Your smile is one of the first things people notice—and when you're not confident in it, it can affect everything from your self-esteem to your social life. But what if there were a painless, non-invasive way to instantly transform your teeth without the need for drills, needles, or permanent alterations?
Welcome to the world of Snap-On Smile, a revolutionary cosmetic dental solution offered by Dr. Kesner at Kesner Family Dentistry in Queens, NY. This innovative treatment is changing the game for patients who want a quick, affordable, and comfortable way to achieve a beautiful smile.
What Is a Snap-On Smile?
A Snap-On Smile is a custom-designed dental appliance made of strong, thin resin that literally "snaps" over your existing teeth to instantly enhance your smile. Whether you're dealing with gaps, stains, missing teeth, or other cosmetic imperfections, Snap-On Smile offers an easy solution without the cost and commitment of veneers, crowns, or implants.
It’s removable, easy to clean, and made to fit comfortably—so you can eat, speak, and go about your day with confidence.
Why Patients Love Snap-On Smile
Snap-On Smile has become popular for many reasons, especially for patients looking for a low-risk, low-cost cosmetic enhancement. Here are some benefits:
- No drilling or anesthesia required
- Non-invasive and completely reversible
- Durable and stain-resistant
- Budget-friendly compared to permanent cosmetic options
- Instant improvement in aesthetics
- Custom-fit for comfort and natural appearance
It’s an ideal solution for patients who are not candidates for bridges or implants, or who simply want a cosmetic fix without committing to more invasive procedures.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Snap-On Smile is perfect for a variety of patients, including those with:
- Gaps between teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Missing teeth (in certain cases)
- Worn-down teeth

Patients undergoing full-mouth rehabilitation or those who want to preview what veneers or implants might look like also find Snap-On Smile a helpful interim solution.
Dr. Kesner will assess your smile and determine if Snap-On Smile is right for you during your consultation at Kesner Family Dentistry in Queens.
The Snap-On Smile Process with Dr. Kesner
Getting a Snap-On Smile is simple and typically involves two appointments:
1. Consultation and Impressions
Dr. Kesner will start by evaluating your teeth, discussing your aesthetic goals, and making sure you’re a good candidate for Snap-On Smile. If you're eligible, impressions of your upper and/or lower arches will be taken. These molds are then sent to a specialized dental lab where your Snap-On Smile is fabricated using your custom specifications.
2. Fitting and Delivery
Within 2 to 3 weeks, your Snap-On Smile will be ready. You'll return to Kesner Family Dentistry for a fitting appointment. Dr. Kesner will ensure a secure, comfortable fit and provide detailed instructions on care, usage, and maintenance.
You'll walk out of the office with a dramatically improved smile—no pain, no recovery, and no downtime.
