How many shades are there to choose from?
BL1 So, you want a dazzling Hollywood smile? This is our whitest, brightest shade that gives the appearance of whitened teeth.
A1 A whiter shade than your average smile, this is the most naturally white a tooth can be.
A2 Light ivory is a common color for teeth that have not undergone any whitening treatment.
A3 Medium ivory is slightly darker than A2 to maintain a natural tone.
Does it hurt?
No, our experts create the perfect fit, so that your instasmile is comfortable and secure, and easily clips on and off your natural teeth. You’ll even be able to eat and drink in them thanks to our patented technology.
Do I need to see a dentist?
No, you don't need to see a dentist to get an instasmile. When you click Get Started we'll let you know straight away if you are suitable for instasmile. You can use your self-impression kit from the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you.
If you are still unsure, send us some pictures of your natural teeth and gum line to suitability@instasmile.com and we'll assess these for you before you place an order.
Will it damage my own teeth?
No, instasmile is a non permanent and removable solution that safely and easily clips on and off without causing any damage to your natural teeth.
Can I drink and eat with snap on veneers from instasmile ?
Thanks to our patented design technology you can eat and drink most things with all instasmile products (also see temporary teeth you can eat with). Despite being very durable, our clip-on veneers are a lifestyle product. The more you look after them, the longer they will last. The same applies to the type of foods that you eat. Eating softer foods means that the product will naturally last longer.
Can I smoke in them?
Yes, instasmile has been tested by a leading university for color stability, and can be worn by smokers. We do recommend you follow our aftercare guidance after wearing your instasmile to keep it looking its best!
Can I kiss with them in?
Yes, our patented technology and innovative dental design software means that your instasmile will fit securely and comfortably so you can feel confident during those intimate moments.
Will they stain?
All instasmile products have been tested by a leading university for color stability against a number of compounds such as red wine, nicotine and mild spices. As we have not tested against every possible compound that can cause staining we do recommend that you follow our aftercare guide to ensure your instasmile stays looking great for as long as possible. As instasmile is a lifestyle product the better you look after it the longer it will last.
Will I have a lisp?
Not always. Your mouth is a sensitive place, and anything new inside your mouth will take a little adjustment. Your instasmile may cause a slight lisp when first worn but usually disappears after wearing the product for 72 hours. The more you wear them the faster you will adjust to wearing them. It’s also worth remembering that even fixed veneers can cause a lisp when they are first fitted.
How long does instasmile last?
instasmile products are a lifestyle product. The better you look after them the longer they will last.

View All Questions
I suffer from excessive plaque or tooth decay, can I still use instamile?
We would recommend you seek dental advice to address these issues before placing an order with instasmile. For example, a buildup of plaque would make it difficult for you to get an accurate impression of your teeth and gum lines. This would need to be removed first so that you can make an accurate impression and ensure your instasmile has a secure and accurate fit.
If you are still unsure, send us some pictures of your natural teeth and gum line to suitability@instasmile.com and we'll assess these for you before you place an order.
Does it cover discolored teeth?
Yes, instasmile clip-on veneers conceal a number of dental issues including discolored teeth, and we have a number shades for you to choose from. If you have severe discoloration, instasmile clip-on veneers may not fully cover this. We suggest that you email images of your natural teeth to suitability@instasmile.com so that we can assess these for you before you place an order.
Will my tooth be visible where my instasmile clips on?
Only the top part of your clip-in tooth (towards the back) may be visible. Our patent pending technology and design means that your instasmile will contain an opening on this part, so that you can chew food comfortably, and enjoy eating while wearing your instasmile. instasmile covers up to 10 teeth per arch, and this is dependent on your individual profile.
I have crowns, bridges, veneers or implants, can I use instasmile?
If you have crowns, caps, bridges, gum-level implants or veneers, as long as these (or your own teeth) are not loose, are fully secured come right down to cover your whole tooth to meet your gum line, you will be suitable.
If you are still unsure, please send us some pictures of your natural teeth and gum line to suitability@instasmile.com and well assess these for you before you place an order.
