There's a new dental solution available for unattractive teeth. Most alternatives take months to complete under the care of an ordinary dentist. Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, is able to give patients a new look within a week or two by offering Snap-On Smile as a way to attain a temporary smile makeover.

Dr. Maddahi explains, "Once your dental impressions are taken by us, your case is sent to the lab and I can have it back within a week or 10 days. A shell, made of acrylic, goes over the upper and/or lower teeth and gives the appearance of all new dental work. It's easy to use, snapping on and off your existing teeth. You suddenly have a beautiful, white smile"For those with missing teeth, a gummy smile, the need to cover pre-existing dental treatment, or misalignment of teeth this, new product, created by Trident Dental Laboratories in Hawthorne, California, can be an inexpensive alternative to full mouth reconstruction.

"Diastema - spaces between teeth, and misaligned teeth used to only be able to be corrected with years of braces.", says Dr. Maddahi. "Then came porcelain veneers and crowns that allowed us to makeover a persons smile in much less time. This new solution can handle these problems with amazing ease. Made with a specialized acrylic resin which allows the appliance to be made as thin as .5 millimeters without compromising strength. Its simple patented design allows the patient to eat without any impingement into the gums."

There are many patients who have avoided the dental care they have needed because of true fear or phobias of the dental office. The thought of going to the dentist can be well founded. Until recently the majority of dentists had little awareness that there were available alternatives to painful dental procedures. Dr. Maddahi is part of the growing dental population that is striving to use new technical solutions to avoid pain in the dental chair. This product requires no drilling, no shots, no cement and it is removable, although it is made to eat with.

"This low-cost alternative," says Dr. Maddahi, "can be used temporarily in place of porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, teeth whitening, and the other choices available in cosmetic dentistry."

Snap-On Smile is also an idea for those patients considering a more permanent restoration and allows them to try out a new smile. There are 19 color shades and 18 smile designs to chose from. No cementation or bonding is ever needed.
