Smile Bright for the Wedding Paparazzi

Your wedding day will be one of the most photographed days of your entire life.

No seriously, not only will your pro photographer and video team be documenting your every move, but so will every guest in attendance and admit it, there’s probably going to be more than a selfie or two happening as well.

Making your smile as bright as your love and enhancing your wedding day “glow” are specialties of our sponsors Canatella Dental.

If you’ve ever wondered what cosmetic procedures are possible or just what they involve, read on to learn more!

Who doesn’t want a bright, white smile for their wedding photos? KöR Teeth Whitening is an option if you want perfectly white teeth for the great big smile that you’ll be wearing your entire wedding day. More powerful than at-home teeth whitening options, KöR Whitening not only creates more dramatic results, it’s also faster. Imagine having a dramatically brighter smile in just one hour!

If you’re facing other dental challenges, such as worn enamel, chips or cracks that make you want to improve your smile, Porcelain Veneers may be the perfect solution for you. Canatella offers complimentary consultations in their Lakeview office to help patients determine if veneers are the best option for them. The actual process is easy, quick and usually completed in just two brief office visits. In as little as a few minutes per tooth, patients have a brand new smile!

For the bride who would like a subtle pout (Hello!  Who’d like extra kissable lips at the altar?!), Juvéderm increases fullness and lessens the appearance of wrinkles around your cheeks and lips, restoring your youthful glow.

A bride favorite and Canatella’s most requested procedure, is BOTOX Cosmetic. You probably have heard of BOTOX Cosmetic for it’s ability to smooth fine lines on your forehead and around your eyes, but did you know the whole procedure takes only about 10 minutes and the results are almost instant? Also since results usually last for a few months, BOTOX Cosmetic is great for looking fresh and well rested for not only your wedding day, but for all the events leading up to it.

Now, just how far in advance should you plan these procedures? Depending on the procedure, you will want to schedule your appointments anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months ahead of your wedding day.

BOTOX Cosmetic should be placed 2-3 weeks prior to your wedding as should Juvéderm Ultra or Ultra Plus. This timeframe, shares Canatella, allows for any additional enhancements needed prior to the big day.

KöR Whitening, Canatella suggests, should be done at least 2 weeks prior to the wedding, but can be done months in advance so that you have a gorgeous, bright smile from the engagement party all the way through the honeymoon.

If you’re considering Veneers, these can be completed in as little as 4-6 weeks, but it’s always best to get started as early as possible. At Canatella’s complimentary consultation, they’ll discuss all the options they have for you. If you decide Veneers are the right option for you, with just a few photographs and impressions they can have a wax model made for you in no time. This helps to ensure the best results and allows you to visualize exactly what your dream smile will look like before you even start treatment.

Canatella Dental offers all of these procedures and more in their Lakeview office and help not only brides and grooms, but bridal parties and mothers of the occasion to look their best.  Canatella treats their patients with comprehensive care and looks to improve not only their smile but their overall health.
