Snap on Smile

A fast, non-invasive removable arch that fits over your existing teeth to instantly improve the appearance of your smile.

What is Snap on Smile?

Snap on Smile is a removable dental arch that fits directly over your existing teeth to instantly improve the look of your smile. It is made from a thin, strong resin material that is custom-fitted to your mouth and can be snapped in and out at any time. Unlike veneers or other cosmetic treatments, Snap on Smile requires no drilling, no injections, and no permanent changes to your natural teeth, making it one of the most non-invasive smile improvement options available.

Snap on Smile is not a permanent restoration. It is a cosmetic solution designed to improve the appearance of your smile without altering your natural teeth in any way.

At Smart Dental Network, your Snap on Smile is custom-fitted to your teeth and your smile goals. Your provider will work with you to find the right shade and shape so your result looks natural and feels comfortable.

Caring For Your Snap on Smile

A little care goes a long way in keeping your Snap on Smile looking its best. Here is what to keep in mind.

Daily

Cleaning

Rinse your Snap on Smile with cool water and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush after each use. Avoid toothpaste as it can scratch the surface of the resin over time.

When not wearing

Storage

Store your Snap on Smile in its protective case whenever you are not wearing it to prevent damage, warping, or accidental loss between uses.

Ongoing

What to avoid

Remove your Snap on Smile before eating, drinking hot beverages, or chewing gum. Hard or sticky foods can crack or damage the resin of your denture.
