Protecting Your Teeth After Dental Implant Surgery: 4 Easy Tips
Implants have become a staple of restorative dentistry, but even after you’ve had them done, there are things you should do to take care of them. Here’s how to keep your implants safe.
Snap On Smile Won’t Snap And It Falls Off
I can put my snap on smile on but it never really snaps. It doesn’t feel snug at all. I can’t count the times it has fallen off, but I can feel it slipping so I manage to catch it. Can this thing be re-molded or do I have to get a new one? Thanks. Jay
Jay – It is possible that an experienced Snap-On Smile dentist can make adjustments to your appliance, but that depends on the condition and age of it.
Usually, a proper fit is ensured when you first receive the appliance. The need to adjust it when it’s new is normal. If an experienced dentist isn’t able to give you a proper fit, then you will need a new Snap-On Smile. It is not possible to re-mold it.
This might be a good time to speak with a cosmetic dentist about your options for a smile makeover. If you will continue to purchase a new Snap-On Smile each time it wears out, cosmetic dentistry may give you better results and be less expensive in the long term. Dental bonding, teeth whitening, dental crowns, or a combination of these treatments may give you great results. If longer-lasting forms of cosmetic dentistry interest you, ask about how treatment can be made affordable for you.
