What Is a Retainer?

Retainers are essential devices used after orthodontic treatment to maintain the alignment of your teeth. Once braces or aligners have successfully straightened your teeth, retainers ensure that your teeth remain in their new positions. They come in various types, including clear retainers, traditional acrylic and wire retainers, and bonded retainers. Each type is designed to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions, preserving the results of your orthodontic treatment.

Why Trust Dr. Qian Chen?

Dr. Qian Chen is highly experienced in orthodontics and dedicated to providing personalized care throughout your retention phase. With a thorough understanding of different retainer options and their benefits, Dr. Qian Chen can recommend the best retainer type for your needs. Their expertise ensures that you receive the most effective treatment to maintain your newly straightened smile and prevent any regression.

This review is long overdue but wanted to express how kind, friendly and helpful the office staff, dental assistants/hygienist and doctor really are. Dr Chen came to my rescue not once but twice with tooth related issues (helping me with an implant I waited years to get at another dentist office and a chipped veneer) and made sure it was done with patience, care and professionalism. The office staff always makes sure to accommodate you in any way they can with scheduling, payments, explaining procedures and price breakdowns. Super kind. Super friendly. Ive been meaning to write this for a while and give a good review because everyone here deserves it. They make you feel comfortable here and you're left feeling confident about the work they put into your smile. See you guys next fri! Lol :)

Excellent service, the staff are all very kind and lovely. Definitely a family friendly dental practice. They work wonderfully with one of my children that has a disability and it’s been a real pleasure having an honest and kind dental practice to take my family to.

I can’t say enough great things about Bayshore Dental Excellence. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated with genuine kindness and care. My dental hygienist is absolutely wonderful, extremely kind, knowledgeable, gentle, and always makes sure I’m comfortable throughout the entire visit. The dentists are just as exceptional. They take the time to listen, explain everything clearly, answer questions, and truly seem invested in doing what is best for your dental health. The front desk staff also deserves recognition. Everyone is incredibly friendly, caring, welcoming, and pleasant, which makes the entire experience, from scheduling to checking out, so easy and comfortable. It’s rare to find a dental office where every single person you interact with makes you feel valued and cared for, but that has consistently been my experience at Bayshore Dental Excellence. I’m extremely grateful to have found such an outstanding team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent dental care in a welcoming and professional environment.

I had to find a new dentist because my dentist retired, I have lots of anxiety when it comes to dental work. Bayshore dental has been wonderful. The office staff is always pleasant and helpful! The dental assistant is fabulous at her job. I couldn’t be happier I found this place.
