"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 Tooth Extractions
Pain Relief
Tooth extractions can provide immediate relief from severe toothaches caused by decay or damage. Dr. Benavides uses modern anesthetics and techniques, ensuring the procedure is as painless as possible and providing post-operative care instructions to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery.
Prevention Of Further Damage
By removing a problematic tooth, extractions can prevent the spread of infection and preserve the health of surrounding teeth and gums. This proactive approach can save patients from future pain and more complex and costly dental procedures.
Paves The Way For Restorative Procedures
Tooth extractions can make room for effective restorative procedures like dental implants, bridges, or orthodontic treatment. These procedures can restore the function and aesthetics of your smile, boosting your confidence and quality of life.
The Tooth Extraction Treatment Process
Examination And X-Rays
The tooth extraction process starts with a comprehensive exam of the affected tooth and the surrounding gums and bone by Dr. Benavides. This initial assessment will include detailed X-rays to accurately assess the tooth's position, the condition of surrounding bone, and the proximity to nerves and sinuses. These insights are crucial for planning a safe and effective extraction, especially if the tooth is impacted or presents complex issues.
Anesthesia
Before the extraction, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area and ensure the patient's comfort throughout the procedure. At Buena Vida Dental Studio, your comfort is a top priority, and sedation options may be offered to alleviate anxiety and make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Extraction
Once the area is fully numb, Dr. Benavides uses specialized dental instruments to gently loosen and extract the tooth. The technique is designed to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues, promoting a quicker and smoother recovery. The team at Buena Vida Dental Studio is dedicated to performing extractions with precision and care.
