Dr. Thomas Lange and Dr. Kevin Fitzpatrick feel that no one should fear going to the dentist anymore or think that losing their teeth is inevitable! Now that dental technology has removed these barriers the only thing anyone should worry about is which dental office is the right one for them. There's really only one way to find out. Dr. Lange and Dr. Fitzpatrick, La Jolla cosmetic dentists, would like you to come meet them in person to discuss your dental health. Only then can you decide if we are the dental office you are looking for. There will be no sales pitch. They won't tell you all sorts of scary things that might happen if you don't let them fix your teeth. They will give you honest answers to your questions and discuss all the options available to you (even if the best option for you is one that they can't offer you in their office) to give you a healthy mouth that feels good and a smile that looks great for a lifetime. They'll even give you a free video tour of your mouth. Come meet us!

Dr. Thomas Lange and Dr. Kevin Fitzpatrick’s mission is to provide value and choice to their guests. They believe that individuals should be free to choose the treatment option that best suits their needs. Put simply, they are driven by value rather than insurance minimums. At their office you will find the finest quality materials, a caring team of professionals, and a skilled dentist with an artistic eye.

Many individuals are afraid to have dental work done while they are awake and would prefer to be put asleep during all of their procedures. This is a painless way of getting years of needed dental treatment done in one visit. Dr. Thomas Lange and Dr. Kevin Fitzpatrick bring in a board certified anesthesiologist to take care of your sedation needs and fears, providing treatment while you sleep through the procedure. You must have a companion with you in order for you to return to your home safely.

They can also offer you a comfortable gas that you breathe in during your treatment, nitrous oxide, which settles your nerves and helps you relax. This is a great option to relax you during your procedure and the effects are diminished shortly after the unit is turned off which means you are able to drive and return to work or home safely.

Another option is to take a small tablet one hour before your visit our La Jolla office to help relax your nerves. You must have a companion with you in order for you to return to you home safely.

Entertainment

To take your mind off of the visit and your fears lay back in one of our chairs and slip on the headphones, pull the T.V. monitor in front of you and flip through the Direct T.V. channels during your time with Dr. Lange and Dr. Fitzpatrick. Patients have stated that “this has made the appointment so much easier that I can take my mind off the noises of the dental office.” Dr. Lange and Dr. Fitzpatrick are committed to your comfort and patients are always amazed that they can watch T.V. or listen to music during their appointments. Dr. Thomas Lange and Dr. Kevin Fitzpatrick, have patients tell them all the time “I have never had this type of experience."

FOR YOUR PROTECTION

Digital X-Ray System:

Digital radiography stems from the up rise in the digital camera world. This system allows us to take a picture of your teeth and within seconds it appears on a T.V. monitor or computer screen. This technology allows Dr. Lange and Dr. Fitzpatrick to significantly reduce the amount of radiation administered to the patient when taking the standard dental radiographs. Dr. Lange and Dr. Fitzpatrick feel that this is going to be the gold standard for the dental x-rays of the future due to its speed and reduction in radiation.

Advanced Sterilization Systems:

The dental units use only distilled bottled water to keep the water lines clean from contaminates that can be found in the cities water system. These lines are also disinfected continuously to insure your safety during the appointment. Dr. Lange and Dr. Fitzpatrick, San Diego family dentists, put their instruments through a rigorous sterilization in their state-of-the-art sterilizers. Those instruments that can not be sterilized are disposed of after every patient visit. Your safety is important to us!
