Do You Love Your Smile?

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

San Diego Cosmetic Dentistry The Hillcrest people who are most happy with their smiles have healthy, straight teeth that sparkle when they laugh. If nature didn’t bless you with attractive teeth, you are not alone. Most perfect smiles you come across in Bankers Hill were not always that way. They are the result of cosmetic dentistry performed by an experienced San Diego aesthetic dentist.

At Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego, Dr. Marcos Ortega DDS provides the state-of-the-art procedures that deliver dazzling, flawless teeth for our cosmetic dentistry clients. We treat patients from 25 to 75. You are never too young or too old to improve your smile; but it will definitely make you feel younger!

Two common smile-killers are yellow enamel and chipped teeth.

Discolored Teeth

Few San Diego people have pearly white smiles that stay that way forever. Even with consistent brushing, flossing and regular dental cleanings, our teeth darken as we age. Fortunately, the most affordable San Diego cosmetic dentistry procedure is tooth bleaching. Picture yourself with a celebrity-caliber smile. It is possible with safe and affordable teeth whitening at Marcos Ortega DDS.

Damaged Teeth

Our teeth work hard for us day after day, year after year. Sometimes they get chipped or cracked in the process. If you would like to fix your tooth flaws, schedule a consultation by calling Marcos Ortega DDS at 619-295-4545. We use porcelain veneers every day to remedy tooth trauma. Cosmetic bonding has been used with fabulous results for many years and bonding is usually a fraction of the price of a crown.

Ask Dentist Ortega which of our San Diego cosmetic dentistry procedures can be completed in one appointment. How about a same-day smile makeover?

If you have never been eager to show your teeth when you smile or laugh, now is the time to change that. Call Marcos Ortega DDS today at 619-295-4545 to schedule a smile design consultation.

San Diego Tooth Whitening For Whiter Smiles When it comes to cosmetic dentistry in San Diego, tooth whitening is one of the easiest and rewarding procedures. There are also a lot of tooth whitening options for those of us in the San Diego area. How do you find a good tooth whitening procedure in San Diego?

I’m Dr. Marcos Ortega, and as a San Diego Dentist, I am not only experienced with tooth whitening procedures, but care about your teeth and your smile.

Most importantly, I can help you assess the condition of your teeth and help you understand what to expect and how to care for your teeth once they are whitened.

Many of our San Diego patients ask about tooth whitening. In fact it is one of our most popular dental procedures. There are many tooth whitening options, ranging from the kind you will perform at home to professional tooth whitening procedures we can do right here in our San Diego dental office.

Advanced Dentistry in San Diego

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Advanced Dentistry in San Diego The world of dentistry continues to advance at a rapid pace. If you have visited a San Diego dentist in the past few years, you have probably noticed the things that make your visit more comfortable, such as the ability to watch TV or listen to music while receiving treatment. Many San Diego dentistry patients welcome oral conscious sedation to reduce or eliminate pain.

What may not be as obvious are the advances in techniques, tools and materials. Top San Diego dentists now use digital computer imaging which is safer than traditional x-rays. Dental technicians can store, retrieve and transmit digital images much easier than was possible with traditional x-ray film.

The use of lasers has also changed the face of dentistry. Laser surgery requires less anesthesia, minimizes swelling, and protects surrounding tissue. San Diego family dentists use lasers for detecting and treating cavities and dental technicians use them for the curing of restorative materials.

Another exciting development in cosmetic dentistry is the CAD-CAM technology that allows Bankers Hill cosmetic dentists to perform restorations in a single visit. The types of procedures that can be completed in one visit include crowns, fillings, inlays, onlays and veneers.

If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, call Marcos Ortega DDS at 619-295-4545 to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, you can see before and after photos of some of our smile makeover clients. We would love to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted, and we have the tools, experience and technology to make that happen.

Why Aren’t You Smiling?

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

San Diego Dentistry Hello, I’m Dentist Dr. Marcos Ortega DDS. My dental practice is called Marcos Ortega DDS. We are located at 306 Walnut Ave., Suite 25 in San Diego (92103), and you can reach us by calling 619-717-8459.

You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the San Diego area. Whether I am working with a Mission Hills or Mission Valley dental patient, having dinner at a Hillcrest restaurant, or attending a Bankers Hill sporting event, I notice whether the people around me smile. Whenever I encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, I want to tell them about the procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.

Are you one of those people who don’t want to show their teeth? I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not seeking dental treatment, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.

Perhaps you are afraid of dental work. Have you ever considered oral conscious sedation? With sedation dentistry, even extensive treatment is virtually pain free. Sedation will calm your mind as well as the nerves in your mouth.

Perhaps the cost of San Diego cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My very comfortable and friendly staff will be happy to talk to you about financing plans. It is important to remember that if your teeth are decayed, postponing treatment will cost more money in the long run. Filling a cavity is far more affordable dentistry than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a dental implant.

You can contact my office at 619-717-8459 or online at http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com. My San Diego family dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.

I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!

San Diego Dentistry Cosmetic at Marcos Ortega DDS

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Cosmetic Denistry in San Diego Do you have a damaged tooth that causes you embarrassment? Even if all your other teeth are nicely shaped and pearly white, guess what other people notice? Yep, the ugly duckling. You have probably experienced that yourself when you have looked at a smile that contains one discolored tooth. No matter how hard you try, the unsightly one is impossible to ignore.

A beautiful smile is an important component of your overall appearance. Unattractive teeth draw the eye away from other pleasing features such as thick shiny hair, gorgeous eyes or a peaches and cream complexion.

Fortunately, there are several cosmetic dental procedures to restore or repair one or more teeth. At Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego, we can complete most of them in one short visit. Think about it; you could achieve a stunning smile in less than an afternoon!

Veneers, Bonding and Cosmetic Implant Dentistry
Dental bonding is an affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure available in San Diego at Marcos Ortega DDS. We use dental bonding in a variety of applications. In addition to repairing damage, dental bonding can close gaps between teeth.

Porcelain veneers are another minimally invasive cosmetic fix. Like cosmetic dental bonding, veneers correct chips, cracks and improve tooth shape.

What if your problem is not an unattractive tooth but a missing tooth? Don’t despair, a beautiful smile is still possible in San Diego with dental implants.

For more information about veneers, bonding, implants and other cosmetic denistry procedures, call Marcos Ortega DDS at 619-717-8459. We are conveniently located at 306 Walnut Ave., Suite 25 in San Diego. We provide advanced dentistry for patients in Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Mission Valley and the surrounding areas. We look forward to showing you cosmetic dentistry ‘before after’ pictures.

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!)
