Problems You Can Discuss At A Dental Checkup

There are potentially serious problems that can affect your smile over time if you are not consistent about scheduling preventive dental care. While a cavity can be caught and treated early, decay can become a source of discomfort and a threat to your smile if the problem goes unaddressed. You can also have a more difficult time fighting gum disease if you have not been regular about your exams. Sunny Smiles can certainly help you deal with these issues when you come in for a routine dental checkup. With that said, these are just two of many concerns that you can discuss with us. We can help you keep your smile safe by providing timely care at your regular appointments, and we can make time for you if a problem arises between planned visits. (more…)

Wisdom Teeth And Dental Discomfort

Is it time for you to do something about your wisdom teeth? For your other teeth, an extraction is typically only recommended as a last resort. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are often removed preemptively to avoid problems that these teeth can cause upon erupting. People often lack space for these molars, which makes their late arrival painful. Without timely intervention, they can become impacted due to a lack of space, or they can press painfully against their neighbors and cause difficulties for you. At Sunny Smiles, we can bring you in to remove those unwelcome teeth before they create problems for your overall oral health. To receive an early warning about their eruption that prevents painful problems, stay consistent with regular dental appointments. (more…)

How We Make Teeth Whitening More Convenient

You can gradually lose confidence in the way you look as you gradually pick up more and more enamel stains. Many of the foods and drinks that people enjoy regularly contain chromogens or tannins responsible for their color. As these particles gather on your teeth, they can cause discoloration that makes your smile less attractive! To deal with this problem, you can look into a professional whitening procedure. Why choose professional teeth whitening treatment over the use of a store bought product? At Sunny Smiles, we provide customized whitening kits that are designed to produce more exciting results, which means you can deal with significant stains that have left you without confidence in your appearance!

Stop Trying To Ignore Your Toothache!

Choosing to ignore the pain radiating from your tooth can feel like the more convenient choice.

Make Sure Your Cavity Is Fully Treated

If a cavity forms, there will not be a way for you to stop it on your own. Dental decay is a problem that should be brought to your dentist’s attention. If it is not dealt with, you can experience issues with your oral health that gradually become more serious. Eventually, you can start to feel the unpleasant effects of an infection, which can lead to discomfort as well as further health troubles! At Sunny Smiles, we can evaluate you, make plans to restore your tooth, and perform treatment so that the cavity is no longer a problem. If you are someone who has experienced many cavity trouble in the past, we can work with you on changing your oral hygiene efforts during preventive appointments. (more…)

Regular Teeth Cleanings Protect Your Enamel

Your dental enamel is strong enough to withstand bite forces for many years. Because of this, we can enjoy a wide-ranging and nutrient-rich diet, as we can break down tougher foods without difficulty. With that said, our teeth are vulnerable to harm, particularly when we do not keep up with good oral hygiene efforts. Your daily efforts to brush and floss remove harmful microbes from your smile to prevent the onset of dental decay. In addition to this support, you can receive important care in the form of professional cleanings provided at regular dental exams. Sunny Smiles can meet with you regularly to protect your smile, and help you avoid the consequences of poor oral hygiene! (more…)

Should I Plan A Smile Makeover?

If you look in the mirror and see a smile that lacks confidence, you can find that cosmetic treatment can help you move past your concerns. At Sunny Smiles, people in and around El Paso, TX who are interested in cosmetic dental work can discuss the benefits of different services. With the right procedure, you can take on concerns about the color of your teeth, hide visible damage, and correct problems with tooth shape and size that hurt the way you look. While you can devise a treatment plan that involves more than one procedure, you may be surprised at just how effective one procedure can be at taking on a variety of concerns! (more…)

A Crown’s Effect On Your Dental Function

Your appearance is important, but it is not all you should worry about when it comes to caring for your smile. If you have a problem with your tooth, it can interfere with your ability to bite and chew, leading to diet restrictions and a higher risk for TMJ problems! With a custom dental crown provided at Sunny Smiles, you can count on a tooth to remain protected and also feel confident in the way you look. Dental crowns are part of cavity treatment, as they are relied on to support patients who need more protection than a filling can provide. By covering teeth above the gum line, crowns also provide an important defense to address physical damage and more! (more…)

When Your Child Needs Dental Work

Even after they reach an age where they can brush and floss for themselves, kids depend on their parents for oral health support. Because of this, you can feel a sense of guilt as well as alarm if you learn that your child needs treatment for a dental problem. You can be relieved to know that Sunny Smiles is prepared to help our youngest patients deal with dental trouble. We can provide a conservative treatment that puts a stop to any discomfort they feel and keeps their tooth safe. Timely care does more than just stop a cavity’s growth. By acting to treat trouble with a developing smile, we can prevent complications that affect their growth and lead to issues that have to be addressed later. (more…)

How Does A Filling Imitate Healthy Enamel?

Is there something that your dentist can do to restore your tooth without changing the way you look? Cavity treatment is important, because without the appropriate care your issue with decay will continue to worsen. Eventually, the problem can become so serious that advanced care has to take place to fully treat you. However, if you schedule restorative treatment in time, your dentist can make sure your tooth is protected after placing a filling that imitates your surrounding enamel. Sunny Smiles can provide a filling that preserves your appearance and restores your oral health. Our practice can also provide routine appointments where we check for early warning signs of trouble and provide support to help you avoid future problems. (more…)
