- Sedation Dentistry | Gentle Dental Care | Jeff Kindseth DDS
General and cosmetic dentistry in california, near orange county in Dana Point. Dr. Jeff Kindseth has been practicing cosmetic dentisty in california for ... Sedation Dentistry If you’re considering having your next dental procedure completed under sedation, nitrous oxide is a perfect choice. The safe, inhaled sedative offers the advantage of a relaxed experience while remaining fully conscious throughout your entire appointment. Typically referred to as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide has safely been used by dentists and doctors for decades. When combined with pure oxygen and inhaled through the nose, it helps to reduce pain receptors and overall anxiety during dental treatment. It’s also safer and easier to use than heavier sedation medications. Although you’re still aware of everything going on, you just won’t seem to care as much. Some people even tend to get the giggles, hence the nickname, laughing gas. What to Expect if You’re Getting Nitrous Oxide for the First Time Having sedation with nitrous oxide only adds about 10-15 minutes to the length of your dental appointment. Before any treatment is started, you’ll have a soft nosepiece set in place for you to breathe through. Within a few minutes, you’ll start to feel a warm, tingling sen sation throughout your body (most noticeably, your fingers or toes.) If you need a restorative treatment such as a filling or crown, your tooth will still be numbed with local anesthetic. Fortunately, getting the small injection is quite easy and insignificant, as the nitrous oxide gas has already taken effect in the few minutes leading up to the procedure. Although you will feel at ease, these sedation patients can fully communicate with our dental team for the entire duration of the appointment. Once your actual treatment is completed, the nitrous gas will be shut off and you’ll breath 100% oxygen for about 5-10 minutes as the analgesic wears off. In fact, the effects are fully reversible and you can drive yourself home immediately following the procedure. Who is the Ideal Candidate for Sedation Dentistry? With nitrous oxide, you have flexible options to make your experience as comfortable as necessary. Whether you plan the appointment with laughing gas well in advance, or want to request it at the time of your appointment, its ease of use and proven safety make it the perfect choice for our patients that are looking to “take the edge off.” You may want to ask for nitrous sedation if… You’re having a longer procedure scheduled — such as a root canal — and are a bit uneasy about how things will feel during the process. You’re getting your very first filling. We’re treating your child and you want to ensure that they’re as comfortable as possible. You’ve had a previous history of uncomfortable dental experiences, and going to the dentist generally makes you feel nervous. You want to remain conscious during the procedure, rather than fully sedated. You need to drive yourself to and from the appointment. During a scheduled procedure, you start to feel slightly nervous and want something extra to help you relax. You are just coming back to the dentist after an extended hiatus, and you’re anxious about the visit. The affordable and safe nature of laughing gas makes it the perfect choice for adult and pediatric patients alike. We feel so strongly about how useful and comfortable nitrous oxide is, that it’s the preferred form of dental sedation that we use in our practice. The only times when it is contraindicated, are instances of nasal congestion (because you need to be able to breathe out of your nose) or severe egg allergies, as a molecular component in nitrous oxide can trigger similar stimuli in extremely rare cases. Don’t push your oral health aside for another day. If you’ve been putting off your next dental appointment because of how you’re expecting it to feel, request nitrous oxide sedation!

