As the wedding season is in full bloom in Alpharetta, GA, so should your SMILE!
Let Don Harvey Dental help you create the smile of a lifetime for your BIG day!
Some people are planners, and others just go with the flow. Some spend all winter in the gym, and others try and lose ten pounds right before beach season. Some have every detail of their wedding day planned out months in advance, and others… don’t.
In the end it doesn’t matter which kind of person you are, you will want to look and feel your best for your wedding day. And that includes sporting a bright, youthful, healthy-looking smile. Depending how much time you have beforehand, there’s a range of dental treatments that can help you look and feel great — not just your big day, but EVERY DAY! Here’s a rundown of what you can do in the time remaining before your big day.
Time Left: Up to two years. If you’ve planned this far in advance, Congratulations! You probably have time for almost any needed dental treatment — including orthodontics, which can straighten misaligned teeth and correct a bad bite. But even if you don’t have quite so much time, don’t despair: Don Harvey Dental is a Preferred Invisalign Provider that offers invisible braces, clear aligners that are worn without wires and metal. Allowing you the opportunity to remove the trays for special dates!
Time Left: Six months to one year. Many dental treatments, like periodontal plastic surgery or tooth implants, can achieve remarkable results in this time. Periodontal surgery can give you a less “gummy” smile and greatly improve the aesthetics of your teeth. Tooth implants are modern dentistry’s best option for replacing missing teeth. Natural-looking implants have a success rate of 95%, and can last a lifetime. Don Harvey Dental uses the highest quality of dental porcelain to achieve a beautiful natural appearance of your new crown.
Time left: Three or four months. There’s plenty you can do! If the roots are intact, a crown can be placed on a damaged tooth to restore its appearance and function. Or, missing teeth can be replaced with a dental bridge, which supports a false tooth from abutments on either side. Stained or discolored teeth can also be dramatically lightened with veneers, where a porcelain shell replaces the tooth’s outermost layer of enamel. Tooth implants are still a possibility, under the right circumstances. We can evaluate your individual situation and come up with the best option to replace missing teeth.
Time left: Six weeks or so. You still have time for some basic, yet effective, treatments. Small chips or discolored fillings can be restored with tooth-colored materials that securely bond to the teeth themselves. You can also brighten your teeth by several shades using the techniques of whitening. In-office whitening treatments are the fastest, but take-home kits, used under our supervision, offer similar results in a longer time.
Have even less time? At the very least, come in for a thorough cleaning right before the date! This will help remove many surface stains and freshen up your smile. Be sure to call in advance so that you’re able to get an appointment. Then, smile for the camera!
