What Root Canals Do To Save Vulnerable Teeth

Any time you have a potentially serious oral health issue, it is important that you make a trip to the dentist’s office a priority. If you have a persistent toothache, an injury that needs to be evaluated, or complications from advanced dental decay, restorative dental work from Sunny Smiles can certainly help. Your needs for care may include root canal therapy. This procedure deals with trouble within the tooth structure. Living nerves and tissues can become unhealthy when bacteria make their way into your pulp and create problems. Responding to this trouble can effectively restore your tooth’s health and put a stop to discomfort, and it can prevent further complications that could lead to tooth loss! (more…)

Restorative Dentistry For A Tooth Injury

Restorative dentistry is needed when cavities form. In some cases, it can also be necessary when tooth injuries take place. While relatively minor damage can be addressed with more conservative cosmetic work, it may be necessary for you to have a dental crown put in place on a chipped or cracked tooth. By providing this support, you have less to worry about when it comes to an infection or further harm, and you can enjoy improved bite support. At Sunny Smiles, we can use either a porcelain or zirconia crown to give you important protection while also taking care to preserve your smile. When appropriate, we can also let patients know when a cosmetic treatment that minimizes changes to their tooth structure can be approved. (more…)

Wisdom Teeth Removal To Protect Your Smile

Typically, our goals during dental work include the preservation of your complete smile. Even when you have to have a tooth extracted, we can recommend treatment with a prosthetic to serve as a replacement.

The arrival of these teeth can actually hurt your appearance as well as your oral health; the longer it takes you to do something about their eruption, the more likely they are to affect both. At Sunny Smiles, we can take care of you by carefully extracting these teeth to stop them from crowding and damaging teeth, and to prevent problems with their partial or obstructed eruption. (more…)
