Snap On Smile Burke, VA

Would you like to transform the look of your smile without orthodontics or invasive dental treatments?

Snap On Smile is a perfect cosmetic treatment option for patients with gaps between teeth, stained teeth, and missing teeth. It is also a great alternative to other cosmetic treatments, such as veneers, crowns, and bridges.

Snap On Smile is an easy, customizable cosmetic dental treatment that instantly gives you a new smile. A prosthetic smile will “snap on” your existing teeth and give you the smile you have always wanted. Snap-On Smile is perfect for patients who want to try a new look before committing to more extensive or expensive dental procedures such as porcelain veneers or full mouth rehabilitation. It is an economical cosmetic treatment with immediate results.

How Does Snap-On Smile Work?

The process is painless and requires only two visits for dental impressions and a final fitting. Snap-On Smile does not impact your oral health, but it is important to maintain a good daily hygiene routine to keep the teeth and gums clean. You will also need to clean the Sap-On Smile oral appliance according to the instructions.

Dr. Mia works one-on-one with patients to create a smile with Snap-On Smile, which is complementary to their natural facial aesthetics. She takes the time to understand your aesthetic goals and concerns so that your result with Snap-On Smile meets your needs.

Using your dental impressions and your personal treatment plan, a new smile will be fabricated in less than a month. The Snap-On Smile appliance will fit over your existing teeth in much the same way as a clear aligner or retainer. It is comfortable and provides an instant smile makeover.

Snap-On Smile FAQs

Snap-On Smile is a convenient way to get a beautiful new smile. Read more about it below.

Is Snap-On Smile permanent?

No, Snap-On Smile is a temporary cosmetic solution. While it is durable and can last several years with proper care, it is not intended to replace permanent dental treatments, such as crowns or implants. Many patients use it as a stepping stone before committing to more extensive cosmetic procedures. It’s also used as a long-term solution for those who are not candidates for permanent options.

Can I eat while wearing Snap-On Smile?

Yes, you can eat while wearing Snap-On Smile, but it’s recommended to avoid extremely hard or sticky foods. Chewing gum, tough meats, and crunchy snacks may cause wear or dislodge the appliance. Many patients choose to remove it during meals to preserve its condition. Dr. Mia will provide care instructions based on your lifestyle.

Does insurance cover Snap-On Smile?

Snap-On Smile is considered a cosmetic procedure, so it’s typically not covered by dental insurance. However, some flexible spending accounts (FSAs) or health savings accounts (HSAs) may reimburse part of the cost. Our office offers in-house payment plans as well as third-party financing options. Always check with your provider to confirm benefits.

Can I wear Snap-On Smile every day?

Yes, Snap-On Smile is designed for regular daily use. Many people wear it all day, removing it only at night or when eating tough foods. It’s comfortable enough for long-term wear if properly cared for. Be sure to clean it daily and handle it with care to prevent breakage.

Will Snap-On Smile cause me to speak differently?

You may notice a slight change in your speech at first, especially with words that require your tongue to touch your teeth. However, most patients adjust quickly, usually within a few days. Practicing speaking aloud and reading can help accelerate this adjustment. If problems persist, we can modify the fit for comfort.

What are the limitations of Snap-On Smile?

Snap-On Smile is not intended to replace functional restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or implants. It can’t correct bite issues or severe misalignment. It may not be suitable for patients with advanced gum disease or severely damaged teeth. While it offers a quick cosmetic fix, it does not improve oral health or prevent future problems.
