This week’s health alert comes to us from the land of the ‘beautiful people’ – California! Dentists have developed temporary veneers you can pop over your teeth for a new smile. Think vampire teeth for Halloween, but much prettier. Your dentist takes a mold of your mouth and then designs new tooth shapes to go over your own. The result is an easier, cheaper type of veneer that you can take off. Now cheap is a relative term when talking about dental work. The snap-on smile still costs over a thousand dollars but is less expensive than permanent veneers and again, gives you a chance to try out the new look first. You can eat and drink in the teeth but you do need to take them out at night. Honestly, some of the ones featured looked a little cartoonish but if your teeth are in bad shape, it’s a nice alternative. And they last three to five years depending on how well you take care of them. You dno’t have to go to California, either. Atlanta Dental Arts and Suwanee Dental Care offer the snap-on smile here.
