Why You Should Plan for a Teeth Whitening Treatment Before Your Wedding

If you are getting married, call our office to schedule your teeth whitening treatment. This is one of the most important and memorable days in most people's lives. Whether you are planning a grand affair for your 300 friends or an intimate gathering with your close family, it is highly likely you will spend a couple of hours posing for pictures taken by a professional photographer.

On top of that, your friends and family will be on hand to snap photos with their smartphones and post them to Facebook. With pictures being snapped from every angle, it is important that you look and feel your very best. While planning your pre-wedding exercise routine and looking for the perfect dress, we encourage you to also consider your teeth and how your smile will impact your appearance.

Both men and women claim that a smile is one of the very first things they notice when meeting a person and that an attractive smile is a major factor in how attractive they deem someone to be. On a day as special as your wedding, you should make sure your smile presents you in the best possible light. The first thing we recommend is that you schedule an appointment to have your teeth cleaned.

If they are full of plaque and tartar, your smile will look dirty and unhealthy, giving a terrible impression. This is also important for ensuring you do not have any sudden toothaches while walking down the aisle. While this is a critical first step, it will not give you a bright and brilliant smile. For that, you will need a teeth whitening treatment.

Our patients are delighted with the results they see after a professional whitening. This is because we can turn back the clock, making you appear younger and more refreshed by eliminating the deep stains and discoloration that have settled into your teeth. Yellow and stained teeth are a sign of age and poor health, so by simply whitening them, you will look better. Once you have decided to do so, it is important to understand the differences between whitening solutions so you can select the best option for you.

The solution matters

Whether you buy a whitening kit from the store or visit our dental office, a whitening solution will be put on your teeth that will likely contain some level of peroxide. That is where the similarities end. The type of peroxide in our solution is stronger than what you can buy in the store. It is designed to penetrate your enamel and begin the process of oxidization, so the molecules inside of your teeth will reflect less light and your teeth will appear colorless or bright white. What you buy in the store will typically only remove the surface stains, so your teeth will still look slightly yellow.

Comfort is important

When you get a teeth whitening store-bought kit, the trays will be designed to fit everyone and will not be as secure or snug as what we can provide you with. For this reason, your experience will be far more comfortable when whitening your teeth with the help of a dentist.
