Teeth Whitening Before Your Wedding — Everything You Need to Know
Getting married in Christchurch? Find out when to book, what to expect, and how our group discounts work for bridal parties. Everything you need to know.
When Should You Book?
The ideal window is 3–6 weeks before your wedding day.
Why that timing? It gives your results time to settle and look their most natural for photos, allows a top-up if you want to go even whiter, and if you’re adding custom trays, leaves time for them to be made and used in the lead-up. Any rare temporary sensitivity will also be long resolved.
Avoid booking the day before or morning of your wedding — not because anything will go wrong, but you’ll have enough on your mind!
What Results Can You Expect?
With our laser whitening treatment, most clients see around 10–14 shades of improvement in a single session of approximately 65 minutes, measured on the shade guide. For brides wanting the maximum result, we recommend laser whitening 3-4 weeks before the wedding, followed by daily custom tray use in the lead-up to boost and perfect your shade.
What About the Bridal Party?
Group bookings are our favourite. Getting your bridesmaids (or groomsmen, or both) whitened together is a fun pre-wedding activity — and everyone looks better in the photos for it.
Our wedding & group whitening offer:
- 2-3 people: $40 off laser whitening — $260 down to $220 per person, using code WEDDING40
- 4+ people: $65 off laser whitening — $260 down to $195 per person, using code WEDDING65
The discount applies to the laser whitening portion of the treatment only. If you’d like custom trays as well, they’re the usual $170 add-on alongside a laser treatment. Every booking in the group needs to be made within the same 6-week period with deposits paid, and the offer can’t be combined with any other offer. Enter your code when booking online, or get in touch and we’ll help you sort it.
Appointments are one-to-one, so everyone receives the same personal attention. If you’re booking with someone else, we can arrange appointments one after the other.
Laser vs Trays: Which Is Right Before a Wedding?
Laser whitening ($260): Professional whitening in a single appointment, with results you can see before you leave. More about laser whitening.
Laser + custom trays combo ($430): For maximum results. Laser 3-4 weeks out, then daily tray use in the lead-up. It’s the combination we recommend most often.
Custom trays only ($285): Good if your wedding is several weeks away and you prefer gradual at-home whitening. Results develop over 1-2 weeks.
Aftercare to Know
For 24 hours after treatment, avoid tea, coffee, red wine, cola, dark foods, tobacco, and coloured toothpaste or mouthwash. After that, you’re back to normal.
FAQ
Will it hurt?
Most clients experience little or no sensitivity, although some may notice temporary sensitivity during or after treatment. We take precautions to minimise discomfort, and it usually settles within a day. Using Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief in the lead-up to your appointment will help control any possible sensitivity.
How long does the laser treatment take?
About 65 minutes, start to finish.
Can we book as a group on different days?
Yes. Appointments can be consecutive or on separate days. For the discount to apply, every booking in the group needs to be made within the same 6-week period with deposits paid. Group members can also choose different treatments — the discount comes off the laser whitening portion of each one.
