Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego Hello! I’m Dr. Marcos Ortega, DDS, of Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego.

I have been practicing general and cosmetic dentistry since 1986. Dentistry is a challenging and fascinating profession; dentists must have diagnostic skills, dexterity, extensive scientific knowledge, and good visual memory. Dentistry also requires artistic ability. In addition to the technical aspects of dentistry, I really enjoy interacting with my San Diego dental patients.

I recognize that my clients have other choices in San Diego area dental practices, and I work continually to earn their trust and surpass their expectations.

Each Mission Hills, Mission Valley, and Hillcrest dentistry client is unique. Many of my patients come in twice-yearly for an exam and cleaning. We help them maintain excellent oral health. Some Bankers Hill cosmetic dentistry clients come to me seeking major restorative dental work. It is extremely gratifying to complete a smile makeover and see the client’s reaction when they see the result for the first time.

When I have a pre-treatment consultation with a new Hillcrest dentistry client, it is very informative for both of us. The patient learns the specifics about the possible procedures and I learn about the clients’ goals, concerns and expectations. Then I work with the client to develop a dental treatment plan that fits the patient’s needs, desired outcome and budget.

My dental practice is located at 306 Walnut Ave., Suite 25 in San Diego. If you are looking for an experienced dentist in the San Diego area, call 619-717-8459 to schedule a consultation.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Celebrity Smiles in San Diego

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Veneers in San Diego How do celebrities obtain brilliant white smiles always ready for the red carpet or a close-up? Do they avoid coffee? Not likely. Every star-watching magazine is full of pictures of famous people holding Starbucks cups. Do they avoid tobacco? Some probably do, but many actors and fashion models with dazzling white smiles are smokers.

Very few people (famous and non-famous alike) with perfect teeth were born with them. (…Sure, no one is born with teeth, but you know what I mean.) Celebrities have perfect smiles because they have undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Guess what? You can also have a smile like a supermodel or television news anchor because Dr. Marcos Ortega at Marcos Ortega DDS has as much experience and training in advanced cosmetic dentistry as any Hollywood cosmetic dentist.

Dr. Ortega has been providing smile makeovers for San Diego and Mission Hill dental clients since 1986. Tooth whitening is the most affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure in Hillcrest. Tooth bleaching quickly perks up your teeth and makes you feel like smiling all the time!

Porcelain veneers are used often in Mission Hills and Mission Valley cosmetic dental offices because they correct myriad problems. Veneers remedy misshapen teeth, cracks and chips, and discolored teeth. Teeth that have been worn down extensively can also be repaired with veneers. Preparing a tooth for a porcelain veneer is minimally invasive. The latest veneers do not require the removal of healthy enamel. Another plus: veneers are usually less expensive than complete crowns!

Tooth bleaching and veneers are just two of the many cosmetic dental procedures performed at Marcos Ortega DDS. Schedule a San Diego cosmetic dental consultation today by calling 619-717-8459. At our office, you will always receive VIP treatment, without the annoying paparazzi!

We look forward to helping you achieve a celebrity smile.

(Note that the celebrities pictured above are not affiliated with our site; they just have great smiles!)

Your California Dentist And Cleaning Your Teeth

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Your California Dentist And Cleaning Your TeethCalifornia is known for its beautiful smiles, and our local San Diego community is no exception. Keeping your teeth clean is an important factor in maintaining your beautiful San Diego smile. One of the benefits of regularly visiting your local San Diego California dentist is a thorough teeth cleaning and a review of your brushing habits.

Our San Diego dental hygienist helps you keep your teeth clean by assessing the condition of your teeth, and recommending improvements to your daily teeth cleaning habits. Our San Diego oral hygienist can also professionally clean and polish your teeth at your regular San Diego dental check up. You should schedule a regular dental check up every six months.

I am a and I work at Marcos Ortega DDS located in the state of California. We specialize in cosmetic and sedation dentistry in the San Diego California community, including the surrounding areas of Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Mission Valley.

Cleaning your teeth in California is the simple task of removing plaque (a sticky deposit that gets left on teeth in which bacteria thrives) and tartar (a calcium deposit that forms on teeth and aids in tooth decay). This is done by brushing regularly with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and flossing. Brushing and flossing at least twice each day can keep plaque and tartar from building up on your teeth and results in cleaner, healthier teeth. A regular visit to your local San Diego dental hygienist will help you stay on top of problems that can go unseen.

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting your local San Diego, California dentist at least once every 6 months for a regular dental check up and teeth cleaning. These regular visits to your California dentist potentially prevent the undetected development of problems that can occur from neglecting to clean your teeth.

To keep that beautiful San Diego California smile in good shape, come in for a dental check up and teeth cleaning.

Call Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego California to make an appointment. You can reach us right now at 619-295-4545.

Dr. Marcos Ortega
