With Summer Mini Sessions in full swing, and Fall Mini Sessions just going live this was a perfect time for this blog post about making sure your are prepared for your upcoming photoshoot!

Dr. Louis Olberding from Olberding Dental is joining us at Bliss + Lane for a guest post on Tips for Getting Your Smile Camera Ready!

With one click, your photographer will perfectly capture a moment of time (and you know how fleeting those can be!). Now that summer is here, the busy time for family photoshoots is rapidly approaching.

Consequently, I’ve been hearing more and more patients tell me that they’re worried about the way their smiles will look in their photos. Here’s what I told them…

#1. Don’t Wait to Address Your Smile

Whether you are unhappy with a few minor chips or more pigmented discoloration, it is important to schedule your initial consultation sooner rather than later. Why? To start, there may be some preliminary treatments that need to be completed beforehand, like periodontal therapy, to restore your oral health.

Additionally, getting started early will ensure your dentist in Lincoln will have the time they need to make your smile goals a reality. So, if you want your teeth to be even brighter after your first teeth whitening session, there’s plenty of time to do so!

#2. Whiten with a Professional

Speaking of teeth whitening treatments, stubborn stains are one of the most common complaints I hear from patients. While your first reaction may be to head to your local store and buy some over-the-counter whitening kits, the one-size-fits-all applicators and diluted brightening agents overpromise and underdeliver. Fortunately, the same cannot be said for professional alternatives. With a custom-fitted mouthguard and reliable, safe, clinically tested whitening gel from your cosmetic dentist in Lincoln, you can watch your smile transform before your eyes (in as little as two weeks too!).

#3. Pick a Fun Photographer

Getting in front of the camera and posing for photos can initially be a bit awkward, especially if this is your first time. However, having a fun photographer who makes you feel at ease, places you in natural positions, and gets you to genuinely smile makes all the difference in not only your experience, but the end result. That’s one of the many things I admire about Tristan! Her infectious energy and genuine talent make the entire process fun.

Now you know a few secrets to having a camera-ready smile for your photoshoot! If you have any questions about the process, from feeling comfortable in front of the camera to where to take your pictures, reach out to Tristan. Trust me, you’re in the best of hands.
