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.
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.
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.
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.
