When summer hits Orlando, so do the social events, family vacations, weddings, and many photo-worthy moments. It’s no surprise that patients often start thinking more seriously about their smiles at this time of year. At John E. Russo, D.M.D. Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ve noticed a definite trend: more people are scheduling cosmetic dental treatments in summer. Whether you’re prepping for vacation selfies or a special event, this season is the perfect time to refresh your smile. Here are the top five most popular cosmetic dental treatments during the summer—and why they’re such hot picks this time of year.
Without a doubt, teeth whitening is the most requested summertime cosmetic treatment. Sun-kissed skin and bright clothes make a dazzling white smile even more noticeable. Patients often seek whitening before big summer events—think weddings, reunions, and beach trips—where pictures are guaranteed. Dr. Russo offers in-office whitening that delivers dramatic results in just one visit, making it a quick and effective way to boost your smile’s brightness.
Porcelain veneers are another go-to summer cosmetic procedure, especially for patients looking for a long-term transformation. Veneers correct multiple concerns at once (stains, chips, uneven spacing, or misalignment) and give your smile a red-carpet-ready look. Since summer schedules tend to be more flexible for many people, it’s the ideal time to complete this multi-step treatment and enjoy the benefits for years.


Quick, conservative, and budget-friendly cosmetic bonding is a summertime favorite for those wanting fast results. Bonding can repair minor chips, cracks, or discoloration in a single visit, making it perfect for patients wanting a refresh before a weekend getaway or summer party. It’s especially popular among younger patients or anyone looking for subtle touch-ups without the cost of more extensive procedures.
Summer is also a popular time to start Invisalign® treatment. With fewer school or work commitments, patients find it easier to adapt to the new routine of wearing aligners. And because Invisalign is virtually invisible, it’s great for staying confident at summer social events while working toward straighter teeth. Dr. Russo customizes every treatment plan, helping patients make noticeable progress before the holiday season.
A full smile makeover is the ultimate summertime investment for those ready to completely revamp their appearance. These comprehensive treatment plans often combine multiple services—veneers, whitening, reshaping, and more—to deliver stunning results. Many patients use their vacation time to begin or complete this transformation, taking advantage of the slower summer pace to focus on themselves and their goals.