- Cosmetic Dentistry | Jeff Kindseth DDS | Dana Point
General and cosmetic dentistry in california, near orange county in Dana Point. Dr. Jeff Kindseth has been practicing cosmetic dentisty in california for ... Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Makeovers While every smile makeover and cosmetic experience is unique, you may find that combining some of the following options help you to achieve the results that you’re looking for: Teeth Whitening — Erase years of tooth stain for a brighter, fresher, more youthful glow. If you smoke, drink coffee, red wine, or tea, there’s a good chance you have quite a bit of stain buildup that’s collected inside of your enamel that can’t be polished off during a cleaning. Professional teeth whitening can erase more stains than over-the-counter kits and in less time. Our dentists recommend whitening your teeth prior to other cosmetic treatments so that your new restorations can be made to match the whiter shade of your enamel. Custom Dental Veneers — Also known as “instant braces,” we use veneers to correct the appearance of teeth that look crooked, misshaped, short, uneven, or are severely discolored. The process takes about two visits to complete. Each set of veneers are handcrafted for a customized shape and design. They’re one of the most dramatic and instantaneous ways to transform how your smile looks. Dental Bonding — Have a small chip in your tooth? A mild gap in the front of your smile? Bonding is ideal when minor problems cause big flaws in your entire smile’s appearance. We can use it to recreate your tooth structure or fill in small atypical areas to give your smile a seamless appearance. There’s little to no preparation necessary and your tooth may not even need to be numbed. White Fillings — Tooth decay doesn’t mean that you need a mouth full of silver fillings to correct the problem. Our experts use minimally invasive composite restorations that blend in with your surrounding tooth structure, leaving your smile healthier and beautiful at the same time. We can even change out your old silver fillings with ones that match your teeth. Implants for Missing Teeth — Are missing teeth the underlying problem when it comes to your smile’s appearance? With dental implants topped off with a porcelain crown or bridge, we can fill in the gaps with a solution that looks and feels as great as the real thing. Implants can be used to replace single or multiple teeth (or even your entire smile with Teeth in a Day.) Porcelain Crowns — When your tooth is damaged beyond the point of repairing it with a small filling, a full coverage crown is the best solution. Crowns cover your tooth above the gumline, protecting weak areas while also enhancing your smile’s appearance. Our digital impressions allow for the most accurate fit and less time spent between treatment appointments. They’re useful for restoring badly damaged teeth as well as on top of implants when replacing a missing tooth. Get a Customized Smile Makeover Plan! At Dana Point Dental, we tailor your experience to meet your concerns, future goals, and budget. No one smile makeover is the same from one person to the next. We know what your goals are and we’ll help you to achieve them. During your consultation, we’ll talk about what it is you like or dislike about your smile, and what you want to change. Then we’ll discuss what options are available to help you address those concerns. In many cases, you have more than one choice. What to Expect During Treatment Depending on the type of cosmetic dentistry that you choose, you may need to book anywhere from one to two or three appointments a t our office in Dana Point, CA. As we review your treatment plan, we’ll talk about which teeth or therapies are addressed at each visit, approximately how long they will take, and all of the costs involved. At the time of your treatment we’ll take every step to keep you as comfortable as possible. We are comfortable treating even the most anxious of patients…we put ourselves in your shoes and do everything we can to make your experience with us one that’s positive. An Investment in Yourself Making a great first impression is always important, especially if you’re looking to start a new career, get a promotion, or are planning for the wedding of your dreams. Not a detail goes unnoticed: your hair, your clothes, your waistline…but your smile is an accessory that you’ll wear every day for the rest of your life. Feeling great about the way your teeth look will help you feel comfortable showing them off more often. Studies show that the more a person smiles, the friendlier they appear and the better impressions that they make. Some research even suggests that people with whiter, straighter teeth are usually more likely to have higher salaries. Take that information as you want, but we think that investing in your teeth is a great way to enhance your lifestyle! Affordable Dana Point Smile Makeovers Contact our cosmetic dentist in Dana Point today to schedule a consultation to get started. At the very least you owe it to yourself to find out what options are available. Call us today to learn more.

