In Ladera Ranch, when the big day is close, it's time to see a dentist for teeth whitening

In this day and age, we snap pictures and delete them many times a day. However, one photo that you know will be cherished for generations, and viewed many times over, is you wedding picture. Actually, there will be many pictures, and most likely videos. You can't rely on capturing the perfect angle every time; so, you want the perfect smile. Your dentist can make that happen, and teeth whitening is a crucial part of the process.

The final step of the bridal smile makeover

If you are planning to marry, and you have multiple dental concerns, it is advisable to visit your dentist early. Veneers, orthodontics, tooth contouring, or other procedures may be recommended. However, coffee, tea, wine, berries, and many other common foods and beverages contribute to the staining of tooth enamel. Therefore, even if you've had a full smile makeover, your dentist will likely recommend whitening shortly before the big day. If all teeth are covered by veneers or crowns this is unnecessary because porcelain is stain-resistant but cleaning and polishing may be recommended.

Wedding whitening for everyone

There is something enchanting about weddings. We dream of them from childhood, and spend months planning for them. This one day, could be the most important day of two people's lives. Of course, there is a downside to assigning so much importance to a single day. It causes stress. From the wedding party to the guests to the entertainer, everyone wants to make every detail perfect – and everybody wants to look great in the wedding photos. Pre-wedding teeth whitening is no longer just a bridal treatment; it is increasing popular among all in attendance.

Protecting your brilliant smile

Your smile is dazzlingly bright, and ready to shine in those all-important photos. How can you make sure it stays that way? Remember that teeth are more susceptible to staining immediately after bleaching, so avoid dark foods and beverages for the next 24-48 hours. After that, if you consume anything potentially staining, rinse promptly with water. Additionally, drinking through a straw will decrease the liquid's contact with your teeth.
