General Dentistry
Dr. Maryam Jackson is a holistic dentist in Orange, CA, who offers the same services as a general dentist. She and her team welcome patients of all ages and can address their oral health needs at every stage of life.
Dental Cleanings and Exams
Dr. Jackson recommends twice-yearly preventive dental cleanings and exams. When we see you every six months for these services, we can monitor your oral health and treat any cavities or gum disease promptly to protect your oral and overall health.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease affects nearly half of US adults over age 30; after age 65, the number increases to 70 percent. Without treatment, gum disease significantly increases your risk for numerous serious systemic health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and Alzheimer's.
If we find gingivitis or advanced gum disease called periodontitis, our hygienist will customize a treatment plan to get your oral health back on track.
Tooth Fillings
BPA-Free White Ceramic Fillings
At Smiles of Orange, we are a metal-free dental office and use only 100 percent BPA-free ceramic material for our tooth fillings. If you have chemical sensitivities, we partner with an outside lab that does compatibility testing and can determine which material is suitable for you.
SMART Mercury Filling Removal
If you still have old metal amalgam fillings, we would be happy to talk to you about removing them safely. Dr. Jackson performs SMART mercury filling removal following stringent protocols to ensure your safety during the process.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a highly active form of oxygen and potent antimicrobial that acts as a disinfectant. Non-invasive ozone therapy is used in dentistry to kill harmful bacteria and leave healthy bacteria to do their job.
If you need more information about ozone therapy and how we use it, check out this helpful FAQ that explains its use in more detail.
Myofunctional Pre-Orthodontic Treatment for Children
We recommend myofunctional appliances for children to correct oral habits like tongue thrusting and mouth breathing that may be the underlying cause of crooked teeth and underdeveloped jaw. These appliances work with a child's natural growth patterns to retrain oral muscles and exert gentle force to align teeth properly.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
If you have a broken tooth or extensive decay, we may recommend a dental crown to restore it. Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that we customize to cover a tooth to protect it and restore chewing function.
Our custom dental bridges replace one or several teeth and consist of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent teeth with dental crowns.
Root Canal Treatment
If you experience tooth pain, extreme tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, or swelling, you may have a tooth infection requiring prompt root canal treatment. Dr. Jackson is highly-skilled and incredibly gentle and will ensure your comfort during the procedure. We also offer sedation dentistry if you experience dental anxiety.
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is badly decayed, infected, or damaged to the point that it is unsalvageable, we recommend removing it to spare you further pain and protect your general health and wellness. Rest assured, you couldn't be in better hands than with Dr. Jackson and her skilled and compassionate team on your side.

Giving Kids a Positive Start with Dentistry
We enjoy helping our youngest patients start their dental journey with positive experiences. Our goal is to show them that visiting the dentist can be a fun adventure, and kids especially love our football-shaped toy box!
Children’s dentistry at our Orange, CA dental office includes basic care, checkups, and teeth cleanings. We also use safe, BPA-free dental sealants to help protect a child’s vulnerable teeth against bacteria and decay.
If your child already has a cavity, we use minimally-invasive techniques, including ozone therapy and laser dentistry, to restore the tooth and preserve its structure.
After examining your younger child, Dr. Jackson may determine that they can benefit from pre-orthodontic treatment with a myofunctional appliance. As a holistic dentist, Dr. Jackson may also recommend changing your child’s diet to include healthy alternatives to sugar-laden snacks and beverages.

General Dentistry Technology
Laser Dentistry
We are pleased to offer state-of-the-art laser dentistry as part of our mission to provide minimally invasive treatment. With dental lasers, we provide comfortable treatment and do away with the need for injections in many cases. Laser dentistry is non-invasive, so there is minimal bleeding and recovery is faster and more comfortable.
At Smiles of Orange, we have found laser dentistry to be effective when:
- Treating gum disease
- Performing gingivectomies
- Treating canker sores and cold sores
- Recontouring gum tissue to improve aesthetics
- Providing brilliant teeth whitening results
Nitrous Oxide
If you dread dental visits or don’t like sitting in the dental chair for long periods, we recommend gentle sedation with nitrous oxide. Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide won’t make you break out into uncontrollable giggles, but it will help you relax during your appointment.
Nitrous oxide is a gas, so you inhale it through a small, comfortable nasal mask. In just a few moments, you’ll start to feel a little drowsy and pleasantly dreamy and relaxed. You will remain fully conscious, but the sights and sounds around you will seem distant.
A trained member of our team will be by your side throughout your appointment to monitor you ensure that you’re comfortable. When we finish your procedure, we stop the nitrous flow and switch to pure oxygen. We want you to drive home safely, so we’ll have you sit for a few minutes as the oxygen clears your mind and the drowsy effects dissipate.
Rotary Endodontics
Rotary endodontic technology allows us to improve patient comfort by streamlining root canal treatment. Traditional root canal treatment can be a slow, laborious process because removing all traces of infected pulp from inside a tooth is crucial.
With rotary endodontics, we do away with manual instruments and use electrically-powered technology instead. This technology makes the procedure much more efficient and significantly improves patient comfort.
You will get out of the dental chair faster, and the design of the technology allows us to do a much more thorough job of removing infected pulp. The results are an improved experience and more positive long-term treatment outcomes.