I suffer from severe gum disease or severe gum recession, can I use instasmile?
Sadly no, excessive gum disease or receding gums means that you cannot wear an instasmile.
If you are still unsure, please send us some pictures of your natural teeth and gum line to suitability@instasmile.com and we'll assess these for you before you place an order.
I have a fixed braces or a fixed retainer, can I use instasmile?
Sadly no, as these would affect you making an accurate impression, or having a secure and accurate fitting product. If you currently have a fixed retainer of any kind you will need to wait until this is removed before you would be suitable to wear an instasmile.
I have loose or brittle teeth, can I use instasmile?
Sadly no. Our clip-on veneers need to attach securely onto your teeth. If you have teeth that are loose or brittle you cannot wear an instasmile.
I have an underbite and/or a crossbite, can I use instasmile?
Yes, if you have an underbite and/or crossbite, you'll still be able to use an instasmile. However, we recommend that your instasmile is for occasional use, and that eating with your instasmile in is kept to a minimum. This is because it may create an unbalanced bite pressure that could damage your clip-on veneer. And don't worry if you have an overbite, that's very common and creates no issues with an instasmile. If you have a severe overbite and or your teeth stick out or protrude, please understand that the instasmile will exaggerate this as we are adding 0.6mm-1.0mm to your natural teeth.
I have heavily ground down teeth, can I use instasmile?
If you have a lot of heavily ground down teeth (less than 4 mm in length), sadly you will not be suitable for an instasmile. All instasmile products fit securely to your teeth, and we require a certain amount of teeth to be present to clip to.
If you have one or two ground down teeth you will be suitable as long as you meet all other suitability criteria. If you are still unsure, please send us some pictures of your natural teeth and gum line to suitability@instasmile.com and we'll assess these for you.

Aftercare
How do I put in and take out my instasmile?
Your instasmile is easy to put in and remove. To insert your clip-on veneers, first check that they are aligned correctly to fit over your natural teeth. Place the product over your teeth. Starting at the back, gently apply pressure until it clips into place. Do not force it.
To remove, use both hands to remove your instasmile. Start at your canines (fangs) and begin to gently tease your veneers from side to side until they come loose. Once removed, do not twist or flex your instasmile, as this may damage it.
My instasmile feels tight, is this normal?
Yes, this is perfectly normal, and is nothing to worry about. We aim to provide you with a product that fits securely, we recommend in this situation that you soak your instasmile in warm water for 10-15 minutes and insert it again and this should feel better.
Remember that your instasmile is custom-made to your teeth and as such will only fit your mouth. If your veneers become loose or uncomfortable to wear and you are within your 14 day manufacturer's warranty then please discontinue use, and contact us immediately. Do not cut or trim or attempt to alter your veneers in any way as this will void your warranty.
My instasmile is the wrong shade
If you believe that the instasmile that you have received is in the wrong shade, and you are still within your 14 day manufacturer warranty period then please upload images of your product in your instasmile account. We can then investigate this further and advise you on the next steps. Please be assured that we will look to resolve any issues quickly.
View All Questions
I have a lisp
Your mouth is a sensitive place, and anything new inside your mouth will take a little adjustment. Your instasmile may cause a slight lisp when first worn but usually disappears after 72 hours. The more you wear them the faster you will adjust to wearing them. It's also worth remembering that even fixed veneers can cause a lisp when they are first fitted.
How do I clean my instasmile?
It's easy to look after your instasmile to keep it looking its best. We suggest you wash it with warm (not hot or boiling) water after every use. Simply remove, rinse with water and use a soft bristle toothbrush (a baby toothbrush is ideal) to remove any food residue from the inside of your veneers. You can then use disinfectant tablets - similar to those used for dentures - twice a week to remove any unseen bacteria.
We do not recommend using toothpaste to clean your instasmile.
How do I store my instasmile?
We provide you with a storage case to keep your instasmile safe. It's important that you do not leave your veneers in direct sunlight and avoid putting them in hot or boiling water, as this can cause your instasmile to warp.
If you have pets, be aware that they are instantly attracted to saliva, so keep your instasmile well out of reach!!
