The thought of getting an instant smile fix when needed is interesting. But what if we at Archway Dental tell you that this has been turned into reality? Yes, it is now possible for people to enhance their whole smile in a snap, thanks to Snap-on Smile!
Snap-on Smile is a type of prosthesis that is molded to fit both the upper and lower teeth perfectly. Instead of being bonded on each tooth like veneers, the appliance is a full arch that can be worn over the teeth. The prosthesis is made of durable resin so patients need not worry since it is custom-made to look and feel as natural as possible. Snap-on smile is ideal for those who are not happy with their teeth imperfections but are hesitant to undergo dental treatments. Just like veneers, Snap-on Smile can hide slight misalignments, excessive gaps, uneven teeth, and stains for patients to get the smile they have always dreamed of.
