Just like your dress or tuxedo, your smile will be captured in numerous photos taken during your wedding. As such, you’ll want to make sure your pearly whites look their best before it’s time to walk down the aisle. Fortunately, your dentist can perform a variety of procedures that will help you achieve the perfect smile for such a special occasion. Here are a few dental treatments you may consider.

Dental Procedures That Will Fix Tooth Imperfections

1. Teeth Whitening 

Teeth whitening is a quick and cost-effective way to eliminate discoloration and stains that could detract from your wedding photos. Typically, the dentist will take a mold of your teeth to create a customized whitening tray and then fill it with a professional bleaching product.

Though it’s a simple procedure, you should schedule it at least two weeks before the ceremony to allow enough time to get your desired results. Additionally, should you experience any gum irritation or hot and cold sensitivity, it won’t affect your big day.

2. Veneers

The process involves reshaping the original tooth’s surface and taking an impression to send to a lab where the veneers are created. Once they come back, they’re bonded to the teeth.

This procedure requires some preparation, so you’ll need to visit your dentist two to three months before your wedding day. Doing so will ensure there’s time to create the veneers and make certain they fit correctly.

3. Orthodontics

Many couples begin planning their wedding at least a year in advance. If you have this much time or longer and are dealing with crooked or misaligned teeth, you might want to think about having orthodontic work done. Dental advancements have introduced clear and invisible braces, which are made to blend in with your natural teeth. 

Depending on your particular needs and the type of braces you choose, treatment can take six months to two years on average. Thus, you should start talking to your dentist right away about what approach to take.
