If you think that a meaningful smile makeover is out of reach, you may have little interest in asking questions about what the right cosmetic procedure can do for you. By not looking into the advantages of treatment, you can fail to recognize that exciting changes could be within your grasp! Sunny Smiles offers several cosmetic procedures that can help patients feel more attractive and confident. Even if you have several improvements that you want to make, you can find that just one procedure is all that you need to enjoy the results you want. Your options for care include treatment with porcelain veneers, which can cover many different issues after a procedure that only requires two appointments. (more…)
When Should Your Next Dental Checkup Occur?
Are regular dental exams part of your routine or protecting your teeth? If not, you can lose out on important protection against problems like dental decay and gum disease. Unless your dentist identifies a reason for you to do different, you should plan on scheduling dental checkups every six months. Sunny Smiles provides important preventive care for kids and adults, so we can help everyone in your household take care of their smiles. Your visits include protective cleanings to remove tartar and plaque, as well as thorough reviews to identify any signs of trouble that might call for attention. (more…)
Can A Dental Crown Restore Your Broken Tooth?
If you break a tooth, it is important t see a dentist as soon as possible about the matter. If you wait to have the problem addressed, complications can make treatment more difficult, and may even leave you vulnerable to complications that make an extraction necessary. Through the appropriate treatment, Sunny Smiles can make sure that your broken tooth’s health is restored, and that you have long-term protection from a dental crown. Crowns do more than just protect teeth affected by decay. Their coverage can keep a physically injured tooth safe, and they can help you preserve your natural bite function. Through treatment with a lifelike restoration, we can make sure that you still feel confident in your smile after your procedure concludes. (more…)
How Dentists Help Kids Stay Cavity-Free
As a parent, you have an active role to play in helping your child stay safe against cavities. Until they are old enough to brush and floss on your own, you will have to help them by carefully cleaning their teeth and gums. While this is certainly an important responsibility, remember that you do not have to be the only one helping them avoid oral health trouble! Sunny Smiles meets with patients of all ages. For kids, we can provide pediatric dental exams that focus on preventive care as well as instruction on good oral hygiene practices. Between support we provide in the office and the work we do to help kids learn to care for their teeth, our practice can do meaningful work to help our youngest patients avoid dental decay! (more…)
Can Tooth Pain Be A Dental Emergency?
Tooth pain can quickly take over your day by disrupting your ability to focus on much beyond your own discomfort. It can certainly interfere with your ability to eat and drink, and it can make you all too aware of your need to see your dentist as soon as possible. However, you may have one question – can you schedule emergency dental work because of dental pain? Sunny Smiles wants patients to know that they have access to urgent care whenever they might need it. We can bring you in to discuss problems with pain as well as issues with damaged, loosened, or lost teeth. Our approach to restorative care can provide important relief while still taking care to preserve your tooth’s appearance. (more…)
Veneers Can Give You A Brighter Smile
Is your smile starting to look dull in pictures and when you check your reflection? You may assume that the problem is connected to teeth stains you have picked up over time. Problems with discoloration are often stain-related, but there are times that internal issues affect you. To address this, you may need something other than a teeth whitening treatment. Sunny Smiles can help you deal with intrinsic discoloration by providing porcelain veneers, a set of slim, custom-made restorations that take care of many different issues at one time. They can help you show off a brighter smile while they also hide problems with dental damage, or issues with misshapen or poorly sized teeth. (more…)
Keeping A Tooth Healthy With A Filling
When you have a cavity, you will need to see your dentist to make sure your tooth’s health is properly restored. After removing the damaged portion of your tooth, your dentist will provide protection in the form of a filling or crown. A dental filling is the more conservative option of the two, as it only covers the area where a cavity formed. At Sunny Smiles, patients receive fillings that both imitate your enamel and bond to it. At the end of your procedure, you will not have to worry about your smile, or about your ability to bite and chew, as your restoration can provide lasting support. (more…)
3 Reasons To Visit Your General Dentist
Is it time for you to see your dentist for a general oral health exam and teeth cleaning? Postponing or skipping appointments can leave you more vulnerable to problems with your smile, even if you feel that you are doing a good job between appointments keeping your smile in good condition. Without regular reviews and cleanings, you can experience problems with tartar buildup, let cavities go untreated, and miss out on early warnings for other possible problems. Patients at Sunny Smiles can look forward to valuable support and feedback at every appointment. We provide services to patients of all ages, which means everyone in your family can come in to see us for treatment! (more…)
