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.
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.

We’re here when you need us most. Emergency Dentist on call 24/7.

Advanced Dental Care is partnering with the American Heart Association this February to celebrate National Heart Month!
All month long we will be bringing awareness of heart health and the link to your oral health. Maintaining good oral health can directly affect your heart health and vice versa. Sometimes we see that if a patient presents with active periodontal disease, they also have been diagnosed with high blood pressure or another heart disease. This is because the body is a system, and every subsystem is interconnected.
One of the main indicators of our oral and overall health is our gums. Regular exams by your dentist and hygienist can help detect abnormalities early on. Periodontal disease, for example, progresses in stages and when caught early can be treated more easily.
When bacteria builds up on teeth and migrates below the gum line, the bacteria can irritate the gums causing early stage periodontal disease. When left untreated by a dental professional, the disease can quickly and easily progress to more advanced stages creating pockets. Pockets above 3mm in depth are cause for concern. Like all dental disorders, the sooner the condition can be treated, the better case for successful recovery.

I wanted to write a blog post about my recent wisdom teeth removal experience. When I was younger, I had a gap in between my two front teeth. I was always told that when my wisdom teeth came in the gap would close itself. However, around age 16, my wisdom teeth still had not come in. I went through a dramatic and socially devastating 9 month traditional braces treatment in 10th grade, but my gap was finally closed. At some point in my 20s, I grew two wisdom teeth on the top only. At first they did not bother me, but since I did not have bottom wisdom teeth, the top ones super-erupted and were longer than my regular molars.
Wisdom Teeth
Over the last few years as long work days and stress increased, I began grinding my teeth at night and clenching which cause the super-erupted molars to dig into my cheeks and gums. Just before Christmas, our hygienist Lisa Thurm was cleaning my teeth and informed me that I had two large cavities on each of my wisdom teeth. I told her that I had no idea, because I hadn’t experienced any pain, and that it was hard to get my toothbrush back there. The last straw was during the holidays. My jaw, teeth, and cheeks had just about had it. I finally asked Dr. Jorgenson if he could pull them for me. I help patients with wisdom teeth removal all the time, but never had experienced it myself. I have heard of many different experiences from wisdom teeth removal that seemed extreme and unpleasant; however, I knew I was in excellent hands with Dr. Jorgenson. I wasn’t nervous, but at the same time wasn’t sure what to expect.

November is one of our most favorite months of the year! The air is cool, crisp, and refreshing and the buzz of the summer starts to slow down. It’s a time for us to reflect on what we are thankful for and a chance for us to give back to our family, friends, and community. Dr. Jorgenson and the Advanced Dental Care team were busy supporting several causes that are particularly important to us! Read below to find out more! (more…)

It’s Halloween Week and The Walking Dead is back on air. Naturally it is a very spooky time of year. As part of our Dentalween Scare week we have been posting scary, but real dental conditions on our social media accounts to spread awareness of dental disease and conditions. Most dental conditions can be prevented with regular check-ups with your dentist and hygienist. Keeping and attending your regularly prescribed appointments of 3, 4, or 6 months can save you pain and money. (more…)
We couldn’t have done it without you! It has been an amazing year getting to open our own dental practice and meet all of our amazing patients and community members. Having been in Southern California for about 10 years now, we have never experienced the warmth and kindness we have in our Orange County community.
Opening and owning your own business is a huge task (as we’ve learned), but the reward from our line of work is one of the most rewarding experiences anyone could ever have at a job. Our patients welcomed us with open arms and open hearts when Dr. Jorgenson took over the practice last July. We were eager to meet everyone and also to show our patients a different dental experience than they may have had in the past. Dr. Jorgenson has a pretty simple philosophy when it comes to dentistry and patient care. He always ensures that our staff is prepared for the patient’s visit as best as possible before they arrive and goes to extra lengths to accommodate any special requests our patients might have (like no cold water, wants to listen to 90s pop music only, is nervous and needs extra TLC, etc.). When patients are in our office, they are our number one priority. You will be greeted by our front office staff and get settled in by one of our Registered Dental Assistants Jayme, Rose, or Brittany.
