Going to the dentist can be anxiety-provoking for some people, and that’s why the team at Newbury Park Dental Arts focuses on making sure their patients feel at ease from the moment they walk in the door. And, by the time they leave, they know they’ve received the best care possible.
“We make our patients feel comfortable and relaxed, as if they’re catching up with old friends,” says dentist, Dr. Cristina Markiewicz. “We then take a comprehensive look at how we can improve not just their oral health, but their overall health and confidence. Having a confident smile is a very powerful thing that can affect how you show up in your professional and personal relationships every single day.”
One of Dr. Cristina’s talents is building confidence within her patients by helping them obtain the smile of their dreams. Her focus is to give them both a beautiful and functional smile, so she carefully listens to her patients to find out what problems, sensitivities and concerns they may have and then formulates individualized plans to get their entire mouth, from teeth to gums, healthy.
One way she does this is by making sure teeth are aligned properly, and Newbury Park Dental Arts is actually a preferred provider for Invisalign®. “Getting started can be as simple as getting scanned and seeing a simulation of what your teeth can look like when aligned,” she says. “We help patients every day with aligning their teeth in a position to help with crowding, spacing, misshapen teeth and mal-opposed bites.”
Her practice also offers dental implants, bonding, crowns, veneers, root canals, sedation dentistry and more, including Zoom In Office Whitening which lightens and brightens smiles. From general dentistry to cosmetic dentistry, all patients’ needs are covered.
In addition, Dr. Cristina has extensive training in neuromuscular dentistry and often helps patients suffering from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues as well as sleep apnea. She and her team are always at the forefront of any new dental advances, and in addition to a wide range of treatment solutions, patients are also ensured that they’re getting access to the latest and best dental technology. Newbury Park Dental Arts is equipped with state-of-the-art technology including but not limited to CBCT 3D X-ray, iTero Element Scanning, MLS therapeutic laser, BioPak Electromyography and Jaw Tracking, Digital Bite Programming and intraoral imaging.
Dr. Cristina takes time to review photos, X-rays and scans with each of her patients so they can see exactly why treatment is recommended and builds a plan to keep her patients healthy in the most minimally invasive way possible. She is an expert when it comes to cosmetic dentistry and improving the look, shape and feel of her patients’ teeth. Patients travel from other countries and states just to be treated by her!
During each dental exam, she checks for cavities and risks of cavities in the future, gum disease and risk of gum disease in the future, airway issues, and TMJ issues, as well as for signs of oral, head and neck cancers. Dr. Cristina and her entire team are dedicated to providing patients with the very best dental care available in a professional, courteous and efficient manner from the beginning of their appointments to the very end.
So, even if your teeth and gums look and feel fine, don’t put off making an appointment for an overall oral checkup.
“The longer something goes without maintenance, the more expensive, inconvenient and time-consuming a fix will be,” she says. “Maintaining your oral health is similar to maintaining your car.”
