Here are some more FAQs about snap-on teeth:
How Snap-On Teeth Work?
Our dentist at Dentistry For You first examines your existing teeth to be sure you are a good candidate for the snap-on teeth treatment. If you have any dental problems such as cavities, our dentist will need to take care of that first. Once the dentist feels your teeth are healthy enough, our dentist will make a mold of your teeth to send out to a laboratory so your snap-on teeth can be made. When your new teeth are back from the lab, our dentist will insert your snap-on teeth and adjust them accordingly until they are perfect.
Why Would Anyone Need Snap-On Teeth?
If you have any missing teeth, crooked, chipped, or stained teeth, it can lower your confidence and make you not want to smile. These teeth can fix just about everything as long as you have a few good teeth for our dentist to fit them to. Each arch, top and bottoms, can have up to 14 beautiful new teeth that fit right over your existing teeth. They are made of a very strong and thin resin that will withstand as much as normal, healthy teeth.
How Long Will My New Snap-On Teeth Last?
As long as you take care of your snap-ons, they should last between two and five years. Our dentist here at Thornhill will show you how to insert your new teeth and how to remove them while you sleep. They are very similar to dentures in the fact that you can wear them all the time for drinking, smiling, talking and working.
Are They Expensive?
The best thing about the snap-on teeth is that they are inexpensive compared to other procedures like porcelain crown. Our snap-on teeth are much more affordable.
