What is Snap-On Smile?

Snap-On Smile is a cosmetic removable customized arch that is fitted on the teeth of patients who want an instant smile makeover to quickly improve the appearance of their smile. It is usually cheaper than other options. Some dentists also place Snap-On Smile as a temporary smile for patients who are waiting for crowns, veneers or implant restorations to be placed on their teeth. It also serves as an attractive mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding. It takes three weeks to make a Snap-On Smile.

How is the Snap-On Smile procedure performed?

Patients are asked to choose the style and shade of the smile they want on the first visit. The dentist then takes an impression. A thin strong arch is made using resin.  Once the arch is ready, the dentist fits the arch on the existing teeth of the patient.      

How long will Snap-On Smile last?

Snap-On Smile has a limited warranty for a year. It lasts for a year if worn every day. If the patient wears snap on smile only for special occasions it can last from three to five years.

Is fitting Snap-On Smile painful?

Snap-On Smile is fitted over the natural teeth of patients. No preparation or drilling is required and it is a pain free procedure. Patients need to get used to their snap on smile and may have difficulty speaking or eating for a few days.  

Can I travel by air after fitting Snap-On Smile?

Patients can travel by air after fitting a Snap-On Smile. It is a removable dental device and if patients feel uncomfortable, they can remove the arch and wear it after the end of their journey.  

What is the recovery time after fitting Snap-On Smile?

There is no preparation required for fitting Snap-On Smile and therefore patients will have no pain. Patients may need a day or two to speak and bite comfortably after adjusting to a Snap-On Smile.

Patients should remove the Snap-On Smile and brush it after every meal. Patients should remove their Snap-On Smile before going to bed unless otherwise recommended by their dentist. Patients should avoid hard food products to ensure that their Snap-On Smile does not break. They should carefully store their Snap-On Smile in its case when not in use.

They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortableRobert, US, 03 10 22

4 years and Satisfied! Dr. Hartshorne is one in a Million.The professionalism and friendliness of the whole team was outstanding. Undoubtedly the best dental-related experience I’ve ever had. From the first day I visited this office I’ve felt as though I’ve been cared for and treated in the best possible way. I had 5 Implants. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. The result from my dental implants was great.. about 8 months later, one tooth seemed to be a bit lose, but he had warned me that it rarely ever happens, but if it does, feel free to come in, we'll take care of it, and he did. Also note that the office and operating rooms are incredibly clean. I also found it nice that they do everything from the consultation to the procedure at the same place. Modern Equipment in a nice facility with a doctor that knows his job was a game changer for me. The Money, was worth my Smile. Every visit was like visiting friends

The clinic was amazing when it comes to service, efficiency and appearanceLerato, South Africa, 26 05 17

I was fortunate enough to have access to quality staff and practitioners that went out of their way to make the experience of going to see a dentist more comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient the staff was and how dedicated they were at making the experience of wisdom tooth extraction less intimidating. The clinic was amazing when it comes to service, efficiency, and appearance. The only problem I had was that the clinic was very expensive. Their prices were quite high including a consultation that went over R800.00
