Dental Cleanings

 

Your pearly whites work overtime at mealtimes (and snack times for us grazers), so it's high time they get some TLC. Brushing twice a day keeps the cavities at bay, but it can't replace a pro scrubdown by a licensed dental hygienist. The American Dental Association (ADA) says you should get those chompers professionally cleaned every 6 months if your teeth and gums are in good shape. More often if you've got gum disease.

If your gums are giving you grief, the ADA suggests your dentist take a peek at the state of your smile and decide if you need more frequent cleanings. Gum disease means a cleaning every 3-4 months until your mouth gets happier. As your oral health improves, your dentist will lengthen the time between cleanings until you're back to a biannual deep clean.

So take your teeth on a spa date twice a year - or more if the gums are glum. Keep those pearly whites sparkling with regular professional polishings!

Tooth Colored Fillings

 

Candy tastes delicious, and cavities happen! Now what?

Fillings are an effective way to replace lost tooth structure. Tooth colored fillings match the color of your natural teeth, allowing the filling to blend in and almost disappear into the tooth. Tooth colored fillings are made of plastic, and have their limitations on when and where they can be used in the mouth. At our office, we can guide you through your best options on how to fix your cavities.

Enhancing Smiles with Advanced White Fillings!

At Benavent Dental, we believe in preserving the natural beauty of your smile while ensuring optimal dental health. Our white fillings offer a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality, restoring your teeth with precision and care.

 Crowns

Fillings fill “in” a tooth; crowns fill “on” the tooth. When you have more “filling” than “tooth”, it’s usually time for a crown. Crowns fit over your tooth and replace the entire outside of the tooth with a strong and durable material. The key difference between a crown and a filling is the way force is directed onto your tooth. A filling will act as a wedge, trying to split the tooth apart, while a crown will transmit the force over the outside of tooth and down the outside of the root, just like a natural tooth does. This proper transfer of force is why a tooth is actually stronger with a crown than with a huge filling.

Crowns come in different forms as well ranging from purely functional (gold crowns) to purely cosmetic (ceramic crowns) and everything in between. Our expertly trained dentists will be able to guide you to selecting the best type of crown for you. Give us a call to set up an appointment to evaluate your particular needs and guide you to the best option for you.

 

Crowns: Restoring Your Smile with Confidence

At Benavent Dental, we understand the significance of a healthy and brilliant smile. That's why we offer top-notch dental crown services to our valued patients. Dental crowns are a versatile restorative option that can enhance both the appearance and functionality of your teeth. Whether you require crowns to strengthen weakened teeth or to improve their aesthetic appeal, our experienced team is here to help you regain your confidence and get back to enjoying life.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover a damaged or compromised tooth, encapsulating it entirely from the gumline upwards. Crafted with care and precision, our dental crowns are made from high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials like porcelain fused to metal. These materials ensure the crowns are not only durable but also blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result.

How Can Dental Crowns Help You?

1. Strengthening Weak Teeth

Weak or damaged teeth can hamper your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dental crowns can restore functionality to these teeth by encasing them, strengthening their structure, and preventing further damage. Crowns provide stability to weakened teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry.

2. Restoring Decayed Teeth

When dental decay compromises a significant portion of a tooth, a crown can be a viable solution. By removing the decayed portions and capping the tooth with a crown, the aesthetics and function of the tooth can be fully restored. This allows you to maintain a natural-looking smile while preserving as much of your tooth as possible.

3. Correcting Misshapen or Discolored Teeth

Sometimes, a tooth may appear discolored, misshapen, or be inherently weak due to genetics. Dental crowns provide an excellent solution by covering the tooth completely, restoring its natural appearance, and creating a uniform smile. With our advanced techniques and materials, we can match the shade and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend.

4. Supporting Dental Implants

Dental crowns are an integral part of the dental implant restoration process. After a dental implant is surgically placed in the jawbone, a custom-made crown is attached to it, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement for a missing tooth. Our team has extensive experience in dental implant restorations, ensuring a successful and long-lasting outcome.

The Benavent Dental Difference

At Benavent Dental, we prioritize patient comfort, safety, and satisfaction. When you choose us for your dental crown needs, you can expect:

  • Expert Care: Our team of highly skilled and experienced dentists will assess your unique dental needs, recommend the most suitable crown treatment plan, and ensure the highest quality of care in every step of the process.

