I’ve spent much of today running searching on the photo retouching of teeth
and am not quite coming up with the tutorial/book I think I need. It has to
be specific to dental practices, i.e., "rounding incisal embrazures" or "approximating the golden proportion", are terms he uses to describe what he
wants.

Get some books on Prosthodontics. They are usually very well illustrated to show cases and corrections (before, after) and styles appropriate to certain looks. Probably the very hardest thing to simulate is how the face changes after an appliance is installed, and it really does change a lot in some cases. I’d hate to screw up on that part.

Dear Experienced PhotoShop Users,

I have begun to do some work for a cosmetic dentist who uses digital imagery in his practice. Up to now, we send patient images off to have their smiles digitally enhanced, but the doctor is anxious for me to try my hand at it as well.

I have mastered whitening fairly quickly, but am struggling with lengthening teeth, rounding corners, recreating more youthful smiles, etc.

(*Several of you have posted with excellent tips and because of them I’ve managed to advanced my skills as a result of them. Many thanks!.)

Does anyone else have experience in this? If so, what materials did you use to educate yourself? Books? Classes? Better search criteria?

TIA,
