Smile Makeover - Bulimia

Eating disorders can create extreme amounts of damage to someones smile. The physical as well as mental strains begin to show up years after the disease is under control. My name is Dr. Richard O'Braitis and I am a practicing dentist in Mission Viejo, CA. I have been practicing for over 11 years and have been in Orange County for the past four years. More information may be found on my website at http://www.drobraitis.com/.

As a cosmetic and restorative dentist, I see easily the damage that is done to teeth. A smile is eroded from the constant exposure of stomach acids. To restore someones smile, we often use porcelain ceramic veneers. Veneers and or porcelain crowns can be used to rebuild the lost tooth structure and improve a smile that has been worn down. It may be necessary to have some teeth root canaled prior to having porcelain veneers or crowns placed. When the outside enamel is worn, and the dentin can no longer protect the nerve, the nerve of the tooth is removed by root canal procedure.

It is a priviledge to be part of the community of Mission Viejo, CA.

Dental Trauma

What to do when your 7 year old knocks out his tooth.
My name is Dr. Richard O'Braitis and I have a cosmetic dental practice in Mission Viejo, California. We place veneers on our teeth to create a beautiful exciting and rejuvenated smile. But we are not able to place porcelain cosmetic veneers on a 7 year old child when their teeth are knocked out. To find out more about our office and the prevention or restoration of a smile after a traumatic incident, see us at http://www.drobraitis.com/

If your child falls and loosens a tooth ( avulsion) the most important factor is timing. Bring your child to the dentist as soon as possible. If a tooth is avulsed from the tooth socket, a clot will begin to form in the socket, and reimplantation becomes more difficult. Long term success and the ability to save the tooth for a life time comes with proper response time.

The use of a professional custom fitted sports guard can help prevent trauma to the mouth. Sports guards need to be worn during almost all sporting activities. To restore a tooth with an implant or replace a missing tooth with a porcelain bridge could cost between $12,000 - $16,000 over the lifetime.

As a dentist in Mission Viejo and caring for patients in the surrounding communities of Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, San Juan Capistrano, prevention of potential sports injuries is our goal. Our dental office has provided over 400 sports guards for the Mission Viejo Diablos Football Team. If we can answer any dental questions for you, please call our dental office at 949-770-9533.