  • State-of-the-Art Technology: We invest in the latest dental technology and techniques to provide precise, efficient, and comfortable dental crown procedures. From digital impressions to computer-aided design and manufacturing, our cutting-edge tools ensure exceptional results.

  • Affordable options: We believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality dental care. Our friendly team will discuss your treatment options and offer flexible payment plans, insurance coordination, and financing options to make your dental crown treatment as affordable as possible.

At Benavent Dental, our expert team is ready to provide you with exceptional dental crown services to restore your smile and confidence.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants

Dental implants are prosthetic teeth that can be used to replace a missing tooth. These marvels of engineering use the latest technology in titanium bio-compatibility to produce a stable artificial root onto which a new dental crown can be attached.

The end result is a new tooth that sits on its own root without affecting adjacent teeth. This allows you to replace a missing tooth without large and cumbersome denture or without affecting the neighboring teeth, as would be the case with a fixed bridge.

While dental implants are a wonderful way to replace missing teeth, they are not always the best option. This is why it is best to ask a dentist for their opinion on how to properly replace your missing teeth. What works great for most might not be the best option for you!

 

Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Your Missing Teeth

Are you tired of dealing with the inconvenience and discomfort of missing teeth? Look no further! At Benavent Dental, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art dental implant solutions that can give you back your smile and improve your quality of life.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth or dental crowns. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are a permanent and long-lasting solution.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

1. Enhanced Appearance

Missing teeth can have a significant impact on your self-confidence and how others perceive you. Dental implants are designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result. They restore your smile and help you regain your self-assurance.

2. Improved Oral Health

Dental implants are inserted into the jawbone, which stimulates bone growth and prevents bone loss. This stimulation helps to maintain the natural shape and density of your jawbone. Additionally, dental implants do not require reducing the size of adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridgework, keeping your overall oral health intact.

3. Restored Functionality

One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is their ability to restore the functionality of your teeth. With implants, you can comfortably bite, chew, and speak, just as you would with your natural teeth. This allows you to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about discomfort or limitations.

4. Longevity and Durability

Dental implants are an investment in your oral health that can last a lifetime if properly maintained. They are made from high-quality materials that are resistant to decay and deterioration. With regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene, your dental implants will serve you well for many years to come.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Consultation and Treatment Planning

During your initial consultation with our experienced dental team, we will conduct a comprehensive examination and discuss your dental history and expectations. Using advanced dental imaging technology, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

2. Implant Placement

The dental implant surgery is a minor procedure performed at Columbia Center for Implants and Periodontics. Their skilled surgeons will precisely position the implants into your jawbone. Over a period of a few months, the implants will gradually fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and secure foundation.

3. Restoration Placement

Once the implants have fully integrated, we will attach custom-made dental crowns or prosthetic teeth to the implants. These restorations will be carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.

4. Follow-up Care

After your dental implant procedure, we will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. These visits are crucial to ensure that your implants are functioning correctly and that you maintain good oral hygiene.

Regain Your Smile with Dental Implants

Missing teeth should not hinder your daily life or compromise your confidence. With dental implants at Benavent Dental, you can reclaim your smile, restore your oral functionality, and enjoy a renewed sense of self-assurance. Don't wait any longer – schedule a consultation with us today and take the first step towards a beautiful, healthy smile!

False Teeth

 

False Teeth are an economical option to replace all or most of your teeth! They are custom fitted to your gums to allow you to chew your food once again. False teeth are able to replace all your missing teeth and give you your smile back.

If you have a few teeth left, we can make you a Partial Denture that uses the remaining teeth stability while being supported by your gums. If you don’t have any teeth left, we can make you a Complete Denture which is completely supported by your gums. Our expertly trained dentists can design your false teeth in a way that they will give you the best result possible for your situation.

 

Restoring your Smile and Confidence

Are you looking for a reliable solution to replace missing teeth? Look no further than Benavent Dental! We take pride in providing top-quality dentures that not only restore your smile but also boost your confidence.

Comprehensive Assessment and Customization

Our experienced dental professionals begin with a comprehensive assessment of your oral health. We take the time to understand your unique circumstances, including any existing dental issues and your desired outcome. This thorough evaluation ensures that we offer the most appropriate denture solution for you.
After the assessment, we work closely with you to customize your dentures. We take into account factors such as the size, shape, and shade of your natural teeth to ensure a seamless and natural-looking fit. Our team utilizes the latest advancements in dental technology and materials to create dentures that are durable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing.

