Dental Examination
Regular dental exams, professional cleanings, and good oral hygiene practices at home are essential to detecting and strategically managing periodontitis.
X-rays
Oral Cancer Screening
For new patients, we provide a comprehensive dental exam, an oral cancer screening and a routine teeth cleaning. We reserve a two-hour appointment for you where we take X-rays, photos and conduct an educational tour inside your mouth by using an intra-oral camera. We are then able to share the images with you on a 32-inch TV screen that allows you to actively interact and ask questions of Dr. Almajano.

Teeth Cleaning
Maria our hygienist is truly devoted to giving extensive dental service to all her patients. She takes her time to provide thorough dental cleaning.
Dental Sealants
Sealants give us a tool that can dramatically reduce the number of fillings placed in permanent teeth during critical stages of growth and development. On the chewing surface of molars, deep grooves reach into the center of the teeth. Under a microscope, these crevices might look like a deep canyon. In fact, most of them are narrower than a single toothbrush bristle but wide enough for bacteria to hide. It's easy to see how cavities can form in such a perfect hideout.

Fillings
Veneers
Veneers display the ultimate in dental art and science, handcrafted and customized to fit your smile. Like a contact lens, these paper-thin pieces of porcelain bond to the outside of your natural teeth. But don't be fooled by the thin characteristics of this material. Many unique features can be incorporated into the ceramics, replicating any look you want to create.
Crowns
Sometimes teeth undergo significant damage due to cavities, heavy bite forces, trauma, or even normal functioning. Many situations can leave teeth in danger of loss if treatment is bypassed. While teeth may need to be fully “capped” with a dental crown, some smaller fractures can be perfectly formed back to health with an onlay. A crown requires a little more tooth preparation while onlays allow the unbroken portions of a tooth to be left uncut. A custom piece of porcelain, like a partial crown, is bonded to the damaged area.
Bridges
Whenever you cruise across a bridge over the water, you're being supported by the same principles that hold a dental bridge. Critical stabilization on each side helps bear the load, year after year. Teeth on either side of a space support a replacement tooth engineered from durable materials and glued into place. While this often serves for many years, the load-bearing teeth may deteriorate after thousands of chewing cycles. In some cases, this leads to more missing teeth.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
We know it's not always easy for you to sort through the complicated possibilities. Dr. Almajano's background in restorative dentistry allow them to develop solutions for every scenario.

Root Canal Treatment
A deep cavity can give bacteria access to the inner nerve bundle. A crack extending into the same region can create stress that will need additional care to relieve. In some cases, a significant infection may develop in your jaw without any symptoms at all. If Dr. Almajano determines that the nerve won't recover or infection is present, then root canal treatment may be suggested.

Dentures
Dentures offer an affordable way to replace any number of missing teeth in your mouth. They have a long history of success and continue to earn a place in the list of options for rebuilding your smile.

Dental Implants
When it's time to replace missing teeth, whether it's one or a full set, several options might be available to you. Dental implants often give you the best opportunity to enjoy normal chewing and a full smile, although all therapeutic possibilities deserve consideration.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Despite your best efforts, teeth sometimes need to be removed to protect your health. When we've discussed all other possibilities and you've decided on extraction, we'll take every step to help you. Your well-being always takes priority in any treatment decision. Some patients prefer sedation to help with oral surgery, and we can include medicated options into your plan. Regardless, we take every measure to make even minor surgical procedures as comfortable as possible.
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
A variety of tooth and jaw issues open up the door to orthodontics in a growing child. Dr. Almajano may point out that your child's baby teeth appear crowded, or the relationship between the jaws isn't ideal. While not generally the time for treatment, it may help you prepare for the possibility of future corrective care. As permanent teeth start to appear, usually around age 6, Dr. Almajano monitors the process further and helps you decide if early orthodontic treatment makes sense.
Invisalign Orthodontics
For ultimate camouflage, tray or aligner systems render a modern straightening method. Designed with sophisticated software and 3D digital models of your teeth, a series of clear plastic trays produce the straightening results. Medical-grade plastic without wires, metal, springs, or rubber bands gently moves your teeth into place. Gradual pressure on specific teeth with each aligner means less discomfort and shortened treatment times, in many cases. Your provider dispenses several sets of aligners at a time, allowing you to change to a new one at home every two weeks.
Braces
Braces might be considered a rite of passage for young people, much like getting a first driver's license. An array of wires, brackets, and springs provide combinations for numerous treatment scenarios. Sometimes clear brackets and tooth-colored wires can help hide the hardware, leading to an ideal outcome with minimal display during the process. Dr. Almajano will help you explore the options and timing if braces fit your treatment scenario.

Teeth Whitening
Sometimes a new smile emerges from the simplest steps. Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate dull white enamel surfaces. A brilliant boost along with some gentle polishing and reshaping of chipped, uneven edges can create an easy transformation. Simple and safe, most patients don't realize how much discoloration embeds into their teeth until they see a new shine emerge.
Cosmetic Dentistry
At Mission Dental Arts, Dr. Almajano offers cosmetic dentistry options that perfect your smile and restore the confidence in your smile.
General Dentistry
Dr. Almajano has been creating beautiful smiles for more than a decade. Doctor Meg, as her patients call her is trained in all general dentistry procedures, including but not limited to routine and preventive treatments (such as cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures and dental sealants for children), newer techniques and latest technology in veneers, crowns and bridges, invisible braces (custom-made plastic aligners as alternative to metal braces), and implant restorations. TMJ exam and Oral Cancer Screening is freely given to all her patients as part of her new patient examination.
