The Snap-On Smile..

Further proof that I am out of touch with advances in American culture came this evening when I saw on CNN a report on "the snap-on smile".
On the surface this sounds like something brought around once a week in a white box truck with red lettering to your local mechanic and promoted until he buys or leases it for his toolbox. Well it’s not.
The "snap-on smile" is an "advance in cosmetic dentistry" which is a by product of the movie industry in the same way Teflon and fuel cells are creations of space flight.
Forget all that bridgework and crowns and capping…get rid of all those annoying teeth whitening agents you have to wear for 8 hours before going out in public minus your nicotine stained teeth.
For $ 1500 to $ 3000 you can have "snap-on dentures" that you can put in and take out like daily wear contact lenses. Not only convenient but enhancing also. If you’re a woman you can have the look alike teeth of Gwyneth Paltrow or Julia Roberts. If you’re a guy Matt Damon’s or Brad Pitt’s look is available.
Of course your dentures have to be fitted by a cosmetic Dentist…and there will have to be some adjusting for speech and eating.
No doubt in the future a good time will be had by all these smiling faces..