Types of Dentures

At Benavent Dental, we offer a variety of denture options to cater to your specific needs:
1. Full Dentures: If you have lost all your teeth on the upper and/or lower jaw, full dentures are an ideal solution. These removable appliances are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth, providing you with a complete and functional smile.
2. Partial Dentures: If you still have some natural teeth remaining, we recommend partial dentures. These custom-made appliances fit seamlessly alongside your existing teeth, filling in the gaps for a natural appearance. Partial dentures not only restore your smile but also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting.
3. Implant-Supported Dentures: For those seeking a more permanent solution, implant-supported dentures are an excellent option. These dentures are firmly anchored to dental implants, providing superior stability and eliminating the need for adhesives. Implant-supported dentures offer enhanced comfort, confidence, and durability.

Denture Repair 

 

Accidents happen and dentures can break! Fret not, for they can usually be repaired as well.

If your denture has a mishap and breaks, bring it in (with as many pieces of it that you can find) and we can usually repair it in a timely manner. For small repairs, we can fix it in the same day. For more serious repairs, we can have it fixed up like new in a few weeks.

The most important part of denture repairing is: Don’t try to fix it yourself first! It might seem like an easy fix and SuperGlue might seem like an easy fixer, but it actually makes repairing the denture harder when you bring it in. Dentures need to fit perfectly, and it takes skill and experience to properly repair a denture. If you bring it in broken we can usually get it fixed better than if you bring it in after having “tried to fix it first”.

If you had an accident and now your denture broke, give us a call to get it fixed up for you!

 

Tooth Removal

When your tooth hurts and you just want it out, we can help you.

Sometimes, a tooth just needs to come out. This can be for a variety of reasons: not enough space for your tooth to stay, big cavities, or the tooth just broke.

Whatever the reason, tooth extractions are quickly and efficiently performed by our well trained staff.

If your tooth is hurting and you think it might need to be pulled out, give us a call and we will work you into the schedule to get you out of pain and back into comfort!

Extractions at Benavent Dental

At Benavent Dental, we understand that dental extractions can be a source of concern for many people. However, we want to assure you that our experienced team is here to provide you with exceptional care and comfort during the entire process. Our priority is to ensure your oral health and overall well-being.

The Need for Extractions

There are various reasons why a tooth extraction may be necessary. Some common scenarios include:
1. Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed, and the damage is beyond repair, an extraction may be recommended to prevent further oral health complications.
2. Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Often, wisdom teeth do not have sufficient space to properly erupt, leading to pain, misalignment, or infection. In such cases, removing the impacted teeth may be the best solution.
3. Orthodontic Reasons: In some orthodontic cases, extraction of teeth is required to create more space for proper teeth alignment.
4. Infection or abscess: If a tooth infection cannot be effectively treated with root canal therapy or antibiotics, extracting the affected tooth may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection.

Our Approach to Extractions

When you visit Benavent Dental for an extraction, rest assured that our skilled and compassionate team will guide you through the process step by step. Here's what you can expect:
1. Thorough Examination: Before recommending an extraction, our dentists will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and visual inspection, to assess the condition of the affected tooth and surrounding structures.
2. Anesthesia Options: We understand that dental procedures may induce anxiety. Rest assured that you will be fully numb before we get started and the procedure will happen as painlessly as possible!
3. Gentle Extractions: Our experienced dentists perform extractions with utmost care and precision, using modern techniques and instruments. We prioritize your comfort during the procedure, ensuring minimal pain and discomfort.
4. Post-Extraction Care: After the extraction, our team will provide you with detailed instructions on aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery. If necessary, we may also discuss tooth replacement options to restore your smile's aesthetics and functionality.

Your Comfort is Our Top Priority

In addition to our skilled dental professionals, we strive to create a comfortable and welcoming environment at Benavent Dental. From the moment you walk through our doors, our friendly staff will greet you with warm smiles and provide any necessary information or support.

Salivary Testing

Testing the bacteria in your Saliva is a very easy way to screen for serious diseases such as Cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, Heart Disease, and Complications During Pregnancy.

 
 

Saliva Testing: A Revolutionary Approach in Dental Care


Saliva testing is a groundbreaking diagnostic tool that has transformed the field of dentistry. Gone are the days of relying solely on subjective assessments and invasive procedures. With saliva testing, dental professionals can uncover vital information about their patients' oral health in a simple, non-invasive manner.

