If you’re like many people, your holiday season is filled with loads of festive get-togethers and parties with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Naturally, you want to look your best, and one feature that can truly make a difference in your overall appearance is your smile, which is why this is the time of year that many people consider making over their smile with Snap On Smile®.
The holidays often provide us with many reasons to smile – and wouldn’t it be nice if when those facial muscles start turning upward, your teeth looked great? Of course it would!
When it comes to making your smile look its best, how quickly you can achieve the look you want to achieve is dependent on what you want or need to do to enhance your smile. For some, all that’s needed to enhance their smiles for the holidays (or anytime) is a laser whitening treatment, so that teeth are as bright and shiny as the spirit of the season. For others, however, more extensive cosmetic work may need to be done in order to achieve the smile of their dreams.
For individuals that have more extensive work to do on their teeth beyond simple whitening, one solution to transform teeth that is relatively quick, easy and inexpensive is a Snap On Smile®. This solution is a dental plate made from a thin resin material that is worn over existing teeth to create a dazzling, beautiful smile.
The dental plate is created after the dentist takes a mold of your mouth and then the plate is customized to fit comfortably over your teeth. The plates can be worn on the upper teeth only, the lower teeth only, or two plates can be worn on both the upper and lower teeth at the same time. Since the entire surface of the tooth structure is covered by the thin resin material, Snap On Smile® can completely transform the look of teeth no matter how bad they may look. The resin plate covers stained or discolored teeth, as well as covering chipped or cracked teeth, and even crooked or missing teeth.
One major benefit to this type of smile enhancement is that it costs less than having more extensive dental work performed, such as dental implants, bridges or veneers. Another benefit to this option is that you can transform your smile relatively quickly since all that is required is a single office visit to have the molds taken of your teeth and then a second office visit to have the plates checked for proper fit after they are manufactured. The only wait time you experience is the time it takes between your two office visits to wait for the resin plates to be manufactured.
Additionally, many people like the option which allows them to wear Snap On Smile® when they want to and then not wear it when they don’t. Since it is an easily removable plate, you can opt to only snap the plate in when you are heading out to a holiday party, are visiting with family or are giving a big presentation at work, even if you don’t feel like wearing it on an everyday basis. It provides you with the dazzling smile you desire as well as the versatility of wearing it only when and where you want.
