The beauty of this procedure is there are no shots, no drilling, no permanent cement, it's removable, and you can even eat while wearing your Snap-on smile.

If your teeth are discolored, chipped, slightly crooked, missing, or have spaces between them, Dr. Catrise Austin (dentist to the stars) can provide the beautiful smile you have always dreamed about in just a snap with the new Snap-on Smile. 

The Snap-ons, which are made of tooth colored resin, slips right over your natural teeth similar to the popular "gold grills" that rappers have made famous to give patients the chance to try on a new smile without altering their natural tooth structure. The Snap-on appliance which is custom made in a lab can be made as thin as .5mm in thickness to make the smile look natural. 

Dr. Catrise Austin is a Manhattan cosmetic and general dentist who is among a handful of dentist in this country to use this breakthrough technique in her practice. "The most exciting thing about the cosmetic snap-on teeth is that when we do it, it gives patients the look and feel as if they did Da Vinci Veneers like on Extreme Makeover," says Dr. Catrise Austin.

First, Dr. Austin makes a dental impression or molding of the existing teeth to replicate the existing smile. 

Second, choose the preferred shape and color of your Snap-on. Patients can choose from 19 color shades and over 18 shapes and teeth arrangements. The Snap-on accessory can even be modeled after your favorite celebrity's smile! You can pick the "square sexy" Britney Spears or Little Kim, or the most popular request?the Halle Berry. 

Third, your case is sent to the lab for fabrication and within 7-10 days, your beautiful Snap-on Smile is ready. "The beauty of this procedure is there are no shots, no drilling, no permanent cement, it's removable, and you can even eat while wearing your Snap-on smile," says Dr. Austin. 

The perfect candidate for the Snap-on smile may be a bride to be or teen with limited funds who is taking pictures next week. Aspiring actors, singers, or models can use the Snap-on for headshots or to nail the job. Have a fear of the dentist but want a beautiful smile? The Snap-on Smile is an easy, pain free option to enhance your smile. Quite frankly, any patient who is looking for an affordable cosmetic alternative to permanent dental work such as veneers can benefit from this amazing accessory.

The estimated cost for Snap-on teeth ranges from $1,500-$2,000 each arch of the mouth. Compare this to the price of permanent porcelain veneers which can range from $1,500-$2,000 per tooth and the Snap-on is definitely something to smile about.
