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. However, that approach changes when we are dealing with the arrival of your wisdom teeth. 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…)
