What Are Retainers?
After you are done with your orthodontic treatment, you will move to a retainer to maintain your results. Your retainer can protect the investment you made in time and money with orthodontic treatments by keeping your teeth in their new location while your jaw and gums stabilize. To serve the needs of our patients, San Ramon Family Dental in San Ramon, CA offers many high-quality retainer options, including a fixed or removable retainer. Dr. Rupam Khanna will guide you in the process and discuss your options.
What Should I Expect with Retainers?
Once your orthodontics are taken off your teeth, you can be fitted for your retainer. We'll take an impression of your teeth and send it to a dental lab. Once your retainer is ready around 1 – 2 weeks later, we'll schedule an office visit. During this appointment, Dr. Khanna will ensure your retainer fits comfortably before sending you home. She will also tell you when you have to wear your retainer, as well as how to wash and store it.
What Are the Benefits of Retainers?
Retainers prepared by San Ramon Family Dental are essential in orthodontic care, extending extensive perks to promote appealing and restored smiles for San Ramon, CA patients. Some of the possible benefits include:
- Helping teeth to remain in alignment as gums and bone regulate alterations
- Safeguarding against bruxism (teeth grinding) while sleeping
- Improving speech and swallowing
- Strengthening the position of the teeth after orthodontic therapy
- Sustaining long-term outcomes following orthodontic treatment
- Blocking teeth from naturally changing position over time
San Ramon Family Dental Reviews
I had an amazing experience at Dr. Rupam's office! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. The office is clean, modern, and well-organized, and the staff ensures everything runs smoothly. I have been going to various dentist's for the last 30 years. This by far has been the best experience. Thrilled to say I finally found the perfect dentist!!
Dr Khanna and her staff are the absolute best. I have recommended her to so many friends and they all love this practice. The hygienists are thorough and take their time always checking in to make sure you are okay. Dr Khanna is so kind and very straight forward about your check up. She will tell you what she thinks needs to be taken care of right away and what she will keep watching. I always appreciate her honesty. She is so knowledgeable, kind and a true professional while still being so approachable. The staff will always answer any questions you have and take their time to make sure you re comfortable. I will continue recommending this dental group to everyone I know. They make you feel like family.
I recently had three wisdom teeth extracted by Phan and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure care, he was incredibly attentive, professional and genuinely invested in my well-being. He took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel at ease going into the procedure. During the extraction, his expertise and precision were evident, and he ensured I was comfortable throughout. Dr. Phan checked on me same day post extractions and made himself available to me during the weeks after to ensure recovery was going smooth. I highly recommend Dr. Phan to anyone in need of an oral surgeon who truly cares about his patients!
Dr Rupam Khanna is an excellent dentist and is very caring and considerate with her patients.
I would give the team at San Ramon Family Dental a A+ in all categories. Thank you for helping improve my dental health!!
