Sedation Dentistry in San Diego

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Sedation Dentistry in San Diego Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your San Diego dentist office holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite California radio station. A woman clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.

As you read this, does your heart start to race? Are your palms sweaty?

If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients in San Diego every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of San Diego dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.

Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule a visit with Dr. Marcos Ortega to learn about conscious sedation dentistry.

Let’s Talk About Your Smile

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Let’s Talk About Your Smile I’m Dr. Marcos Ortega of Marcos Ortega DDS. 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.

I enjoy discussing options and developing effective treatment plans tailored specifically to each person. Some of my clients desire a total smile makeover. I explain in detail the treatments available including teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontia, crown restoration, and dental implants.

If a client is nervous about undergoing treatment, we discuss oral conscious sedation. Oral conscious sedation, sometimes called oral sedation dentistry, is a great option for anxious patients. Dental visits do not have to be painful!

After the treatment has been completed, it is very gratifying for me to see my patient’s reaction to their new smile.

I never get tired of creating dramatic smile transformations for the best clients in California!

If you have been considering a smile makeover, let’s talk about your smile. Call Marcos Ortega DDS at 619-295-4545 to schedule a cosmetic dentistry consultation.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Oral Conscious Sedation Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Oral sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, oral conscious sedation can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider oral conscious sedation if you have any of the following issues:

  • Strong gag reflex
  • Fear of needles
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • A history of negative dental experiences
  • Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related condition
  • Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call at 619-295-4545. We can give you more information about sedation options and help you determine which one is right for you. At Marcos Ortega DDS we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.

Serving San Diego dental patients since 1986.

Creating Beautiful Smiles At Marcos Ortega DDS in San Diego

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Creating beautiful San Diego smiles at Marcos Ortega DDS I am glad you found our blog! I’m Dr. Marcos Ortega, DDS, of Marcos Ortega DDS, a full-service dental practice in San Diego. I am a proud member of the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation. My profession is dentistry, but my passion is providing superior and affordable San Diego dental care for my patients. I began serving California cosmetic dentistry patients in the San Diego area back in 1986. Since that time, my profession has undergone dramatic changes which have benefited my teeth whitening patients and tooth restoration patients in Hillcrest, Mission Hills and Mission Valley.

My specialty in San Diego is cosmetic and sedation dentistry, but I also perform many porcelain veneers, dental crowns and Invisalign invisible braces for my Hillcrest, Mission Hills and Mission Valley patients.

I know my San Diego dentistry clients have many choices for their dental care, and we work hard every day to surpass expectations.

I build long-term relationships with my Bankers Hill, Mission Valley and Mission Hills cosmetic dentistry patients. I constantly educate myself on the latest procedures to determine what is truly innovative and what is merely a gimmick. My cosmetic dentistry patients appreciate the time I take to thoroughly analyze their total oral health. My staff enjoys keeping my San Diego family dentistry practice running smoothly so I can concentrate on what I do best—serving my patients!
