Patients of Adriatic Dental have access to some of the most advanced technology available in the dental field

San Marcos, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/14/2016 -- San Marcos, CA dentist Dr. Valentina Obradovic is proud to offer some of the most advanced dental technology at Adriatic Dental that is helping patients receive the highest level of care and treatment during their dental visits. Dr. Obradovic is one of few dentists in the area trained to provide laser dentistry with the LANAP laser. She also offers images from intraoral cameras as well as the Perio Protect procedure for patients with gum disease.

Intraoral cameras are one of the latest developments gaining popularity in the dental industry for both doctors and patients. These small wand-like devices are used to create close-up vivid color images of the patient's teeth that are displayed digitally in real time. Prior to intraoral cameras, patients mainly had to rely on hard-to-decipher x-ray images as well as the word of the dentist to know what type of oral conditions they were experiencing. With intraoral cameras, however, patients can clearly see the condition of their teeth and gums before, during, and after treatment.

The Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, or LANAP, is a laser procedure focused on the treatment of gum disease. This advanced laser technology is used only by 1% of dentists in the U.S. who have received ultra specialized training to do so, and Dr. Obradovic is one of them. The LANAP procedure harnesses the power of laser to treat gum disease in a way that once could only be done through painful surgery. The laser technology Dr. Obradovic uses is able to eliminate the diseased gum tissue while cauterizing and sterilizing the remaining tissue, resulting in a procedure that is much less painful, much more effective, and requires far less healing time than traditional gum disease treatment.

Dr. Obradovic is committed to helping patients with gum disease save their natural teeth, and in addition to the LANAP procedure, she also offers the Perio Protect method that helps manage and eliminate bacteria in the teeth and gum tissues that is harmful and can threaten the long-term health of the patient. This method involves a chemical therapy applied topically to the gums to eliminate bacteria, giving patients a much more effective alternative to surgery.

About Dr. Valentina Obradovic
Dr. Obradovic has been a member of the dental profession for more than 20 years. She completed her initial dental training at the University of Belgrade and since practicing in the U.S. has remained heavily involved in post-graduate and continuing dental education, which is why she is able to offer San Marcos patients such a wide variety of advanced technological procedures.

Dr. Valentina Obradovic offers patients at Adriatic Dental one of the latest non-invasive treatments for periodontal disease with Perio Protect

San Marcos, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/28/2016 -- Dr. Valentina Obradovic, dentist at Adriatic Dental in San Marcos, CA is helping patients find the best treatment for periodontal disease using the latest, minimally invasive measures by offering the Perio Protect method. This procedure helps manage and eliminate harmful bacteria that reside between the teeth and gum tissues so patients can improve their oral health without surgery.

The Perio Protect method is customized for each patient depending on the severity of the periodontal disease that exists in their mouth. The procedure utilizes a chemical therapy that is applied topically to the gums with a tray that fits over the teeth. This chemical therapy seeps into the pockets between the inflamed gum tissue and the teeth and helps eliminate the harmful bacteria that are contributing to the chronic inflammation of the gums.

While patients receive this initial treatment in-office, they are also able to perform treatments with this proprietary chemical at home in just a few minutes each day. Patients make office visits to check on the progress of the treatment, and this therapy may be combined with more traditional treatments like scaling and root planing to produce the most optimal results for oral health.

According to the CDC, half of American adults suffer from some degree of gum disease. This chronic inflammatory disease is entirely preventable with proper oral hygiene like brushing and flossing, however, in its advanced stages can lead to the loss of permanent teeth and has also been linked to other chronic inflammatory diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

To help patients treat this prevalent disease, Dr. Obradovic is trained in a variety of other advanced measures in addition to the Perio Protect method. She is part of just 1% of dentists in the U.S. who is trained to provide laser treatment for gum disease with LANAP, which stands for the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. With this treatment, Dr. Obradovic can help patients even with advanced periodontitis preserve their natural teeth and improve their oral health without traditional surgery that involves scalpels and sutures.

San Marcos, CA Dentist at Adriatic Dental offers complete, instant smile transformations with Lumineers

San Marcos, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/06/2016 -- Dr. Valentina Obradovic of Adriatic Dental in San Marcos, CA is offering patients the chance to get a complete smile transformation in just one hour without any invasive measures or surgery. Using Lumineers, Dr. Obradovic can give patients a completely new, customized look for their smile that is durable enough to last a decade, but is also completely reversible.

Lumineers represent some of the latest improvements to cosmetic dentistry procedures. They are similar to traditional veneers, however, they offer patients several advantages due to their innovative design. Lumineers measure only .2 mm in thickness, making them much thinner than traditional veneers. Because of this, Lumineers have a highly translucent quality that makes them look much more natural as they mimic the look of the tooth's natural enamel. Because Lumineers are so thin, they do not require any of the existing tooth structure to be etched or shaved for placement as traditional veneers do.