What is Saliva Testing?

Saliva testing, also known as salivary diagnostics, involves the collection and analysis of saliva samples to identify various biomarkers related to oral health. These biomarkers provide valuable insights into the condition of the patient's teeth, gums, and overall oral well-being.

Key Benefits of Saliva Testing

Early Disease Detection

Saliva testing empowers dental professionals to detect oral diseases, such as periodontal disease and oral cancer, in their earliest stages. By identifying these conditions sooner, dentists can implement proactive treatment plans, significantly improving patients' outcomes and overall quality of life.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Each individual's saliva contains unique genetic and biochemical markers that can provide valuable information about their oral health and overall physiological state. This enables dental professionals to tailor treatment plans specifically to the patient's needs, ensuring optimal care and better treatment outcomes.

Non-Invasive and Painless

Say goodbye to inconvenient and uncomfortable invasive procedures! Saliva testing offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional methods, making it more accessible and comfortable for patients of all ages. Collecting a saliva sample is quick, painless, and can be done in the comfort of the dental office.

Cost-Effective and Time-Saving

Saliva testing is a cost-effective and time-saving solution for dental practitioners. The simplicity of the procedure means less time spent on sample collection and processing, allowing dentists to see more patients in a day. Furthermore, early disease detection can prevent costly and extensive treatments down the road, saving patients both time and money.

Applications of Saliva Testing

Saliva testing has a wide range of applications in dentistry, including:

  • Periodontal disease screening and monitoring

  • Oral cancer detection and monitoring

  • Caries risk assessment

  • Assessment of hormonal imbalances impacting oral health

  • Identification of genetic markers associated with oral diseases

  • Monitoring the effectiveness of dental treatments

The Future of Dentistry: Saliva Testing

Saliva testing represents a paradigm shift in dental care. As technology advances, the potential for further developments in this field is limitless. From identifying specific bacterial pathogens to detecting systemic health conditions, saliva testing is revolutionizing the way dental professionals approach patient care.
At Benavent Dental, we are pioneering the integration of saliva testing into our practice. We believe that by embracing this modern diagnostic tool, we can further enhance the oral health and overall well-being of our valued patients.

Introducing Invisalign: The Clear Choice for a Confident Smile
Are you tired of feeling self-conscious about your smile? Do you dream of straighter teeth without the hassle of traditional metal braces? Look no further than Invisalign – the clear choice for a confident smile!

Straighten Your Teeth Discreetly with Invisalign at Benavent Dental


Are you dreaming of a straighter smile but hesitant about the idea of traditional metal braces? Look no further! At Benavent Dental, we are excited to offer our patients the innovative Invisalign system for a more comfortable, convenient, and discreet orthodontic solution.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that utilizes clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. Instead of using metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are custom-made for your unique smile using advanced 3D imaging technology.

The Invisalign Process

1. Initial Consultation:

During your initial consultation at Benavent Dental, our experienced orthodontic team will evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you. We'll address any concerns or questions you may have, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2. Custom Aligners:

Using digital scans or physical impressions, we will create your custom aligners. These aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, making them comfortable and virtually invisible when worn.

3. Wearing the Aligners:

Once your custom aligners are ready, you will begin wearing them. It's essential to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Every two weeks or as advised by your orthodontist, you will progress to a new set of aligners, gradually moving your teeth into their desired positions.

4. Check-ups:

Regular check-up appointments at Benavent Dental will be scheduled to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. These appointments are typically scheduled every 6-8 weeks, allowing us to ensure that your treatment plan is on track.

5. Completion of Treatment:

After the recommended treatment duration, you will achieve a beautifully aligned smile. To maintain your results, a retainer will be provided to wear at night while you sleep. This will prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

The Benefits of Invisalign

1. Discreet Treatment:

One of the primary advantages of Invisalign is its virtually invisible appearance. The clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing unnecessary attention to your orthodontic treatment. Whether you have a professional job or a special event coming up, Invisalign lets you maintain your confidence throughout the treatment process.

2. Comfort and Convenience:

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, minimizing discomfort and irritation to the gums and cheeks. They are also easily removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without any restrictions. Simply remove the aligners during meals and return them immediately afterward.

