An Affordable New Smile

By Andrew M. Sklar, DDS

Most dentists can help you have a beautiful smile. Dentists today are trained to do a wide variety of cosmetic enhancements from crowns, veneers, bridgework, partials, and implants to beautiful cosmetic fillings. All these procedures can be costly running from $1,000 to $1,500 per tooth and up. Fixing your eight upper teeth in the cosmetic zone (visible when you smile) could easily cost $10,000 to $15,000.

But what can be done for the patient who has a cosmetic dental concern and a limited budget? Can he or she get a beautiful smile? The answer is yes, with a new product called Snap-on Smile.

This is a new procedure that can give you a picture perfect smile at a fraction of the cost. It is not invasive, and requires no surgery or drilling your teeth. It's painless no injections. And, it is much less time consuming than other cosmetic treatments. With Snap-on Smile, you are in and out of the dental chair in about a half an hour, with another half hour follow up appointment three weeks later to make sure they fit properly.

The customized Snap-on Smile device simply “snaps” on over your own teeth, instantly changing your smile. You can fill in missing teeth and cover chipped, discolored or stained teeth.

You can instantly change worn out teeth that make you look older than your real age. Or, if you are considering doing more expensive and permanent cosmetic procedures to fix your smile, Snap-on Smile is a way to preview the end results and live with it for a while before actually committing to the treatment.

Plus, Snap-on Smile can be an affordable, quick solution for a special occasion such as a wedding when time and money may be limited, but a beautiful smile is essential.

A new smile can improve your self-esteem and boost your confidence or simply make you happier. And it doesn't have to cost a fortune. Ask your dentist about having a Snap-on Smile custom made for you.
