Emergency Treatment For An Injured Tooth
Dental trauma can be painful and alarming, but it can also feel unfair. After all, you (hopefully) take time out of every day to thoroughly clean your teeth.

However, a physical injury can lead to problems even if you have a great routine in place. Sunny Smiles can make this experience easier to deal with by bringing you in for emergency treatment.

Veneers Improve Smiles Hurt By Wear And Tear
Wear and tear is a potential problem for our teeth. For many, gradual changes will be hard to notice through the years. After all, our teeth are protected by remarkably strong outer layers of enamel. However, some will notice changes in the shape and general appearance of teeth as years of friction gradually hurt the way they look. If you feel that your smile no longer looks as attractive as it used to because of this issue, Sunny Smiles can help. Treatment with porcelain veneers can make positive changes that address many different concerns. These improvements can prove surprisingly durable, which means you can have an easier time preserving the changes made through your treatment. (more…)

When You Begin TMJ Therapy
Beginning TMJ therapy means starting treatment for an issue that can cause you to feel pain throughout your day. Problems with the alignment of your jaw joints, or stress on the muscles and joints, can make it harder for you to avoid pain when you bite, chew, or speak. At Sunny Smiles, we can help you move on from this problem, and we can take care of related issues that you may have with teeth grinding and clenching.

Covering A Cracked Tooth With A Crown
Once your tooth cracks, it becomes vulnerable to both infection and further physical harm. While our enamel is strong enough to hold up against biting and chewing pressures for many years, physical trauma can occur, and it should be taken seriously. The good news is that patients at Sunny Smiles can look forward to help when they need to see someone about an injured tooth. After we evaluate you, we can determine if it is necessary to restore the tooth with a crown. Once in place, it will provide functional support, and it can also preserve your smile. In some cases, we can respond to superficial damage by providing a less involved cosmetic procedure. (more…)
