For many people, the day they walk down the aisle is one is the most important photographic events of their lives. All eyes will be on you and the smile you wear will be the highlight of your bridal glow and cosmetic dentistry can elevate your confidence and smile on this special day. 

Cosmetic surgery is a very popular trade on this side of Detroit with cosmetic dentistry Farmington Hills clinics lining up Northwestern suburbia. If you are a bride-to-be, you have unfettered access to these and more dentistry centers across the city catering to every need and budget.  

Let's discuss the options and all the other important tidbits you need for wedding cosmetic dentistry in this post, shall we?

Do This First Before You Go for Wedding Cosmetic Dentistry 

Before you think about going for pre-wedding cosmetic surgery, you first need to understand the underlying issues you may have with your dentals and address them progressively For instance, have you been going for regular dental check-ups? Have been having your orals killed regularly?

 If you have time, do this and have your dentist treat existing conditions like cavities, gum disease, and discoloration. Having good oral health through regular preventive care actually impacts the success of any cosmetic procedure you might have. Yes, cosmetic dentists may give your dentals an amazing spruce but they cannot give you healthy gums in an instant.

Secondly, it's a good idea to go for teeth whitening before your wedding as clean teeth enhance your smile and give you confidence. However, teeth whitening is not everyone's cup of tea and you really need to be careful who you approach for this service because it does come with some risks like tooth sensitivity. Go for teeth whitening if your teeth are severely discolored and you want a refreshed youthful look for your wedding day. 

Try These Cosmetic Treatments If You Are A Wedding Bride

These are the main types of cosmetic treatments commonly given to brides and bridesmaids  based on my observations in Northern Detroit:

Porcelain Veneers

Getting Porcelain veneers should take precedence over other cosmetic treatments if you happen to have chipped, discolored or misaligned teeth. Porcelain veneers in cosmetic dentistry refer to the thin, custom-made shells that can be bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to transform your look. 

The main issues you can address with good porcelain veneers include staining and crooked dentals. As a bride, you can choose between temporary veneers (lasting several months) and permanent veneers which come at an extra cost but last a lifetime. Please remember that porcelain veneers need regular maintenance by a qualified cosmetic dentist. 

Reshaping and Contouring

You can go cosmetic teeth reshaping and contouring before your wedding day arrives if you have minor tooth imperfections. Teeth reshaping and contouring is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the shape and appearance of your teeth. 

Teeth reshaping procedures in cosmetic dentistry refer to removing small amounts of your enamel to smoothen or reshape the affected teeth or smooth out irregularities and sharp edges. Reshaping contouring procedures are usually quick and painless but with noticeable results on your smile. 

Bonding Your Dentals

Dental bonding is another popular bride and bridesmaid' procedure I have observed on this side of Detroit. Dental bonding is aimed at repairing any cracks, chips, or gaps you have between your teeth. Cosmetic dentists use a tooth-colored resin on the affected area which they then harden with a special light to bond your teeth's surface. 

Dental bonding is not as durable as crowns or veneers but it is usually much cheaper and faster. It will give you a solution if you have minor issues that need to be addressed before your big day. 

When Should Brides Go for Cosmetic Dental Treatments?

You need to time your appointment with your preferred cosmetic dentist as well as your bride. Most treatments have a recommended timeline for optimal results and to allow you to heal and adjust to your new look. For instance, you must schedule teeth whitening procedures a few weeks before your wedding day. Schedule more advanced treatments like veneers or Invisalign a few months before the big day. 

Lastly, remember that dental procedures are usually not covered by insurance especially those done for aesthetics. However, I would argue that they are worth every penny for those who want the perfect smile for their wedding day. All the best!
