Clear Dental Braces Dentist

Invisible OrthodonticsClear Dental Aligners - Straighten Teeth

You will be pleased to know we offer invisible aligners to straighten your teeth, both Invisalign™ and ClearCorrect™. In just 9 - 15 months, you can have straight teeth and no one will even know you are wearing aligners. In just a short time, they correct the problems of crossbite, overbite, or underbite, and overcrowding or widely gapped teeth.

You spend less time on dental appointments, as every two weeks we change the custom-made aligners. With each new aligner, your teeth are gently moved into position to result in the beautiful smile you have always wanted. Patients are quite impressed with this approach as they work so well in such a short amount of time, and are invisible and removable for cleaning. It is a simpler and easier technique than the wires, brackets, headgear, and food restrictions of regular braces.

Wine Tasters, Beware

Wine tasters may be at high risk for enamel stain and erosion.

Why? Sipping wine many times a day -- and swishing it in the mouth -- increases the enamel's exposure to damaging acids.

That’s why it's better to drink a glass of wine, soda, or sweet tea with a meal instead of sipping it over several hours.

Sedation Dentistry

Are You Nervous or Fearful Dental Sedation - Relaxed Dentistry El Cajon About Your Dental Visit? You Won’t Be Anymore!

You may be one of the many who stay away from dental offices because of the fear and anxiety from a dentist’s drills, needles, and treatments that take too long. But now, you can say goodbye to such an anxious experience as we offer you conscious sedation dentistry. It is easy and effective. One hour before your appointment you take a pill we have previously given you. When you arrive for your appointment, you will feel quite relaxed. As you sit in the dental chair, progressively you will reach a deeper level of sedation where you are still conscious and able to answer questions asked by the doctor. Throughout your treatment, you are monitored. When your procedure is completed, someone will need to drive you home and in just an hour, you will be back to your normal alertness.

Your level of sedation is less than what is required for surgery. This alternative is for fearful patients – not just fear of dentistry but fear of being unconscious and letting go of control. But conscious sedation lets you be aware of what’s happening without the anxiety or fear of treatment.

We also offer this type of sedation for those who cannot get numb with anesthesia or for those who do not have time for repeated visits to the dentist and would like more work done in a longer appointment. Another alternative for some patients is nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to take care of problems in just one visit!

Your Mouth Is Not a Bottle Opener!

Your mother was right: Never open bottles, packages, or other containers with your teeth. You might permanently chip or crack the enamel.

Gnawing on anything else -- like pens or fingernails -- or chomping down on seeds, popcorn kernels, or ice could have the same result.

Foods That Stain Your Teeth: Tea and Your Teeth

Although tea has a reputation as a healthy beverage, it may not be the best choice when it comes to keeping your teeth white. Dentists say tea -- especially the basic black variety -- can cause more stains than coffee. However, recent studies have found that even herbal teas and white teas have the potential to erode enamel and cause tooth staining.
