Choose your best photo
Pick a photo where you're looking at the camera with a warm, genuine smile. For dentists especially, your smile matters - it shows patients you practice what you preach. White coat, scrubs, or professional attire all work. Even operatory lighting can be fixed.
Background blur: 15-20 seconds. Full background replacement: 25-35 seconds.A photo showing your natural smile works better than a closed-mouth serious expression. Patients want an approachable dentist. -

Review for warmth and professionalism
Check that you look friendly yet competent. Verify the background is clean and modern but not sterile. Ensure your smile looks natural. Nervous patients need to see someone approachable.

When Things Go Wrong
White coat looks overexposed or washed out
Why: AI sometimes over-brightens white fabric when enhancing lighting.
Mentioning 'texture' helps the AI preserve detail in white garments.
Teeth look unnaturally white
Why: Teeth whitening can be overdone, especially for dental professionals who want perfection.
Ironically, dentists should avoid obviously fake-white teeth in photos - it looks untrustworthy.
Background looks too sterile or clinical
Why: Dental office backgrounds can veer toward cold clinical aesthetic.
Words like 'welcoming' and 'warm' guide away from intimidating clinical looks.
Smile doesn't look natural
Why: Over-enhancement can make expressions look forced or artificial.
Your natural smile is your best asset - less retouching is usually better.
AI changed something I didn't want changed
Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.
Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to mark the background before describing what I want?
No. Just describe what you want: 'replace background with modern dental office' or 'blur the operatory equipment.' The AI understands what 'background' means. Only use markers if you need precision on specific areas, like refining edges around your collar.
How important is my smile in a dental professional headshot?
Very important. You're in the smile business. A warm, genuine smile shows patients you're approachable and that you practice what you preach. Avoid closed-mouth serious expressions. Your headshot smile should make patients think 'I'd trust this person with my teeth.'
Should I whiten my teeth in my headshot?
Subtle brightening is fine, but avoid obviously artificial whiteness. As a dental professional, your teeth should look healthy and natural, not Hollywood-fake. Over-whitened teeth can actually look untrustworthy. Aim for 'well-maintained professional' not 'porcelain veneers ad.'
What background works best for dentist headshots?
Clean modern dental office or reception area works best - it provides context without clutter. Avoid visible operatory equipment which can trigger dental anxiety. Soft blurred backgrounds also work well. The setting should feel professional, modern, and welcoming.
White coat, scrubs, or regular professional attire?
All work depending on your practice style. White coats convey clinical authority. Clean scrubs feel approachable and modern. Business casual works for practice owners or consultants. Match your attire to how patients typically see you and your practice brand.
How do I make nervous patients feel comfortable from my photo?
Warmth is key. Use prompts like 'warm friendly lighting' and 'welcoming background.' Ensure your smile looks genuine and approachable. Avoid overly clinical or sterile settings. Your photo should feel like 'this dentist will be gentle' not 'this is a scary medical environment.'
