If you would like to learn more about the treatments we offer, please don’t hesitate to give our team a call to learn more or schedule a consultation with us today. We have two dental offices conveniently located in Rancho Bernardo and San Marcos.

What services does the practice offer?

Most general dental offices will offer a range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dental care options. However, you want to find a dental office with a treatment philosophy that aligns with your oral health and hygiene needs. Many dentists offer information about available treatments online. If you know you’ll need a specific service, you can also call the dental office to find out whether or not the treatment is provided, or you can schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment options with the dentist and team.

Some treatments that aren’t necessarily a given that patients may want to ask about before scheduling an appointment include services like sedation dentistry, gum disease maintenance, and family-friendly dentistry services.

At our San Marcos dental office, we are happy to offer comprehensive dentistry services using the latest dental techniques and technologies to ensure safety, comfort, and efficacy of your dental care plan. In addition to a basic range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry services, we also offer the following more advanced treatment options:

  • Sedation dentistry to help nervous patients and those in need of advanced treatments stay comfortable
  • Laser dentistry services for gum disease sufferers, cosmetic enhancements, and more
  • Comprehensive gum disease therapy and maintenance plans
  • Treatments for patients with TMJ dysfunction
  • Implant-supported tooth replacement
  • Custom-tailored cosmetic dental care, including complete smile makeovers
  • Emergency dentistry services for patients in need of urgent dental care

What are the dentists’ experience & qualifications?

This is likely the most straightforward thing you can check before visiting a dentist’s office. Is the dentist qualified to provide safe, effective dentistry services? Most dentists publish information on their training and education online. If you don’t see this information on a dental office website, call the office to talk to ask about our dentists’ qualifications.

Do they have a caring team?

Another of the more difficult factors to pin down is the quality of care. Without a caring team of dental professionals, the best dentist can struggle to make oral health care safe and comfortable. Our San Marcos dental team members offer patients friendly dental care that allows them to experience complete comfort and relaxation during even the most advanced procedures. We truly care about helping patients feel relaxed, welcome, and right at home in our offices.

Does the office have good reviews?

One of the simplest ways to learn more about the real patient experience is to hear directly from the patients themselves. You can find online reviews about almost anything these days, so it’s likely no surprise to hear that dental offices receive reviews from patients. If you want to learn more about the patient experience at North County Aesthetics & Implants, you can read reviews from our patients on Google+, Yelp and Facebook. Or, you can browse our library of testimonials provided by our actual patients.

Are they the right dental home for you?

Studies indicate that if you don’t feel comfortable in a dental office, you’re less likely to keep up with your necessary dental care. It can be more difficult to determine whether or not you will be comfortable in a dental office before you visit. Many dental offices offer consultation appointments that allow you to get to know the dentist, team, and practice before scheduling your first treatment appointment. They may also post an online tour of the practice to help patients feel more comfortable with the office before planning a visit.

In our San Marcos dental office, we truly go the extra mile to ensure you are experiencing complete comfort and relaxation during every appointment. We are dedicated to helping every patient learn to love visiting the dentist. Our team takes the time to listen to your needs and help you feel completely relaxed throughout your visit in our dental office. If our gentle, attentive care isn’t enough, we also offer sedation dentistry services to ensure patients are completely comfortable and free from pain throughout their time with us.
