I know there is a dental apparatus that can be placed directly over your teeth, similar to a mouth guard, with the exception it is a covering over your existing teeth, giving an appearance of a different (nicer) look than your existing teeth. What is this called? And is the procedure relatively short time-wise, with no pain and relatively inexpensive? Please email information. Thank You.

Mark,
\nWhat you’re asking about is called a “snap-on smile.” It’s a temporary smile makeover<\/a> that can be snapped over your existing teeth. It’s used sometimes for theatre, or for weddings. It’s not very durable, but it can create a nice temporary improvement in your smile. It of course makes your teeth look larger and bulkier, and it needs to be removed in order to clean it after every time you eat.<\/p>\n

There is a dental laboratory<\/a> in New York that makes these appliances. Your dentist needs to send a model of your teeth to the laboratory and they send back your Snap-On Smile in about two weeks. There is no preparation required on your teeth—it just snaps on to your unaltered teeth, so there is no grinding or novocain required. I would recommend having an expert cosmetic dentist to order the appliance in order to get the best results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
