Hard to say: Your question needs to be answered by a dentist who can actually examine you, see which teeth are present, and advise you of your options. Call a local dentist for an appointment.

SOS: Snap- on smile has very limited indications. It's a temporary and removable covering for teeth when one cannot afford better dental options. If you are not happy with your smile, see a prosthodontist to discuss your dental restorative options.

Maybe: A snap on smile is very limited. Consider seeing a dentist to discuss all of your options.

Depends: What is your definition of 'work'? The snap on smile is not meant to be a definitive prosthesis. I'm not sure what you mean by 'wider smile'. If it's a tooth spacing issue, i would recommend you seek a consultation with an orthodontist to evaluate you. The one good thing about the snap on smile is that it's completely reversible. So, if you don't mind the cost, it won't hurt anything.

Yes but why?: Dental implant only replaced the loss root. A good dentist will be able to implement the wider smile with proper angulation and placement of implant location. Why would you implant and then use snap on smile to have a wider smile? Consult with a dentist who is experienced with full mouth reconstruction.
