We want your smile to be perfect too!



When I finished my second year of college, I decided that it was time for me to finally get my teeth fixed. There were very crooked, causing me to never smile and I almost despised my own smile. I honestly didn’t seem to be as happy in general either. I just never had them fixed simply due to being too busy with school. So since I live in Mesa I decided to find a Mesa orthodontist near me. I was able to find a place called CVDentalCare, which actually has two offices in Mesa and I finally made the appointment I have been putting off for so long with the friendly receptionist.

When I first went into this orthodontist office, they were able to give me an examination right away. The orthodontist recommended braces would be the best route to go for me from what he saw on the multi-directional x-ray of my jaw. They were then able to cement a couple of brackets to the front of my teeth. I ended up only getting braces on my front teeth, because my bottom teeth were actually quite straight. The orthodontist was able to put the brackets on, and then ran a wire through them when I came in for my next appointment.

I have been wearing my braces for a couple of months now, and I can see the amazing results and my teeth are actually straighter than they use to be. I have also found that I tend to hold my teeth together, which means that my overbite does not cause me to have nearly as many headaches anymore. I have less than a month left then I will be able to go back to college with the perfect smile that I have always wanted! It feels so great, I almost feel like a different person because I smile so much more now.

People can make excuses forever but getting your teeth fixed is something that should not be put off. Your self-esteem should be one of your top priorities, so what will you do to get your confidence back? All it takes is to come in, so their friendly staff can meet you and put a plan together to get your smile the way it should be.

It is our honor to help your smile be the brightest it can be.

We create confident smiles.



Most times when you think of a tooth stain you think of the color yellow or brown. Your mind probably doesn’t think about blue, grey, black, or even white and green? There are actually many variances of tooth discoloration. The color of a tooth stain is influenced by what causes it. There are very many causes of tooth discoloration. Some causes you already know but there are many that you wouldn’t even think about. It is always a good idea to be aware of information like that. This article would be very long if I actually wrote in every single cause unfortunately. I don’t want you to get bored and leave. All it takes is a Google search and you will find everything you will need of course. I am here to make you think; to inspire you to acquire more knowledge. There are always natural ways that could work for aiding with a tooth discoloration issue. However, we of course can professionally help you with your tooth discoloration problems. Treatment options vary depending on the cause. Before a custom treatment plan can be developed to battle discoloration, a complete oral health evaluation must be finished. Common problems such as tooth decay and gum disease will require treatment before esthetics can be considered. If further assistance is needed we provide Mesa orthodontics services. Please don’t hesitate to utilize us as a tool to perfect your smile.

Safety and Smiles



As all of you residents of the Phoenix metro area and the surrounding cities know, water safety is a very big deal. You are right, we do not have any access to an ocean and there aren’t that many lakes either but we have a ton of pools. Everyone needs to be careful around water especially when maybe “partying” a little bit out on the lake with your friends but the kids need to be watched out for at all times. We as adults know what to do to keep ourselves safe, or at least we very well should, but children need someone to show them that safety is necessary. No matter what age or body of water, children need to be constantly watched. One of the best safety measures you can take is to complete a CPR class to become certified to help anyone who may need you. You know it would feel good to be the hero too. Next for at home, do not wait to install a fence at least four feet high with an automatic closing door around any pool or spa.  Be aware of any dog doors in the home that lead outside to where a pool can be reached also. When on a floating vessel of any kind always make sure every single kid is wearing a correctly sized life vest. When swimming in open water everyone should have a swimming buddy. You know like when you were a kid and had a buddy on a field trip? Even good swimmers could use a buddy. You never know what could happen so it is just better to be safe rather than sorry. Having inflatable swimming aids nearby no matter where you are swimming is always a good idea too. Plus they can be used for fun and everyone likes fun. Always, always be aware of your surroundings and do not take your eyes off of children around water. Please remember, if a child is missing, look for them in the nearest body of water first. At our Mesa dental office we know the perfect accessory for any summer outfit, and that is a bright smile. Make your summer count and the pictures of your great memories even better.

Lots of heat means taking lots of precautions.



The scorching summer has been upon us for some time now, especially for us in and around the Phoenix area. Be extremely cautious with children playing outdoors in the heat. Of course have plenty of water on hand, but also make sure they take more breaks than they normally would; about every 20 minutes. Taking more frequent breaks is vital when playing in high heat.  Bring dry clothes for them to change into once done playing. Keep your kids as comfortable as you can. Wouldn’t you want to be? Of course don’t forget the sunscreen. Sunscreen is for any time you will be in the sun, not just summer time. The sun gives off invisible rays of ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are short, high-energy wavelengths that are absorbed by the outermost layer of the skin, or the epidermis. Sunscreen protects you from these harmful rays. Sunscreens are rated according to their effectiveness by the sun protection factor (SPF). Basically, a product's SPF number helps decide how long you can stay in the sun before you will start to burn. To increase your protection, a good idea would be to wear a hat, a three inch brim is suggested, bill facing forward. Wearing light colored clothing helps too. Limit time in the sun as well, especially between the hours of ten and two pm, when the sun’s rays are most extreme. Too much exposure to the sun can cause suffering and even permanent damage if the right precautions are not taken. Keep your skin healthy and let us take care of your teeth. Our Mesa dental clinic can brighten that smile to go along with your glowing skin. Be careful out there and have a great rest of your summer.
