There are two key areas of dentistry - general and cosmetic. While general focuses on treating and prevention, cosmetic improves the overall appearance of a person's teeth.
Dr. Claudia Cortadi, who is bilingual in English and Spanish, of Ablantis Dental has been treating, preventing and improving smiles for more than 19 years. Her team is experienced and knowledgeable about dental health and procedures such as porcelain veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening, and permanent crowns and bridges.
"We have the newest technology where we can make on-site, on-the-same-day veneers and crowns. We also have the Invisalign System, used to straighten teeth with clear, invisible braces, and the Zoom whitening system. We can also replace amalgam fillings with mercury-free, composite resin fillings," Cortadi said.
Having a state-of-the-art facility with the latest technology and procedures and a well-trained staff definitely makes most patients feel more relaxed; however, sometimes a person is just nervous about going to the dentist. Ablantis Dental also offers sedation, when and if necessary. Cortadi explained, "We offer options for patients and work hard to ensure that a patient feels comfortable and well cared for during a visit."

The Gupta Group
With today's economy, now more than ever many of us need a professional to help apply financial solutions. Yes, you can get free information from many sources - Internet, television and newspaper - but with so much information, it's natural to need help dissecting all of it.
This is the new normal, so it's time to re-evaluate and look at everything, and the Gupta Group can help. For more than 16 years, the Gupta Group at UBS Financial Services has been offering financial advice and wealth management services.
"Our team pays attention to detail. We don't work a lot of families, so we offer personalized service to our clients. We tend to be on the conservative side, where we take the least amount of risk, and work with clients to get objectives accomplished," said Ajay Gupta, senior vice president.
Gupta, who was born in Canada and recognized by Reuters in 2008 as one of the top financial advisers in America, brought his office to La Jolla in 2008. He now leads a team of seven financial advisers.
"I brought this team together on person at a time. The majority of our clients are retired or reaching retirement with a $2 million or more investment," Gupta added.
The Gupta Group is in the La Jolla Financial Building at 1200 Prospect St., Suites 500 and 375.
