Dental Fillings
read moreFillings at Smiles for Health replace the damaged, worn or decayed portion of teeth. Once in place, a dental filling will protect the tooth structure and prevent further damage. As a result, the restoration will save the tooth from extraction. Traditionally, fillings were made from metal. Today, there is a range of dental fillings in use, including silver amalgam, composite resin, and porcelain. Also, the filling procedure is essentially pain-free, thanks to local anesthesia.
Dental Sealants
read moreOur natural teeth are solid, resilient, and give us beautiful smiles. One part of their design, however, can be considered a minor flaw. The presence of very shallow grooves and depressions in our teeth may be aesthetic, but it could be harmful. Bacteria and other pathogens can occupy these grooves. This helps them hide from the hygienic effect of our brushes and toothpaste. At Smiles for Health, we believe that one way to minimize the risk of infection from these grooves is to use a sealant.
Exams & Cleanings
read moreYou cant keep your teeth completely healthy and clean when you dont visit the dentist. Unfortunately, plaque and other debris remain on your teeth, even after you brush. As bacteria rests on your gum line, it can irritate your gums and lead to gingivitis. Additionally, avoiding routine exams and cleanings in Carlsbad can harm your teeth as well. At Smiles for Health, we offer dental exams and cleanings near you. Our dentist uses specialized tools to thoroughly clean your teeth while also evaluating your teeth for any issues.
Tooth Extraction
read moreOur 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. Simple extractions are done at our practice by one of our dentists. We offer some of the best sedition methods to ensure our patients are pain-free during this procedure. It only takes a few minutes for simple extractions after your mouth is numb, so you can usually get back to your day afterward.
Root Canals
read moreHere at Smiles for Health, we have enough experience and training to perform root canal and endodontics procedures in little time, painlessly, and with minimal discomfort. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment if you are looking for root canal treatment near you in Carlsbad, Ca. We are a practice dedicated exclusively to endodontic care.
Dental Bridges
read moreOne of our most efficient and comfortable options for patients who are missing teeth is the dental bridge, which can be completed in as little as two weeks. If you are struggling to do basic things like eating, chewing, or speaking, or are simply afraid to smile in public, then visit us today. You will receive quality treatment, a comfortable exam, and a relaxing environment where you can be open about your oral hygiene and concerns.
Dental Crowns
read moreIf youve been looking for ways to improve your smile in Carlsbad, perhaps its time to visit our Smiles for Health dentists. Our dentists would love to meet you and help determine the best course of action for you. With that being said, do you find that youre currently hiding your smile away due to chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth? Would you love to be able to confidently smile in photos? If so, perhaps a dental crown is the solution you need.
Teeth Whitening
read moreCosmetic dental procedures are something our clients ask us about at Smiles for Health in Carlsbad. Arguably the most popular of these is teeth whitening. Everyone wants a brighter smile, and rightly so. The tools are available to brighten peoples teeth, so why shouldnt they take advantage of them? Teeth whitening isnt a luxury.

With a brighter and more confident smile, you can conquer anything, and at Smiles for Health, your wellbeing is our priority.
Veneers
read moreSometimes people possess a healthy smile but remain unsatisfied with how it looks. Media tends to bombard the average person with images of impossibly perfect models, actors, and influencers, so it makes sense that you might feel unconfident about your smile. However, many of these media personalities share the same secret: veneers. If you would like to try this simple and semi-permanent cosmetic procedure, consider visiting Smiles for Health in Carlsbad.

Probably the nicest dentist office I've ever been to. Also appreciated how when we discussed Invisalign they told me right away how much my insurance would cover instead of sending me on a roundabout calling insurance. Highly recommend

I was very hesitant about seeking dental care. My dental health had lapse by a few years due to poor outcomes previously. After searching for a new office to go to I came across Smiles for health on yelp. I was able to make an appointment online. All of the staff were very warm and welcoming, I was given an extensive series of X-rays before Dr. Zorro came over.

