Get a Dazzling Smile: Teeth Whitening Tips for Your Big Day

When you want to be able to turn on the style and love every moment of the biggest day of your life, there’s nothing that beats having a smile that glows. You can light up a room, bring out your natural beauty, and shine brighter than you ever could have imagined. The only problem is figuring out a way to do it that gets results without breaking the bank and skewing your wedding budget. 

To make sure you have everything you need to know in one place, we’ve spoken to a few experts in the world of dentistry and aesthetics. Keep reading to hear what they have to say and their wise words will guide you through all of those small steps you need to take as the big day approaches. Enjoy! 

Teeth require professional treatment 

While there may be a whole host of DIY approaches out there, nothing is more important than caring for your teeth with help from a skilled professional. Dentists and hygienists will wax lyrical about their services, not because they want to sell to you, but because they deliver life-changing results. 

The last thing you want to have to deal with is toothache or discolouration from a substandard whitening treatment on the day you’re going to tie the knot. Just as you are no doubt hiring the services of a professional for your hair and makeup, you can do exactly the same when it comes to your smile.

Dentists only use recommended products 

Ask any dentist what they use to provide whitening and they will be more than happy to guide you through the fine details. They are professionals who care about the efficacy and safety of their work, and they will always have someone on hand to answer any questions prior to the treatment. Exactly what you want to hear when you’re looking to create the perfect smile in no time at all. 

Dentists who want to be able to grow their practices by offering trusted aesthetic treatments will only ever offer white dental beauty products and services from a trusted supplier. Their supplier needs to have national reach, a glowing reputation, and experience right across every aspect of the industry. In fact, dentists and dental practice managers will often highlight the name and reputation of the products they use as a way of building trust with you. But what else would a dentist recommend?

Dentists recommend whitening toothpaste

Every dentist will have a make and brand of toothpaste that they like to recommend based on many years of experience. Whitening toothpaste is readily available from all major brands and contains elevated levels of peroxide to remove and combat discolouration. If you’re a bride-to-be, you may well find that you can pick some up from your local dental practice when you go in to discuss their range of treatments. If you work in the dental industry and want to expand your business, you could consider stocking these types of products.

Many dentists will also recommend stopping smoking and cutting out acidic foods from the daily diet to help protect tooth enamel. Many brides may find these are stressful changes to make in the build-up to the big day, but the other health benefits that come with it could really be worth it. Speaking of change; what else would be useful for brides and dentists to be aware of at this point?

A few more bright ideas 

Brides want to know that they will look and feel their very best on their wedding day, while dentists want to know that they are making a difference. The natural point to draw from this is that many dental practices can lend a helping hand — while also expanding their businesses — by offering teeth whitening as a service. 

In an age where social media seems to be full of cut-price aesthetic treatments in countries like Turkey, there’s a lot to be said for being a trusted local provider. A dental practice with an engaging social media presence will be able to educate people in the local area, ensuring a steady stream of new business. A good example of this would be an offer at the start of the spring and summer wedding season for the bride and her bridesmaids. 

Dental practice managers will need to find a trusted supplier so that they can provide the patients with the peace of mind that really matters. By advertising on social media, they will be able to reach women who are still months away from their scheduled check-ups. And because the supplier they choose will be reliable and trustworthy, they’ll be able to highlight the lasting quality of the results. 

Trust is the name of the game in the wedding industry, the dental industry, and in life as a whole.
