My favorite dental experience in my 38 years of living in southern California. Dr. Wilson is wonderful and his wife is one of the hygienist. Everyone is so kind and through work is done. I don’t like going to the dentist, but they made it as comfortable as possible.
This past week, I went to the office to get a cleaning and veneer on one tooth that was bothering me. The staff is so kind and awesome. I was able to get an earlier appointment and get everything done in one trip! I always enjoy seeing Pam and she is always very attentive during the cleanings. After the cleaning I saw Dr. Wilson, and the whole procedure was so efficient and timely. He is so great and does the best work! I highly recommend going to this dental office. Great people and great service, thank you to the whole team!
My family is new to Mission Viejo Smiles. We are all very pleased with the customer service and attention to customer feedback! Pamela provided me great advice about my teeth and recommendations for further care. There is a zero pressure about their approach which is greatly appreciated! We will be recommending this practice to any of our friends that are looking for a reputable dentist! Thank you!
We’ve been coming to Dr. Wilson for a few years. They are easily the best dentist around. They always make you feel welcome and take an interest in you. His wife is a hygienist and is kind and funny. They are honest and will not upsell and find stuff wrong for the sake of it like other places we’ve been to. He has great technology, such as cutting crowns while-u-wait which means less visits.
You can’t find a better dentist and hygienist than Dr. Wilson and his wife Pam. They are both rare gems that don’t believe in doing procedures just to collect money, this happened to me and my family before finding Dr. Wilson and Pam. They are both so kind and always take wonderful care of me and my family. They are a dynamic duo, you will be so happy with Dr. Wilson and Pam. I can’t say enough wonderful things, they are just awesome!!!!!!!
Dr. Wilson and his staff are wonderful! It was a very pleasant experience. Everyone was professional and personable, definitely not the typical upsell with a list of things to have done. I felt comfortable. Dr. Wilson took his time in reviewing my X-rays and answering my questions. I highly recommend this practice.
I have been a patient of Dr. Wilson’s for many years. Everyone there is warm and welcoming, and they do a great job with all my dental needs. Highly recommend!
There’s no better dentist around. I’ve been coming to Dr. Wilson’s for over twenty years. I drive over two hours for my appointment, and I can tell you, it’s time and effort well spent. If you want the latest in dental science, coupled with an master artisan’s perfection and technique, you’ve come to the right place. The office staff is polite, professional and truly embodies exceptional customer service. Pam is Dr. Wilson’s wife and is the best dental hygienist I’ve ever been to. Do yourself and your smile a favor and make an appointment. Your smile, dental health, well-being and self-confidence will thank you.
Dr. Wilson are both so super sweet and encouraging. I simply detest going to the dentist, but I have to say I look forward to seeing them! They try their best to make sure you’re comfortable and not in pain. I would encourage anyone who has an issue with dentist to give them a try.
Dr. Wilson and his staff are the most caring, professional, and honest dentistry team you can find in South Orange County. We have been his patients since 2000 – my children and I have beautiful and healthy teeth thanks to them!
With braces, you’ll need to avoid hard foods like nuts, ice, and hard candies that could break brackets. Sticky foods like caramel and taffy can pull off brackets or bend wires. Very chewy foods such as bagels and tough meats should be cut into small pieces. Also, limit sugary snacks and drinks since braces create more places for cavity-causing bacteria to hide.
Traditional braces cause mild discomfort rather than pain. You’ll notice pressure on your teeth, especially after adjustments, but this typically lasts only 2-3 days. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can help manage any soreness. Modern braces use lighter forces than older versions, making the overall experience much more comfortable than braces from years ago.
Most patients wear braces between 18 and 24 months, though treatment time varies based on your specific needs. Simple alignment issues might take as little as 12 months, while more complex problems could require up to 30 months. During your consultation at Mission Viejo Smiles, our doctor will examine your teeth and provide a personalized timeline based on your unique situation.
