Say 'I do' to your dream smile: the ultimate guide to wedding smile makeovers

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days in your life. Every detail, from finding the perfect wedding dress to booking the entertainment, sourcing the groomsmen’s suits to the tablescaping meticulously planned with laser like precision. However, there is only one thing left to worry about, how will you manage a picture-perfect smile?

In spite of the specialist bridal makeup, expensive wedding dress or suit, your smile is the most beautiful accessory you’ll wear on your wedding day. But if you don’t feel comfortable with how your teeth look, they can be a source of stress. Your wedding photos will show your happiness for a lifetime. In the past, wedding photos were taken by a designated photographer, so you could anticipate and prepare for posed shots. However, high-quality cameras on smartphones means there is often no advance notice when someone is taking a photo – which is great for having more pictures, but less so if you are already anxious about your smile.

If you are worried about your teeth and smile on your wedding day, relax. Duxton Dental offer brides and grooms tailored wedding smile makeovers, so you can feel calm, radiant, and confident on your special day. As one of the leading Christchurch Dental practices, we pride ourselves on providing unparalleled dental care and personalised dental services to ensure you look and feel your best.

Memorable photos: wedding photos are cherished for years to come, and a radiant smile will ensure you look your best in every shot.

Wedding dental treatments: dental services tailored to you

At Duxton Dental, we offer a wide range of dental services to address all your oral health and aesthetic needs. From appointments with the dental hygienist and check-ups to advanced cosmetic dental procedures, our experienced team of Christchurch dentists is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality dental care. Whether you're looking for a quick touch-up or a complete smile makeover, our team will work closely with you to create a personalised dental treatment plan to achieve the best smile results.



Here are the most popular dental services brides and grooms take advantage of:

1.    Dental check-up and cleaning: regular dental check-ups and cleaning are essential to maintain optimal oral health and preventing dental issues. The last thing you want on your wedding day is tooth ache or bad breath!

2.    Teeth whitening: professional teeth whitening in Christchurch is an easy yet high-impact beauty hack. White teeth give you a more youthful, vibrant, and refreshed look by improving the appearance of your skin and making the colour of your eyes pop.

3.    Invisalign treatment: if you have misaligned crooked teeth, an overbite, underbite, or even a gappy smile, Invisalign clear aligners can transform your smile and straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably. These invisible braces have revolutionised having braces as an adult.

4.    ABB treatment: Duxton Dental’s align, bleach and bond package is a minimally invasive 3-step dental treatment alternative to veneers. In as little as 12 weeks, you can have the perfect smile:

·        Align: straightening the teeth through the use of Invisalign braces.

·        Bleach: professional teeth whitening up to 12 shades lighter.

·        Bond: composite material to fix chipped, cracked or broken teeth.

5.    Veneers: porcelain veneers are a quick and effective solution to stained, chipped, misshapen, or crooked teeth. They are also a fantastic solution for gappy teeth where orthodontic braces are not suitable.

6.    Dental implants: if you have a missing tooth or teeth, dental implants offer a long-term robust solution.

7.    Botox treatment: our Christchurch Botox treatment is popular to fix a gummy smile by relaxing the jaw muscles. It’s also highly effective in softening forehead lines, wrinkles, and crows’ feet. 

Have I got time to fix my teeth before my wedding?

If you're considering cosmetic dental treatment before your wedding, the ideal is to start planning early in the process. Depending on the current condition of your teeth, some dental procedures could take up to a year to achieve the desired results – we won’t know until we assess you as every mouth is unique.

The first step is to schedule an appointment at our Riccarton dental clinic as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Your initial visit is comprehensive, involving various diagnostic tests such as a jaw scan (OPG), digital x-rays, photos, diagnostic lasers, oral cancer screening, and a saliva test. We prioritise your long-term oral and dental health, ensuring that any treatments we recommend are both appropriate and safe. After assessing your dental health, we'll work with you to develop a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The good news is many of Duxton Dental’s orthodontic and restorative cosmetic dental treatments can be provided swiftly, depending on appointment availability and, of course, when the big day is.
