    How to Get a Perfect Smile and Better Teeth for Your Wedding Day

    June 26, 2014
    cosmetic dental work

    When it comes to pre-wedding pampering, high on the list of many brides — and grooms, too — is a better, brighter smile. Consider this: for many people, their wedding is the most photographed day of their life. Why not start off a new chapter with a new set of teeth, as well?

    Better teeth can represent a less drastic measure for brides who want an updated look, but who shy away from plastic surgery. New teeth don’t need to comprise a huge percentage of the wedding budget, either. The average cost of teeth whitening, for example, is $200 — more than a manicure, but less than the average cake.

    If you’re ready to indulge a bit for your wedding day, then here are a few procedures — and facts — that you should keep in mind.

    Teeth Whitening

    • How can you get teeth as white as your dress? Teeth whitening is fairly simple, and can be done within the space of a single appointment. A dentist will apply a layer of hydrogen peroxide to your teeth, which will break down stains in your teeth’s dentin. Light may be used to accelerate the process.
    • What’s the difference between getting your teeth whitened at a dentist, and getting store-bought treatment? Although the cost of teeth whitening at home will be lower, you’ll also see less dramatic results, as manufacturers are limited as to what concentration of hydrogen peroxide (the main ingredient) they can place on the shelf.
    • With good upkeep (daily brushing, limited coffee and smoking) the effects can last a long time, though one to two years is more average.

    Veneers

    • If you need more extensive cosmetic dental work, veneers might be the way to go — they can completely transform your smile. Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that a dentist bonds to the surface of your teeth.
    • Veneers can cover a wide range of problems, including small teeth, extensive staining, gaps, and cracks.
    • Veneers are not permanent and typically need to be replaced every 10 to 15 years. As far as cosmetic dentistry prices go, they are not as cheap as other procedures, costing about $900 per tooth.

    Dental Implants

    • Want to avoid having a gap-toothed smile on your wedding day, but prefer to skip the hassle of dentures? Dental implants are permanent and mimic the look and feel of real teeth.
    • Implants consist of a titanium rod inserted into the tooth’s socket, with a false tooth affixed to the top. Caring for the implant consists of little more than proper brushing and flossing.
    • Dental implant costs vary, but are usually from $2,000 to $4,000 per implant. Insurance does not usually cover this type of cosmetic dental work.

    What type of cosmetic dental work would you consider for your wedding? Let us know in the comments.

    I HAD TOP DENTAL IMPLANT. THE SURGICAL EXPERIENCE AND PLACEMENT WAS FANTASTIC. DR RECEVEUR AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY CARING. MY ONE COMPLAINT IS THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COME IN FOR AN ANNUAL "EXAM" AND XRAYS TO MAINTAIN THE WARRANTY BUT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE. THEY DO NOT GIVE ANY DISCOUNTS THAT INSURANCE WOULD NORMALLY GIVE AS THEY ARE OUT OF NETWORK, SO END UP PAYING MUCH HIGHER RATES. OTHER THAN THIS ONE AREA OF CONFUSION I WOULD RATE THEIR OFFICE AS EXCEPTIONAL.

    Staff at all levels were friendly and accommodating! Dr. Frederick and Janna listened to my wants and concerns at my consultation. By the time I was finished they had answered all of my questions and we had a plan to move forward. I am looking forward to my next visit.

    Love going here! Staff is extra friendly and kind. Of course it is difficult to talk with your mouth being worked on, but the dental technician you see remembers the things you all talk about at the 6 month appointments, and is always so friendly as well. They also give you really practical and simple ways to improve your dental hygiene, and i have started brushing everyday now because of their guidance. Could not recommend them more!
