Why QR

Reliable identification

Helps reduce errors when assigning photos to patients — typos, misreads, and name confusion.

Helps prevent mix-ups

The QR code encodes the patient identity directly into the session. Helps reduce typos and confusion — even when two patients share a surname.

One QR, whole session

Take one photo of the QR at the start of shooting — with the same camera you use for patient photos. SmileCrop then assigns every session photo to the correct patient automatically.

Free on any clinic PC

SmileQR needs no license. Generate codes at reception, in the waiting room, or on any clinic computer — free and unlimited.

How it works

How it works — five steps

  1. 1

    Install SmileQR

    Download and launch the free SmileQR tool on reception or any other clinic computer. No license, no account needed.

  2. 2

    Add patients

    Enter the patient's name or import from your dental practice management system. Patient management is simple and fast.

  3. 3

    Generate the QR code

    One click generates the patient QR code on screen — show it on a computer, tablet, or phone. No printing, no labels needed.

  4. 4

    Take a photo of the QR with your camera

    At the start of the photo session, take a picture of the QR code as the first frame. Same camera, same way — no extra devices, no scanners.

  5. 5

    SmileCrop assigns the photos

    SmileCrop detects the QR frame and automatically assigns all session photos to the correct patient. No renaming, and far less room for a patient mix-up.
