In our last blog, we discussed how dental fillings can help restore a tooth after a cavity has occurred. This restorative process can stop the progression of decay and keep your pearly whites safe. If the cavity is more severe or is causing you serious discomfort, you may need root canal treatment to repair the area. Your Sunny Smiles team in El Paso, TX, is here to help understand how this process works and when it may be necessary.
Cavities are one of the most common problems that dental patients will face. Nearly every person will have at least one cavity in their lifetime. When this happens, it is important to stop the progression of decay as soon as possible. Usually, this can be done with a simple filling. Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, uses composite resin to accomplish this restoration.
When you have lost most of your teeth, you need a prosthetic to restore function and beauty to your smile again. For a new set of dentures that are fixed in place like natural teeth, we could secure All-On-Four in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about secure and lifelike same-day dental implant dentures.
When you smile, does it seem like more of your gums show than your pearly whites? Having a “gummy” grin may not necessarily pose a direct threat to your oral health, but it can look uneven or unappealing. And, in some cases, it can make it difficult to keep your gingival tissue properly cleaned. There is a way to safely reshape it to achieve a more symmetrical appearance. Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, offers gum contouring to improve the look of your periodontal tissue.
In recent blogs, we have been discussing ways to improve the appearance of your pearly whites. While cosmetic treatments are a great way to make your grin appear more vibrant, they can only address visual concerns. If you have injured or lost any of your teeth, they will need to be restored to help improve not only your appearance but your oral health as well. Your El Paso, TX, family dentistry is here today to talk about the many options of restorations available for your needs.
Our smile is one of the most prominent features that we have, so it is understandable that you want it to be stain-free and symmetrical. Factors such as certain drinks and foods, injury to a tooth, genetics, and more may cause your grin to become discolored. However, there are different methods required to address these stains depending on how they have occurred. If you have intrinsic discoloration, this can be disguised by adding composite resin to the area. Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX, offers this non-invasive enhancement.
When was the last time that you saw your dentist for a semiannual checkup and cleaning? For most people, these appointments are necessary every six months, and some patients may need an accelerated schedule of treatment due to certain genetic and environmental factors. Prevention is key in dentistry, so if it has been longer than six months since your last checkup, it is time to come in for a visit.
You need consistent dental checkups to maintain your smile, and you can rely on your oral health team at Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, TX to help you fight common concerns like tooth decay and periodontal disease. A dedication to these visits can provide protection for your smile, so if you have been putting off your appointments, it is time to find your way back to a positive schedule of checkups.

If you or your family member’s sleep is being interrupted by harsh breathing sounds, you may have a bigger problem than snoring. Loud and persistent snoozes may be an indicator of obstructive sleep apnea, which can take a toll on your well-being. This condition can potentially harm your mental, physical, and dental health. Luckily, Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, may be able to help diagnose and treat this problem.
When you have developed unsightly stains on the surfaces of your teeth, you may wish for a brighter smile. Our team can help you with that, with a treatment that brightens smiles by several shades.

If you frequently wake up with jaw pain, sensitive teeth, or headaches, these may be symptoms of either bruxism or temporomandibular joint disorder. The side effects of these conditions can be similar, and in some cases, patients may have both.
