Temporomandibular Joint Disorder affects thousands of people. Although this is a fairly common condition with seemingly mild symptoms, you should not put off treatment. Many people may believe that treating TMJ involves invasive surgeries, but the solution can be simple. Your Sunny Smiles Dentistry in El Paso, Texas, can create a custom oral appliance to address this problem. In today’s blog, we’re here to discuss how TMD impacts your dental health, and how you can treat it.
Bringing your child to the dentist is just as important as your visits. These children’s dental visits help create good habits, prevent problems such as cavities, and ensure a healthy smile. Your kiddo’s needs will slightly differ from your own, which is why it is important to have a team of professionals that can tailor to their needs. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we offer care for your entire family, including your children.
It is no secret that your gingival tissue is important to your oral hygiene. Your gums protect your teeth, keep them in place, and help form your smile. To maintain healthy gingival tissue, and a healthy oral cavity overall, it is important to brush and floss twice a day and see your dentist every six months. If you begin to notice a change in your smile, your dentist can help diagnose and treat the problem. Issues such as gingivitis and periodontal disease can be treated or maintained with scaling and root planing. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry is here to explain how this can help you.
If you tend to breathe loudly in your sleep, you may be harming the quality of your rest and your family members as well. Although this is a common problem for many adults, it can be a sign of something more serious. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we can help you treat this problem and more.
Your smile is one of the first features people will notice when they see you. Having a symmetrical and even grin can boost your confidence, but when other cosmetic treatments like professional whitening or braces do not give you the results you are looking for, it can be disappointing. At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry in El Paso, Texas, we have a variety of options to help you achieve your desired look. If you are in search of a permanent solution that will improve the shape and brightness of your pearly whites, porcelain veneers may be a great option for you.
In recent blogs, we have talked about different cosmetic dentistry options to enhance your smile. Some patients may be looking for an option outside of professional whitening or bonding. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we offer gum contouring as well. This is a method to even your gingival tissue, allowing for a more symmetrical smile. In today’s blog, we are here to explain what gum contouring is and what to expect from this procedure.
In our last blog, we talked about how professional teeth whitening can help remove stains and brighten your smile. While this is a great option, this may not be the best solution for everyone. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we know that every patient has different needs they would like to address. Other cosmetic dental services may help them achieve the effect they are looking for. In our office, we offer several means of esthetic enhancements, including bonding and contouring. This minimally invasive treatment is effective and long-lasting and can be done in just one appointment.
Over time, the things that you love to eat and drink can lead to lasting stains on the surface of your teeth. These stains can penetrate your enamel and make it hard to remove them on your own. While there have been advances in over-the-counter treatments for yellowed and dull teeth, they do not come with the advice of a trusted oral health professional. When you want to achieve a bright smile, talk to an expert.
At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we can help you to banish those stubborn stains while keeping a close eye on the strength of your enamel. Overbleaching can cause lasting dentin sensitivity, and improper use of supermarket products can be harmful to your smile. Make the effort in talking with a professional about whitening your teeth at your next semiannual checkup and learn about your options. Give us a call today to set up your next visit! (more…)
If you read our recent blog on dental implants, you know that it can take several appointments to receive your new smile. This is necessary for the new structure to be sturdy enough to hold a crown, but we know that it can also be frustrating for the process to take so long. Today, your El Paso, Texas, dentist is here to talk about if same-day implants are right for you. To find out if you are a good candidate for this, read today’s post.
If you read yesterday’s blog about implants, you may already know that having missing teeth does more than affect your appearance. At Sunny Smiles in El Paso, TX, we have several ways to repair the gap in your smile. We will always do our best to restore your teeth back to their best health, but sometimes that is not possible. That is when bridges or dentures may be the best option for you.
