What is a Snap-On Smile? 

A Snap-On Smile (also referred to as Snap-On Veneers) is a removable cosmetic dental appliance that is custom made for you to "snap" over your existing teeth. Think of it similar to contact lenses, only for your teeth. It is a fast and affordable way to get a straight, white smile with no drilling, injections or permanent modifications to the teeth. As the name implies, it is a set of teeth that is made from dental resin, designed around your existing natural teeth and it simply "snaps on" over them to provide you with a new smile instantly without the time, financial investment and preparation required for other cosmetic dental procedures. The material is thin and durable enough that you can eat and drink with it in place and secure enough for you to smile and speak confidently without fear of it coming out.

What problems does Snap-On Smile fix? 

Snap on smile is a temporary cosmetic solution. It is not for everyone, nor a magic bullet, however it does have a useful place in dentistry. Being completely reversible, removable and not requiring any tooth modification, it does not technically "fix" anything rather it improves esthetics. When used, a Snap-On Smile will give the cosmetic appearance of having straight, white teeth. They can be made for upper, lower or both arches of teeth. It is highly desirable as a quick and cost effective way to cover things such as gaps, missing teeth, stained teeth and cracked or worn teeth without any of the un-desirable aspects associated with dental visits - (C'mon, we're not that scary, are we?).

What are they used for? 

They are a fantastic solution for quite a number of "life" applications. Let's say you have a wedding coming up, or school reunion, and don't have time or finances for traditional cosmetic work but want to look your absolute best. How about a big job interview, but you feel like your smile may hinder your performance. Some people may have bad teeth but also a tremendous fear of the dentist that prevents them from being able to do anything about it - here's your chance. A medical condition could be preventing you from getting implants or you just had implants placed and you're waiting for them to heal but you want a smile now. The list goes on and on, but lastly, you may just not like your smile and want to do something about it. If you want a better smile without the time, financial investment or invasive procedures involved with a dental rejuvenation, then a Snap-On Smile may just be the perfect solution for you. 

How much will it cost?

For slightly more than the expense of a single crown or veneer, a snap on smile can be had that will cosmetically address an entire arch of your mouth in one appliance.  The main advantage a snap on smile has hands down is affordability when compared to a traditional cosmetic treatment of the same nature.

It comes with a 1 yr warranty from the manufacturer against defects (note - the warranty and its details are set and honored by the manufacturer, NOT Old Hook Dental) and a 3 year no fault extended warranty may be purchased from them as well. 

How long will it take for me to have my new Snap-On Smile? 

Once your case is sent to the Snap-On lab (same lab that manufactures Lumineers) along with a prescription and instructions, it will return in roughly Two-Three weeks for you to begin enjoying your new smile.
