The Secret to Getting Your Smile Ready for Your Wedding Day

Did you recently get engaged? Congratulations! Right now, your head may be spinning with invitations, venue visits, honeymoon plans, and everything else that comes with planning a wedding. Oh, and somewhere in between you need to find the time to visit your cosmetic dentist. After all, the last thing you want is for discolored, chipped, or otherwise flawed teeth to steal the spotlight on your big day. Don’t worry – there is a secret to having a camera-ready smile in time, and I am going to share it with you right here!

So, What’s the Secret?

Drum roll please… the secret is to start early! I know this may not initially seem like insider knowledge, but there are so many brides and grooms that miss out on having the smile of their dreams for their wedding day because they wait until the last minute.

One of the biggest reasons for this is that patients often forget your oral health has to be in pristine condition before you can brighten, balance, and enhance your smile. So, if you wait until the week before, but you need to have a cavity filled before you’re eligible for a teeth whitening treatment, you may run out of time.

Another common oversight is the length of the treatment timeline. For example, while veneers can be placed in as little as two appointments, those visits are typically spread out over the course of several weeks. Even then, it’s a good idea to add some buffer time in case there are any delays or changes you want to make to ensure they are perfect.

For these reasons, I always recommend scheduling your initial consultation sooner rather than later. Booking it right after getting engaged will ensure you have plenty of time to achieve your smile goals. Plus, it’ll give you a camera-ready smile for your engagement photos, bridal shower, and all the other important festivities leading up to the big day.

What Cosmetic Dental Treatment Is Right for Me?

Whatever your smile goals are – from removing stubborn stains to correcting noticeable chips – there is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that can help. Here are a few of the most common ones:

• Veneers – One of the most sought-after smile-enhancing solutions, veneers can address a wide range of dental flaws simultaneously. From minor gaps and cracks to permanent discoloration, veneers can perfect nearly every aspect of your smile. Even better, the entire procedure can be completed in just a few appointments and the results can last for well over a decade.

• Cosmetic Dental Bonding – Perfect for more minor imperfections, this cosmetic dental treatment is quite cost-effective. It can address chips, small spacing issues, significant stains, and more. The only “downside” to consider is that the results typically only last for a few years at a time.

• Teeth Whitening – If your teeth have begun to look yellow and lackluster, then teeth whitening may be the solution you’ve been looking for! The safe, powerful, and effective brightening agent will lift stubborn stains, providing you with the white teeth you’ve been missing.

• Gum Recontouring – Think your smile is too “gummy?” Don’t worry – the excessive tissue can easily be removed. As a result, you’ll have a beautiful, balanced smile come your wedding day.
