HNC Orthodontic Group

Dental Examination
Dr. Delorme will need to see you for a consultation to perform an oral exam and determine the severity of your orthodontic alignment. X-rays may also be taken.
X-rays
We are constantly being exposed to background radiation throughout our daily lives and this is often much higher than the radiation emitted from dental x-rays. X-rays are also only taken intermittently and only as often as is necessary.
Oral Cancer Screening
Can help spot the signs of oral cancer right in the beginning stages, when the treatment is far more successful.

Teeth Cleaning
Don’t forget to floss between all of your teeth, as this is ⅓ of all of the surfaces of your teeth in the mouth. Failing to do this will lead to cavities or even gum disease. It’s also crucial that you attend regular dental cleanings to remove plaque buildup which is difficult to remove yourself.
Fluoride Treatment
At South OC Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer preventive, restorative, orthodontic, and emergency care to children and adults, as well as those with special needs. Our preventive care will keep tooth decay and gum disease at bay by providing regular dental cleanings, checkups, x-rays, and fluoride treatments.
Dental Sealants
We recommend your child gets dental sealants once their first and second permanent molars come in at ages 6 and 12. For patients who are experiencing active oral health problems, we can restore the health of an infected tooth, prevent problems with a prematurely missing tooth, protect vulnerable or weakened teeth, and remove and replace teeth that can no longer be restored.
Space Maintainers
If your little one is struggling with dental issues, our team is here to help with compassionate, restorative care. From fillings and space maintainers to pulpotomies and extractions, we provide an extensive selection of treatments to ensure your child can start smiling again with ease.

Fillings
Crowns
As the final step, Dr. Delorme will fill up the tooth with gutta percha, which is a special material that replaces the pulp and strengthens the tooth. Then, he will cover it up with a temporary filling or crown. Your child will typically need to come back for a future appointment to get a permanent crown, which will protect their tooth from further damage.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is used to reshape and improve your child’s teeth. In this procedure, Dr. Delorme will add tooth-colored dental resin to your child’s tooth. He will trim, sculpt, shape, and mold this resin to fix issues like minor chips, uneven teeth, small teeth, and more. Dental bonding doesn’t require any enamel removal, and it’s also fast and affordable, so it’s a great option for kids and teens.

Pulpotomy
If there’s a baby tooth with a severe cavity, a pulpotomy can remove the decayed tissue that has likely reached the nerve, causing pain.
Root Canal Treatment
The pulp is filled with the blood vessels and nerves that keep your child’s tooth alive. As it becomes infected, this causes serious pain and discomfort. Infections will eventually kill the tooth, so a root canal is the best option for restoring their tooth and their oral health.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
The removal of the wisdom tooth is considered oral surgery but it's a simple procedure, but might take longer if the tooth hasn't broken through the gum or the bone.
Jaw Surgery
Hailing from the greater Los Angeles area, Dr. Edward Balasanian graduated Cum Laude from California State University at Northridge in 1997 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Minor in Chemistry. After earning his dental degree at the UCLA School of Dentistry, Dr. Balasanian found his true calling. He remembers his first time in the operating room during a corrective jaw surgery as the moment he decided that a career in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery would be his profession of choice. He earned the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Award for the UCLA School of Dentistry graduating class of 2001.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Following graduation from dental school, Dr. Balasanian attended the combined 6-year MD-Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his medical degree from the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine, graduating in 2004. He completed his general surgery internship and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, completing the program in 2007 after serving as Chief Resident for the program in his final year.
Tooth Extractions
In some cases, wisdom teeth might become stuck and not come through properly, or they might push other teeth further. Crowded teeth are harder to keep clean and often wisdom teeth suffer from tooth decay or infections. When the health of the teeth is impacted, wisdom teeth extraction comes into place.

Orthodontics
Read on in this blog from South OC Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics to find out why some people get the short end of the stick when it comes to cavity prevention.
Invisalign Orthodontics
As a highly popular treatment option among patients looking for a straight smile, Invisalign can treat mild to severe misalignment cases such as overbites, crowded teeth, and more. These removable clear aligners are free of wires and brackets, making them one of the most discreet ways to align a beautiful smile over time.
Braces
While they appear to be identical to traditional braces, self-ligating braces utilize clips rather than elastic bands to hold the brace wire in place. Self-ligating braces cause less friction on the braces and make it easier for patients of all ages to keep them clean and free of debris.

Teeth Whitening
Take-home teeth whitening is great for kids and teens with busy schedules. In this procedure, Dr. Delorme will make a set of reusable, custom whitening trays. Then, your child will use a set of whitening products and their whitening trays to whiten their smile in the comfort of their own home. They’ll usually wear the trays for about an hour a day for 2-3 weeks. This is a great option if you know your child will be diligent about wearing their trays.
General Dentistry
Dr. Carter practiced general dentistry for five years before specializing in orthodontics, giving him a very unique perspective that allows him to analyze not only your smile but also your entire mouth as a whole. An orthodontist can do more than simply give you a great smile — they can affect the entire shape of the lower face. Only by focusing on all of these factors can one create the best possible smile, profile, and aesthetics. Dr. Carter is proud to be able to create attractive facial proportions along with beautiful smiles for all of his patients. When he’s not enhancing facial and smile aesthetics at South OC, frequently lectures other dentists and physicians on this topic. In his spare time, Dr. Carter loves mountain biking, golf, and spending time with his family.
