Wedding Timeline

Prior to your wedding day you will plan your clothing, jewelry, hair and makeup in great detail. But the first thing people will look at on your wedding day, and the first thing you will see in all of your pictures forever after, is your smile.

Who should be concerned with planning a fabulous smile for your wedding? Everyone who matters to you. The bride, groom, maid of honour, best man, parents of the bride and groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen are the primary people who should consider a smile enhancement before the wedding day.

The best cosmetic dentists in Calgary are all fairly busy, especially during wedding season, so here is a timing checklist to ensure your bridal party will all look their best:

3 months prior: Have a smile consult to determine what could be done. These consults are usually 30 to 45 minutes long, should be complimentary, or have a nominal fee.

2 months prior: Large smile makeovers should be started (usually completed in only 2 visits, about 2 weeks apart). This early date will ensure you will have lots of time for other last minute details. Your smile makeover will last 15 to 25 years! Do it sooner than later.

1 month prior: For smiles that need minor changes only, consider home or laser whitening. The best cosmetic dental practices offer both services.

1 to 7 days prior: Go for a tooth polishing. Even if it is not time for a regularly scheduled dental visit, a thorough polishing will make your teeth shine, and should cost less than $100.
