New York, NY -- Today (Nov. 26) marks the beginning of Christmas shopping season, and -- surprisingly -- a lot of people will be in the market for false teeth.

Dentists who make the relatively-new Snap on Teeth are expecting to have patients chomping at the bit to get them for the holidays.

Manhattan dentist Marc Liechtung is one of the few doctors who make Snap on Teeth and says the typical customer uses the clip-on choppers to hide nasty, stained or worn-down-to-the-nub teeth.

Unlike a full plate of dentures, you don't have to get your real teeth pulled in order to make room for the snap ons, which fit over the teeth.

Dr. Liechtung makes a dental impression of existing teeth to create a prosthetic model that snaps onto the back teeth and can be removed at any time.

He says the $3000 process is easier and more economical than the other tooth-covering option -- getting a full mouth of veneers for about $30,000.
