The short answer
The order depends on what treatments are being considered and whether restorations are present. Discuss the full plan before whitening so shade decisions make sense.
What to consider for your own care
Tell the dentist the wedding date and your priorities for photographs and daily comfort. Ask which steps require months, which might suit the weeks before, and what recovery time to leave.
When to speak with a dentist
If you have pain, swelling or an urgent tooth concern, seek care rather than waiting for the wedding timeline.
Next step
Ask Dental Works: “Should I whiten before or after smile design?” Share your symptoms, goals and any deadline so the dentist can explain suitable options and what should happen next at a Sion East consultation.
