Why you need a brighter smile for your wedding
A picture-perfect wedding smile can boost your confidence, elevate your radiance and give your wedding photographs that extra wow factor. Who wouldn’t want the perfect wedding smile? From teeth whitening to veneers, Invisalign braces to ‘Six Month Smiles’ treatments, Shawlands Dental Care can help even the most nervous bride or groom to a brighter smile for their wedding. Take a look at some of the treatments available from this award-winning Glasgow dentist.
Oral hygeine
We all know we should be brushing our teeth twice a day and flossing once a day. This helps remove plaque and bacteria that can cause tooth decay and gum disease. It also helps keep your breath kissing-fresh! Avoid sugary drinks and snacks too as these can damage your teeth by breaking down the enamel.
Discoloured teeth
Discoloured teeth can also affect your confidence and wedding smile. Even those with great oral hygiene can suffer discolouration, especially from the tannins in coffee, tea and red wine. Good brushing or even rinsing your mouth out after drinking or chewing sugar-free gum, can reduce the risk of staining. If you need help with existing staining, you could consider professional teeth whitening.
There are several options and your dentist will be able to go through all the pros and cons of different treatments so you find the perfect one for you. The most effective treatments will be carried out at your dental practise but you can also get kits to whiten your teeth at home; just make sure you follow the instructions carefully.
A crooked smile
A crooked smile can be caused by protruding teeth, an overbite or overcrowded teeth. The good news is these can all be corrected by braces. Teeth braces have come a long way from rows of silver metal and can be ceramic (clear or tooth-coloured wires), clear, or lingual (fixed to the side of your teeth rather than across the front). The more time you have before your wedding, the more choices you have to straighten your smile so make an appointment sooner rather than later to discuss options.
Chipped teeth
If you have chipped, cracked, mis-shapen teeth or are conscious of a gap in your teeth, a composite filling could work wonders. This is a quick, minimally invasive treatment generally completed in under an hour. A perfect way to give you a confident smile on your wedding day.
