If you are the bride or groom to be, then congratulations on your up-coming wedding! If you are a family member, bridal party member or a good friend that would like to flash a nice smile at your upcoming wedding, then make sure you come and visit Northbridge Dentists first!
There are a range of treatment options depending on what you want to achieve. Understandably if it's your wedding, there is a lot to do, so come in nice and early before time gets away from you! Keep in mind that dental procedures can irritate the gums which may take a few days to settle down, so make sure you don't leave it until the few days before your big day! Ideally treatment should be finished a week or so prior to the wedding.
The most common things wedding couples have done before their big day are general cleans, polishing and tooth whitening. Cleans should be done at least a few days to a week prior to your wedding if possible. In chair whitening should be done a few weeks out from your wedding day. If you require at-home whitening trays and bleach, organise this at six weeks out from your big day to allow for impressions and construction of your whitening trays.
Some procedures such as crowns and veneers can require planning, records and further discussion. It is best to try and get this started at least a couple of months in advance. Even more time will be needed if orthodontics (tooth movement) is required! Like weddings in general, good planning can go a long way!
Unlike everything else labelled "wedding," there is no mark-up with dental work whether you get it before or after your big day, so you may as well come in and have your smile perfected so that you can look nice in all those photos for eternity!
