Snappier Smiles: How Long Does It Take to Get Snap-On Veneers vs Traditional

Veneers: Now Very Fast

The desire for convenience is driving everything in modern life. From grocery shopping to entertainment and transportation, our main want is this: make it snappy! Traditionally, dental patients have had to wait a considerably longer time for porcelain veneer treatments. But dental experts say that snap-on veneers are shortening such timelines. Here’s how.

The whole point of veneers is that they can make teeth look brighter, whiter, and more aligned. Is this worth the wait? Maybe, for some - but what if you could have your cake and eat it too? Or, have a better smile, and have it soon?

The Trouble With Tradition

Traditionally, someone looking for porcelain veneers would have to visit their dentist, get some extensive preparatory work done, wait for the lab to complete their products, and go back to the dentist for installation. That’s a lot of steps, which is why estimates suggest the whole thing can take up to a month - or even longer!

But those times are largely over, experts declare. 

Snap-On, Trouble-Free

Nowadays, patients have the option of choosing veneers that “snap on” to their natural teeth without the need for significant alteration. 

That means no drilling, no major dental procedures, and most crucially, no visits to the dentist. Patients are achieving their intended results far sooner than older solutions allowed, bringing quickness and convenience to the dental industry. 

One provider, Dental Lab Direct, has seen the effects in person.

“Snap-on veneers are a non-invasive way to very quickly enhance the beauty of your smile. You can cosmetically improve your teeth by covering up any discoloration, gaps, or mild misalignments. Unlike traditional veneers, they do not require any drilling, enamel removal, dentist visits, or long lab waiting times to get them.”

How They Work

Flexible smile improvement goals are now more attainable than ever. Traditional veneer routes would take you out of your home en route to a dental office - places of severe anxiety for some. 

Snap-on veneers, meanwhile, make everything much simpler. Take BellaVeneers as an example. All orders are completed online - with custom impression kits posted to your property through the mail. 

What’s next? Experts break it down:

• Take molds of your teeth using your kit
• Send them to the lab
• Wait a short time for your custom veneers to be built
• Get your new veneers mailed to your door

It’s as simple as that. How long does it all take? According to experts, you’re looking at a timeline of one to two weeks - not months. Best of all? Your veneers will be ready to wear, so you can “snap on” your new smile as soon as the finished product arrives.

Snap-on veneer providers have observed other benefits from the perspective of patients, ranging from their temporary and removable build to their more affordable price tag. For so many of us, time is money. If you'd rather not pay more to wait longer, experts believe the choice is clear.
