Snap On Smile

Patients that are looking for a non-invasive, reversible, affordable approach to restorative and cosmetic dentistry are excellent candidates for Snap-On-Smile. The procedure is quick and effective, making it a great option for patients who want to look and feel better. At Family Dental Rego Park, we construct new smiles for our patients every day using this innovative technology.
 
Snap-On Smile is a comfortable, removable dental application that uses the patients existing tooth structure to improve their smile. The device is made from a durable and stain resistant acetyl resin and is can be up to .5mm thin without compromising strength. Dr. Verma collaborates with you in order to determine what shade and style you are hoping for.
 
The procedure is quite simple. Dr. Verma will take photos and impressions of your teeth. The molds are sent to a dental lab where the Snap-On Smile appliance is created in about two weeks. Once the device is ready, Dr. Verma will explain the insertion and removal process and basic maintenance procedures. From there, you will be able to enjoy a new-look smile that you can be proud of. Snap-On Smile is a great solution for patients who are unable to receive permanent improvements, such as crowns, veneers and implants because they are medically compromised.
 
Typically, our patients do not experience any adverse effects from their Snap-On Smile. Patients are not limited to what they can eat and drink, though right after the procedure it is recommended that patients begin with a soft-food diet. Speech is not affected by these custom-fit appliances either. Patients may experience some trouble within the first couple hours of their procedure, but this varies by patient and often diminishes quickly.

Invisalign

Invisalign
At Family Dental Rego Park, we offer Invisalign braces so that you can straighten your teeth without a mouth full of metal. Using a series of clear plastic aligners, our doctors will guide you teeth into a smile you won’t be able to stop showing off.
 
While regular braces are still best for more serious cases of teeth straightening, Invisalign is great for cases of mild to moderate spacing or crowding. For these cases, Invisalign provides teeth correction that bypasses the discomfort, sores and restrictive diet that those who have traditional braces must face.
 
With a computer program that generates a series of aligners with small changes in each, Invisalign will allow you to straighten your teeth without anyone even knowing. Virtually invisible, the aligners are made of a thin, comfortable plastic, and, unlike traditional braces, they are removable. Because they can be removed easily, you will be able to clean your teeth and eat normally. Therefore, your teeth will not experience the same discoloration and plaque buildup that can occur with metal brackets and wire. In addition, you will still be able to eat all the foods you like, such as popcorn, chips, pretzels, nuts, apples, carrots and corn.
 
If you think Invisalign might be the best option for you to achieve the smile you’ve been dreaming of, call us at (718) 699-8268 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Bishod Verma or Dr. Supriya Verma.
