As we mentioned in our last blog, having missing teeth can disrupt your appearance and the mobility of your smile.

Sunny Smiles offers implants that can prevent further bone loss and replace your missing teeth. These can be used to support your dentures or other prosthetics. (more…)
Losing just a single tooth could cause serious problems for your oral health. Aside from the visual aspect of this issue, it can also cause changes for the function of your mouth. It may become difficult to chew certain foods or pronounce certain words correctly. Your team at Sunny Smiles can help replace your lost tooth and renew your smile’s function to its original state. Depending on the severity of your bone loss, a dental bridge or dentures may be helpful options for this problem.
One of the best ways to keep your smile healthy is by practicing preventive care. Unfortunately, though, brushing your teeth and seeing your dentist regularly cannot prevent all issues. Injuries like breaking a tooth can happen accidentally and should be treated as soon as possible to protect your smile. Your Sunny Smiles team offers dental crowns that can help protect and restore your pearly whites after an injury has occurred.
In our last blog, we mentioned that root canals may be necessary if your cavity cannot be treated with a filling. It can be used for deep decay, toothaches, extreme damage, and other concerns. This restorative option may seem intimidating for patients because it is slightly more invasive. The team at Sunny Smiles can help guide you through this procedure and help you feel at ease.
Your biannual dentist visit is an opportunity to get your teeth cleaned and check for any potential concerns.

In today’s blog, we’ll discuss why this restoration is necessary.

Do you grind your teeth at night? You may not be able to notice until symptoms begin to manifest. If this happens chronically for extended periods, it can harm your oral health.

This can help protect your smile from harm caused by these problems.
By now, you probably already know that you should visit your dentist twice a year for a checkup.