She was very kind and through with her explanations. I didn't feel rushed or upsold with her treatment plan. Dental hygienist Taylor was also very patient and listened to my concerns. I returned today to start with my care, for fillings and a deep clean. I was initially anxious about the discomfort. However, none of the treatments were painful they were performed skillfully and with great attention to how I was tolerating the procedure.

I have to return for a follow up appointment, however this time I will not be appreciative I know I am in good competent hands. Highly recommended. Something I have never said about a dental practice before. So glad to have found Dr. Zorro and her wonderful staff.

This was my first visit to this dental office for a check up and cleaning as I was a few months overdue. I have to say it was one of the best initial dental visits I've experienced. The dental office was modern, clean, and advanced. The staff was friendly and made the whole experience very easy and as comfortable as possible. Dr. Zorro was very kind, gracious, and informative.

I'll be going back to get an old silver filling replaced soon. Not to say I look forward to more dental work, but I look forward to having another exemplary experience at this clinic.

I have "white coat syndrome" so I was very anxious about going to the dentist, but when I went to Dr. Zorro's office she not only had a gentle touch, but she also had a gentle heart. She helped ease my nerves, & relax through my visit. She was a real pro. I highly recommend her.

Dr Zorro is one of the best dentists I have known. I went through many offices here and there and always felt that they are more interested in your pocket than your heath. Her office staff and hygienists are very friendly and caring. Dr Zorro is very caring and does a professional job. My daughter has changed her dentist to her even though it is really far from her home. Thank you Dr Zorro!

I came in for a teeth cleaning and X rays with Ivette H. She was very professional, funny and her feedback on recommendations were very informative. When you walk in your greeted and made feel super welcomed by Rebecca and asks if you want a water/tea while you wait and she's fun to hang out with. 5 STARS with out a doubt.

Great experience as a new patient. Everyone at the office was very professional and respectful. I didn't get any snide remarks like I had in the past with other places for not having been to the dentist for a long time. Dr. Zorro was very nice and explained all the recommended treatments. She made me feel very comfortable and made sure I was okay throughout the examination. I didn't feel pressured into doing the treatments. I think I finally found a place I will be happy with

By Far one of the best Dentist offices I have been in. Great pre-appointment assistance. Great Welcoming and relax environment. Prices are not high - Not the push-sales-marketing type of business. On the contrary I left with many options and no pressure to make a decision. Dr. Zorro was very professional and honest. Highly recommended. Great location.

I left as a happy customer as you can tell. I went somewhere else in Escondido before and it was a rip off and push, push sales. I highly recommend "Smiles For Health" in Carlsbad.

I was so nervous to return to the dentist after years of neglecting my dental health. Mostly because I couldn't find a dentist that made me feel comfortable since I moved from LA to Oceanside. Well today that changed because Dr Zorro at Smiles for Health is wonderful! She is kind and easy to talk to. I knew I was going to need a treatment plan and I'm so glad I came here.

The office is clean, modern and comfortable. The staff are all so friendly and caring and make you feel right at home. I am confident that Dr. Zorro's office will get me back on track to getting my oral health in balance and maintaining my healthy smile once again! So glad I found this great dentist in Carlsbad.

Just started going here and so far have had a great experience. The staff are polite and super friendly. Dr. Zorro is knowledgeable and compassionate. I have super sensitive teeth and she took extra care with the examination. The staff will even follow up with a phone call to see how everything was going after I experienced some sensitivity during a routine visit.

The office is small but clean. For appointments they do blast you with reminders via text, email, and phone calls. Which may seem a little overwhelming, but I definitely appreciated them. No complaints so far.

This was the best dentist experience I have had! All of the staff - from the receptionist to Dr. Zorro - were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. The office is cute and comfortable, and the extra air filter inches from my face during the entire cleaning was much appreciated. 5 stars!
