Dr. G - Hello, I’m Doctor Richard Gangwisch and I’m here to show you snap on smile. Snap on smile is a lower cost alternative to cover chipped, stained or missing teeth until one can afford a more permanent solution. No needles or drilling, the entire process is completed in only 2 appointments. So let’s look at an actual case. Here is the actual snap on smile that we will be delivering today. So you can see it looks pretty good on the model. The material is made of a very durable acrylic plastic. True to its name, it not only snaps on, but it snaps off. It’s got a pretty good fit as you can see. Let’s look underneath. You‘ll notice that the patient is missing a tooth and she’s also got abnormal spaces, which would require orthodontics to take care of. Inside you can see the shells there. That is what will fit comfortably over the teeth. And it’s got a chewing surface there so she can eat with it in if she wishes. And we’ll try that on and see how it snaps on. Alright, let’s see how it looks in her mouth. Here we are with Kathy with a snap on smile for her. So what do you think about that Kathy?
Kathy - Looks great! Looks good!
Dr. G - All right! Let’s see what it looks like in your mouth here. So we’ll go ahead and take that off. It’s got a good fit on the model there. OK. Are you ready? Why don’t you go ahead and take a look at that Kathy and see how that looks there. Looks a whole lot better, huh?
Kathy - All right!
Dr. G - All right, well Kathy you just got your snap on smile today. What do you think about that?
Kathy - I love it! What a difference! I love it! It’s comfortable. It feels great. Thank you so much.
Dr. G - Well I think you look great. You’ve got yourself a fantastic smile and you know what we started with and this will let you go out in public and enjoy smiling again.
Kathy - Oh, definitely.
Dr. G - Tell us a little bit about your job. You said you work in retail.
Kathy - Yes. I work in retail with women and a lot of it is your smile and your appearance and this gives me a lot more confidence. With the tooth missing in the front, this is amazing. For a turnover of 2 weeks, it’s amazing.
Dr. G - This was a tooth that you were not born with.
Kathy - Right, I was missing that front tooth right from the start. It grew to the side so I was always having to have like a small plate because I have a space and then the tooth missing so I never had a great smile. I was always really, really not confident with it. So this is really amazing for snap on and go. It’s amazing! It feels good. I think I’m I mean I’m talking good. It’s amazing. It’s perfect. I’m very, very happy.
Dr. G - Well, that’s great. I’m very, very happy. Well you’ve been super and we’re looking forward to having you walk out and showing that smile to everyone.
Kathy - I definitely will. Definitely. Thank you so much
