Can a Waterpik replace flossing? NYC dentist Dr. Johnston reveals why you need BOTH for optimal oral health. The honest truth patients need to hear.
When Your Smile Steals the Show Last month, one of my dearest friends called me in tears. She had just received her professional engagement photos—stunning black and white images that should have been perfect for her wedding announcements. Instead, she was devastated. The white spot lesions on her front teeth, barely noticeable in person, appeared stark and prominent against the dramatic contrast of the black and white photography. "Elena," she said, "I wish we had talked about ICON treatment before this shoot. I had no idea they would show up like this in photos." This conversation broke my heart, but it also reinforced something I see regularly in my Chelsea practice: your smile deserves as much attention as your dress, your venue, and every other detail you're carefully planning. As I always tell my patients, "I transform confidence, not just smiles." When you feel radiant about your smile, that confidence radiates through every photo, every laugh, and every kiss at the altar. But here's what most brides don't realize: achieving your perfect wedding smile isn't something you can leave until the last minute. The key is understanding when to start what in your smile transformation journey.
