AfterSmile FAQ

Your best work is your most powerful marketing asset. AfterSmile helps you document your smile transformations with professional quality, organize them by procedure type, and share them effortlessly during consultations or on social media. When prospects see what you've achieved for others, they envision what you can do for them - that's when consultations convert into treatments.

AfterSmile is free to download and use. All features including photo capture, portfolio organization, and before-and-after comparison tools are included at no cost. Your investment is simply your time to build a portfolio that can generate significant returns through increased case acceptance.

A great portfolio tells transformation stories. It showcases your range - from simple whitening to complex full-mouth reconstructions. The key is quality over quantity: select your most dramatic transformations, ensure consistent lighting and angles, and organize by procedure type so you can quickly show relevant cases to each prospect.

AfterSmile makes it simple: use consistent angles (front smile, retracted views, close-ups), maintain good lighting, and capture both before and after with the same framing. Our built-in comparison tool helps you align photos perfectly, creating that powerful visual impact that demonstrates your skill and attention to detail.

All images are stored locally on your device, giving you complete control. Your portfolio stays with you, accessible anytime without requiring an internet connection. This ensures you can showcase your work during consultations even in areas with limited connectivity.

Create folders for veneers, implants, orthodontics, whitening - whatever categories help you quickly find the perfect case to show each prospect.
