If you have lost one or more teeth at young age or your teeth have become severely decayed, there are many options available to replace them.
Dental implants, dental bridges, dentures and crowns can fill in the spaces left by lost teeth.
But any of these treatments can take your considerable time, may be weeks or even months, unless you go for same day implants.
Today, a new form of aesthetic dentistry is available to give you instant smile makeover.
This new technique is called the Snap-On Smile.
Overview Snap-On Smile is a totally non-invasive cosmetic, removable, custom-made full or partial arch of perfectly aligned teeth that easily and painlessly snaps over your existing dentition.
It's completely tooth-borne, so no shots, no drilling and no adhesives are required.
Unlike the dental implants that are placed below the gums in your jawbone, these custom-made set of teeth simply slide over the top of your existing teeth, giving you a perfect Hollywood-like smile very quickly.
You can eat, drink, and function normally while wearing the appliance all day long.
You get Snap-On Smile in just two simple dental trips.
In the first visit, the dentist will determine whether you are a suitable candidate, and if you are, he/she will take an impression of your existing teeth, next you pick the style and shade of your teeth and the impression is sent to a lab for arch fabrication.
You come back in about three weeks for a final fitting and after a few minor adjustments you pop it and wear it home.
Candidate Snap-On Smile is a cosmetic dental solution for people of all ages.
People with crooked, stained or missing teeth can take advantage of Snap-On Smile.
It is an excellent choice for anyone who is not a candidate for bridges or implants.
People who wish to enhance their smile without discomfort of complex and invasive dental procedures can benefit from it.
This dental appliance could be a perfect solution for immensely busy people who simply can't wait for months to have prosthetic teeth and want immediate gratification.
People who have long been avoiding the dentist due to anxiety and fear of drilling can opt for this non-invasive option.
Patients with financial constraints who cannot afford thousands of dollars to get a smile makeover can have Snap-On Smile without upsetting their budget.
