When you sustain a missing tooth, or as many as three in a row, then you need a prosthetic to protect your smile from major complications. To offer a lifelike solution to tooth loss, we could place a bridge. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about our traditional and implant-secured bridges!
We recommend seeing the dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning, keeping your smile healthy and strong. But in between these visits, what are signs that need dental care? In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about possible warning signs of poor oral health and what they could mean!
Even with the best of care, your pearly whites may still suffer harm. If you have broken, chipped, or cracked a tooth, it is important to have this looked at as soon as possible. Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, offers dental crowns to repair your smile after injury. This can prevent the damage from worsening and reduce the risk of infection. Today, we’re here to talk about when this restorative method is used.
If you have decay, you must have your tooth restored promptly with a filling. This treatment will stop the development of a cavity and repair the area. Cavities that are left untreated can continue to deteriorate the layers of your pearly white and could result in a painful infection. Root canal therapy (RCT) may be necessary if you begin to feel persistent discomfort, sensitivity, or swelling. In today’s blog, Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to break down what to expect from this treatment.
If you have a toothache, your teeth feel more sensitive than usual, or it feels like the area has changed texture, you may have a cavity. This common dental problem happens when plaque begins to wear away your enamel. Treatment for this can stop the progression of decay and repair your tooth. Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, offers composite resin fillings that blend in with your pearly whites.
When you have several visual concerns throughout your smile, it can be difficult to know where to begin corrections. You can start by whitening your teeth, bond composite resin to blemished areas, or you can contour jagged and unsymmetrical teeth to create a more balanced look. Instead of having several cosmetic enhancements done, use an option that can correct several imperfections at once. Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, offers porcelain veneers that can improve the look of your grin.
In recent blogs, we have discussed several ways to enhance your appearance. Professional teeth whitening can erase stains from your enamel, bonding can disguise blemishes, and prosthetic options can replace missing teeth. If the problems you have with your smile stem from having uneven or excessive gums, there is a way to help this as well. Today, your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, Texas, is here to discuss gum contouring.
In a recent blog, we discussed how dental crowns can be used to repair damaged pearly whites. This can eliminate the need for an entire adult tooth to be removed. But what do you do if the damage is too severe? If one of your permanent pearly whites has been lost due to an accident or other condition, we can still help. Today, your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso is here to explain the benefits of bridges or dentures.
With so many cosmetic improvements that can be made to your pearly whites, it can be hard to choose the best option for your needs. Professional whitening can lift surface-level stains and gum contouring can fix a gummy grin. But what do you do if you have discoloration below the enamel? This may appear as white, yellow, or brown spots on your pearly whites which can be caused by trauma, fluoride overuse, and other problems. To disguise the appearance of these problems, Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, uses composite resin to bond to the area. This simple correction can leave you with an even-appearing smile.
If you are an avid coffee or tea drinker, you may notice that your smile is not as white as it used to be. Unfortunately, some of your favorite beverages and foods may be to blame. To remove stains caused by these dark-colored beverages, Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, offers at-home teeth whitening kits. These are personalized to your needs and help achieve a more vibrant grin.