- Teeth Extractions | Jeff Kindseth DDS in Dana Point
General and cosmetic dentistry in california, near orange county in Dana Point. Dr. Jeff Kindseth has been practicing cosmetic dentisty in california for ... Tooth Extractions Having a tooth pulled is a significant step to preserving your smile’s overall health and integrity. Depending on which teeth are being extracted, the procedure can be a relatively simple one. After numbing the area around your tooth — and offering any additional sedation, such as nitrous oxide — you’ll be able to feel comfortable and confident that the extraction is straightforward and gentler than you expected. Why Should I Pull My Tooth? The only way to know for sure whether or not you need to have your tooth pulled, is to schedule an exam and X-ray. Once we have all of the necessary information on hand, we can help you make an informed decision about your situation. Depending on your unique dental needs, there are usually only a few reasons why a tooth is extracted instead of being restored: The Tooth is Non-Restorable — The most common reason for our dentist to recommend pulling a tooth is if it is no longer restorable. No filling, crown, or root canal is going to be able to save the limited healthy tooth structure that still exists. Rather than attempt to fix the tooth and hope it takes, removing it altogether is the standard of care. For Orthodontic Purposes — It’s not as common these days, but some orthodontic patients do need to have teeth extracted to make more “room” inside of their mouth. Larger teeth in a smaller jaw, for instance, can contribute to unwanted crowding. Impacted Wisdom Teeth — Occasionally, there will not be enough space inside the jaw for the final set of molars — otherwise known as wisdom teeth — to erupt properly. When they become impacted against other teeth, it can lead to infections, tooth damage, or changes in the bite alignment. Advanced Gum Disease — Without healthy gums and bone to support teeth, loss of attachment leads to them becoming mobile and sore. The infected areas around them can lead to subsequent infections. Removing teeth from severely infected areas can prevent additional tooth loss. Planning for Full Mouth Reconstruction — When only a few natural teeth remain, it’s up to the patient and his or her dentist to decide if it’s in their best interest to create a full denture. If so, any remaining teeth will need to be extracted before a “plate” fits into the mouth. Emergency Tooth Removal If you’ve ever experienced a severe toothache, it’s likely one of the most painful situations that you’ve ever found yourself in. The throbbing pain can make it impossible to work through or even go about normal daily activities. All you can think about is getting the tooth out. Although it’s usually preferable to save your tooth through some type of therapeutic or restorative methods, there are also situations when pulling the tooth is best. Especially if you need emergency pain relief. Same day tooth extractions can help you eliminate the discomfort and start on the road to recovery. After the Extraction: Tooth Replacement Once a tooth has been removed, the teeth next to or opposi te it can start to drift out of alignment. This may be due to not having a neighboring tooth to keep it in place, or because there is not one to bite against. Gradually, other teeth in the mouth move as well. If you’ve had braces in the past or other dental work, changes in yo ur bite can jeopardize the time you’ve invested. In most cases, it’s best to replace your missing tooth as soon as possible. Depending on the location and your extracted tooth, replacement options include treatments like bridges, dental implants , or dentures. We’ll help you find a solution that fits your long-term smile goals and budget. Contact our office today for immediate assistance, or to schedule a dental exam.

- Pediatric Dentistry | Jeff Kindseth DDS in Dana Point
General and cosmetic dentistry in california, near orange county in Dana Point. Dr. Jeff Kindseth has been practicing cosmetic dentisty in california for ... Dental Care For Children One of the best parts of finding a great family dentist is that everyone — mom, dad, and children alike — can be seen in the same location. Not only is this convenient for our patients, it also helps us to get to know your family better and look after your child’s smile as he or she grows up. What Happens During These Early Visits? Our ultimate goal during pediatric dental exams is to screen for developing issues that may impact your child’s health, speech, diet, and orofacial anatomy. Through early screening and intervention, it’s possible for us to help you reduce the risk of issues like: Undiagnosed tooth decay or abscessed teeth Dental emergencies Malocclusion (misalignment of the teeth and jaws) Premature tooth loss Alterations to developing adult teeth As parents, it’s normal for us to wonder why baby teeth need to be treated or restored, if they’re only going to fall out a few years later. In short, it’s because decay can spread rapidly through baby teeth, causing unnecessary