Achieving Your Perfect Wedding Smile
Wedding preparation takes time, and achieving the perfect smile for your big day is no different. If you’re considering having some cosmetic dental treatments before your big day, we’ve got you covered with the perfect timeline to allow you to smile with confidence as you say “I do”.
After your engagement
There will be a million things to think about and plan after you get engaged, and booking a dental check-up is not likely at the top of your list. However, if you are considering some cosmetic dental treatments it’s important to book a check-up as soon as possible as you may require some restorative dental care. Ensuring that your oral health is in good condition is key to successful cosmetic treatments and these can take some time to treat and heal.

Once your dentist has completed a check-up and addressed any underlying dental issues, you can follow your dentist’s advice for any cosmetic treatments you wish to have before your big day. If you are concerned about crooked or spaced teeth, you may wish to avail of orthodontic treatment. Invisalign Go can be an amazing orthodontic treatment for those with minor orthodontic concerns, and results can be achieved in as little as 3 to 6 months! Invisalign Go utilises virtually invisible clear and removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into position. To allow yourself enough time to achieve your straight smile, it’s important to visit your dentist as soon as possible.
6 months before your wedding day
Teeth whitening is a very popular treatment that brides and grooms tend to have before their wedding. However, teeth whitening cannot be achieved overnight. The teeth whitening process includes having moulds taken of your teeth so that you can whiten your teeth at home over a period of time to achieve your desired shade. It’s important to allow time for this so that you can successfully achieve your pearly white smile in time for your wedding. Once you have achieved your desired shade, you may have some whitening gel left over to top them up before the big day, or you can purchase refill syringes of whitening gel from your dentist.
3 months before your wedding day
By now, you should have completed the majority of your cosmetic dentistry that you wish to have done before your wedding. However, last minute treatments can still be completed to help you achieve that perfect wedding smile! Composite bonding or veneers are an extremely popular treatment that can enhance your smile both quickly and effectively. While these treatments are quick and minimally-invasive, it is still important to give yourself enough time to book an appointment that suits your schedule and to allow you time to get used to any cosmetic treatment you have had done.
Finally, a scale and polish is always a good option right before your wedding to make sure any plaque is removed from your teeth to make sure your smile is healthy and happy on your big day!
