Our Services

Invisalign

Invisalign is another option for those who are seeking orthodontic care. For many, the primary concern for their smile is the appearance of their teeth. With Invisalign®, patients can now receive orthodontic care with clear aligning trays that will improve the appearance of teeth without having to place metal braces. Metal braces can be irritating, restrict consumption of specific foods, and make brushing and flossing a hassle. Invisalign® trays can be removed easily and are easily integrated into your everyday life.

Learn more about clear, comfortable Invisalign®.

Cerec Same-Day Crowns

Carlsbad Dental Associates specializes in CEREC® (acronym for Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic), a state-of-the-art method of reconstructing a tooth and restoration in one single visit. CEREC® crowns uses computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to offer single-day restorations for patients.
Learn more about same-day crowns with CEREC® technology.

Implants

Dental implants are recommended for those seeking a permanent solution to missing teeth. They are designed to look natural while also giving you the ability to have stable function of natural teeth. Dental implants are surgically placed into the mouth by inserting a titanium anchor into your jaw. After the anchor is placed, the bone will heal (about 6 months) around the titanium and hold it into place. When your dentist thinks you are ready, they will place your custom made artificial tooth into the anchor.

Oral Surgery

You and our doctors may determine that you need a tooth extraction for any number of reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease, or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment. Teeth can be removed with local anesthetic, or you may choose to go to sleep for the procedure. In either case, tooth removal should not be a traumatic experience, and we will do our best to ensure that you are comfortable during the entire procedure.

Bone Grafting

Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies or is reabsorbed. This often leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone suitable for placement of dental implants. In these situations, most patients are not candidates for placement of dental implants.

Had a wonderful experience with Hygienist Jamie today. Extremely delicate and made the visit very pleasurable. Especially for someone with an avoidance of dental offices. 😉

Paul C.

Doctor Brown is the best dentist I’ve ever had. He only works here every other day, so I’m careful to make sure all my office appointments are for the days that he is present. Thankfully the entire staff at Carlsbad Dental Associates is pleasant, friendly, and great at their jobs.

Dr. Arina, Justin, Alondra and the whole team at Carlsbad Dental Associates were really great! It was my first time and everyone made me feel really welcome. Dr. Arina spent a lot of time on my initial exam. They also have all the latest imaging technology which was really impressive. Highly recommended!
