Your wedding day is without a doubt one of the most important days of your life. There are so many different things to organise, including the guest list, seating plan, choice of food for the wedding menu and even the music playlist. But it’s also important to look and feel your best on your special day and many people take extra steps to ensure that their smile is as white and bright as it possibly can be. At Birchgrove Dental Practice, we know how important it is to have a great-looking smile for your wedding day. So how can you achieve your perfect wedding day smile?
First of all, make sure that you brush and floss your teeth regularly. Whilst this might seem like the most obvious piece of advice, it is extremely important that you follow the recommended guidance of brushing and flossing twice a day to help keep your mouth and teeth clean and hygienic. We recommend that you brush your teeth twice a day to help reduce tartar and plaque, as well as reducing the chance of harmful bacteria affecting your teeth. Also, don’t forget to choose a toothpaste which is suited to your individual needs. If you have sensitive teeth, then consider using a brand of toothpaste which accounts for this.
Additionally, it is very important to make sure that you obtain a dental check-up in the run-up to your big day. At Birchgrove Dental Practice, our experienced staff can help you with this and we will check that your teeth are healthy. As well as ensuring that your teeth look great before your wedding, a dental check-up can make sure that everything is as it should be and that you don’t need any dental work before your wedding.
Professional teeth whitening can be a great way to make sure that your smile looks bright on your big day. Teeth whitening can rejuvenate your smile by counteracting the discolouration which happens as a result of daily life, from drinking coffee or wine, or from smoking. Nowadays, whitening procedures can even tailor the desired shade of the teeth to match your complexion. Whitening procedures are extremely successful and are quick and pain-free. The most common method of whitening is to apply a light bleach directly to the tooth enamel, which results in a dramatic improvement. As mentioned earlier in the article, the effectiveness of teeth whitening can be increased further by combining the treatment with the daily use of a whitening toothpaste, which can help to keep your teeth looking bright and white.
Another procedure which can be helpful for those of us who have slightly uneven smiles is to use braces. This is not as dramatic as it sounds, as nowadays there are a range of braces which can be applied which don’t involve having a large metal object attached to your smile, such as Invisalign clear braces. The use of braces can result in various benefits, including reducing gaps between the teeth which can attract plaque.
At Birchgrove Dental Practice, as a family-run professional practice, we offer a wide range of cosmetic dentistry treatments, including cosmetic bonding, white braces and teeth whitening. We can help your smile to look great on your wedding day.
