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…)

Planning TMJ Therapy To Treat Jaw Pain
You can quickly become fed up with TMJ disorder – when it is not addressed, this condition can make biting, chewing, and speaking difficult due to feelings of stiffness and pain. What can you do to resolve this issue and put your discomfort behind you? Sunny Smiles provides help for patients who show signs of this condition.

When You Need Root Canal Therapy
It is important that you take signs of oral health trouble seriously, and that you seek treatment for a potential problem as soon as you can. If you put off an appointment while you struggle with pain or sensitivity, you can give an infection more time to spread. Eventually, your worsening infection can become so serious that your tooth has to be extracted! Sunny Smiles can evaluate your tooth to see if you might require root canal treatment. If you do, we can perform this procedure to stop the spread of decay that threatens your appearance and well-being. We can also provide a custom restoration that will keep your tooth safe over time.

Seeing Your Dentist On A Saturday
By seeing your dentist on a regular basis, you protect yourself against a range of oral health issues. At an appointment, your smile undergoes a close review to determine if tooth decay, gum disease, or any other condition might require treatment. Your visit also includes a teeth cleaning that will remove plaque and tartar buildup that make you vulnerable to problems. Sunny Smiles understands that traditional office hours are less than convenient for some people, which can make consistent care feel less accessible. By opening our dental office on Saturdays, we can help you find the time for important preventive care and keep your smile healthy! (more…)
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

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!
