How far ahead of my event should I come in?+
There’s no fixed rule, but sooner gives you more room. Tell the clinic your date, and ask what timing would suit, particularly if you have not had an exam in some time.
Will a cleaning make my teeth look noticeably brighter for photos?+
A polish can address surface stain, but it can’t change your natural tooth colour, and no particular result can be promised. If colour is your main interest, ask about it during the check-up.
Could the exam find something I don’t have time to fix?+
It could, which is one good argument for early booking. You can ask whether a finding needs prompt care or can reasonably wait until after your date.
Can a chipped edge be looked at during the same visit?+
Yes, mention it. The dentist can assess the chip as part of your exam and explain whether something should be done, even if it causes no pain.
Will my gums be sore on the big day?+
It depends on your gums and how the cleaning goes. Tender tissue and heavy buildup can add to sensitivity, so talk to your hygienist about timing if this concerns you.
