Snap-on Smile

2010-11-05T08:00:00.000-07:00

I want to educate more people on what a Snap-on Smile is. It really is the "Hollywood Smile" for a fraction of the cost:

“The patented Snap-on Smile is a non-evasive (means it doesn’t require any damage to the teeth) cosmetic, removable appliance that literally snaps over the patients existing teeth, without having an effect or impact on the gums or covering the roof of your mouth. It’s completely tooth-borne (it attaches comfortable to the teeth), so no adhesives are required. You can can eat, drink and function normally in every way, and wear it all day long, every day!

Chairtime is minimal – diagnose and deliver in just two short appointments. It’s also backed by a 12-month warranty, with the optional extension to 36 months, so you get a Snap-on Smile with total confidence.”

To learn more about how you can get a Snap-on Smile, check out http://www.snaponsmile.com/ or call me for a free consultation to see if you’re a candidate. (850) 477-8668
