Dental Crown after Root Canal

By Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson

Why may a dental crown be needed after a root canal? Well let’s start by talking about root canals. A root canal may be necessary when your tooth decay has reached the inner pulp or root of your tooth. The infection may be extremely painful or you may not even know the decay has spread to the root. Removing the tooth decay and infection is essential to preventing the spread of the infection to surrounding gum and bone tissue.

When a root canal is necessary, your dentist will use a drill or a laser to take out the decayed enamel, dentin, and the pulp to ensure all of the infected tooth is gone. Depending on how much of the natural tooth structure must be removed, and other factors, will often determine whether a dental crown is needed after a root canal. Generally, when large decay is present, the tooth has been significantly weakened, and when the tooth regularly experiences a lot of pressure (think back molar tooth), a dental crown may be appropriate to restore function.

Treating Your Periodontal Disease

February 8, 2017

You’ve just found out you have Periodontal Disease. Now What?

Don’t worry! The most important thing is knowing about your condition and having a knowledgeable and experienced dental team to get your gums back to optimal health! The Advanced Dental Care team in Costa Mesa, CA has the solutions for you!

Periodontal Disease is an active bacterial infection of the gum tissue in our mouth. Once bacteria has burrowed in between our gum tissue and teeth it begins to flourish. This bacteria inflames our gums and eats away at the bone holding our teeth in place. No good! Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to more systemic inflammation, infections, and eventual tooth loss. At Advanced Dental Care, we provide same day diagnosis and treatment of Periodontal Disease. This may include a combination of Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR), and Oral Irrigation.

Misty Rey RDH Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson Best Dentist in Orange County Advanced Dental Care Costa Mesa You may have not heard of Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), sometimes called a “deep cleaning”. You are not alone! RDH Misty Rey answers all of your questions about Scaling and Root Planing. (more…)

Periodontal Probing and Charting

You may have heard your dental hygienist calling out numbers during your last cleaning appointment.. “2-3-2” “4-3-3” “5-6-4”. If your dental hygienist didn’t explain the procedure to you, this is called Periodontal Probing and Charting or Periodontal Measurements. Periodontal Probing and Charting is one of the hygienist’s most important tools for determining the condition of your gums, what type of cleaning you need, and measuring the success of the treatment on subsequent appointments.

Laser Gum Therapy and Invisalign

Most think of New Year’s Day or Spring as the time for new beginnings, but what better time to start than now. November marks the turn into the winter season and while most of us are usually wrapped up in holiday gatherings and gifts for others, we forget about one very important person.. YOU! We have to take care of ourselves to be able to take care of others the best we can. This starts with total mind and body health, and especially your smile!

epic Diode Laser

Two of the most common conditions in dentistry include Periodontal Disease and Crooked Teeth. Periodontal Disease is an active infection in the gums that must be treated by a professional. A common misconception is that a patient can brush or floss a little extra, but toothbrushes and floss can not reach the bacteria that have now burrowed pockets around our teeth. When left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to a number of other conditions including tooth loss. By using traditional procedures such as Scaling and Root Planing combined with our advanced technology diode lasers and medicinal irrigation we can rid you of the bacteria that is causing the infection!

Tooth Sensitivity – Dr. Jorgenson explains it all!

August 25, 2016

Costa Mesa Dentist Talks Tooth Sensitivity

What causes tooth sensitivity?

Do you experience an occasional zing throughout the day? Sensitivity to hot and cold? Or constant dull, achy pain? These are all signs you are suffering from tooth sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity can be very unpleasant and also be a sign of a more serious dental condition. If you’re experiencing tooth pain, Orange County Dentist Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson can help!

Tooth Sensitivity causing Dental Pain

Tooth sensitivity can come in many forms and from many causes. You can simply be sipping in air, taking a bit of your lunch, or trying to concentrate at work and you notice that something doesn’t feel right. Tooth sensitivity, also called dentin hypersensitivity, can occur when the outer layers of the tooth, the enamel and cementum, become thin and expose the dentin layer underneath. When dentin is exposed, the tooth root and nerve are closer to the surface and more likely to become irritated.

Invisalign – The CLEAR Choice

Whether you’re 4, 40, or 400, it’s always the right time to get a healthier smile with Invisalign! Good dental hygiene habits are essential to maintaining good oral health, but sometimes there is more you can do! Invisalign not only improves the LOOK of your smile, but also improve the HEALTH of your smile! When your teeth are misaligned, you aren’t able to brush and floss to your full potential. You could also be experiencing TMJ or other damage as a result of the alignment of your bite. Invisalign Dentist Costa Mesa

When you brush and floss, you aim to remove the tartar and plaque that builds up on your teeth and cause decay. This is why RDH Lisa Thurm stresses the importance of flossing twice a day! If your teeth are not straight, it makes accessing those hard to reach areas even harder. Invisalign, clear braces, can quickly and easily straighten teeth so you can reach your full health potential.

Improve your smile with Invisalign – Clear Braces

Straight teeth improve oral hygiene and your confidence!

Invisalign, where were you when I was 16? If you had braces as a kid, chances are you went to your Orthodontist every other week to have them churn the brackets tighter, and if you were really lucky, change the color of your bands! I still remember the first day I got braces, I was devastated. At 16, I thought it was social suicide! I only had to wear them for a year, and when I got them off I was so happy that my teeth were straight! Fast forward 15 years. I, like many other people who had braces as a child, stopped wearing my retainers after about 2 years. My teeth haven’t completely reverted, but have shifted quite a bit. Invisalign Clear Braces Dentist Costa Mesa Orange County

Well.. there is hope! No churning of metal, no social or career suicides, and no pubescent band color changing. So put that $10,000 traditional braces money back in your pocket and learn about your new option for straight teeth – Invisalign! Invisalign is the latest method for straightening teeth and much less expensive than traditional braces. The retainers are clear and removable, meaning no one can tell you have them on and you can take them out to eat and brush your teeth. Let’s learn a little bit more about your the treatment process.

Dental crowns can be an excellent solution for a variety of dental conditions. Dental crowns are made from a variety of materials such as metal, porcelain fused to metal, all-porcelain and all-ceramic. Depending on the reason for the crown and where the crown will be placed, we may recommend one type or the other. Dr. Jorgenson prefers to use all-ceramic crowns based on their strength, resilience, and natural aesthetic look. Dr. Jorgenson typically uses Glidewell’s All-Ceramic Lava Zirconia crown.
