If you’ve had a cavity before, you’ve likely had a dental filling done. This is a restorative treatment that stops the progression of decay and protects your tooth. In the past, materials like silver amalgam or gold were used for this process. Today, composite resin is a more popular choice due to its lifelike appearance and comfort. Your Sunny Smiles team is here today to explore the many benefits of composite resin.
Cosmetic dentistry is a popular way to improve the appearance of your smile. It can help whiten teeth, get rid of blemishes, and achieve a more balanced look. When deciding which option is best for your needs, what do you consider most important? Some people may want a quick and convenient solution, and others may prefer a long-lasting option, even if it takes longer to complete. Your Sunny Smiles team offers porcelain veneers that give you a permanently stunning smile for years to come. In today’s blog, we’ll explore the many benefits of this method.
In a recent blog, we discussed professional whitening options that can help safely remove stains from your teeth. This option is convenient and effective for many patients, but if you have stubborn blemishes or intrinsic discoloration, you may need alternative ways to improve your appearance. The team at Sunny Smiles also offers dental bonding, contouring, and gum contouring that can transform your pearly whites without making drastic changes.
Being told you have gingivitis can make you feel worried about the future of your oral health. When left untreated, it can progress into more advanced stages that can lead to several side effects for your smile. Thankfully, your Sunny Smiles team offers periodontal services that can help you manage your symptoms. In today’s blog, we’ll discuss preventing infections, signs to look out for, and how to best manage your symptoms.
Are you looking to erase those stains and achieve a brighter smile in a safe and effective way? If you are struggling with the look of your smile, your first stop should be to talk with your dentist about the problems that you are seeing. They can help you to better understand your oral health, and that can make a huge difference when it comes to treating enamel stains. Sometimes, plaque and tartar buildup can look strikingly similar to enamel stains, leading people to try an over-the-counter teeth whitening product when in reality, they need to see their dental hygienist for a thorough cleaning.
At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we are here to help our patients improve the appearance of their smile, while keeping a close eye on their oral health the entire time. Our office proudly employs the Philips Zoom! whitening kit process, giving you the opportunity to erase those stains with a simple and convenient at-home teeth whitening routine. Over-the-counter whitening products do not give you the information you need to make important decisions related to your dentistry, so start your path with a trip to the dentist for a semiannual dental checkup. While you are in the office, ask about your options to banish those stains from your smile with an effective teeth whitening solution from a trusted oral health expert.
Even with a dedication to your routine oral health of brushing and flossing, you still need to see the dentist from time to time for periodic visits for examinations and a thorough cleaning of your smile. Since the recommendation for these appointments is once every six months in an otherwise healthy individual, you may have heard these referred to as your semiannual dental checkup, but some people may need more frequent talks with their provider to keep themselves safe from tooth decay and periodontal disease.
Here at Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we understand the importance of oral health prevention, and that is why we place such an emphasis on having our patients stick to their schedule of exams and imagery. If it has been a while since your last visit to the dentist for a semiannual dental checkup, take the time to come into our office for a refresh.

When you break or crack one of your natural teeth, it can feel like the world stops spinning for a moment. In these times, it is important to remember what to do and who to call, so making the effort to learn about your steps can be a real help. Depending on the severity of your damage, you may need the help of an emergency dentist (or potentially even an emergency room), and even small chips and cracks can become major problems for your smile if you ignore them. Our team is here to help you pick up the pieces after injuring your smile, so give us a call if you have broken a tooth.
At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we know the importance and urgency of restoring a tooth after damage due to decay or injury. When you need to renew your smile, talk to our team about your options, and start your path with a visit for an examination. This way, we can determine the extent of the damage to your tooth and make decisions on treatment based on your needs. From the placement of a new crown to prosthodontic repair, we are ready to help you find your way back to the right oral health path.
When was the last time you saw your dentist? If you only come in for emergency care, your oral health may not be as well taken care of as you believe. Biannual checkups can help stay on top of your smile’s health, detect problems early, and prevent the need for invasive emergency treatments in the future. Your Sunny Smiles team offers cleanings and examinations for patients of all ages, so your entire family can be cared for.
In most cases, your dentist will do their best to protect your natural pearly whites and avoid the need to extract any. This rule does not apply to your wisdom teeth, though. Your third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, are usually planned to be removed before they can cause damage to your smile. Today, your Sunny Smiles team explores the planning process for wisdom tooth extraction.
If you have ever harmed a tooth, you know how alarming and frustrating this can be. A broken or cracked tooth can cause discomfort and worry. It’s important that you treat this problem as soon as possible so that it does not harm your smile. Your Sunny Smiles team offers lifelike dental crowns that can restore your pearly whites after harm. This restoration is a tooth-shaped cap that protects your damaged dental structure.
