The patient returns for a fitting of the final piece, where we make any necessary adjustments for an optimal fit.
The process of creating a customized Snap-On Smile can take up to three weeks from start to finish.

Once the patient is satisfied with the feel and fit, they can wear their Snap-On Smile home and enjoy their new smile immediately.