For patients who have mild gapping, crowding, or misalignment, Lumineers are an instant, non-invasive option to give the appearance of a straight, beautiful smile. Lumineers are also a fantastic option for patients who have discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth and who desire a more uniform appearance for their smiles. Lumineers can even be placed over existing crowns or bridgework without having to remove or replace them. When cared for properly, these thin overlays that are similar in thickness to an eggshell can last for up to a decade when cared for properly. However, if at any time the patient decides they prefer not to have the Lumineers any longer, they can be removed easily with no permanent damage to the tooth structure beneath.

The Lumineers that Dr. Obradovic offers for patients in San Marcos are especially appealing for adults, as they provide a nearly instant method for transforming their smile, when other options may require other methods like orthodontia. Patients who opt for Lumineers can usually have their new smile completed within just two office visits. During the first visit, Dr. Obradovic takes impressions of the patient's smile and along with the patient, designs the custom overlays that will provide the shape, style, and color of smile that the patient prefers. During the second visit, Dr. Obradovic places these new custom overlays during an appointment that usually takes about an hour.

In addition to offering Lumineers, Dr. Obradovic offers patients of Adriatic Dental a wide range of other dental services including preventive and restorative dentistry, treatment for gum disease, implant dentistry, and more.

About Dr. Valentina Obradovic
Dr. Obradovic has more than two decades of experience in the dental field. In addition to her formal training at the University of Belgrade, she has completed extensive continuing education throughout her career that has helped her become an expert in a variety of dental sub-specialties.

San Marcos, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/03/2015 -- Dr. Valentina Obradovic of Adriatic Dental in San Marcos, CA recently returned from the 2015 Annual MGE Owners' Conference and Benefit Dinner in Florida benefitting the Boys and Girls clubs and other groups in the fight against illiteracy. Sponsored by MGE Management Experts, hundreds of thousands of new books and audio books will go to needy schools and children nationwide as a result of the benefit. The event raises funds for the Improving Youth Literacy Campaign, supporting Boys and Girls Clubs and youth programs across the country.

According to the National Center for Education, approximately 10.9 million U.S. school-age children 5 to 17 years old are from families living in poverty. Research shows living in poverty during early childhood is associated with lower than average academic performance beginning in kindergarten and extending through elementary and high school. It is the aim of the event to provide books to children as a means to break the cycle of poverty through increased focus on early childhood education and literacy.

Dr. Obradovic sees many children at her San Marcos practice for pediatric dentistry and understands how the combination of access to education and healthcare can change a child's entire life. Preventative home care education, regular check-ups, and cleanings prep a child to enjoy a lifetime of oral health, just as a single book can prime a child for academic and quality of life successes for the foreseeable future.

Dr. Valentina Obradovic of Adriatic Dental in San Marcos, CA offers latest gum treatment technology to help patients preserve their natural teeth

San Marcos, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/15/2015 -- Dr. Valentina Obradovic, San Marcos dentist at Adriatic Dental is part of an elite group of just 1% of dentist in the U.S. trained to offer patients gum disease treatment with LANAP, short for The Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, which is helping patients preserve their natural teeth even after advanced periodontitis. With LANAP technology, Dr. Obradovic is able to treat patients who have gum disease with less pain, reduced gum recession, and much better long term results.

While the majority of people are aware of the importance of caring for their teeth to prevent decay and cavities, too few people recognize the importance of also flossing and caring for their gums to prevent gum disease. After all, diseased gums are one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss since it affects the tissues, ligaments, and bone tissue that keep teeth attached in the mouth. When the mildest form of periodontal disease, gingivitis, leads to more advanced stages of periodontitis, invasive treatment is required to rid gums of bacteria and save the natural teeth.

Prior to the availability of LANAP, treating gum disease required invasive surgery with a blade and suturing. LANAP is revolutionary in the dental industry due to its ability to eliminate the needs for scalpels, sutures, and pain medication for gum surgery. Using the advanced pulsated lasers of LANAP, Dr. Obradovic is able to eradicate bacteria under the gum line without cutting, and also without disturbing health gum tissue.

Ultrasonic lasers remove tartar and calculus deposits on the tooth root surface underneath the gum line. After the tooth roots and gums have been cleaned and are free from bacteria, specialized lasers are once again applied to stimulate bone, root, and soft tissue to create a protective seal around the periodontal pockets. This helps preserve the natural teeth and give them the best possible chance of completely healing after advanced gum disease.

Patients who undergo LANAP for gum disease report minimal pain and are rarely prescribed pain medications. They can resume their daily activities fairly quickly after LANAP treatment because there are no incisions or sutures to deal with.

Those who are interested in the benefits that LANAP may offer for the condition are invited to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Obradovic to determine if they are a good candidate for treatment.
