Even after they reach an age where they can brush and floss for themselves, kids depend on their parents for oral health support. Because of this, you can feel a sense of guilt as well as alarm if you learn that your child needs treatment for a dental problem. You can be relieved to know that Sunny Smiles is prepared to help our youngest patients deal with dental trouble. We can provide a conservative treatment that puts a stop to any discomfort they feel and keeps their tooth safe. Timely care does more than just stop a cavity’s growth. By acting to treat trouble with a developing smile, we can prevent complications that affect their growth and lead to issues that have to be addressed later. (more…)
How Does A Filling Imitate Healthy Enamel?
Is there something that your dentist can do to restore your tooth without changing the way you look? Cavity treatment is important, because without the appropriate care your issue with decay will continue to worsen. Eventually, the problem can become so serious that advanced care has to take place to fully treat you. However, if you schedule restorative treatment in time, your dentist can make sure your tooth is protected after placing a filling that imitates your surrounding enamel. Sunny Smiles can provide a filling that preserves your appearance and restores your oral health. Our practice can also provide routine appointments where we check for early warning signs of trouble and provide support to help you avoid future problems. (more…)
How Can Veneers Help So Many People?
If you have concerns about the color of your smile, and another patient expresses an interest in cosmetic treatment because of enamel wear and tear, is there really one procedure that can help both of you?

Patients at Sunny Smiles can find out how treatment with veneers can put their ideal smile within reach. We can discuss the advantages to this and other procedures that can address concerns like malocclusion, dental discoloration, damage, and more! (more…)

When Is A Root Canal Called For?
Different procedures to treat cavities exist because, simply put, some patients will experience more damage from decay than others before they see their dentist. If you regularly attend routine exams, you can avoid problems with serious dental problems and be more likely to only need a filling for your treatment. However, someone who is not seeing their dentist on a consistent basis can remain unaware they have an issue with a cavity until their tooth becomes infected, at which point a more involved procedure, like a root canal, is necessary. Sunny Smiles is ready to help you take care of your oral health. We can address your needs if you have concerns about a relatively minor issue, or if treatment will demand a more advanced treatment.

Using A Professional Teeth Whitening Kit
After using a teeth whitening kit that you purchased from your grocery store or pharmacy, you may have felt deflated by how little your smile changed. While over the counter whitening agents can be easy to find, they can lack effectiveness, which means you can remain dissatisfied with the way you look. If you want to make your enamel many shades brighter, talk to Sunny Smiles about taking home a professional teeth whitening treatment! With a kit supplied by your dentist, you can more effectively fight the discoloration that has worsened over time. We can make sure this approach is right for you by evaluating your smile. If it appears something other than teeth stains is affecting the color of your smile, we can discuss the advantages of other cosmetic procedures. (more…)
The Trouble With Skipping Dental Checkups
Is it time for you to schedule your next dental exam? Unless you are told otherwise by your dentist, you should arrange a checkup every six months to stay current with preventive care.

Sunny Smiles is prepared to help patients of all ages stay consistent with preventive care. We provide routine checkups and cleanings for adults as well as pediatric visits for kids. At your next visit, we can make sure your smile is healthy and provide a thorough teeth cleaning.

Arranging Dental Visits For Your Family
While everyone in your family should maintain attractive, healthy teeth, you and your kids can have different needs and concerns when it comes to dental care. Simply put, children know less about oral hygiene, or about the threat posed by problems like cavities. Because of this, they can benefit from more guidance and instruction at regular checkups. For adults, information is still important, but regular checkups provide more support by offering early detection and treatment for problems that can worsen over time and become more difficult to manage. Sunny Smiles is able to provide people of all ages with the kind of dental care that truly benefits them. Because of this, we can provide the right support for everyone in your household! (more…)
