What Dental Treatments Should I Get Before My Wedding?
Is your big day coming up? Whether it’s a year away or just a few months away, you may want to consider cosmetic dentistry to enhance your smile. The team at Brooklyn Heights Dental has helped brides and grooms all over Brooklyn with custom dental care solutions. Whether you’re in Fort Greene, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Crown Heights, or elsewhere, we can help.
So, what dental treatments might benefit you before your wedding? Let’s cover a few popular treatment options that can address many common dental health issues.
Dental Implants
Have some gaps between your teeth because of tooth loss? Bridges and traditional dentures are helpful. Then again, you may want to consider dental implants to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically embedded into your jawbone. The implants fuse with the bone structure, creating a high degree of durability.
Dental implants can be used to support an individual crown, a bridge, or even a full set of dentures. The best part is that they look natural and don’t require any adhesives or creams to maintain their grip.
Invisalign®
If you have crooked teeth, we have a modern approach to orthodontics to consider. Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces that can improve the health and appearance of your smile.
Rather than traditional brackets, wires, and bands like braces, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligner trays that are hard to notice. These trays are worn for two weeks at a time, gradually shifting your teeth into the proper position.
Patients will return to Brooklyn Heights Dental for periodic checkups as a way to monitor progress. After several months, your teeth will be straight.
Teeth Whitening
Many people wish they had whiter teeth, or that a stain on their front teeth wasn’t so visible. Rather than using whitening toothpastes, consider professional teeth whitening to bleach stains and discoloration.
Professional dental bleaching is faster and more effective than the use of over-the-counter strips or tray systems. That’s because your dentist can use high-grade bleaching gels to achieve great results.
The exact number of whitening sessions you’ll need will depend on the nature of your tooth discoloration. With that in mind, many patients see dramatic results after their initial whitening visit.
Veneers
Looking for a way to hide a problem on your front teeth? Well, veneers can mask all kinds of dental flaws that affect the most prominent teeth in your smile. That includes chips, cracks, stains, gaps, tooth shape issues, and asymmetry.
Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored material that are fixed to the front of a tooth. When in place, the veneers blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
Veneers are quite versatile. In fact, some patients can have all of their flaws treated with just a few well-placed veneers.
Plan for a Custom Smile Makeover
If you come to Brooklyn Heights Dental well before your wedding day, we may be able to create a total smile makeover just for you.
A smile makeover combines multiple treatments to address different flaws affecting your smile. That means we can use veneers, implants, whitening, and other procedures together.
The bottom line: we can create a dramatic smile transformation just in time for the happiest day of your life.
