Your wedding day will be one of the happiest of your life. It will also be one of the most photographed. That means taking care of your teeth should be part of wedding planning. You may need more than a simple teeth cleaning before the nuptials. Here are just a few ways to prepare your smile amid cake tastings and tailor visits. 

3 Tips for Preparing Your Smile for Your Wedding

1. Stay on Top of Preventive Care

No one wants to experience a dental emergency weeks or even days before their big day. Although there is no foolproof way to avoid unanticipated accidents, practicing good preventive care will keep your teeth healthy and strong. Brushing, flossing, and scheduling regular teeth cleanings will make your teeth less vulnerable to damage and decay as the wedding nears. 

2. Address Any Minor Imperfections 

If you have any chips, cracks, or gaps, it’s wise to have them repaired before the wedding. Fortunately, it shouldn't take more than one or two office visits to fix any minor issues. It may also be possible to fix moderate to severe imperfections if you plan far enough in advance. For example, Invisalign® can usually repair crooked, misaligned, and overcrowded teeth in just 12 months. 

3. Schedule Professional Teeth Whitening 

Whether you’ll be wearing a white dress or a black tux on your wedding day, professional whitening will ensure your smile is glowing and bright in every photo. Although there are various at-home products that claim to whiten teeth, an in-office procedure will produce the most dramatic results. The dentist will tailor this treatment to your desired level of brightness to ensure you’re happy with the results.
