It’s National Kissing Day! 😘 Go lay a smooch on someone you love.
We love SLO in the summertime! How will you celebrate the official first day of summer? Here are a few ideas:
☀️ Go down a slip and slide
☀️ Have a water gun fight
☀️ Enjoy some fresh watermelon
☀️ Do a cannonball
☀️ Make a sand castle
Bad breath is usually resolved by brushing your teeth and tongue. However, it can sometimes have underlying causes that signal a greater problem. Things like periodontal disease, mouth infections, certain medications, gastrointestinal issues or a poor diet can all contribute to bad breath that just won’t go away. And that’s just the start! If your breath is less than fresh these days, talk to us during your next visit and we’ll get you back on track to fresh breath.
To the dads who lift us up and do it all; happy Father’s Day! We hope your day is as special as you. ❤️
Dream smile - complete! ✅ This patient finished ortho and Invisalign with Dr. Jeremy Barrett of Barrett Family Orthodontics, who left space around her smaller peg laterals so that Dr. True could enhance their shape and fill out her smile. No numbing was needed and her dream smile was achieved in just two visits!
It’s National Iced Tea Day and a great chance to remind you how sneaky this refreshing beverage can be when it comes to your pearly whites. Even if you opt for the unsweetened variety, teas can stain your enamel just as much as coffee. If you can’t brush right away, rinsing with water immediately after can be a great habit to stave off staining. As always, brush thoroughly as soon as you can!
Can you feel those intoxicating June vibes in the air? We’re so close to summer, we can taste it! 😎😋
June is National Smile Month and this year’s theme is “Love Your Smile.” Celebrate by telling us why you love yours.

One and a half years later, this patient’s dream smile is still going strong. Dr. True used composite to close the gaps between her lateral and centrals - a great example of how small changes can make a huge impact.
Can you believe it’s the last day of May? Before we kick off June, tell us your favorite moment from this past month.
Invisalign for the win! This patient’s alignment contributed to her anterior wear and caused her to repeatedly bite her lower lip when chewing. She also had missing lateral incisors, so her canines were in the lateral position, and she had a baby tooth on the upper right that she had decided to keep. Once she was done with Invisalign, Dr. True used a fully additive approach with composite to reshape her teeth. We love the “after” smile as much as the patient does! 😍
Today we honor the brave men and women who courageously served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We are forever grateful.
Well, we meant your mouth, but your secrets are safe with us!
🍒🍊🍍🥕🥬🥒 It’s National Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day, and a great opportunity to remind you about the many benefits of packing your diet with healthy foods. Fruits and veggies are not just good for your body - they help your teeth and gums as well. All of our systems are connected, so when one part of your body thrives, the rest follows suit. Take this as a sign to indulge in your favorite piece of produce!
Wow, what great feedback! We are proud to be considered “top shelf” and will certainly toast to that. 🍻
This patient came in when his front crown broke off. He was initially planning to have the tooth extracted and an implant placed but later decided that he didn’t want another implant. He and Dr. Copp chose to restore the tooth instead. A root canal was completed by Coastal Endodontic Studio and then the tooth was restored with a combination of Ribbond- reinforced composite and ceramic. The end result? A very happy patient with a beautiful smile once again.
To the ones who kiss our ouchies, dry our tears and are always there for us when we need them most. Moms around the world, we love you. Happy Mother’s Day!
Ouch! This patient presented with pain from chewing, with cracks running through every part of that tooth. We removed the existing composite that was clearly not holding the tooth together and replaced it with a fiber-reinforced composite.
Complicated care doesn’t scare us! We know you have many choices when it comes to dental care and are so grateful you keep choosing us.
It’s Root Canal Awareness Week! This week highlights the importance of caring for your teeth and gums so that you don’t ever need a root canal. However, this procedure can be crucial to help save your teeth if you do. Therefore, it’s important to not only keep up with regular cleanings and exams but to have a great at-home oral health routine as well.
This patient had pain while chewing due to the fractures around her failing amalgam filling. We removed the fractures and utilized a combination of fiber reinforcements to rebuild her tooth. She is now back to chewing and eating comfortably. 🙌👏
