Cavity Treatment With Lifelike Tooth Fillings

Your goal should be to stay completely free of cavities at all times. Remember that even a small cavity is a problem, as its formation does permanent harm to your enamel. Responding to this issue calls for treatment that includes the placement of a permanent restoration, which will have to stay in place to protect the tooth’s structure and keep it safe from an infection. The good news is that in addition to helping patients stay safe against the onset of dental decay, Sunny Smiles provides restorative dental work that can preserve your appearance as well as your oral health. When you need a dental filling because of a cavity identified at a checkup, we can provide one that matches your tooth structure and provides dependable protection for it. (more…)

Dental Checkups And Gingivitis Prevention

When you brush and floss your teeth, you can effectively protect yourself against several issues. You will remove bacteria as well as any food particles left from the day’s meals and snacks, lowering your risk for plaque and tartar buildup. This helps you avoid cavities, but it also helps you to stay protected against gingivitis. The first stage of gum disease, gingivitis is an infection that can cause several symptoms. If you have it, your gums can bleed more frequently when you perform your oral hygiene routine. You may also notice changes in your gum line, or issues with tissues that look swollen or discolored. It is important that this problem be properly addressed to prevent complications. Sunny Smiles can help with this during a routine dental visit, as we look out for periodontal as well as dental problems when we examine you. (more…)

Why We Provide Different Cavity Treatments

At Sunny Smiles, patients who need cavity treatment can count on support that fully restores their oral health and preserves their appearance. To provide these results, we need to provide different approaches to restorative dental work. Simply put, cavities continue to grow and do more damage to your tooth until you arrange the appropriate care. That can change how decay needs to be addressed. Depending on the state of your smile at the time of your treatment, we may be able to provide care with a dental filling, but it is possible that we will need to provide more involved care to address significant structural damage and an infection.

Is Your Next Dental Cleaning Scheduled?

If your next dental cleaning and exam is not scheduled, you should make sure to arrange it as soon as possible, especially if you have gone more than six months since your last appointment. The care we provide during a routine appointment will help you avoid potentially serious problems, as they provide protection as well as early warnings when there are issues that need to be treated. Sunny Smiles can help you stay safe against cavities and gum disease. Cleanings help with this because they remove tartar buildup, something you cannot fight on your own. They also help because they can highlight areas where your brushing and flossing routine provide less support. (more…)

We can also provide lasting protection with dental fillings and dental crowns that can imitate healthy enamel. (more…)
