A Doctor Who Cares
Meet Dr. Carlos Benavides
Dr. B earned a Bachelor's of Science in Health Sciences with an emphasis in Physiology from the University of Arizona, and he went on to study dentistry at Howard University College of Dentistry in Washington D.C. Dr. B worked as an associate for 6 years after graduating, honing his expertise and discovering what his own philosophy of care is. Now, with the opening of Buena Vida Dental Studio, he is able to provide the high-quality, thorough and conservative care that he believes all patients deserve.
When he’s not in the office, Dr. B enjoys staying active by using his home gym and taking his dogs off-roading in his Jeep. He also enjoys spending time with friends and family, trying new restaurants, and listening to live music.

Each member of the Buena Vida team is passionate about the total health and well-being of our patients. We’re a group of committed, compassionate professionals who are about to have fun while taking our work very seriously. We’re excited to invite you into the Buena Vida Dental Studio family!
What to expect
During your first visit
PATIENT EXPERIENCE
When you first walk through our doors of our dental office in Tucson, you’ll be greeted by our comfortable environment and our friendly office staff. You’ll be invited to sit down and relax as you fill out any new patient forms prior to your appointment. Once those are complete and our team is ready for you, we’ll invite you back into one of our operatories.
You'll receive x-rays, photos, a comprehensive exam, and Dr. B will sit down with you to discuss the results and develop the best plan for you; from your hygiene to any dental treatment needed. If everything looks good, you’ll be able to schedule your next appointment in the front office. If anything needs extra attention, Dr. B will explain the results and take time to address any questions or concerns you might have, and he will describe any further treatment recommendations.
