When Your Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Extracted
Typically, the goal is to care for teeth without resorting to extractions. Wisdom teeth are different, as their presence can create several problems as they begin to erupt. Fortunately, when their movement is recognized in time, they can be safely extracted before there are complications. Sunny Smiles is prepared to help you deal with this problem by removing them carefully and helping ensure that you have a comfortable recovery. Recognizing when these teeth are beginning to move into place is one of many benefits to having dental exams scheduled on a regular basis. (more…)
TMJ Therapy Can Alleviate Daily Jaw Pain
If jaw pain is something that you live with on a daily basis, it can point to trouble with the alignment and movement of the joints. Letting the problem go unaddressed means that you continue to live with this discomfort, and it can also lead to difficulties with teeth grinding, headaches, facial discomfort, and more! Sunny Smiles is prepared to start TMJ therapy to help you correct problems with alignment and movement. Better movement can reduce the tension responsible for daily aches and pains. If your difficulties include teeth grinding, timely care can also protect you against permanent damage to your tooth structure. (more…)
Routine Dental Cleanings And Your Oral Hygiene
Oral health problems can be effectively prevented with good daily behaviors. Brushing, flossing, and keeping up with a smart and low-sugar diet will reduce your risks for problems. With that said, you should depend on more than just these behaviors—you should also stick with consistent preventive dental appointments! Part of the care you enjoy during general appointments at Sunny Smiles comes in the form of professional teeth cleanings. Your hygienist can take care of tartar deposits as well as plaque buildup, which will make you less likely to have future problems. Because these visits also provide feedback on your current health, they can lead to the timely treatment of active troubles. (more…)
Should I Pursue Teeth Whitening Treatment?
If you want to do something about the color of your smile, you may hope to see the results you want from a store bought treatment. While doing so can help, you may only see limited benefits from this approach. One reason for this is that you may have deeper and tougher stains to contend with, something that store bought products can be ineffective at addressing. Another is that you may need to do something about discoloration within the tooth structure rather than external stains. Sunny Smiles can help you find the right treatment approach to change your confidence in how you look. With the different cosmetic dental treatments that we offer, we can help you see lasting improvements and start showing off a smile that is significantly brighter! (more…)
Why Root Canal Treatment Plans Are Made
After confirming that you have a cavity and assessing how much harm it has caused, your dentist can let you know if a root canal treatment will be needed. This is a service that takes on problems that develop within the tooth structure—simply put, the more time a cavity has to grow, the more likely it is to reach this stage and cause an infection. Fortunately, through treatment, your health can be restored and your full smile can be preserved! Sunny Smiles is ready to provide root canal treatments when they are required. With that said, remember that consistent smile care through your general exams and cleanings can both lead to earlier detection and treatment of decay as well as protection that lowers your risk for new cavities.

Placing A Dental Crown That Looks Like Your Tooth
It can be worrying to learn that you need restorative dental work.

You can be relieved to find that Sunny Smiles offers restorations that can effectively mimic healthy enamel. One way we can offer lifelike treatment is by placing a dental crown made from a substance that can match the appearance of your healthy tooth. By placing this kind of restoration, we can ensure that you have the functional support that you need while also preserving your appearance. (more…)
Questions To Ask About General Dentistry
Do you have your next general oral health appointment set? Are you staying current with these visits? One reason why people sometimes let their appointments slip from their overall smile care routine is because they do recognize their importance in maintaining their oral health. Without these regular checkups, you miss out on important reviews as well as dental cleanings that do more for your smile than you can by brushing and flossing. Sunny Smiles is here to help El Paso families keep up with the health of their smiles. In addition to providing routine dental services, we can field questions and concerns about your well-being, and we can offer information on the benefits of cosmetic services! (more…)

With the right procedure, you can take care of a flaw, or several flaws, that have cost you confidence in your smile.
