Dental Implants Help Restore Lost Teeth

Posted by

If you have recently lost one of your teeth, you understand how abrupt the changes to your everyday life can be. Activities you once took for granted now require more sensitivity than before. You may find yourself avoiding previously favorite foods that could injure the open socket in your smile. Because our teeth help form our speech, your voice can begin to sound different to yourself and others. Without replacement, your remaining teeth may drift into the open area, causing significant misalignment of your bite. As your bite misaligns, you may strain your jaw, creating serious tension, pain, and soreness that can lead to TMJ disorder. Because dental misalignment can wear down the surfaces of certain teeth, you even become more at risk for developing cavities and gum disease.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer restorative solutions to missing teeth in the form of implant dentistry. By measuring the dimensions of your oral structures, we can create a prosthetic that anchors to your jawbone to recreate your lost tooth. A crown placed at the top of your implant can mimic the original appearance of a tooth and blend seamlessly with your smile. Enjoy an esthetic and functional return to form with the aid of your new dental implant.

Emergency Relief For Your Toothache

If you wake up with a constant toothache that will not go away after more than a day, please give us a call right away. This is a common sign of a dangerous infection that left alone, risks spreading to other parts of your body. We can grant an appointment to X-ray your problem tooth and determine if bacterial deposits are present in the tooth’s inner chamber. If so, root canal therapy can remove all foreign material to end your body’s painful inflammatory response. This brings instant relief and allows you to begin healing. Because this process alters the surface of your tooth, we also plan restorations that help you regain your tooth’s form and function.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we are standing by to help you in your time of need. While routine dental checkups can detect common oral threats like cavities or gum disease, an infection needs to be treated right away. That’s why we see you outside of your normal visitation schedule to offer immediate care. When your infection is under control, we can discuss methods for preventing future outbreaks.

Treating TMJ Disorder With A Mouthguard

Posted by

What steps do you take to protect your smile? Your daily oral hygiene habits help remove plaque that builds on the surface of your teeth. This forms your basis for protection against tooth decay, gum disease, and other common threats. But what can you do about the danger that occurs while you are asleep? If you wake up each morning with pain or stress in the joints of your jaw, you may experience a condition called TMJ disorder. Without treatment, TMD causes severe difficulty opening and closing your mouth properly while presenting pain throughout your day. This can stall your ability to go about your day as you constantly stop to deal with your mouth pain. By speaking with your dentist, we can examine your situation and provide a non-surgical treatment to grant relief. With the help of a custom, BPA-free, mouth guard, you can gently slide your jaw into a more comfortable position while you sleep. This helps take hours of stress off your joints to allow you to wake feeling refreshed.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we look forward to helping you treat your TMJ condition. When you have better control over your ability to open and close your mouth, you can enjoy eating, speaking, and laughing once again. Because this problem is associated with the constant grinding of your bite, we can also create restorative treatments to repair your smile and build back its height.

What habits help you present the best smile possible? Brushing and flossing certainly form the bedrock of clean and healthy teeth by removing plaque deposits that can form on their surface. When you double up your smile protection with regular cleanings and examinations, you give yourself the full preventive smile care package. Because certain oral threats require a professional eye to detect and remove, skipping your dental visits can lead to unfortunate decay and infection outcomes. If it has been longer than a year since your last checkup, we highly encourage you to schedule a visit right away! In addition to treating any active concerns we discover at your cleaning, regular visitation allows us to create a dental record that tracks sudden changes as the years go by. This can lead to more prompt detection and preservation of your healthy tissues!

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we prefer taking a proactive attitude toward your oral health. This means not waiting until painful symptoms appear to call the dentist’s office, but instead visiting regularly to inspect your health before things become worse. This could mean discovering a cavity when it is small enough for a filling instead of waiting until it turns into a painful infection.

A Permanent Treatment For Missing Teeth

If you are dealing with losing one of your teeth, you know how disruptive it can be to your daily life. Certain activities you once took for granted can become rather difficult. You find yourself avoiding favorite foods that risk damaging the socket left behind. If your voice sounds different, it is because we use our teeth to help us articulate our speech. Because your jaw must shift to complete your bite, you can find straining on the joint leaving constant aches and pain. Left untreated, this can even lead to a disorder called TMD. As time goes by, neighboring teeth begin to drift into the open area, causing problems with your dental alignment. Malocclusion can lead to an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease, so think of these possibilities when considering a prosthetic replacement.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we place dental implants to help you take on your problems with dental loss. We understand that the right approach to smile restoration can give you back your confidence after losing a tooth. This prosthetic treatment offers permanent support by binding inside your jawbone to hold a false tooth above the gum line. Because your post connects to the bone, it can restore stimulation that helps you maintain jaw density and preserve your youthful appearance.

Immediate Relief For Your Chronic Toothache

If you experience a toothache that lasts longer than a single day, do not put off telling your dentist. Constant dental pain is the primary symptom of a dangerous infection, that left alone could travel through your bloodstream to other parts of the body. By scheduling an emergency dental appointment, we can see you right away to X-ray your tooth, and determine if treatment is necessary. A root canal procedure can clean out all foreign material and seal the inner tooth chamber to protect your tooth from reinfection. This preserves the majority of your healthy tooth, while immediately dealing with the pain from your inflammatory response. This makes root canal therapy a highly valuable alternative to extracting your problem tooth.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies happen when you least expect them. This is why we schedule visits outside of your normal cleaning schedule to provide prompt relief when you need it most. By treating your infection, we prevent further damage from accumulating and can begin planning restorative treatments to repair the damage.

Is It Time For A Dental Checkup?

What steps do you take to protect your smile? The oral hygiene habits you perform each day form the basis for your care, but regular checkups are necessary to catch threats you cannot see on your own. If it has been a while since your last checkup, there is always time to schedule a cleaning and exam to get back on track. We can help remove bacterial deposits that you cannot handle on your own and alert you when cavities or other harms appear. By taking regular X-rays of your oral structures, we create a dental record that highlights whenever any changes appear. This means that taking an hour out of your day every six months can greatly prevent the need for more intensive restorative procedures further down the line.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we are your partner when it comes to healthy smiles. This means combining at-home preventive efforts with regular checkups to observe and report any concerns that require additional support. If we detect a cavity, we can place a filling in the same visit. If we find something more substantial, we work with you to plan a follow-up restorative procedure.

Restoring Your Missing Tooth With An Implant

Posted by

If you have recently lost one of your teeth, it can become quite a disappointment. Dental loss immediately impacts your life in a variety of ways. While the effect on your smile’s appearance may be obvious, you immediately lose important functional aspects as well. Activities you once found simple like eating become more difficult as you avoid sharp or hard foods that hurt the open socket in your mouth. Because we rely on our teeth to help form words, you notice your speech begins to sound somewhat strange. To compensate for your awkward bite, you begin shifting your jaw in positions that put a strain on its joint. Over time this can lead to a painful condition called TMJ disorder. Without replacement, your alignment becomes even worse as neighboring teeth drift into the open area. But with the aid of a prosthetic implant tooth, you can restore your bite’s function and appearance at the same time!

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we know what a difference the right approach to replacing a missing tooth can make. When you visit our office, we can examine the extent of your dental loss, and provide a solution that restores your smile and preserves your bite’s function. With a dental implant, you can maintain important jawbone density by reintroducing the force of your bite through a titanium metal rod. This benefit is a unique aspect of implant dentistry that you cannot achieve with a traditional bridge or denture. To learn more, schedule an appointment with our team today!
