When you look back at your wedding photos, you don’t want to see a smile that’s anything less than perfect. Make your wedding day as beautiful as possible by having your dentist address any concerns you have about your smile before the ceremony. The following guide will explain a few common dental procedures to consider before the big day.

How Can a Dentist Fix Your Smile Before Your Wedding?

1. Crowns

If you have any broken or cracked teeth that you’ve been meaning to address, take this opportunity to fix it before your wedding day. Getting a crown can also give your teeth better alignment and help you with jaw pain. Make sure to ask your dentist about these treatments a few months before the wedding to allow enough time for the full procedure, which involves attaching a custom-made crown to your existing tooth’s root.

2. Veneers

Dental veneers help you get a pristine straight and white smile. These porcelain pieces are attached to the front of your existing teeth and are designed to cover any imperfections and discoloration. They’ll need to be fitted to your teeth by your dentist, so make sure to allow a few months for the entire procedure.

3. Teeth Whitening

One of the most popular pre-wedding dental procedures is professional teeth whitening. This is an ideal way to add some shine to your pearly whites before your big day. The procedure can include a combination of office visits and take-home whitening trays. Keep in mind that your teeth will be sensitive for a few weeks and may not be ready after the first treatment, so start the process at least a month before the wedding.
