Dental Photography & Video Case Study: Spencer Dentistry (Optio Publishing)

connect

project summary

Optio Publishing partnered with us to capture a full library of dental photography and video content for Spencer Dentistry in London, Ontario. The goal was to create clean, modern visuals for website, marketing, and commercial use, all within a single, efficient production.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Client: Optio Publishing (for Spencer Dentistry, Shore Dental Group)
Project: Dental Office Photo & Video Content Production
Location: London, Ontario
Services: Commercial Photography, Video Production, Creative & Production Planning
Completed: July 2024

We worked with Optio Publishing to produce a full set of dental photography and video content for Spencer Dentistry, part of the Shore Dental Group.

The goal was to create a versatile content library that could be used across website design, marketing campaigns, and commercial production.

This included:
  • Lifestyle photography showing patient and staff interactions
  • Interior and exterior clinic photography
  • Environmental team headshots
  • Video clips for marketing and commercial use
  • Interview-style video content with dentists

Video footage was captured by Dylan & Sandra, with final video editing produced by Optio Publishing.
Capturing professional dental photography and video inside an active clinic environment requires careful planning and flexibility.

For this project, we needed to:
  • Capture a wide range of content within a limited timeframe
  • Work around real patient appointments once the clinic opened
  • Maintain a clean, professional look without disrupting operations
  • Coordinate both photography and video production simultaneously

After the first portion of the shoot, the clinic became fully operational, requiring us to adapt in real time while continuing to capture high-quality content.
We began with a clear creative brief provided by Optio Publishing, focused on natural, patient-centered visuals.

From there, we developed a structured shot list covering:
  • Patient interactions and lifestyle moments
  • Dental procedures and consultations
  • Technology and equipment highlights
  • Interior and exterior imagery
  • Interview-style video content

A key priority was efficiency.

Rather than treating photo and video as separate productions, we planned to capture both simultaneously whenever possible. This reduced downtime, minimized disruption to the clinic, and ensured consistency across all content.

STRATEGY & CREATIVE PLANNING

Hybrid Photo & Video Capture
We captured photography and video at the same time throughout the shoot. This approach allowed us to:
  • Reduce production time
  • Maintain visual consistency across formats
  • Avoid duplicating setups
  • Minimize impact on clinic operations

Working Within a Live Clinic
Once the clinic opened, we adjusted to a more dynamic environment. We coordinated closely with staff and worked within natural gaps between appointments to capture content efficiently. This included:
  • Moving quickly between setups
  • Adjusting timing based on patient flow
  • Capturing content without interrupting staff or patients

Lifestyle & Patient Interaction Content
We staged natural, welcoming interactions using team members as model patients. These included:
  • Reception interactions
  • Dentist consultations
  • Communication moments between staff and patients
The goal was to create visuals that feel authentic and reflect a real patient experience.

Interior & Exterior Photography
We captured a full set of dental office photography, including:
  • Reception and waiting areas
  • Treatment rooms
  • Technology and equipment
  • • Exterior and surrounding environment
  • Interior images were captured using a mix of HDR and flash photography to maintain a clean, bright, and natural look.
  • Exterior images were carefully composed to highlight the clinic while minimizing distractions.

Technology & Service Highlights
We documented key tools and services within the clinic, including:
  • Scanning technology used for treatments such as Invisalign
  • Consultation-style demonstrations
  • Clean and modern equipment visuals
These visuals help communicate professionalism and quality of care to potential patients.

Interview & Educational Video Content
We filmed interview-style video content featuring the dentists explaining procedures such as:
  • Tooth extractions
  • Wisdom teeth removal
  • Treatment processes and patient care
These were captured in a conversational, approachable way, often with a model patient present to make the content feel more natural.

Environmental Headshots
We captured quick environmental headshots and video clips of the dental team within the clinic space.
This approach allowed us to create professional team imagery without requiring a separate headshot session.

PRODUCTION APPROACH

The final deliverables were designed to support both the clinic and Optio Publishing’s internal production team.

Deliverables included:
  • A full library of lifestyle and dental office photography
  • Interior and exterior architectural images
  • Environmental headshots
  • RAW video clips covering key areas of the clinic
  • Interview-style video content with audio

Photography was delivered as both edited images for the client and RAW selections for Optio Publishing.

Video footage was delivered as RAW clips for Optio’s team to edit into final marketing assets.
The final result was a complete, flexible content library that could be used across:

  • Website design
  • Marketing campaigns
  • Social media
  • Commercial video production

This project also led to additional work with the Shore Dental Group across multiple locations, demonstrating the effectiveness of a consistent and scalable production process.
This project was successful due to a combination of planning, efficiency, and adaptability.

Key factors included:
  • A clear shot list and production plan
  • Capturing photo and video simultaneously
  • Flexibility within an active clinic environment
  • •A focus on natural, patient-centered visuals

By combining strategy with efficient execution, we were able to deliver high-quality content without disrupting the clinic’s operations.
