I\u2019m looking for a way to save money on a snap-on smile and I found an online company who can do this. It\u2019s also good because I really hate the dentist and would rather not have to spend any time in the dental chair. How hard could it be to get impressions taken of my teeth at home? I researched and found an online company that can help me with the impressions, but I\u2019m a little concerned about their credibility after reading a lot of negative reviews from customers who paid money for orders and never got them. I am wondering if there are any other online companies out there that do this? — Sam<\/p>\n
Sam,
\nWOW\u2026 it seems like you can order just about anything online these days. You can definitely find a lot of great deals on all sorts of products, but I\u2019m not sure you want to take a chance with something as important as your smile.<\/p>\n
First of all, impressions can\u2019t and shouldn’t be done by the average person. In order to get a good, quality product, there has to be some training. Even if you found a dental assistant who could help you, he or she might not even be able to get the quality you need. And if you did get the impressions done, how would you get the actual snap-on smile ordered? Dental labs can only receive orders from licensed dentists \u2013 it\u2019s the law \u2013 so there would have to be some sort of dishonesty on someone’s part in order to get that part of the process done. Then there\u2019s all the details like shade, bite, and facial bulk that come into play when the snap-on smile is being made. Do you know how to figure all that out? Probably not.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, a Snap-on Smile has to be fit once it comes back from the lab. There will be slight adjustments that need to be made and you won\u2019t have the proper tools or skills to do it correctly, which could end up ruining it all together. Considering all these factors, do you still think it\u2019s a good idea to try and order online?<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s price that is your main concern, you should be able to find a dentist in your area that can do a basic snap-on smile for a fairly reasonable cost. Be up-front about your budget and see if they will work with you and possibly charge you a few hundred over lab costs. You just need to be aware that you will get what you pay for, so don\u2019t go into this expecting more than the basics.<\/p>\n
