Although our teeth are strong enough to maintain their health for many years (with the right care), problems can occur. Unfortunately, many people will need to see their dentist at least once to arrange restorative services. For people in and around the El Paso area, Sunny Smiles can provide treatment for a tooth affected by decay or physical damage, or even one that is naturally misshapen or undersized and in need of support. Through the placement of a durable, lifelike dental crown, we can help you fully recover from an issue that has hurt your smile and oral health. Once in position, that crown can provide sustained protection as well as coverage that matches your enamel to preserve your appearance. (more…)
What Makes Dental Cleanings Important?
When you already put in time and effort to keep your teeth clean, do you really need to make time for professional teeth cleanings? The right approach to preventive care at home can certainly provide protection, but you should not become solely reliant on this kind of care to protect yourself against problems. At your regular dental exams and cleanings, Sunny Smiles can provide services that both lower your risk for problems and ensure issues that affect you are promptly treated. Cleanings play a particularly important role in preventive care because they take care of any tartar buildup present on your smile, something that you are not able to do on your own when you brush and floss.

When Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Removed
Generally speaking, a tooth extraction is something that we try to avoid. Whenever restorative treatment is required, Sunny Smiles will look at how we can proceed with your most conservative treatment option, one that preserves as much of your healthy enamel as possible. However, the approach changes when it comes to wisdom teeth. Because it is often difficult to make space for these teeth, they are removed before they fully erupt. This will help you avoid different issues, including crowding and dental damage, as well as complications from wisdom teeth that become impacted and shift as they move into place. At your regular dental exams, we can let you know when it is time to have your wisdom teeth out, and we can prepare you to successfully undergo this procedure. (more…)

General Dentistry And Your Oral Hygiene
Your oral hygiene efforts matter, but you should depend on brushing and flossing by themselves to fully protect your smile. Unfortunately, once tartar deposits form, they will remain in place until you have your next professional teeth cleaning scheduled. This service will remove the bacteria that are present, even when your own efforts fall short of fully protecting your smile. Remember that these visits provide more than just extra support for your hygiene, as they also provide useful feedback about your overall oral health. Sunny Smiles is prepared to take care of your smile whenever you are due for a general dental visit, as well as when you start to worry something might be wrong with your oral health. (more…)
When A Tooth Needs Treatment After A Root Canal
The right oral health treatment will permanently resolve a problem and leave you with lasting support for your tooth. While it can be less than exciting to learn that a root canal needs to take place to properly restore your oral health, you should be able to count on this care to permanently address an advanced cavity or injury. Unfortunately, there are times when patients continue to have problems, as well as times when new problems begin after a procedure has taken place. Sunny Smiles is ready to help you resolve oral health trouble when a root canal seems to have failed in properly restoring your oral health. By providing root canal therapy for a tooth that has undergone care in the past, we can make sure that a problem is fully resolved, or we can take on a new issue that has developed. (more…)

Patients at Sunny Smiles can count on cavity treatment that protects your tooth structure without changing the way it looks. We provide fillings and crowns that match the color and texture of healthy enamel. Dental fillings made from composite resin can both imitate your tooth structure and bond to it to provide lasting stability and protection. (more…)
Scheduling Weekend Dental Appointments
It is important that you schedule dental visits on a consistent basis. Doing so keeps you informed about your oral health, leads to the early detection and treatment of problems, and it provides preventive services that makes you less likely to develop issues like tooth decay and gum disease. With that said, we understand that not everyone has an easy time fitting in these appointments. Sunny Smiles can make it easier by providing weekend office hours. Because you have the ability to book visits on Saturdays, you can have less difficulty finding time to schedule routine appointments or need to seek treatment for an active problem. (more…)
