When you are missing one or more teeth, your quality of life can quickly suffer. While the immediate effect on your smile’s appearance is obvious, your oral health can take a toll as well. You may find yourself adjusting behaviors to accommodate your new condition. Avoiding certain foods becomes necessary to not cause pain within your sensitive socket. Your bite can misalign as neighboring teeth drift into the open gap left behind. But by talking to your dentist about options for prosthodontic replacement, we can design a lifelike implant that restores your tooth’s function and appearance.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we understand the difficulty of living with tooth loss. This is why we offer restorative treatments to help you combat the complications and regain your full smile. A dental implant offers the option to permanently secure within your jawbone to hold a prosthetic replacement above. For an individual tooth, we suggest placing a dental crown, while bridges and dentures can serve more advanced forms of missing teeth. By learning the advantages of prosthodontic replacement, you can feel confident in treating your dental loss.

We Provide Valuable Relief For Your Toothache

Posted by

Dental pain concept

A toothache can happen when you least expect it. The pain can become so severe that you have difficulty concentrating on anything else throughout your day. When this happens, get ahold of your dentist right away. Consistent dental pain is a common symptom of a serious tooth infection, and when left untreated, it can spread to other areas of your body. By inspecting your problem tooth, we can let you know if you require root canal therapy to relieve your pain. This procedure accesses the inner portion of your tooth’s pulp chamber to clear out all foreign material. After resealing your tooth, your bite returns without the pain of your body’s inflammation pushing against your sensitive nerves.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we provide emergency support to respond to dental injuries outside of your standard checkups. If you have a sporting accident, trauma, or sudden infection, give us a call. We will provide immediate therapy to get your pain under control and plan a restorative procedure when necessary. If your treatment requires permanently altering the tooth’s structure, we can place a crown to restore its appearance and function.

When you have a dental injury, the pain can quickly feel overwhelming. Because these situations can happen when you least expect them, having a game plan on who to contact can help speed up the care you receive. That’s why we offer emergency services to treat your tooth outside of your standard appointments. When infection or physical trauma takes hold of your smile, a more rapid response can increase your odds of successfully saving your tooth. Ignoring a symptom or waiting until your next dental visit can allow bacteria to take hold or spread to other parts of your body.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we provide a comforting atmosphere to provide dental care when you need it most. If you crack, chip, or knock out a tooth, or have any other serious oral pain, think of us when you need relief. We can address the immediate pain of your situation and help put you on the path to full recovery.

When was the last time you visited the dentist? If it has been a long time, we suggest scheduling a visit today! Adopting a preventive attitude toward your oral care can save you from stress and worry down the line. That’s because regular professional cleanings combine with your at-home efforts to prevent common oral threats like tooth decay and gum disease. By waiting until you see a painful symptom to call the dentist, it may be too late to provide a more conservative treatment for your dental problem. This can mean significant savings when you prevent the need for fillings, crowns, or other restorative treatments.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we look forward to being your partner in oral health. We provide thorough cleanings and examinations to help you maintain the beauty and function of your smile for a lifetime. By visiting regularly, we create a dental record that immediately alerts us when changes develop in your teeth. This helps us treat issues early in their development instead of allowing them to progress.

When stains begin to gather in your otherwise healthy smile, cosmetic dentistry can offer rapid improvement. If your teeth look a little less bright than they did in recent years, a professional whitening treatment could address stains that exist inside your teeth’s enamel. Our experts can examine your smile to determine the nature of your discoloration and provide alternative treatments as well. We can provide a set of porcelain veneers to help you tackle issues due to the loss of the enamel itself. Whatever the cause of your smile’s imperfections, we will work with you to design a treatment plan that restores your confidence in your grin.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we know that your smile takes center stage when making an impression. That is why we provide procedures that go beyond addressing the health and function of your smile. We often combine cosmetic treatments with restorative treatments to provide more comprehensive smile makeovers in patients with more complex dental issues. When it comes to the color of your smile, cosmetic enhancement is often the next step after addressing health concerns that lead to discoloration.

Why You Should Not Ignore Your Toothache

If you wake up with a toothache that lasts for more than a day, let us know right away. Ignoring this symptom could lead to serious complications as permanent dental pain can indicate a bacterial infection. If left to fester, the infection risks spreading to other parts of your body, so make seeking treatment a priority. By examining your problem tooth, we can provide a diagnosis that leads to swift treatment. We could provide root canal therapy to remove all decaying material and bacterial deposits to put you on the path to recovery. Because this procedure permanently alters the structure of your tooth, we can design and place a dental crown to restore your tooth’s strength afterward.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we understand that emergencies can occur outside of your regular checkups. That’s why we provide immediate services to help relieve your pain when you experience an infection. Because dental pain can quickly reduce your quality of life and ability to maintain focus, knowing who to call ahead of time can remove the hassle of determining how to receive treatment.
