Getting wedding ready? Here’s the timeline you need to know for cosmetic dentistry

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and it's natural to want to look and feel your best. Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to achieve the perfect smile for your big day. However, many patients wonder how long it takes to have cosmetic dentistry before a wedding. In this blog, we'll go through different cosmetic dental treatments such as Invisalign, dental implants, and veneers and advise how long before the wedding a patient should begin treatment so it will be complete before the wedding.

Invisalign:

Invisalign is an excellent option for those who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the misalignment, but on average, it takes about 6 to 12 months to complete Invisalign treatment. Therefore, it's recommended that patients begin Invisalign treatment around 18 months before their wedding day. You may find that your treatment will take much less time than 12 months, but we always recommend beginning treatment as early as possible. This will allow more time if you require additional aligners under the Invisalign insurance. It’s common for people to opt for teeth whitening or composite bonding after Invisalign treatment, so beginning treatment early will also allow for additional treatment after should you wish. 

Teeth Whitening:

Teeth whitening is a quick and easy cosmetic dental treatment that can be completed in just 3 weeks. Patients can expect to see significant improvement in the shade of their teeth after just one week. However, if patients have significant staining, additional intervention from a hygienist may be required. Therefore, it's recommended that patients begin teeth whitening treatment at least two months before their wedding day.

Veneers:

Veneers are an excellent option for those who want to improve the appearance of their teeth. Veneers can correct a wide range of dental imperfections, including chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. On average, it takes about two to six weeks to complete the veneer procedure, including trialling your smile. Therefore, it's recommended that patients begin veneer treatment at least six months before their wedding day.

Confidence Boost:

Cosmetic dental treatments can have a significant impact on a person's confidence and self-esteem. Feeling confident and happy with your smile on your wedding day can help you relax and enjoy the moment without worrying about how you look. A smile makeover or other cosmetic dental treatments can be a great way to boost your confidence for your big day and beyond.

Cosmetic dental treatments such as Invisalign, teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers can take different lengths of time to complete. It's essential to consult with your dentist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and timeline. Beginning your treatment at least six months to a year before your wedding day is recommended to ensure that your treatment is complete and your smile is looking its best.
