Welcome to Advanced Dental
The complete, cutting-edge dentistry that your whole family deserves!
Everything about our practice in Aliso Viejo, California, is advanced. An experienced dentist and practice leader, Dr. Chitra Tiruveedula, is committed to ongoing continuing education and professional development. She is joined by Dr. Joseph C. Yang, a talented board-certified periodontist or specialist in diagnosing and treating gum disease. Dr. Yang also lectures globally on the latest periodontal and implant procedures.
Dr. Tiruveedula has carefully selected the latest, clinically proven technologies to support this advanced knowledge and expertise. Advanced Dental is passionate about providing complete dental care for the whole family. Our team offers a highly personalized, painless, precise, and pleasant approach to treating patients – from those who are just starting their oral health journeys to those who are getting back into a healthy habit of 6-month “check-ups” and other proactive services. In fact, at any given time, we may be treating 2-year-old toddlers and 98-year-old great-grandmothers alike!
To meet the evolving, unique, and lifelong needs of patients, we provide a considerable number of services. It can be challenging to highlight what distinguishes us from other dental offices because there is just so much that we offer!
But we are happy to provide a small glimpse into some of our capabilities and encourage you to contact us for more information. We are here to help!
- Laser dentistry – Laser technology is the “magic” behind many of our light-touch, well-tolerated, highly-targeted, and super-efficient procedures. When directed toward the site, the energy from the laser device painlessly and precisely reshapes, disinfects, and otherwise treats soft and hard tissues. An array of dental treatments can be completed without the use of cutting and other instruments that serve as “triggers,” such as needles and scalpels. It is a great way to reacquaint anxious or fearful patients with modern dentistry!
- Dental implants – Today’s replacement teeth may be supported or held in place by dental implants. Each implant functions like a tooth root. This is the only form of teeth replacement that accounts for the roots. Patients appreciate that, due to this unique design, their new teeth look and feel very natural. With good care, they remain highly functional for a lifetime. Other dentist’s offices do not place the implants in the jawbone. But, thanks to our in-house specialty care and computer-guided technologies, we provide complete implant care. Every aspect of the process is handled by the team you know and trust, including the surgery. We also offer complementary oral surgery procedures, such as bone grafting with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to “prepare” the jaw and build up tissue to address bone loss.
- Invisalign® — This orthodontic treatment blends cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Instead of fixed, metal braces, Invisalign® uses clear, removable aligners to reposition the teeth incrementally. It is effective at treating minor misalignments and more complex bite problems, and it does so discreetly and comfortably. Invisalign® also complements a range of other cosmetic and restorative treatments/services, from professional teeth whitening and LUMINEERS® to composite fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures.
All amenities have also been made with your family’s complete needs and interests at heart. We provide emergency dentistry because Advanced Dental knows that problems tend to arise at the worst times. Our team is also available for appointments every day of the week except Sundays. And, for your convenience, we see patients early mornings and evenings, too. If cost is a barrier to care, we provide many affordable payment options – even in-house savings plans that cover many services and provide generous discounts. Our team in Aliso Viejo, CA welcomes your questions and looks forward to your call at (949) 289-9993.

What is the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Both are orthodontic treatments that help address misaligned, spaced, or crowded teeth. However, they differ in how they achieve the desired results. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners. Traditional braces use brackets and wires that remain attached to the teeth throughout treatment. Invisalign offers greater discretion and flexibility, while braces are ideal for more complex orthodontic cases.
Do you offer emergency dental appointments?
Yes! When you have a severe toothache, broken tooth, or dislodged crown, you don’t have to wait. Advanced Dental offers emergency dentistry to relieve discomfort and address the underlying problem.
What is PRP, and is it used in dental procedures?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative therapy that uses your own blood. PRP contains concentrated growth factors that may help support healing for oral surgical procedures, including extractions, bone grafting, and implant surgery. Since it’s derived from your own blood, there is less chance of infection or allergic reactions.
Do you accept new patients?
Yes! Our office is excited to welcome patients of all ages to our warm, modern office. Whether you are new to the area or want a new home for your smile, you are welcome in our office. We combine compassion and personalized care to make your experience smooth and comfortable from the first visit and beyond.
What should I bring during my first dental visit?
You’ll typically need to bring your ID and, if applicable, your insurance details. Also, bring a list of your current medications, concerns, and questions you’d like to ask. You can complete new patient forms at our office, but you can also fill out our online forms to make the process faster.
How do you handle anxious patients?
Dental anxiety is more common than many people realize, and we take it seriously. We have created a calm, welcoming environment where you feel heard and supported. We explain procedures clearly, move at a comfortable pace, and offer sedation options to make your experience as stress-free as possible.
How do I know if I need dental implants or dentures?
The best option depends on your jaw health, budget, and preferences. Dental implants provide a stable, long-term solution that functions like natural teeth. Dentures are more affordable and offer a removable option for replacing missing teeth. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of each and help you choose the option that best fits your needs.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! We are happy to work with several dental insurance plans. As a courtesy, we also handle claims on your behalf to make your procedure run more smoothly. If you don’t have insurance, we offer flexible payment options, including financing and an in-house membership plan.
Do you treat patients from Laguna Hills, Mission Viejo, and surrounding cities?
Yes! We are strategically located in Aliso Viejo, CA, but we proudly serve patients from numerous locations. Many patients travel from near and far to experience our comprehensive, patient-centered care.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Whether you are a returning or first-time patient, you’ll experience the support that makes you feel confident about your care.

SUCCESS STORIES
What Our Patients Say
Oh my gosh!
Are you happy?
This is perfect!
This is Kate Decker. The reason why we decided to come to Advanced Dental was, growing up in Connecticut we had this one dentist who, they had great technology, very top tier and you knew you trusted them. When you walked in there that everything was top of mind and looking the whole goal was to provide not only a good experience but great teeth at the end of the day. And so when my family moved over to California, Advanced Dental was one of the top reviews of top tier technology and making sure that your teeth are not only healthy but, pearly whites and looking good, nice and straight, and top of mind. So that’s definitely what brought my parents in here, not only my parents, but our entire family. I live in Oklahoma, my brother lives in Connecticut, and now this is like our go-to dentist across the country, and then why this specific doctor – she’s also not like your typical dentist where you’re coming in to get your teeth clean and then you’re out of there, it’s very personal. She’s very much our family, we’re already having a text message chain going on, so it feels more welcoming when coming here versus your typical doctors or dentist appointment of the year. So, love it here, and so the reason why I’m here is I’m lucky enough my company said we can work remotely for an entire week. And what’s funny is I was telling my entire company – hey I’m going to California for a dental procedure and they all thought I was crazy – why would you go to another state? why not stay locally and you know like, we love Advanced Dental – I trust them with my teeth and no one else. So, it’s definitely not only welcoming in such a family here, but you know they’re going to do such a great job and go over and beyond than what you’re even expecting.
So Kate, Okay how was your smile – do you love your smile now?
I love it way better than when I first came in – it’s been almost 20 years since I’ve had my old bridge but it’s refreshing having a new bite and teeth new everything, and some pearly whites.
So yes, it looks more natural and nobody can say yes that’s good.
How was your experience overall?
It was awesome. I can’t believe it was only a two-week process, not even from when I flew in and you guys made it happen during a holiday too. So yes, I’m definitely over and beyond so happy and I’m excited.
Thank you I’m happy too. I’m happy that I was able to kind of like meet your expectations and beyond that and I’m looking forward for you to maintain that smile.
Thank you
