Dental Retainers Process
Initial Consultation: Your journey to maintaining a straight smile begins with a consultation. During this visit, we assess your teeth, discuss your retention needs and take digital scans or impressions to create a custom-fit retainer.
Custom Fabrication: The digital scans or impressions are sent to a specialized dental lab, where your retainer is crafted using high-quality, durable materials to ensure long-term effectiveness and comfort.
Fitting Appointment: Once your custom retainer is ready, you’ll return for a fitting appointment. Our team will ensure that it fits securely and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to provide the best possible fit and function.

Next Steps
Maintain Proper Cleaning: Gently brush your retainer with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material.
Store Safely: Always keep your retainer in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage or loss.
Attend Regular Checkups: Schedule routine dental visits to monitor your oral health and ensure that your retainer remains in good condition.
Watch for Wear and Fit Issues: If your retainer feels loose or tight or shows signs of wear, contact our office for an adjustment or replacement.
