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’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

Everyone that I have come in contact with at Dr. Receveur's office has been very kind, professional and very knowledgeable. From Jean, Denise, reception and Dr. Receveur himself. They also keep in great communication, which helps out a lot and is highly appreciated. I highly recommend and look forward to my next visit. Thanks!

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
