The typical weekday for you may be packed, or it may simply lack the flexibility you need to accommodate a dental visit. Unfortunately, oral bacteria do not give our teeth a break when we are not able to find time for routine oral health services. Delaying dental exams means going longer without important protection for your teeth and gums. It can mean missing out on protection against tartar buildup as well as services to take on problems with cavities and gum disease that have already developed. Sunny Smiles is prepared to help you stay on top of your dental needs. One way we do this is by making appointments easier to book, as our dental office does make weekends available for treatment.

Reliable Access To Emergency Dental Care
If you keep up with regular dental exams, you can enjoy timely intervention whenever problems develop. That means you can undergo the appropriate care for something like gingivitis or dental decay before the matter is serious. Sunny Smiles is happy to provide this kind of consistent routine care, but we also offer services to patients on short notice when it is necessary. A dental injury or the onset of pain can make an emergency dental appointment necessary. During your appointment, we can see to it that the issue is closely evaluated and treated so that there are no further complications that impact your appearance or well-being. (more…)

Responding To Your Tooth Pain Concerns
Tooth pain can be hard for you to ignore, particularly when it stops you from being able to comfortably bite and chew food. Any time discomfort points to an oral health problem, you should have it looked at, as ignoring the matter can lead to more trouble in the near future. What you are feeling could be the symptom of an infection or internal injury, something that can lead to real consequences, including the loss of your tooth! Fortunately, Sunny Smiles is prepared to help patients who experience discomfort. When the problem is specific to a tooth, we can evaluate it to see what kind of restorative work might need to occur. We make access easier when the problem feels severe, too, as we can provide emergency dental services when needed. (more…)
General Dentistry And Your Cavity Risks
When you brush and floss your teeth, you fight the accumulation of bacteria and food debris that make your smile vulnerable to cavities. If you want to avoid the kinds of problems that threaten your appearance as well as your health, make sure you do your part to defend your smile at home, but make sure you book general dental exams as well. Patients of all ages in need of routine oral health services can come to Sunny Smiles for support. We provide valuable general dental care to the El Paso, TX community as well as services that address any problems that arise between appointments. (more…)
Is Now The Right Time For TMJ Therapy?
Can you bite and chew without experiencing stiffness or discomfort? How often do you wake up and feel the effects of a night spent grinding your teeth? Is this something you should talk about with your dentist? The problems you experience with limited jaw movement, pain, stiffness, and other problems can point to an issue with TMJ disorder. Untreated poor jaw alignment and movement can impact your quality of life by causing increasing discomfort that you feel in your neck, head, and face. It can also lead to an increase in teeth grinding and clenching that can impact your quality of life negatively. By bringing the matter up with Sunny Smiles, you can learn about the relief offered by TMJ therapy. This is a service that identifies jaw problems and moves forward with treatment so that it no longer impacts you. (more…)
Dentistry That Meets The Needs Of Your Family
There are different ways to approach dental care for people with different needs. Sometimes, that means responding to the needs of someone who has several oral health issues versus helping someone maintain a problem-free smile. It can also means adjusting in-office care to meet the needs of patients who see us for pediatric oral health care versus adults who come to us for support. Sunny Smiles offers all-ages dentistry, which means we can meet with everyone in your family to provide smile care! For your kids, we can provide encouragement and guidance while helping teach the importance of good oral hygiene at home. For you, we can provide continued preventive oral health support as well as timely services for any problems that might impact your well-being. (more…)
Dental Cleanings Protect Patients’ Oral Health
When you schedule a routine dental exam, you can count on your dentist to identify a problem with your smile and provide the appropriate treatment. Another benefit to routine care is that it can actually lower risks for future threats to your teeth and gums. This is because these visits provide thorough professional dental cleanings. Patients who regularly receive these cleanings are protected against the onset of threats like dental decay and gum disease, as tartar and plaque buildup are effectively fought. For people in and around the El Paso, TX community, Sunny Smiles is able to provide consistent protection against new threats as well as timely services for any oral health issues that have arisen.

Troubles Linked To Erupting Wisdom Teeth
The movement of your wisdom teeth can turn into a serious problem for your appearance and oral health. Many people lack the space to accommodate wisdom teeth—also known as third molars—and their eruption can cause problems with crowding, enamel damage, and discomfort. If the eruption is disrupted, those third molars can shift or partially erupt, creating more discomfort as well as a more complicated extraction process. Fortunately, when the problem is recognized, the right actions can occur to prevent potentially serious issues. Sunny Smiles has experience treating patients who need to have their wisdom teeth taken out. In addition to providing this service, we can provide regular reviews during dental exams in order to warn you when it should take place. (more…)
How Veneers Affect Smile Confidence
Your confidence in your overall appearance may be low just because you have problems with your smile. Our teeth can be hard for people to miss; unfortunately, that can mean any problems they have are quickly noticed. Does this mean you are stuck with an appearance that you are less than thrilled with? Through the right cosmetic dental procedure, you can take on the source (or sources) of your concern over your smile. Sunny Smiles offers different cosmetic services, including services that depend on porcelain veneers to make changes. The right restorations can take on many problems at one time while only making minimal changes to your tooth structure. (more…)
