Who would order a yellow snap on smile?

I can’t believe I was having this ridiculous conversation with a dentist. She is not my regular dentist because my dentist doesn’t do snap on smile. Maybe I see why now. I got the thing and it fits right but it’s yellow. Who in the world would order a yellow snap on smile? She says it’s the color I approved. Also I cannot believe the lab would not question the color. I am disgusted and disappointed. Now what? Ally

Ally – Your concern is understandable. No one who wants to seriously improve his or her smile would ask for yellow teeth. You can respectfully speak with your dentist again about your disappointment, and ask what can be done to resolve it.

A Snap-On Smile is a colorfast appliance that fits over your natural teeth. Although the color of the appliance cannot be changed, it can be remade in the color of your choice.

We strongly encourage patients to ensure they have good and clear communication with a cosmetic dentist before receiving any treatment. Ask for a visual example of what you will receive. If you receive a restoration that was not what you wanted, immediately make it known to the dentist.

How will a snap on smile look in my wedding pictures?

I don’t have time or money for braces. I need to use my money for my wedding in Sept. of this year. I am looking at my options for getting my teeth to look better. How will a snap on smile look for my wedding pictures? Thanks. Kayla

Kayla – Depending on what is detracting from your smile, a Snap-On Smile may be able to enhance it. It will conceal teeth that are missing, misshaped, discolored, or have gaps.

An examination of your teeth will determine the best and quickest options for transforming your smile. For a Snap-On Smile, impressions of your teeth are taken to make a customized appliance. In about three weeks, it will be ready for you to try on. Your dentist will make any needed adjustments to ensure that it fits well. The smile makeover fits over your natural teeth. Depending on the size and shape of your natural teeth, the appliance may make your teeth look bulky.

Many people use the Snap-On Smile for special occasions, or while waiting for permanent restorations for their teeth. It will take just a couple of weeks to get used to speaking with it. If you decide to get the appliance for your wedding, you may benefit by receiving it three weeks to a month before your wedding. This will give you time to get used to wearing it.

You can eat and drink most foods while wearing the Snap-On Smile, but avoid sticky foods, and avoid chewing gum while wearing it. If the appliance is not worn every day, and if you take care of it, it will last several years.

There are other alternatives that may improve the appearance of your smile. Teeth whitening can be used to brighten your smile. Cosmetic bonding can be mixed to match the color of your teeth, reshape them, and improve the alignment.

Change the color of my snap on smile?

Change the color of my snap on smile?

Hi. I got a snap-on smile about 2 years ago. I am used to it now and I don’t like the color. There is a little bit of life still left in the smile because I don’t wear it every day. I asked my dentist about changing the color and she said that it’s too late now. I would have to get a new snap-on smile, so it’s best to wait until this one wears out and if I want another one, we can adjust the color. Is it true that I can’t get the color changed now? – Carlee

Carlee – Your dentist is correct. There are many shades of color to choose from for the Snap-On Smile, but the color decision must be made before the final product is made.

If you want a new Snap-On Smile the color change can be made them. If you are inclined to continue purchasing the appliance, you may want to consider consulting with a cosmetic dentist to learn about longer-lasting treatment to restore your smile. You can learn about your options and how the treatment can be made affordable for you.

Can you do monthly payments on snap on smile?

I’m 16 and I am trying to be a model, but my teeth are my biggest problem. I want a snap on smile but I don’t have the money to pay for them up front. Can you pay for snap on smile in monthly payments? – Tamera

Tamera – Whether or not you can receive a Snap-On Smile and use a payment plan for it depends on the dentist you visit, and whether or not you qualify for a payment plan. Many dentists offer payment plans to qualifying applicants. Payment plans may be available for services over a specific dollar amount. Check with your dentist, or the dentist of your choice, to learn whether or not payment plans are available for a Snap-On Smile.

You may have already done research on the Snap-On Smile, but below is some information you might consider:

  • The Snap-On Smile is a temporary smile makeover.
  • You will be able to choose the shape and shade of your smile.
  • If you wear it only on special occasions, it can last several years, but if you wear it every day, it will only last a few months.
  • It fits over your teeth, so it can make them look bulky.
  • A dentist needs to determine if it is right for your case.

Although you want a solution to conceal your teeth while you model, also consider permanent solutions for the future. A Snap-On Smile will eventually wear out, and you will need another one. Ask your dentist about the options for restoring your smile so you can plan and save for a restoration that will last.
