What are Dental Appliances?

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental appliance is any custom device that restores, protects, or repositions your teeth. They are grouped into permanent (fixed) and temporary or removable types.

Permanent appliances such as crowns and bridges are fixed in place by your dentist. Removable appliances like dentures and retainers can be taken out for cleaning.

Your dentist decides based on your bite, missing or damaged teeth, and oral health. An exam at Infinite Dental Wellness in Glendale determines the best option for you.

Infinite Dental Wellness in Glendale offers a full range of dental appliances. Our USC-trained husband-and-wife dentists can evaluate your needs and recommend the right fit.

Removable appliances should be cleaned daily and stored properly, while fixed appliances need regular brushing and checkups. Your Glendale dentist will give you specific care instructions.
