Looking to refresh your smile before tying the knot? Bay Parkway Dental Center has created the ultimate guide to timing pre-wedding dental care. With the help of our Brooklyn cosmetic dentist, you can get exactly the treatment you need right when you need it. Whether you’re a bride, groom, or even just a guest, you’ll be ready for photos, food, and fun on the big day.
After Getting Engaged: Dental Implants
You deserve to have a full, beautiful smile to show off at the wedding. If you’re missing teeth, the most durable solution is dental implants. These tooth replacements can last a lifetime but require planning. The reason is what makes implants so great: osseointegration, a months-long process when the implant fuses to your jawbone. As the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) explains, dental implants are biocompatible—accepted by your body—creating a solid foundation for a replacement tooth.
Starting the implant process right after getting engaged provides enough time for:
- Treatment planning
- Implant surgery
- Osseointegration
- Restoration placement
- Adjustments
- Return to routine
Once these steps are completed, you’ll have a united smile once again, just in time for photos.
Months Ahead of Time: Invisalign
You can use the time before the big day to straighten your smile, all without anyone knowing. Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth. You’ll receive a new aligner every 1-2 weeks, gently moving your teeth into a new position. Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear and easy to remove for eating and cleaning.
The timeline depends on each person and their orthodontic issues. After your consultation, the cosmetic dentists at Bay Parkway Dental Center will know how long it will take to get your desired look. Many patients see results in just a few months!
A Few Weeks in Advance: Porcelain Veneers
Completely revamp your look just a few weeks before the wedding with porcelain veneers. These are thin shells that attach to the front of your teeth. You can apply veneers to as many or as few teeth as you’d like, allowing you to customize your smile. They conceal:
- Deep stains
- Chips and cracks
- Minor misalignments
- Gaps between teeth
The process usually takes just two appointments with our Brooklyn cosmetic dentist. At the first visit, we remove some enamel from your teeth and take impressions so that your veneers fit perfectly. At the second visit, we bond the veneers to your teeth. Then you’re done! It’s a small effort with a big impact.
Before the Big Day: Teeth Whitening
Have a tight schedule without a lot of free time? Teeth whitening doesn’t require planning ahead, especially not at Bay Parkway Dental Center. We use ZOOM whitening, a dental-grade gel activated by an LED light. This gel whitens teeth by several shades in a single session. Plus, the gel is applied by our experienced hands to protect your gums.
The best part? Treatment takes just one hour at our office. That makes it easy to fit into your pre-wedding schedule. Use this as some me-time right before the big event.
