Why Should I Get Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are crucial not only for maintaining the health and functionality of your teeth but also for preserving your overall oral health. Untreated cavities can lead to severe toothache, infection, and even tooth loss. Dental fillings also help prevent the progression of cavities and decay, saving you from potential pain and costly treatments in the future. Plus, thanks to modern dentistry, dental fillings are now more aesthetically pleasing, with tooth-colored fillings perfectly blending with your natural teeth.

"If I could give 100 stars, I would! My dad was seen today as a new patient and he was treated as family! Erika greeted us as soon as we walked in and helped him get checked in with no trouble. Brittney, amazing hygienist, was so kind, attentive, answered my dad’s questions, made sure he was comfortable throughout his cleaning and has hands of an angel because my dad did not feel any discomfort. Dr. Benavides, very kind, generous, professional and best bedside manners! If you are looking for a dentist, you have to schedule with Buena Vida Dental Studio! Thank you for taking great care of my dad."

The Benefits Of Dental Fillings
Restores Tooth Function And Structure
Dental fillings restore the normal function and structure of your natural teeth. They allow you to eat, chew, and speak properly, ensuring that you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort or pain.
Prevents Further Tooth Decay
By sealing off spaces where bacteria can enter, dental fillings prevent further decay. They act as a barrier, protecting your tooth from harmful bacteria that can lead to more serious dental problems if not addressed.
Enhances Aesthetics
Modern dental fillings are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Tooth-colored fillings are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, providing a healthy and natural-looking smile. No one will be able to notice you got a filling!
The Dental Fillings Treatment Process
Examination And Preparation
Dr. Carlos Benavides will first examine your teeth to determine the extent of decay. He may use various instruments or an X-ray to assess the damage. Once the decay is thoroughly evaluated, he will prepare the tooth for the filling. This involves numbing the area and removing the decayed material.
Cleaning The Cavity
Once the decayed material is removed, the next step is to meticulously clean the cavity. This is a crucial process that ensures no harmful bacteria or debris is left behind, which could potentially lead to further decay. Our dedicated team takes every precaution to create a clean environment within the cavity, preparing it thoroughly for the filling procedure.
Filling The Tooth
The final step involves the precise filling of the tooth. Our skilled team applies the filling material in careful layers, utilizing a specialized light to harden each one meticulously. Once the filling is securely in place, Dr. Benavides takes the extra step to delicately polish the tooth, guaranteeing that it seamlessly blends with the natural shape and appearance of your surrounding teeth. Your smile is in good hands with us.
