Getting married is one of the most important days of many peoples’ lives. This event is usually marked by gathering of friends and family, and pictures to commemorate the occasion.
Preparing for your wedding day includes more than booking the venue, hiring a caterer, and sending out invitations. A wedding is an opportunity for many people to address what they don’t like about their smiles to ensure their wedding day is absolutely perfect!
What are some of your cosmetic dentistry options for your big day? Here’s how you can correct both small and large issues with your smile before your wedding!
Teeth Whitening: Safe and Effective
Many brides and grooms opt for professional teeth whitening for their wedding smiles. Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten teeth [1]. You have the option of going with a dramatic upgrade for the whitest smile, or a subtle whitening for a more natural look. Your dentist can review your options with you during your consultation. Professional teeth whitening generally only takes an hour at your local dentist’s office, making it a quick and easy solution for a gorgeous-looking smile!
Improve Many Issues at Once With Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a popular way to improve numerous concerns about your smile with one treatment. People who opt for dental veneers report increased self-confidence, and there are different types of veneers based on your goals for your smile, from ultra-thin versions to composite resin veneers [2].
If you have deeply stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening techniques, unshapely teeth, or even mildly crooked teeth, veneers can help correct all of these concerns and more. Veneers are stain-resistant and can noticeably transform your smile for your big day!
Fix Chips and Cracks With Dental Bonding
If you have a few chips or cracks in your teeth, dental bonding is a cost-effective procedure that can correct the appearance of these issues and help prevent them from becoming worse, making it both a cosmetic and restorative form of dentistry.
Often times, brides and grooms that have chips or cracks in their smile don’t realize how much their appearance can improve with dental bonding. The process uses the same composite resin material as tooth-colored fillings, allowing you to repair your smile safely!
Dental Crowns for Strength and Beauty
Porcelain dental crowns are an excellent option for people that have cracked teeth at risk of developing complications, worn-down teeth, or even a single discolored tooth. Dental crowns are strong and can last for many years with proper maintenance, giving you a secure option for your wedding smile.
Many dentists offer same-day crown technology with in-office machinery, giving you the option to get your permanent dental crown in just one day [3]. This prevents the need for numerous appointments and helping you save time before your wedding!
Invisalign: Straighten Teeth Faster
If you have crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth that you’d like to get fixed before your wedding day, Invisalign could be the right choice. Clear orthodontic aligners with Invisalign give you the option to straighten your teeth faster than with traditional metal braces [4]. Your Invisalign-certified dentist or orthodontist can let you know if you would be a good candidate for
Invisalign to get your smile fixed by your wedding!
