Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry in Costa Mesa
How many times have you found yourself scrutinizing your smile in the mirror? Or analyzing your smile in photos on Facebook and Instagram? You’ve probably thought that achieving your perfect smile is simply out of reach, but what you might not know is that there are so many implant & cosmetic dentistry options for improving your smile.
Possessing a strong sense of pride and well-being leads to more smiling and smiling is known to be contagious. People who love their smile tend to be happier, more outgoing, and more successful. Implant & cosmetic dentistry help you achieve these goals by improving the look and health of your smile. So what are you waiting for?
What Treatments are Right for Me?
Common reasons people don’t love their smile include staining, chipped teeth, cracked teeth, small teeth, large teeth, gum recession, gummy smile, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, overlapping teeth, overbite, under bite, and missing teeth. The great news is all of these conditions can be treated right in our Costa Mesa dental office by Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson.
Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are a great long-term solution to replacing missing teeth. We strongly recommend choosing an experienced doctor and an implant made by a reputable company. Remember, cheaper is definitely not better when it comes to your health.
We place dental implants in a 3-step process. During step 1, we place the implant screw into the jaw and allow 3-4 months for the jaw bone to grow in around the screw like a natural tooth root. You will have a temporary tooth during this time.
Next, we place the custom abutment and prep for the permanent crown. The custom abutment is the anchor for the dental crown and made for the specific screw that was placed. In the last step, we cement the permanent crown, all-ceramic, strong, natural-looking tooth, that attaches to the abutment.
Cosmetic Dentistry
There are many procedures that fall under Cosmetic Dentistry so we want to tell you about our top 4 ways to quickly and effectively enhance 
the look of your smile.
Teeth Whitening
We offer 3 types of teeth whitening at our Costa Mesa dental office. Depending on types of staining, condition of teeth, sensitivity level, and budget, we will recommend the best solution to achieve the best results. See Jose R. here and Kathy B. here.
- Take-Home Teeth Whitening Trays
- Epic Laser Teeth Whitening
- Zoom! Teeth Whitening
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is also a great way to quickly repair chips or add size or dimension to a tooth. The bonding procedure is similar to dental fillings in that we use the same composite material and match the composite to your tooth shade for a natural looking repair in just one visit. See Courtney D. here and Alicia M. here.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin-sheets of porcelain that we bond to the front of your tooth. The great thing about dental veneers is that you can change the look, shade, and shape of your smile allowing you to choose the type of smile you want to achieve. The veneers are custom-made just for when and to the specifications you choose with Dr. Jorgenson. See Libby J. here.
Invisalign
Invisalign is also an orthodontic procedure and provides not only a more desirable smile, but a healthier one too! Straight teeth in the correct alignment often resolves many grinding, clenching, TMJ, gum recession, and plaque/tartar issues that result from crooked or misaligned teeth. The Invisalign process starts with a custom treatment plan with custom made trays just for you! The teeth slowly move into the correct position until treatment is complete. With Invisalign you also have the added benefit of being able to take the trays out to eat and to brush your teeth. See Mike P. here.

We love back to school season at Advanced Dental Care — but we also know kids’ dental health can get a little out of whack during August and September. Bruxism, or nighttime teeth grinding, may occur as your child starts to adjust their sleeping schedules to wake up early again. As your child gets back into the figurative grind, make sure their teeth aren’t getting into one, too. Learn more about preventing stress and associated bruxism in this week’s blog post from your dentist in Costa Mesa, 
Emergency Dental Care in Costa Mesa
Did you know that oral cancer affected almost 50,000 Americans last year? This is often a cancer that we don’t think too much about until it affects our lives. Early detection is the key in successfully recovering from oral cancer, and we screen for it at your six-month checkups. April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and in honor of this Dr. Jeremy B. Jorgenson and his team at 
So the day has finally come. Your dentist has told you that one of your teeth is extremely damaged and that you need root canal therapy. You have been dreading this for years. You’ve always heard about how painful root canals are–can’t they just mercifully pull your tooth and be done with it? Actually, the “pain” often associated with the procedure is a complete myth, all thanks to modern dentistry. Root canal therapy is actually one of the best ways to relieve your worst dental pain, not cause it.
