Removal of Wisdom teeth
A common practice after straightening of the teeth by the orthodontists is to have the wisdom teeth or impacted third molars removed. In Seattle cosmetic dentistry office of Dr. Samsavar we specialize in straightening the teeth using invisalign or invisible braces to line up crowded front teeth. The justification for the practice of removing wisdom teeth after orthodontics is to prevent crowding of the lower front teeth later on. One of the most basic indications for doing invisalign in our bellevue seattle dental office is to line up the crowded lower front teeth. Latest studies suggest that there are no evidence to support this. In other words there are no reliable evidence one way or the other to recommend removal of the impacted third molars as long as they remain asymotomatic. There is also no evidence to support removal of the third molars in adolescents, when the aim is prevention of lower incisor crowding following orthodontic treatment. A common practice in our cosmetic dental office is to offer patients to wear a retainer after having cosmetic veneers placed on their teeth. As a Seattle cosmetic dentist we can guarantee that the laminates, veneers, cosmetic restoration, bondings and white veneeers placed on these front teeth are protected. This retainers also help patients in our Seattle, Bellevue cosmetic dental office to keep their teeth straight after porcelain veneers are placed.
