Good Candidates for Snap-On Smile
People experiencing various dental issues, such as gaps, cracked teeth, chipped teeth, discolored or stained teeth, or missing teeth, are good candidates for Snap-On Smile. It is a viable solution for patients who may not have the time or money required to invest in a more intense tooth restoration option. Patients looking for a temporary smile makeover for a special occasion such as a wedding or birthday could also benefit from it.
Snap-On Smile works well for patients with certain health concerns, such as heart disease, which can prevent them from undergoing extensive dental work. Because of how minimally invasive it is, it is a good alternative to cosmetic dental surgery. Patients may want to try if they are not sure about which type of dental restoration treatment to choose.

Snap-On Smile Benefits
Many patients benefit from Snap-On Smile because of its lower price when compared to other types of tooth restoration options. It is also a dental solution that does not require an invasive surgical procedure to fix a patient's smile. According to a study from the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, having unsightly teeth leads to lower self-esteem. Using Snap-On Smile may help people unhappy with their appearance get a self-confidence boost.
Snap-On Smile uses a unique design to fit comfortably over a patient's current teeth. It is a cosmetic option for patients with tooth issues that cause them embarrassment. According to the American Dental Association, one in four people avoid smiling due to a condition affecting their teeth. This solution is one way to help patients feel more comfortable smiling again.

What To Expect When Receiving A Snap-On Smile
Before treatment can begin, people must have an initial examination to determine whether they are a viable candidate. If they are a good candidate, we will take an impression of the patient's teeth and color match their teeth. Then we will send the impressions to a lab where technicians will spend several days creating molds and perfecting a custom-fit appliance.
The process of creating a customized Snap-On Smile can take up to three weeks. Once completed, the patient will return for a fitting of the final piece. During this visit, we will make any necessary adjustments for an optimal fit. Once the patient is satisfied with the feel and fit, they can wear their Snap-On Smile home.

Lifestyle Changes for Long-Term Maintenance
With proper care and maintenance, a Snap-On Smile should last several years. We recommend removing the device at night and storing it in a protective case. Wearers will have to adjust their diet. They should avoid food and drinks that can stain, including beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine and food such as blueberries.
It is also best to avoid sticky, chewy foods, including ice, and biting hard objects. Although a Snap-On Smile consists of a sturdy resin, it can crack if sufficient force is applied. A Snap-On Smile wearer should clean their device after every time they remove it. Soaking the device and gently brushing it will remove debris and bacteria so that people can maintain healthy smiles.
