										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Snap-on Smile</strong> is a removable, minimally invasive cosmetic dental device that fits over your existing teeth to instantly improve your smile — without anaesthesia, preparation or adhesives. <a href="https://dentalasensio.co.uk/our-team/dr-lucia-asensio-romero/">Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero</a>, specialist in cosmetic dentistry at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia, fits Snap-on Smile as part of a full range of smile makeover options for UK patients.</p>
<p>Snap-on Smile is made from high-strength dental resin — thinner and more resistant than traditional veneers — custom-fabricated in a laboratory from digital impressions of your teeth. The device clips over your natural teeth with a precise fit, changing the colour, shape and appearance of your smile immediately. It can be worn daily and removed for cleaning.</p>
<p>The first consultation is completely free. Call us on <a href="tel:08000488058">0800 048 8058</a> or email <a href="mailto:office@dentalasensio.co.uk">office@dentalasensio.co.uk</a> to book.</p>

<h2>The Snap-on Smile procedure at Asensio</h2>
<p>The procedure requires two visits. At the first appointment, digital impressions are taken — no anaesthesia required. These are sent to a specialist laboratory where the device is designed in 3D and fabricated. At the second appointment, the Snap-on Smile is fitted and adjusted for comfort and fit. Both visits can be completed in a single trip to Valencia.</p>
<h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
<h3>Can I eat with Snap-on Smile?</h3>
<p>Yes — Snap-on Smile is designed to allow eating and drinking. However, very hard or sticky foods should be avoided to protect the device.</p>
<h3>How long does Snap-on Smile last?</h3>
<p>With proper care, a Snap-on Smile typically lasts 3–5 years. It should be cleaned daily with a soft brush and stored in water when not worn.</p>
<h3>Is Snap-on Smile a permanent solution?</h3>
<p>No — it is a removable, reversible device. Many patients use it as a transitional solution while considering or saving for permanent treatment such as <a href="https://dentalasensio.co.uk/porcelain-veneers/">porcelain veneers</a> or <a href="https://dentalasensio.co.uk/lumineers/">Lumineers</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Teeth whitening abroad</strong> at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia uses the Philips Zoom system — professional-grade whitening that lightens teeth by up to 8 shades in a single 45-minute session. <a href="https://dentalasensio.co.uk/our-team/dr-lucia-asensio-romero/">Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero</a>, specialist in cosmetic dentistry, performs all whitening treatments as part of a wider smile assessment that considers the patient&#8217;s baseline shade, existing restorations and aesthetic goals.</p>
<p>Professional teeth whitening at Asensio costs significantly less than equivalent UK private treatment — and unlike over-the-counter kits, the result is predictable, safe and supervised by a specialist. Philips Zoom uses cold light activation, protecting the enamel throughout the procedure.</p>
<p>The first consultation is completely free. Call us on <a href="tel:08000488058">0800 048 8058</a> or email <a href="mailto:office@dentalasensio.co.uk">office@dentalasensio.co.uk</a> to book.</p>

<h2>Philips Zoom whitening — how it works</h2>
<p>A professional cleaning is performed before whitening to remove plaque and tartar that would otherwise block the whitening gel. The Zoom whitening gel is then applied to the teeth and activated by a cold light lamp — a process repeated over three 15-minute cycles in a single session. The patient can see results immediately after the first session. A home maintenance kit is provided to extend and maintain the result.</p>
<h2>Frequently asked questions</h2>
<h3>Is teeth whitening painful?</h3>
<p>Some patients experience mild sensitivity during and for 24–72 hours after treatment — this is normal and temporary. Philips Zoom cold light is significantly less aggressive on the enamel than traditional laser whitening systems.</p>
<h3>How long do whitening results last?</h3>
<p>Results typically last 1–2 years depending on diet and habits. Avoiding tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco significantly extends the result. Top-up treatments can be performed every 6–12 months.</p>
<h3>Can I whiten my teeth if I have veneers or crowns?</h3>
<p>Whitening gel only affects natural tooth enamel — existing crowns, veneers and composite fillings will not change colour. If you have visible restorations, we will advise on whether whitening is appropriate and whether any restorations would need replacing to match the new shade.</p>
