Let’s be honest, planning a wedding makes brides temporarily insane. Ask any groom. The invitations, the gown, the catering and all of the other million and one details. Having perfect wedding pictures is very important. In fact, the pictures and videos will probably outlast every other aspect of the wedding. In years to come, the kids will love looking at the album. It’s a memory that can’t be replaced.
Many brides (and grooms) have added visits to the dentist to the to-do list. They want to have a ‘movie star’ perfect smile on that very special day. Unlike the bouquet, the smile will last longer than the ceremony. The preliminary visit to a Dentist in Allentown should be scheduled early enough so that work can be completed in time. After an examination to determine the specific work needed, the visits can be scheduled.
If a smile makeover is needed, it’s important to start early. Bonding and veneers can be used to cover up problems such as cracked or chipped teeth. Bonding is quicker and cheaper, but will not last as long as veneers. They are both durable materials applied by the dentist onto the surface of the tooth so that they blend with the other teeth. The bonding material is a mixture of quartz and resin which will be affected by a highly acidic pH in the mouth. Drinking a lot of soda, eating lemons or sucking hard candies can create that acidic pH. Someone who knows that they grind their teeth at night would do better with veneers.
Veneers are made from porcelain and are much harder and are more technically difficult to do correctly. They have significant advantages when compared to bonding, as in addition to lasting much longer and being stronger, veneers can close small gaps between teeth. If a tooth is stained badly and does not respond well to tooth whitening procedures, veneers are the perfect answer and can help ensure that every wedding is picture perfect.
