The care behind the result

More than a before
and an after.

A useful case tells you what the patient needed, which options were considered, and why a particular treatment was chosen.

Real care.
Shared with permission.

Rooted’s clinical case collection will grow as patients choose to share their care. We are not publishing sample patients or borrowed before-and-after results.

Until then, here is a useful way to look at case photography when researching treatment.

Look for the full story.

A final photograph cannot explain the starting health of the teeth, alternatives, treatment time, or maintenance. Ask which teeth were treated, what materials were used, and whether other care was needed first.

Compare like with like.

Lighting, camera angle, lip position, and image processing can change how a result appears. Useful comparisons use similar framing and exposure, with no cosmetic retouching of the clinical outcome.

Keep your situation in view.

Someone else’s result does not establish what will work for you. Tooth structure, gums, bite, health, and personal priorities all influence the choices. Bring examples as a starting point for conversation, rather than an exact result to reproduce.