toothaches, abscesses, hospitalizations, and tooth loss. When a baby tooth is lost prematurely, it can permanently impact the way adult teeth erupt into the mouth. The Importance of Pediatric Dentistry A child’s smile has a huge impact on the development of their adult teeth. Early cavities, habits (such as thumb sucking) or athletic injuries during later years can play huge roles in the overall health a nd development of their teeth. By bringing your child to a family dentist early, you’re instilling a positive perception of dental care. Waiting until they’re in pain will only make going to the dentist feel like something that’s linked with negative memories or even scary. A positive experience affects your child’s entire perception of how they will envision trips to the dentist once they get older. Types of Dental Treatment for Kids Some of the most common types of pediatric dental treatments that our family dentist offers, include: Exam and Cleaning — Your child’s routine dental check-up will include a cleaning and exam. During these appointments, we will also discuss smart diet choices and review proper oral hygiene habits. Digital X-rays — By seeing through and between areas not visible during a visual exam, we can pinpoint cavities in their earliest developmental stages. X-rays are also vital to assessing orofacial development, screening for missing teeth, diagnosing cysts, etc. Protective Sealants — Smooth, clear coatings in the deep grooves and pits of adult molars (back teeth) make teeth easier to clean and block out cavity-causing germs. No numbing is necessary! Fillings — Modest white fillings are minimally invasive and prevent decay from expanding deeper into the tooth. Early treatment is vital, as decay can also “jump” or spread to adjacent teeth. Crowns and Pulp Treatments — Placing a crown over damaged baby teeth helps to extend the length of time that they stay in place. Pulp capping or pulpotomies are a pediatric version of root canal treatment, which is sometimes necessary. Extractions and Space Maintainers — Non-restorable or severely decaying teeth are often removed to eliminate pain and the spread of infection. If the tooth is still serving as a place-holder for a developing adult tooth, a space maintenance device may also be necessary. Orthodontic Evaluations — A child’s bite is ever evolving. By age 7, we can start to determine if any type of interceptive orthodontics or growth modification will be necessary. If they are, we can refer you to an orthodontic specialist at that time. We also offer in-office Invisal ign treatment (the clear braces solution). By Age One or the First Tooth Pediatricians and pediatric dentists agree: children shou ld have their first dental visit by their first birthday or when the first tooth erupts.

- Clear Aligners | Straighten Your Smile | Jeff Kindseth DDS in Dana Point
General and cosmetic dentistry in california, near orange county in Dana Point. Dr. Jeff Kindseth has been practicing cosmetic dentisty in california for ... Cosmetic Dentistry & Smile Makeovers Invisalign ® is a clear alternative to straighten your teeth. Convenient and practically invisible, adults and teens will appreciate the comfort and results Invisalign® provides. For a limited time only, Dr. Kindseth is offering $200.00 off on the Invisalign® system. Look and feel your best and SAVE $200.00! Call (949) 661-2152 for a consultation. SAVE: $200.00 Invisalign - The Clear Alternative to Conventional Dental Braces For those with crooked teeth who are longing to get the smile they’ve always wanted but want to avoid the look of traditional braces, the innovative Invisalign system has proven to be a popular option at the dental office of Dr. Kindseth. With an ever-increasing demand for inconspicuous teeth straightening, we see the Invisalign system continuing to grow in popularity. Compared with conventional non-removable metal braces, Invisalign gives youngsters – and adults – more freedom to get on with their lives than ever before, and this high level of convenience make these removable aligners very desirable. Easy to put in and take out, they are clear plastic (BPA- Free) and virtually invisible, with smooth edges to reduce irritation of the gums and cheeks. Compared to conventional glue on metal braces, the easy to remove Invisalign trays give easier access to your teeth for brushing and flossing. This tends to reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum tissue inflammation known as gingivitis. Additionally, the odds of having any type of sensitivity the plastic are very minimal. A further benefit of the Invisalign system is the ability to remove them whenever you want. That being said, they do need to be worn ideally a minimum of 22 hours a day, but during special occasions they can be removed for longer periods of time and still produce a fantastic result. The Invisalign system gently moves your teeth through a series of carefully regulated and timed movements, so only certain teeth move, little by little, with each aligner. And, each aligner is pre-programmed with these movements optimized to provide the best outcome possible.
