In a recent blog, we discussed how bruxism or TMJ problems may be disrupting the quality of your rest. Along with these problems, snoring may be wreaking havoc on your circadian rhythm as well. If you frequently snore, or these sounds are loud enough to wake up your family members, you may have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, can help diagnose and treat this problem so that you can doze more peacefully.
If you often wake up with headaches, earaches, and a feeling of fatigue, something may be disrupting your sleep. Snoring and sleep apnea are often the culprits behind your rest being interrupted, but this could also be due to conditions like bruxism. Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, can examine your concerns and help diagnose the problem so that you can rest better.
Brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist may be habits that have already been ingrained into your life as essential routines. These steps are helpful ways to keep your breath fresh, avoid cavities, and prevent periodontal disease. If you do not regularly follow these steps, it is not too late to start them. Your Sunny Smiles Dentistry of El Paso, TX, is here today to remind you why these practices are important.

If you have damaged your tooth, or have severe decay, a crown can be used to bring it to its original condition. At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, we offer several methods of restoration. Fillings and root canals can repair cavities, or a crown can be used to repair your tooth after damage. These can help repair your pearly whites and eliminate the need for an extraction. In today’s blog, we will discuss when a crown can be used.
When you schedule your checkup, you should consider booking an appointment for your entire family. Your children need to see the dentist, too. While their visits may not look exactly the same as yours, their appointments are vitally important. They provide an opportunity for a professional to give advice on better hygiene, monitor for cavities, and offer extra treatment plans when needed. Your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, offers care for your entire family.
With Valentine’s Day a week away, you may be worried about having a healthy-looking and feeling smile. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is with preventive care. At Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, we offer comprehensive checkups to keep your pearly whites in good shape. If your last appointment was before August, you are due for your next visit.
When it comes to your pearly whites, your dentist will typically do their best to restore them instead of removing them if they are injured. Wisdom teeth are often the exception to this rule. While problems such as decay and cracks can be restored, impacted molars may benefit more from removal. To prevent complications from these extra molars, Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, can extract them.
Trauma to your pearly whites can lead to it being knocked out of place. If this happens to you, it is important to seek care as soon as possible. This can cause more problems than a gap in your smile. Leaving the space there can put you at risk of infection, cause other teeth to become misaligned, and may result in further loss over time. Your staff at Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, can examine the area and help treat it promptly.
If you have gaps in your smile, it’s important to have this fixed as soon as possible. Not only can it affect your confidence, but your dental health can be affected as well. One of the most effective ways to replace a missing tooth is with implants. This prosthetic replaces both the root and crown of your pearly whites. Typically, this can take several appointments over the span of a few months. However, Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, can offer same-day implants to patients who qualify. To learn more about this process, read today’s blog.
In recent blogs, we have discussed several cosmetic options available to our patients. We have professional whitening for patients with extrinsic staining, bonding for intrinsic blemishes, and contouring for uneven teeth and gums. However, if you have several problems you would like to improve on your pearly whites, veneers can target these all at once. These are applied to your natural teeth and can create the effect of a brighter and more even smile. Today, Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to explain what to know before this enhancement.
