Cosmetic Dentistry
San Diego Cosmetic Dental Expertise
Cosmetic dentistry is a great way to both improve your smile and your self-confidence. Cosmetic dentist Dr. Marcos Ortega offers many cosmetic dental options to San Diego area patients.
At our cosmetic dentistry office we do not use metal fillings. Instead, we apply composite fillings made of thin, durable, tooth-colored resin to fill in teeth that have been injured or that have cavities.You can now replace those old metal colored fillings with tooth colored products. Ask us how we can give your mouth a fresh, new look that feels as if it has never been touched by a cavity, filling or crown.
Teeth that are missing, chipped, cracked or worn can be perfectly restored with cosmetic dentistry using ultra thin, specially made laminates, porcelain veneers or composite bonding. Either option can close gaps or disguise discolored teeth that do not respond well to teeth whitening procedures.
Making teeth straight and beautiful with orthodontics is one of the most exciting and rewarding procedures in cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic Imaging allows us to do a simulation of how you could look -- Imagine being able to design your own new smile. Well, that's just what cosmetic dental imaging is all about. First, a picture of your existing smile is taken. Then a computer is used to enhance the image and create your dream smile. Finally, the image of your smile can be viewed on the monitor.
More and more patients place value on healthy and attractive teeth. In order to maintain them, the earliest possible care is essential. DIAGNOdent helps with early detection. Even very small lesions are detected at the earliest stage, enabling us to protect and preserve the tooth substance.
We believe it is extremely important that we provide our San Diego patients with the finest cavity diagnosis possible. We use the painless Diagnodent digital cavity detection system.
Invisalign® also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your beautiful, straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. These "invisible braces" use a series of clear aligners to adjust and align your teeth. Invisalign is available at our San Diego office.
