June, the most popular month for weddings, is just weeks away. Whether you are a soon-to-be spouse, family member, or wedding guest, you can be certain that there will be plenty of photographers on hand at each event. In fact, a survey of professional wedding photographers reveals that you can expect to have your picture taken hundreds of times—and that’s not including the inevitable smartphone pics. Astoria, NY cosmetic dentist Dr. Jeffrey Leibowitz assures you that you needn’t worry whether your smile is wedding-worthy. Cosmetic dentistry can address a number of concerns.
Perfect White Dress, Perfect White Teeth
Teeth whitening is the single most popular cosmetic dentistry treatment in the United States, and it’s easy to see why. Few things brighten a smile and inspire confidence like a gleaming white smile. Over-the-counter whitening systems are hit and miss, as most take a one-size-fits-all approach with bleaching trays that don’t always fit over your teeth properly. Whitening strips treat only your front teeth, and results aren’t always consistent, especially if your teeth are not perfectly straight. Dr. Leibowitz provides custom-fitted whitening trays as part of his at-home whitening kit for a better, more comfortable fit. The average treatment time is less than two weeks, so there’s still time to whiten before wedding season is in full swing.
Veneers for a Photo-worthy Smile
If stains are only one of several imperfections affecting your smile, you may be a candidate for porcelain veneers. Veneers, popular among celebrities and other famous faces, photograph beautifully and last for several years. In only two visits, you can eliminate gaps between your teeth, slight crookedness, stains, chips, and cracks. Our patients love that porcelain veneers can be created in nearly any shade, which allows Dr. Leibowitz to match your natural tooth color or go a few shades lighter. Porcelain is stain-resistant, too.
Say “I Do” to Invisible Braces
Teeth that are crooked or crowded are more difficult to clean, and many people feel self-conscious when smiling. If you’re planning a wedding for next year, or if you just want straighter teeth, Dr. Leibowitz may recommend ClearCorrect invisible braces. Metal braces certainly aren’t subtle, and many people would prefer to wait until their braces are removed to schedule their special day—even though treatment time with traditional braces lasts up to two years. When you opt for ClearCorrect, the plastic aligners snap over teeth, where they are virtually invisible. Mike Tindall, a famous British rugby player, actually wore his clear aligners on his wedding day to the Queen of England’s granddaughter!
