The Snap-On Smile offers an ideal solution to a wide range of short-term and long-term dental problems. It is a non-invasive, patented device that can be used as both a restorative device and a diagnostic tool. It requires no drilling, Novocain shots, or adhesive bonding to apply, and it can be applied in as little as one half hour.
There are a number of applications for which the Snap on Smile has proven itself a superior cost effective solution.
It can be used to raise the vertical dimension of facial height.
Over long periods of time, attrition and Bruxism will diminish teeth surfaces. This, in turn, will cause facial muscles to droop. Snap-On Smile will increase facial height to its proper position by restoring the proper surface area of teeth. This has the secondary, cosmetic benefit as well of a more natural-looking and pleasing smile. It is possible for some people to even sleep with the device to prevent further Bruxism and attrition during the night.
It can be used as a cosmetic removable partial denture.
People who lose teeth suffer from two cosmetic problems. One problem is the gap(s) in the teeth themselves. The other problem is the appearance of surrounding teeth that may still be functional, but which show signs of obvious damage. With the application of a Snap-On Smile cosmetic partial denture, both problems can be solved at once. The missing teeth are replaced, and the appearance of surrounding teeth is approved.
The Snap-On upper partial cosmetic denture is available at the Medical Center Dental Group in both quadrant size and full arch size. Patient feedback consistently indicates that this is the most comfortable of all partial appliances we have provided to date, primarily because it fits only over the teeth and does not cover the palate. It is ideal for patients who have a strong gag reflex and for those who for whatever reason are not candidates for implants.
The Snap-On Smile has consistently generated the very best results in temporary restoration for patients who are in the process of receiving implants.
One of the strongest advantages this device offers over others is its unobtrusive nature. It will not impinge on gingival tissue, and, as we have previously noted, it does not come in contact with the palate. The device is 100 percent tooth-retained. This puts much less pressure on the mouth in general, providing an optimal environment for implants to heal.
In some surgical procedures, particularly cosmetic gingivectomies, this device is also used as a surgical template. The near-perfect fit to which it adheres to teeth give gums the best gingival contour to follow in healing and post-surgical growth.
The Snap-On Smile can be used for solely cosmetic purposes to improve one’s overall appearance.
Minor tooth conditions such as midline discrepancies, missing teeth, stained teeth, worn teeth, chipped teeth, spaces between teeth, dark triangles, unerupted permanent teeth, diastemas, and uneven teeth sizes can all be rectified by this device. Also, any patient that is undergoing prolonged reconstructive work can use the device to mimic a healthy smile that conceals a work in progress. It adds the function benefit as well as a retaining device that maintains the shape of gums and dentition and the alignment of the bite.
Some people simply prefer it to the less comfortable and embarrassing alternative of traditional dentures.
If you are looking to improve your smile without diminishing it with visible orthodontics in the process, please call us at 1-888-790-0309 to schedule an appointment for this highly specialized and technologically advanced alternative to metal braces.
Cosmetic Dentistry is a specialized field that requires extensive knowledge and experience to be done correctly. The Medical Center Dental Group in Houston, Texas brings all of that and more to the direct benefit of each and every patient we treat. Although we are located in the world famous Houston Medical Center at Scurlock Towers, we routinely see dental patients who travel from Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Beaumont and Midland Texas to see Dr. Dale Brant, Dr. Charles Campbell or Dr. Elizabeth O’Sullivan-Winslow for their cosmetic denistry services.
