			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Advanced Dentistry in San Diego" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_dental-x-ray.jpg" alt="Advanced Dentistry in San Diego" align="right" /></a> The world of dentistry continues to advance at a rapid pace. If you have visited a <a title="San Diego dentist" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/" target="_blank">San Diego dentist</a> 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 <strong><a title="San Diego oral conscious sedation" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/sedation_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">oral conscious sedation</a></strong> to reduce or eliminate pain.</p>
<p>What may not be as obvious are the advances in techniques, tools and materials. <a title="Top San Diego dentist" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/" target="_blank">Top San Diego dentists</a> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Another exciting development in <a title="San Diego cosmetic dentistry" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/cosmetic_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">cosmetic dentistry</a> 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 <a title="San Diego dental crowns" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/crowns_and_bridges.htm" target="_blank">crowns</a>, fillings, inlays, onlays and <a title="San Diego veneers" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/veneers_and_implants.htm" target="_blank">veneers</a>.</p>
<p>If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, <strong>call <a title="Marcos Ortega DDS" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">Marcos Ortega DDS</a> at 619-295-4545</strong> 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="San Diego cosmetic dentist" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/why-frown.jpg" alt="San Diego Dentistry" align="right" /></a> Hello, I&#8217;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 <strong><span class="dynamic-phone-number">619-717-8459</span></strong>.</p>
<p>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 <a title="San Diego beautiful smile" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/cosmetic_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">healthy and beautiful smile</a>.</p>
<p>Are you one of those people who <strong>don&#8217;t want to show their teeth?</strong> I would love to talk to you about a smile makeover. Whatever your excuse is for not <strong>seeking dental treatment</strong>, I can discuss all of your concerns with you during a free consultation.</p>
<p>Perhaps you are afraid of dental work. Have you ever considered <a title="San Diego oral conscious sedation" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/sedation_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">oral conscious sedation</a>? With <strong><a title="San Diego sedation dentistry" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/sedation_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">sedation dentistry</a></strong>, even extensive treatment is <strong>virtually pain free</strong>. Sedation will calm your mind as well as the nerves in your mouth.</p>
<p>Perhaps the cost of <a title="San Diego cosmetic dentistry" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/cosmetic_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">San Diego cosmetic dentistry</a> 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 <strong>affordable dentistry</strong> than a root canal procedure or, in the case of an extracted tooth, a <a title="San Diego dental implant" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/veneers_and_implants.htm" target="_blank">dental implant</a>.</p>
<p>You can contact my office at <strong><span class="dynamic-phone-number">619-717-8459</span></strong> or online at <a title="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com</a>. My San Diego family dental website contains information about all the general, restorative and aesthetic services we provide.</p>
<p>I can transform your smile into one that you will want to show all the time!</p>
<p>Dr. Marcos Ortega</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in San Diego" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_dentist-chair.jpg" alt="Multi-Procedure Dental Visits in San Diego" align="right" /></a> If you are planning extensive <a title="San Diego cosmetic dental work" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/cosmetic_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">cosmetic dental work</a>, you may be wondering whether to do it all at once or one procedure at a time over an extended period. Here are some factors to consider:</p>
<p><strong>Cost</strong><br />
In the long run, It is less expensive to do it all at once. At Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego, we are able to complete several procedures in one visit. We know that <a title="San Diego complete smile transformations" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">complete smile transformations</a> are a significant investment for most San Diego residents. We would be happy to discuss affordable dentistry financing options. <strong>Call us at 619-295-4545</strong> to schedule a no-pressure consultation.</p>
<p><strong>Time</strong><br />
With the latest materials and <a title="San Diego cosmetic dental techniques" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">cosmetic dental techniques</a>, healing times are shorter than ever before. However, some procedures such as bone grafting, soft tissue grafting, root canals, and dental implants often require a short healing period.</p>
<p>It is easier physically and psychologically to have the fewest possible visits to your San Diego dentist. You should also consider how your dental visits and necessary healing periods will impact your employment and family life. You will have less down time if you receive several procedures at once.</p>
<p><strong>Aesthetic Results</strong><br />
While we routinely achieve great outcomes when doing a <a title="San Diego smile makeover" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">smile makeover</a> in steps, porcelain restorations are best fabricated in the same &#8220;batch&#8221; for the most precise color matching.</p>
<p><strong>Sedation Dentistry</strong><br />
When you come in for a smile analysis, we can discuss <a title="San Diego oral sedation dentistry" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/sedation_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">oral sedation dentistry</a>. Many cosmetic dental patients benefit from this safe and effective solution for pain and anxiety management. <a title="San Diego Conscious sedation" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/sedation_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">Conscious sedation</a> is especially helpful for procedures such as multiple wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement.</p>

My office is located at 306 Walnut Ave., Suite 25 in San Diego.   One of the best things about being a San Diego area dentist is interacting with my patients. During initial dental consultations, I listen carefully to my patient’s short and long term dental goals.</p>
<p>I enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of my clients desire a <a title="San Diego total smile makeover" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">total smile makeover</a>. I explain in detail the treatments available including teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontia, crown restoration, and dental implants.</p>
<p>If a client is nervous about undergoing treatment, we discuss oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation, sometimes called <a title="San Diego oral sedation dentistry" href="http://www.mysandiegosmiles.com/sedation_dentistry.htm" target="_blank">oral sedation dentistry</a>, is a great option for anxious patients. Dental visits do not have to be painful!</p>
<p>After the treatment has been completed, it is very gratifying for me to see my patient’s reaction to their new smile.</p>
<blockquote><p>I never get tired of creating dramatic smile transformations for the best clients in California!</p></blockquote>
<p>If you have been considering a <a title="San Diego smile makeover" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">smile makeover</a>, let’s talk about your smile.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Wisdom Teeth And Your San Diego Dentist" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://image.listpipe.com/lp_wisdomteeth2.jpg" alt="Wisdom Teeth And Your San Diego Dentist" align="right" /></a> <a title="San Diego Wisdom teeth" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">Wisdom teeth</a> are the last of the molars (grinding teeth) to erupt from the gum. They usually appear in the late teens and early twenties. Not all people develop these teeth while others have from one to four.</p>
<p>Though some people never experience any problems with these extra molars, many times <a title="Hillcrest wisdom teeth" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">Wisdom teeth</a> can create serious dental complications. If the wisdom teeth do not have the room to develop and erupt normally, they are referred to as impacted wisdom teeth. An impacted tooth may never emerge from the bone and gum, emerge only partially, or come in sideways.</p>
<p>Impacted teeth can damage the adjacent molar, cause infection or trigger gum disease. Sometimes these problems cause no noticeable symptoms for a period of time. To prevent these serious complications, wisdom teeth are often removed.</p>
<p><a title="San Diego Wisdom teeth" href="http://www.MySanDiegoSmiles.com" target="_blank">Wisdom teeth</a> symptoms include pain when opening mouth, gum swelling, bad breath, and pain when chewing. These indicators can be constant or intermittent.</p>
<p>To learn more about wisdom teeth extraction, call 619-295-4545 to schedule an exam with Marcos Ortega DDS. Our very comfortable and friendly dental team can recommend the best course of treatment.</p>
