Teeth Whitening Can Improve Your Smile in Time for Your Wedding

Teeth WhiteningIf you want to see dramatic improvements to your teeth, try our teeth whitening procedure. This is an excellent way to brighten your smile before your wedding photographer starts to snap pictures. In fact, these photo-worthy moments will start long before your actual wedding day. From your bridal shower to bachelor/bachelorette party and rehearsal dinner, there will be plenty of opportunities for friends and family to take pictures to post on Instagram and Facebook. This makes it important to improve your smile early, so you can smile with confidence. Once your wedding day arrives, we can make sure that your smile is as stunning as you are.

Why should I visit a dentist for teeth whitening instead of buying something at the store?

The type of whitening solution you use will directly impact how white your teeth become. Most whitening products contain some level of peroxide. The type and chemical compounds used to create the solution will vary from product to product and brand to brand. The solutions sold in the store are typically designed to remove surface stains only. If your teeth are fairly white, this should be enough to improve your smile. However, most people have deeper stains and yellowing that comes from within the tooth, and this will not be impacted by what you buy in the store. By comparison, our whitening solution uses a peroxide that will penetrate your enamel and begin the process of oxidization. This is where the molecules inside your teeth are made to reflect less light and appear colorless. As a result, your teeth will be bright, white, and beautiful.

Timing is critical when it comes to your wedding.

While preparing for your wedding, it is important to have your teeth whitening procedure completed in time for your pre-wedding events. When you visit our office, we can whiten your teeth quickly, whereas if you buy something in the store, it can take weeks to begin working. Another benefit of whitening your teeth early is that we can perform any additional procedures that are necessary. For example, if you have a stubborn stain that is not responding like it should, we can use dental bonding or a dental veneer to cover it. We can also use these two solutions to restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped, close small gaps in between your teeth, change the shape and size of your teeth, and even make your teeth appear to be straighter. All this can be done fairly quickly, but if you have a month before your wedding, we can ensure that your smile transformation is complete and you feel normal again. With dental veneers, it can take a couple of weeks to get used to the changes we make to your teeth. In any case, we can discuss your options with you, what can be completed within the timeframe you have available, and go to work improving your smile. Even if you only have a few days before your wedding, we can still whiten your teeth, so there is always something that can be done to improve your appearance.
