What Is a Bridal Smile Makeover?

A bridal smile makeover is a combination of dental treatments especially customized for someone who has smile concerns + a timeline to finish the treatment. What makes this different from a regular smile makeover is we give you customized options based on the timeline you have in mind to achieve the most natural and best result!

These treatments are usually designed and discussed with the brides in order to understand what smile concerns they want to address and how to best address them in a given timeline. It can be a combination of different things – eg: fillings, teeth whitening or long term treatments like aligners too. While planning your bridal look, don’t forget your smile — start your journey with the experts at dentist in Mumbai Andheri for a personalized bridal smile makeover

Why Should Brides Visit a Dentist Before Their Wedding?

Popular Dental Treatments for Bridal Smile Makeover

It’s very important to have a Dental check before your wedding day as a part of your TO DO LIST, because dental emergencies are notorious for coming up when least expected.
Your dentist can thoroughly examine your teeth and advise what are some necessary treatments – cleaning and polishing, and also suggest some cosmetic treatments to enhance your smile- teeth whitening or veneers etc.
Even a small procedure like cleaning and polishing can go a long way in giving you the confidence you need before your big day.
At plexus dental studio we recommend our patients to visit us with a few months in hand to make sure we can help them with good long term solutions rather than doing quick fixes in emergency appointments.

How to Choose the Right Dentist for Your Bridal Smile Makeover?

If you are planning a Bridal smile makeover, it is very important to make sure you are choosing the right dentist who understands you and delivers what you have in mind. With cosmetic dentistry, a good experienced dentist in smile makeovers is a safe bet. Check with your dentist regarding how they have performed different smile makeover treatments and whether they give customized plans, instead of performing the same type of treatments for all patients.
It is a good idea to check real patient photos where you can see the before and after results.


Our smile experts at plexus dental studio, Dr. Esha is a gold medalist and the best dentist for bridal smile makeover. With our team of smile specialists, we work together with our patients to give them all the possible information regarding the treatment plan, show them different cases, and also do a Smile trial which is very important to help you visualize your future smile. With digital treatments and photographs, we help our patients understand the procedure thoroughly before beginning any treatments. 

What Brides Should Avoid Right Before the Wedding?

Today’s social media is booming with DIY hacks like bleaching with lemon + baking soda or colour correcting serum toothpastes etc. However, our Expert Dr. Rudri would recommend not falling for such tricks. Some people can get tempted to try out some quick fixes before their big day. This would be a big no because it can lead to more problems than you might have. Some DIY hacks can leave your teeth more sensitive or painful.
These hacks are unsafe and therefore, it’s best to visit your dentist even if it’s just for one visit- for something as simple as a clean up and polishing.
