CONSULTATION

 

First things first. Go see a dentist! Depending on what you want to achieve- cosmetic or health, always seek advice from the professionals. Leave enough time for the dentist to tailor an appropriate bespoke treatment plan to you so it’s not a last minute rush! 

 

 

 

 

CLEANING 

 

To remove staining from tea, coffee and or red wine! A hygienist appointment will freshen the mouth and also advice you on home care.

 

WHITEN

 

Do not leave whitening your teeth until the last minute. This procedure needs careful planning and time to achieve desired results so it is important not to try cram it in. It takes approximately two weeks to lighten your teeth and the procedure can make the teeth a little sensitive, therefore it is not wise to try attempt this the night before! Please seek professional advice on how to have teeth bleached with at home bleaching kits or in-house treatments

 

STRAIGHTEN 

 

Many people these days wish for that ‘ smile’. Straight teeth can be achieved with several different orthodontic methods eg six month smile or invisalign (invisible braces). If you wish to alleviate any crooked teeth or produce a more uniform smile, seek advice from your local dentist. Be aware teeth straightening can take over a year to achieve so ensure you have enough time in your wedding prep schedule!
