- Dental Examination
- X-raysAs dental technology has continued to develop over the years, the goal has really been to heighten patient comfort and to help achieve optimum results. Little Smiles of Orange County is happy to offer Digital X-Rays which is a safer and more convenient way help diagnose underlying issues. Digital X-Rays offer a variety of benefits over its traditional counterpart which include a reduction of radiation exposure by about 90 percent and less wait time. The process for Digital X-Rays is similar to traditional dental X-rays where a sensor is inserted into your mouth to capture images of your teeth but rather than waiting for the film to be developed, the image is projected onto a screen for your doctor and staff to access.

- Jaw SurgeryOrthodontic treatment is very individualized for each patient and the recommended treatment plan is unique and specific to him or her. The type of orthodontics worn and the length of time that they are worn depend on several factors. Some people may need other dental procedures prior to orthodontic application. Such procedures may include tooth extraction or jaw surgery for severe bite problems.
- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsOrthodontics correct bite problems called malocclusions. Examples of malocclusions include jaws that are out of alignment, missing teeth, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and extra teeth. Malocclusions can be inherited or caused by prolonged thumb sucking, trauma, and early or late loss of baby teeth.Â
- BracesAfter completing your evaluation, our orthodontist will discuss your treatment plan with you, and will let you know what type of braces are most appropriate for you, the amount of time you should expect to wear them, and the expected outcome. This is also a good time to discuss insurance coverage and financing.
