Cosmetic options
If you are looking for a treatment that will change the appearance of your teeth without long-term porcelain cosmetics, then there are alternative cosmetic options available. Additionally, sometimes patients seek a temporary fix for their issues while they prepare for permanent cosmetic treatment.
Snap-on Smile is a removable appliance made to fit over the top of your natural teeth (like a mask) to create the illusion of a perfectly aligned smile. It is a great option for those who just want a uniform smile when they go out: if they are a public speaker and would find an aligned smile more convenient, or for those who want a temporary fix until they decide to opt for a more permanent solution.
Veneers: porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain attached to front teeth in the smile zone. Porcelain veneers are colour-matched to the shade of your teeth so they blend in.
Teeth whitening: With in-chair teeth whitening you can have brighter teeth in just one hour.
How long is the treatment?
- Snap on Smile – 6-8 weeks
- Veneers – two appointments
- Teeth Whitening 1 hour
How long does it last?
- Snap on Smile – up to 3 years
- Veneers – up to 8 years
- Teeth Whitening – between 9 and 12 months
Snap-on-smile is created to fit over the top of your natural teeth and can be fitted and removed very easily without causing any pain or discomfort.
Porcelain veneers involve only a small amount of enamel being removed, and while it may cause some discomfort, it typically doesn’t cause pain.
Teeth whitening done by a professional should involve neither discomfort nor pain—unless you have overly sensitive teeth.

Case Study
Porcelain veneers (Front 8 teeth)
Lydia’s teeth were crooked as a result of there not being enough space in her mouth for all her teeth to fit. As a result of this, her teeth looked crooked and buckled up. There were two treatment options for Lydia: porcelain veneers or traditional orthodontics. However, she wanted results quickly because of the industry she worked in.
