Before– This patient presented to Dr. Jack Hosner of Portage, Michigan with severely worn teeth due to acid erosion from a habit of sucking on lemons. Finances were limited. He could not wear a traditional removable partial denture due to excessive bone growth on the sides of his mouth nor could he afford to restore his teeth to normal or to have dental implants.
During– Dr. Hosner built up two of his teeth on the right side to help retain a removable “Snap-on Smile”.
After– This picture shows the “Snap-on Smile” in place. It grabs onto the existing teeth and is inserted and removed by the patient.
