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…)
October is National Dental Hygiene Month and we are celebrating all month long! Where would we be without all the awesome, spectacular, fantastic hygienists in the world? We’d have less than perfect smiles that’s for sure! If you’ve been to our office, then you’ve had the pleasure of meeting the world’s best Registered Dental Hygienist Lisa Thurm! (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.

Humans are designed to use their senses to detect, explore, and understand the outside world and ourselves. We often follow the seeing is believing manta, but when it comes to health we have to rely on our providers and advanced tools to help us detect disease. Many painful and urgent dental situations can be avoided by routine brushing and flossing, a healthy diet, and REGULAR check-ups at your dentist. Just because you have a white smile doesn’t mean what’s lurking beneath isn’t harmful! And more importantly, once you think something is wrong you often require professional help to return your mouth to a state of health and happiness. (more…)

Bad breath is the unpleasant side effect of the active bacteria in our mouths, foods we eat, smoking/tobacco use, poor dental health, and other medical conditions. More often than not, bad breath can be kept under control by regular brushing and flossing, including after meals. If you notice you are experiencing bad breath more frequently, this may be a sign of an underlying issue such as periodontal (gum) disease, infection, dry mouth caused by medication or mouth breathing, or diseases including acid reflux, liver disorders, kidney disorders, diabetes, cancers, etc. (more…)
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. You can read more about Glidewell’s product here. (more…)

We wanted to take this opportunity to tell the rest of the world more about Jayme and why she makes our office a better place by having her in it! (more…)
Just like all other medical fields, prevention is truly the best way to approach dentistry. Every patient is different, has a different genetic make-up, a different diet, different daily habits, etc. No matter all of the differences we have, we can all still take the necessary steps to help prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
