Dr. Zorro uses fillings most often to fix cavities. To place a filling, the decay is first removed, and the gap is closed with dental material. So, dental fillings end the progression of decay and reinforce the weakened tooth structure. To book an appointment at Smiles for Health call our Carlsbad practice today. We will discuss your symptoms with you and, diagnose and treat your dental issues.
Dental sealant is recommended most in children and early teenage years. It’s during that time that a person is most likely to get dental caries. Ages 6-14, to be specific, are those we at Smiles for Health, Carlsbad recommend to get sealants.
Sealants last between 5-15 years. Your child may need more than one application of sealants if the first ones start to lose their consistency.
Our team genuinely believes in the benefit of receiving routine exams and cleanings near you. We encourage our patients to visit on a regular visit to keep their teeth and gums healthy and maintain a beautiful smile. Our dentist and entire crew feel passionate about making your experience at the dentist a pleasant one, so you’re more likely to receive exams and cleanings in Carlsbad as well as any other dental procedures you may need.
Our dentists at Smiles for Health in Carlsbad put their patients’ comfort first. They can make you as comfortable as possible if a tooth is damaged badly enough that an extraction is the only viable option for it. There are two types of extractions, simple and surgical extractions.
The first step of the procedure, after the anesthesia, is to clean the root canal and to decontaminate it using special small tools. This is important to clear all the infected tissue to stop the damage from getting worse.
Removing the inside of the tooth will make it fragile, so it’ll be necessary to provide the tooth with some kind of support. Crowns and fillings fulfill that supporting role perfectly. After they’re installed, you’ll be able to use the tooth regularly without any difficulties at all. You will most likely be able to chew on it a few hours after the procedure.
We care about our patients, and therefore offer dental bridges that fit seamlessly into the mouth and are comfortable to wear.
Dental crowns are crowns or caps that are commonly used to cover a damaged tooth in order to strengthen it or to improve the look of the tooth. While dental crowns are commonly made from porcelain or ceramic, crowns can be made from steel or resin.
Teeth whitening isn’t a luxury. Sometimes it can make a huge difference in a person’s life. Being self-conscious about one’s smile can drastically affect their lives. With a brighter and more confident smile, you can conquer anything, and at Smiles for Health, your wellbeing is our priority. You can book appointment with our expert for teeth whitening near you.
Veneers are a custom dental solution that is handcrafted to suit you and your needs. Because they need to be affixed to the teeth, the majority of patients are adults who can make such a decision. Once veneers have been applied, patients will not be able to go back to their natural teeth. Patients will also need to have healthy teeth to be able to get veneers.
Dental Implants One of the most common problems among adults in the United States is missing one or more permanent teeth. A variety of factors can cause this loss, but the most frequent is physical injury and poor oral hygiene leading to untreatable tooth decay. When someone loses a tooth, it can be an emotional experience. Patients are often self-conscious, and they worry about the future of their oral health with gaps. Here at Smiles for Health in Carlsbad, we offer dental implants near you for the patients with missing teeth.
Invisalign Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. The aligners are made of a special thermoplastic material that is specifically designed for comfort and durability. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss.

Everyone here is friendly and kind. Very knowledgeable and diverse staff who don't look at me like I have two heads when I say I don't use fluoride. Even gave suggestions on natural toothpaste alternatives. Definitely found our dental home!

Update: Just completed another check up. Years later I still love this place! Original: Wonderful dentist, assistants and amazing hygienist! I just completed my first visit and am thoroughly pleased. Super high tech! Very attentive and accommodating. Super friendly and very knowledgeable staff. I love that it is run by a single private dentist and not a dental group. Hygienist was incredibly gentle and thorough. I can't wait to go back! Although I hope I don't have to;

This dentist is wonderful. She was very attentive to my needs and the staff was very helpful with my insurance. I was able to have two cavities filled and the work was exceptional. They were also able to get me in for a cleaning. I haven't been to the dentist since the beginning of the pandemic. Im so glad I found this clinic.

I am not a big fan of going to the dentist (who is) and am particularly nervous around needles. Every employee at Smiles for Health shows great empathy and compassion making the experience far less anxiety inducing. I had quite a bit of work done in the past year to prep for SureSmile (clear aligners) and I'm happy to report that I now have no pain, no cavities AND straight teeth. Big thank you to the whole Smiles for Health team!

Dr. Zorro and her staff are a great team. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted warmly in a very comforting setting. While a dentist visit is no one's idea of a great time, they do everything possible to ensure the experience is a positive one. We feel fortunate to have them as part of our wellness program.

Had an X-ray and plan for cleaning, whitening, filling and redo of a crown that Gateway Denral had botched 5 years ago (tried to fix to no avail). I love every person that I've met there: Rebeca, Marcos, Taylor, Dr. Diana Zorro (awesome name and awesome dentist that I trust). Great communication; great listeners, organized, actually pleasant to be at the dentist's office. So far so good.

Just came in for my cleaning and exam. Dr Zorro was amazing as usual. She is kind sweet and professional. Evette did my cleaning for the first time. She was amazing too. She was caring, helpful, nice and thoughtful. She will be my families hygienist. It was a pleasure to work with such a thoughtful and caring person. Thanks again to Dr Zorro and Evette for all of your help. This is an a great place if you are looking for a great dentist and staff like Rebecca. Thanks again to all and see you next time. Jim M

Best dentist I have ever been too! I have a history of avoiding the dentist but this one was incredible! It is super welcoming and I have never felt so comfortable in a dental office and I have full confidence in the team's competence! Big shot out to Kiana for doing a great job and giving awesome tips for oral hygiene! Also want to say everyone I met was warm, kind and pro!

Dr. Zorro and her lovely staff were kind and accommodating to my needs. They communicated with me throughout the entire visit and made me feel at ease. They utilize hi-tech equipment that makes X-rays and head scans so efficient. I was a new patient and my first dental office visit with them was a pleasant and relaxing one.

I am grateful to have found Smiles for Health. The office and the staff are very comforting, The aromatherapy helped me feel at ease. Dr Zorro listened all my concerns and showed me all my teeth even the airway with the CBCT. I am grateful for what I was able to understand. She gave me many alternate solutions. I believe she cares about patients and I recommend Smiles for Health for all your dental needs.

This was the best root canal experience I have ever had. I was greeted at the door, they evaluated my situation, then I got x-rays. To see my mouth in a 3D image was a game changer. The Smile For Health staff are well and equipped with information and support. Safety First. My personal experience in the past was to fight the dentist, cotton swabs shoved in my mouth and lots of blood, sweat and pain. That is all I remember. Like I said, my root canal visit was like a day spa.

I had a very enjoyable first visit! Very informative, gentle and thorough! If an informed caring dentist, who takes a holistic approach is what you seek, then this is your gal! So glad I stumbled onto her site and now I've got the dentist I was looking for.

This is THE most amazing dental office I have ever been to! The office is brand new and is nice and clean. Their sanitary processes are on point. The cleaning was the best cleaning I have ever had. While Dr. Zoro scraped plaque during the cleaning, she did not poke and jab my gums. It was so pleasing to have a cleaning that was incredibly thorough yet gentle at the same time!

I also had to have a filing done. And this also, was the most amazing experience I have had getting a cavity filled! Again, she was so very gentle. I am so so happy to have found this dental office and I cannot recommend Dr. Zoro and her staff enough!
