Digital Dentistry

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!.)
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.

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

Kelly Kirsch

but it is free no credit card info or anything, and they are Video

not text documents.
