We all want to look our best on our wedding day and be able to enjoy the pictures for years to come. But in a last minute dash for a bright, white smile you could end up worse off in the long run. So why not begin planning your wedding day smile at the same time as buying the dress and booking the venue?
Lee Royle had been referred to 360’s Dr Jayme Adams to treat a badly damaged tooth but during the consultation he discovered that, with a tailor made improvement programme, his smile could be in top shape for the big ‘I do’.
Unfortunately not everyone consider any work they might want to have done on their smile until a few weeks before the big day. If more than a spot of teeth whitening is needed to create a set of blinding and beautiful teeth it could be too late. In addition, anyone thinking of having cosmetic dentistry work done should bear in mind the long-term impact. Veneers are great for an almost instant impact but the procedure is irreversible and will require life-long maintenance.
For those who want a long-term and natural look, making the most of the teeth you have already got by making smaller, more subtle adjustments with invisible braces, composite bonding and whitening could be the best decision you ever made (or, if you are getting married, perhaps the second best).
In Lee’s case, a visit to the dentist to save an unsaveable tooth led to a brand new smile: “With my wedding day approaching Dr Adams went the extra mile to ensure my teeth would be finished on time. He even saved the tooth that couldn’t be saved. I could not be any happier with the result. It made a big difference to my wedding day.”
The best way to get the smile you want is through a tailor made treatment plan – created between you and your dentist. Make sure your dentist understands what is important to you and insist on understanding the long-term benefits and implications of any treatment. And then of course make sure your dentist knows that any treatment must, if at all possible, be completed before the big day.
Just like a marriage, teeth can and should last a long time. By opting for treatments that use your own natural teeth as a starting point and make improvements from there, you can enjoy a beautiful smile until death do you part.
So if you’re shaping up to tie the knot and want to dazzle your guests with an a-list smile why not speak to a specialist dentist straight away? Lee certainly went up the aisle with the smile of his dreams to meet the woman of his dreams. But don’t just take our word for it. You can read his full testimonial HERE.