3. Better Oral Hygiene:

With Invisalign, oral hygiene is a breeze! Unlike traditional braces, the aligners are removable, making it easier to brush and floss your teeth thoroughly. Maintaining good oral hygiene throughout your treatment ensures healthy teeth and gums.

4. Time Efficiency:

Invisalign treatment typically takes less time compared to traditional braces. Although individual treatment duration may vary, many patients achieve their desired results in 12 to 18 months, a shorter timeframe than with conventional orthodontic methods.

Discover Your Perfect Smile with Invisalign at Benavent Dental

At Benavent Dental, we believe that achieving your dream smile should be a comfortable and convenient journey. With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth discreetly, with minimal impact on your lifestyle. Say goodbye to metal braces and hello to a beautifully aligned smile!
Contact us today to schedule your consultation and learn more about how Invisalign can transform your smile. Our friendly team at Benavent Dental is here to guide you through every step of the process.

Wisdom Teeth 

20151015_132232.jpg

Wisdom teeth, they aren’t always so wise!

Wisdom teeth, so called because they come into your mouth when you are much older than all of your other teeth, and therefore are thought to be more “wise” can run into some problems along the way.

If your teeth are big, and your jaw is small, they simply wont fit. In these cases, they should be removed before they finish forming.

You might be wondering: why not let them form all the way and pull them if they cause a problem?
The reason is simple, if they are going to come in and be fine, our trained staff will tell you so and then monitor their progress as they come into the mouth. If they are not going to come in properly and get stuck (also called impacted), our staff will be able to tell because they have received special training in this particular field. When they see that a problem will arise in the future, they will recommend that you have your wisdom teeth removed before the problem develops all the way.

When you remove the wisdom teeth as small “buds”, the roots have not formed yet and the entire tooth is still small since it never finished forming. If you let the tooth form all the way, you will have large roots to extract as well and the healing process will be much more memorable.

If your wisdom teeth are starting to bother you, give our office a call to have our trained dentists look.

Wisdom Teeth Removal: Everything You Need to Know

At Benavent Dental, we understand that wisdom teeth removal can seem daunting and unfamiliar to many patients. That's why we're here to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about this common dental procedure. In this article, we'll cover the purpose of wisdom teeth, the need for removal, the process itself, and what to expect during recovery.

Understanding Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge during the late teens or early twenties. These teeth were once useful for our ancestors who required the extra chewing power to break down tough foods. However, with the evolution of our diets and changes in jaw size, many people's mouths no longer have sufficient space to accommodate these extra teeth.

Why Wisdom Teeth Removal is Necessary

When there isn't enough space for wisdom teeth to grow in properly, various dental issues can arise. Some common problems associated with impacted wisdom teeth include:
1. Crowding: Wisdom teeth can exert pressure on the surrounding teeth, leading to misalignment and overcrowding.
2. Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth may develop at an angle or get trapped beneath the gumline. This can cause pain, infection, and even damage to adjacent teeth.
3. Tooth Decay and Gum Disease: Due to their location at the back of the mouth, it can be challenging to clean wisdom teeth properly. This can result in tartar buildup, tooth decay, and an increased risk of gum disease.
4. Cysts and Tumors: In some cases, wisdom teeth can lead to the development of cysts or tumors, causing bone and tooth damage.

The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process

Before the procedure, our experienced dental team will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the position and condition of your wisdom teeth. Based on your specific situation, we will recommend whether extraction is necessary.
When it comes to the extraction process, you can rest assured that you'll be in capable hands.
During the extraction, the dentist will make an incision in the gum tissue if required and remove any bone blocking access to the tooth. Then, they will extract the wisdom tooth and suture the incision closed, if needed. The duration of the procedure depends on the complexity of the case and the number of teeth being removed.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following your wisdom teeth removal, it is normal to experience some swelling, discomfort, and possibly mild bruising around the extraction site. Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions, which may include:
1. Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications can help alleviate any post-operative discomfort.
2. Oral Hygiene: Gentle rinsing with warm saltwater and careful brushing around the extraction site are essential for clean healing.
3. Dietary Considerations: Stick to a soft diet and avoid chewing near the extraction site for a few days to promote healing.
4. Follow-up Appointments: Regular follow-up visits will ensure that your recovery is progressing as expected.

Your Trusted Partners at Benavent Dental

If you're experiencing wisdom tooth pain, suspect impacted wisdom teeth, or simply want to explore your options, our compassionate dental professionals are here to help.
