Before You Say “I Do”: Cosmetic Dentistry Options for Brides and Grooms

Preparing for a wedding can be an exciting and memorable experience. Because this will be the most important day of your life, you and your spouse-to-be want to look your best, especially when you say “cheese” for all those pictures. If you have dental issues, such as discoloration or misalignment, that are affecting your confidence, several cosmetic dental solutions are available in Cincinnati.

Teeth Whitening

The simplest way to enhance your smile is to get a whitening treatment from your local family dentist. You may be tempted to buy whitening strips from a drugstore. Still, a professional procedure is the most effective way to eliminate those stubborn stains once and for all, achieving the long-lasting results you desire.

Veneers

For noticeable issues in your front teeth, such as chips, slight misalignment, gaps, permanent discoloration, and worn enamel, consider getting veneers. They are thin shells that fit over the front of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are resistant to stains and, although not permanent, will last up to 15 years with proper care.

Dental Crowns

If you have one or more teeth with significant damage, you may prefer a crown, which provides more coverage than a veneer. A dental crown is designed to replace the upper part of the tooth that’s above the gumline. Your dentist may recommend a dental crown if you have broken teeth, a large cavity, or significant cracks.

Make sure you plan enough time for the procedure and recovery. A dental crown typically requires two visits, about two weeks apart. Find a dentist in Cincinnati who creates full or partial crowns on-site, which saves you valuable time.

Dental Implants

If you have a missing tooth, you’re probably not thrilled about smiling for photos or talking and laughing with your guests at the reception. A dental implant can be a significant improvement to your look. Today’s implants look just like the real thing, and they’re fixed to the jawbone with a titanium post to provide a strong foundation. Talk to your family dentist as soon as possible if you think you might benefit from a dental implant.

Gum Contouring

Suppose you don’t have any issues with your teeth, but you feel self-conscious about your “gummy” smile. Many people have excessive gum tissue, which can be noticeable. Cosmetic gum contouring reshapes the gums to reveal more of the teeth, creating a more natural appearance. This minimally invasive procedure can give your smile a big boost.

Personalized Cosmetic Dentistry for Your Special Day

At Beckham Square Family Dental, we want to help you achieve a smile you’re proud to show off when walking down the aisle. As with any procedure, we encourage you to discuss your concerns with us. During your initial consultation, we’ll review your dental health and recommend a treatment tailored to your specific problem areas.

Most cosmetic procedures require a significant amount of time to complete and are often followed by a recovery period. Therefore, it’s essential that you plan early and contact us as soon as possible before your special day. Regardless of the treatment you need, we suggest that you’re fully recovered at least a few weeks before the wedding. Your day should be memorable, and we’ll do all we can to give you a beautiful smile.
