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.
Completely Makeover Your Smile With Veneers
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.
Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Tooth
When a patient hears that they will need a more invasive treatment, like root canal therapy (RCT), it may cause them to worry. These procedures often have a negative association with pain or discomfort. However, restoring a damaged or severely decayed tooth can save you from more serious problems in the future. In today’s blog, Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to explain the purpose of RCT and its benefits.
Do I Have To Fill A Cavity?
It is estimated that nearly 90 percent of all adults in the U.S. have had at least one cavity in their lifetime, which means it is likely that you are familiar with how they are treated. Fillings are used as a way to stop the progression of decay and protect your pearly whites. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here to explain why this process is essential to your dental health.
Should You Get Gum Contouring?
With so many cosmetic treatments available to patients, it can be overwhelming to know which are right for you. Professional teeth whitening can brighten your smile, and bonding can disguise minor blemishes. You can even pair these services with gum contouring, which gently reshapes your gingival tissue. This can help your grin appear to be more symmetrical. In today’s blog, your El Paso, TX, dentist will explain the benefits of this treatment and what to expect during this process.
Bonding And Contouring – An Alternative Cosmetic Treatment
In our last blog, we talked about professional teeth-whitening services available to our patients. This is a great option for people with extrinsic stains on their pearly whites. However, if you have deeper discoloration or other blemishes, teeth whitening will not be able to improve these problems. Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, offers other cosmetic treatments to enhance the look of your grin. One of these methods is bonding and contouring.

Do You Have A Snoring Problem?

The Link Between TMJ And Bruxism
When it comes to your dental health, there are more concerns than cavities or bad breath. You may not know it, but you could be grinding your teeth in your sleep. If you frequently wake up feeling tired, have headaches, or an aching pain around your face, you may have TMD or bruxism. These disorders are often found together and can cause problems for your physical and dental health. Your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, is here today to explain how we can help with these problems.
Preventing Periodontal Disease
When it comes to your oral health, it is important that you do not neglect your gums. This tissue acts as a barrier to infections and holds your teeth in place. You should be flossing twice a day, along with brushing your teeth. This can prevent problems like gingivitis which can cause the gingival tissue to swell, bleed, and can even be the cause of your bad breath. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we are here to help keep your gingival tissue and teeth healthy with preventive care and periodontal cleanings when necessary.
