Benefits of a Wedding Smile Makeover

If you’re unhappy with your smile, a wedding day smile makeover could be just the thing to help you feel more relaxed and confident on your wedding day. Some of the benefits include:

  • Capture unforgettable memories with your beautiful smile
  • Feel comfortable and confident
  • Able to enjoy your special day without worrying about your smile
  • Enjoy your favorite foods
  • Put an end to the tooth pain that may put a damper on your wedding day

What dental concerns can a wedding smile makeover correct?

A wedding smile makeover can improve your dental health and help you feel more confident on the big day. As such, it should be part of your pre-wedding checklist as a smile makeover can correct many dental concerns such as:

  • Uneven Teeth
  • Discolored or stained teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Decayed teeth
  • Teeth that are chipped, cracked, or broken
  • Improper tooth spacing or gaps between teeth

Need Restorative Dental Work Before the Wedding?

There are many options for restoring broken, chipped, or stained teeth, including filling the gaps of missing enamel with bonding, crowns, or veneers.

Dental bonding is a simple, non-invasive and conservative procedure that transforms chipped, broken, cracked teeth into beautifully aligned and proportioned smiles. With bonding, tooth-colored composite material is bonded to the tooth surface. The composite is tooth-colored and can close spaces between the teeth if they are too thin.

Veneers are a quick and popular choice to give your smile a complete makeover. They can fix various cosmetic dental issues such as cracks, chips, gaps, stains, crooked teeth, and poorly shaped teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells covering the front side of teeth and are polished to look like your own natural teeth. A veneer is an easy option for those who want to improve a less than perfect smile. 

Crowns are sometimes necessary if the porcelain veneer won’t work or to protect and fix severely broken or decayed teeth. Crowns can also improve the appearance of your smile by making your teeth a uniform shape and size by covering unsightly fillings, chips in front teeth, and gaps between your teeth.

Timetable for your Wedding Smile Makeover

At Sloan Creek Dental, we customize each procedure to meet your individual needs. Since every smile makeover is unique, we’ll work together to decide specifically which procedures will yield the best results for your lifestyle and goals. Here is the approximate timing for different cosmetic treatments with Dr. Feng.

One Year or More: If you’re looking to straighten your teeth, make sure you have enough time for orthodontic treatment. Treatment using Invisalign Clear Aligners requires less time than traditional metal braces; however, we still recommend giving yourself enough time to complete the treatment for straight teeth.

Six Months or More: Dental implants are the best long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Schedule your consultation at least six months in advance so you’ll have the look and the functionality you want by the day of your wedding.

Three Months or Less: We can complete many restorative and cosmetic treatments in a matter of weeks. Fixing your fillings, veneers, or porcelain crowns can be completed in about a month or so. Depending on the treatment needed, we can even perform some procedures same day.

One Month or Less: Our wedding laser teeth whitening treatment can brighten your smile and make a more attractive smile in less than an hour. We typically recommend doing the treatment a month or at least two weeks beforehand if your teeth become temporarily sensitive after the laser teeth whitening.

Tips for a picture-perfect smile

Here are some top tips on helping you achieve that picture-perfect smile if you’re looking for an at-home treatment option.

  • If you’re planning a big event and want white teeth for photos, whiten your teeth at least one month beforehand. By doing so, you give yourself extra time for any needed touch-ups. If you whiten your teeth too close to the event, there is a risk of tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, negatively affecting your wedding day and photos.
  • Give your smile a boost by using a toothpaste that has a whitening agent to help achieve that brilliant white smile. This will also help your teeth stay white longer if you’re using another form of whitening treatment.
  • Wine and coffee are delicious but try to avoid drinking them or eating stain-causing foods that can cause stains on your teeth.
  • Caring for your teeth is not only good for your oral health, but it is also a big part of living a healthy lifestyle. Brush your teeth twice daily, floss daily, and visit your dentist for regular examinations and cleanings.
