as easy to display them.
Stay tuned in future entries as I reveal more unique ways to harness the power of Smile Gallery Pro.
