Your dentist will schedule root canal treatment for you when you have an infected tooth. An advanced cavity can cause an infection by exposing your tooth’s pulp to bacteria, and they can occur after physical trauma. This is a serious problem, one that can cause pain and threaten you with tooth loss. Will your general dentist’s office be able to provide endodontic treatment, or treatment that concerns a tooth’s inner structure? Sunny Smiles can arrange your root canal treatment, so you can trust your regular dentist’s office with this task! After removing infected tissues and bacteria, we can seal your tooth to keep it safe before we restore it with a custom dental crown. (more…)
3 Situations That Can Call For Restorative Dentistry
When you consistently protect your smile by brushing and flossing, managing your diet, and scheduling regular dental exams, you limit your risk for problems that require restorative dentistry. With that said, people can experience trouble with their smile even when they feel good about the routine that they follow. Sunny Smiles provides services that restore teeth that are negatively affected by issues like decay as well as physical trauma. For those who have lost teeth, we can also use dental bridges to provide cosmetic and functional support. When we take care of your smile, we will use restorations that imitate healthy enamel, so you can come away from treatment with your oral health and smile improved! (more…)
Will Veneers Be Effective At Addressing Your Smile Flaws?
Your smile can have a significant effect on how you feel about your overall appearance. Someone who lacks confidence in their smile can feel less social overall, and they can develop an aversion to having their picture taken. If you have issues with your smile, learning about cosmetic dentistry can be an important first step to addressing them. The placement of porcelain veneers can help you move on from your esthetic concerns. Custom veneers can help people who are bothered by discoloration, problems with dental damage, and other common concerns. These restorations are capable of addressing several issues at one time, which means they can remove all of your current concerns about the way you look!

Emergency Dentistry Is Available If You Lose A Tooth
Patients at Sunny Smiles can count on us for help when they suffer a possible dental emergency.

We Are Ready To Safely Extract Your Wisdom Teeth
You should not put off treatment to safely extract your wisdom teeth after they become a problem. People often lack the space for them, which leads to problems with their arrival. A lack of space can cause them to shift or press painfully against neighboring teeth. If this happens, you can experience crowding, you can suffer damage to other teeth, and you can feel a worrying degree of pain and sensitivity. Sunny Smiles is ready to help you if you are growing worried about your wisdom teeth. If necessary, we can perform minor oral surgery to safely remove impacted wisdom teeth without negatively affecting neighboring teeth in the process. (more…)
Teeth Whitening Can Resolve Concerns About Discoloration
Dental discoloration is a common concern, one that can affect you more over time as teeth stains gather and become harder to ignore. When you have stains that have accumulated over a longer period of time, it can be difficult to effectively improve your smile with store bought whitening products. Fortunately, a professional whitening procedure can effectively fight discoloration that has become an issue for you! Sunny Smiles provides teeth whitening treatment in addition to many other cosmetic dental procedures. To help you show off a brighter smile, we can send you home with a customized whitening kit that includes bleaching agents strong enough to remove stubborn stains. (more…)
We Provide Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings For Patients
Restorative dental work is necessary when cavities form. The unfortunate reality is that there is not something you can do on your own to stop decay from worsening once a cavity has developed. To prevent further harm, your dentist will directly deal with the infection, remove harmful bacteria and damaged tissues, and ensure that the tooth has protection. Many patients will receive dental fillings for their cavity problems. Dental fillings are able to conservatively address cavity damage by “filling” in the space where decay has formed. At Sunny Smiles, we use fillings that imitate the color of surrounding enamel. Because of this, we can restore your tooth without changing the way that you look when you smile! (more…)
Are You Leaving Too Much Time Between Dental Cleanings?
Brushing and flossing thoroughly will help you fight plaque buildup and prevent the accumulation of tartar on your teeth. Unfortunately, your daily routine will not remove tartar deposits that have already built up. With regular dental cleanings, you remain protected against this problem. Unless your dentist has identified an issue that calls for a different schedule, you should be consistent about scheduling cleanings every six months. Going too long without professional cleaning services will lead to more tartar buildup, which can cause cosmetic problems and lead to more trouble with tooth decay and gum disease! Regular visits provide more than just cleanings. At these appointments, you also receive thorough reviews of your teeth and gums that can lead to early detection and treatment of oral health issues.

3 Reasons To Make Sure You Discuss Tooth Pain With Your Dentist
By ignoring active tooth pain, you could be ignoring trouble with your oral health that will worsen in time. That discomfort you ignore could be a sign that your tooth is infected. If you try to adopt a modified bite that lessens pressure on a sensitive tooth, you can put more stress on your jaw and begin to experience issues with TMJ disorder. You should feel comfortable bringing up discomfort during routine dental exams, but if the matter is serious, schedule an appointment before your next review. For severe pain, you can even arrange an emergency dental visit. Sunny Smiles is prepared to address problems that call for restorative dental work. We can even use lifelike restorations to provide treatment that will not change your smile! (more…)
Trusting Cosmetic Dentistry To Restore Your Chipped Tooth
Do you go out of your way to make sure no one can see your chipped tooth when you smile or speak? Are you worried that a recent dental injury has permanently altered your smile? Do you feel frustrated about “minor” damage that seems to draw more than its fair share of attention? Any injury that chips, cracks, or otherwise harms a tooth should be taken seriously. A problem can be more serious than you initially expect, which means your tooth’s health and appearance can worsen without the appropriate care. With that said, it is often possible to quickly and discreetly fix chips and other forms of harm with conservative cosmetic dental work. Sunny Smiles can meet with you and provide treatment options based on the condition of your tooth. If you qualify for tooth bonding and contouring work, we can have your smile and tooth restored in as little as one appointment! (more…)
