Having a confident and beautiful smile can leave a lasting impression. Snap-On Smile® offers an affordable and non-invasive way for people to achieve a smile makeover. This innovative dental appliance fits comfortably over your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance without undergoing extensive cosmetic procedures.
Snap-On Smile, sometimes known as snap-on veneers, is a custom-made, removable dental arch. This appliance works similarly to removable dentures or clear aligners that cover the cosmetic issues of a person's teeth. Common cosmetic issues that Snap-On Smile can address include:
As the name suggests, the device can be placed over the patient's teeth and snap into place. Unlike porcelain veneers, the patient can remove them during sleep, athletic activities, and daily oral hygiene. It also does not require the dentist to modify the patient's teeth, making it an ideal option for those who may want veneers but are unsure about making permanent modifications to their teeth.
Unlike traditional veneers or crowns, Snap-On Smile does not require drilling, anesthesia, or altering the patient's natural teeth. This makes it an excellent option for those hesitant about undergoing extensive dental procedures. It also provides a pre-treatment solution for patients who may want veneers in the future but do not want to commit to permanently altering their teeth until they know they will like the results.
Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments, Snap-On Smile is relatively affordable. Patients can choose between full or partial arches, which makes the cost flexible and budget-conscious. It offers an effective way for patients to achieve a smile makeover without breaking the bank.
Once the dentist fits the device to the patient's smile, Snap-On Smile delivers instant cosmetic improvement. There is no extensive healing process or multiple treatment sessions. This makes it a convenient choice for people looking to improve their smile in a short amount of time.
Unlike dental veneers, Snap-On Smile offers the convenience of being removable. Patients can remove the appliance for cleaning, eating, and sleeping. This accessibility allows patients to maintain a healthy, natural smile, whether they wear it daily or only during special occasions.
During the initial consultation, the dentist and patient will discuss their smile makeover treatment goals. They will then evaluate and take impressions of the patient's teeth and dental structure. This ensures that the device will properly and comfortably fit.
The impressions are sent to an off-site laboratory to make a custom-designed Snap-On Smile. This casting often consists of composite resin. The process typically takes two to three weeks. Once the appliance is ready, the patient will return to the dental office, where the dentist will ensure that the device aligns perfectly with the patient's teeth. If not, they may need to make adjustments to the casting.
