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!

Dr. Marcos Ortega

San Diego, California Residents Visit the Dentist

Friday, February 26th, 2010

San Diego, California Residents Visit the DentistWhether you have lived in California for a long time, or just moving in to the San Diego area; taking care of your teeth eventually involves a visit to the dentist. We are Marcos Ortega DDS located at 306 Walnut Ave., Suite 25 in San Diego, California, and our specialty is cosmetic and sedation dentistry.

You can reach Marcos Ortega DDS by calling 619-295-4545.

Going to the dentist for the first time in San Diego, or if you have not been for while, can be an unsettling experience for both kids and adults. The very idea of a ‘dentist’ seems to hold negative connotation for many people. If you are an adult who is moving to the San Diego area, or your child is preparing to visit the dentist for the first time, here are a few tips that may help ease you into regular dental checkups and put you on the path toward increased oral health and wellness.

Choose an San Diego dentist who is appropriate for your needs. When you meet your new San Diego dentist for the first time, make an effort to ask questions about the care you will receive. Ask questions that are relevant to your situation including questions about experience, age range of patients, and recommended procedures for any conditions you may have. Get to know your dentist so you feel comfortable with the care you will receive.

Introduce yourself to your San Diego dentist and get to know the office staff. Visiting the dentist in San Diego will seem less of a chore when you feel you have trusted friends who are there to help.

Be prepared to provide your dentist with information. Whether you are experiencing specific pain at that moment, or anticipating a problem, be sure to discuss everything with your dentist. Many patients become intimidated in the office environment and avoid expressing pain or discussing issues. As your dentist, I need to know everything you are experiencing and will be better prepared to help as you ask questions and express your concerns.

I understand that everyone is unique; what works for one person may not work for another. You know what works best for you, and the best way to have a good experience with your dentist is to communicate. Let me know what you are experiencing so that I can make adjustments and help you feel more comfortable and secure.

At Marcos Ortega DDS our very comfortable and friendly staff will work to make your dental experience a pleasant one. We know it can be frightening to visit the dentist for the first time, or after a long while. We’ll do what we can to make you feel comfortable, secure, and among caring friends.

If you are in San Diego, California and are ready to visit the dentist again, give us a call at 619-295-4545, or stop by to meet us; we’re excited to meet you.

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!
