Can you do something about teeth stains in the comfort of your own home? You can find different products at your local grocery store or pharmacy that offer to help brighten your smile, but they can ultimately have limited impact on the way you look.

At Sunny Smiles, we can actually recommend an approach to teeth whitening treatment that delivers professional results while allowing you to take care of your teeth at home.

When A Toothache Feels Like An Emergency
A toothache can be difficult to ignore, especially when you try to eat or drink, but should you think of pain as a reason to schedule emergency treatment? Problems with significant and persistent pain should not be ignored. By delaying care, you can let a problem worsen, and that can raise your risk for losing the tooth in question! Patients at Sunny Smiles do have access to urgent dental work. If you are concerned about an injury, or about serious pain that is not going away, you can reach out to secure a visit as soon as possible. Once you arrive, we can perform an evaluation to determine the cause of your discomfort, after which we can move forward with the appropriate restorative care. (more…)
How A Resin Filling Matches Your Enamel
Treatment for a cavity includes the placement of a permanent restoration, something that you will need due to the effect decay has on your enamel. The tissue damage you experience is permanent, which is why prompt treatment to minimize harm is so important. The good news is that with a custom, lifelike filling, Sunny Smiles can actually restore your tooth and preserve the way you look! We use a composite resin material that actually bonds with the enamel it is applied to, leading to remarkable stability as well as more functional support. When a filling is not capable of providing enough support for your tooth, we can discuss treatment with a dental crown, which can also be developed in order to preserve the way you look. (more…)
Treating Tooth Injuries With Dental Crowns

Our practice provides durable, attractive dental crowns that offer lasting benefits. Once you receive your restoration, you can go on to enjoy functional and cosmetic benefits for many years!

Providing Retreatment After A Root Canal
Root canal therapy deals with problems within your tooth structure. When a cavity is serious enough to cause an infection, or when an injury does damage to your pulp, this is an important procedure, one that puts a stop to discomfort and makes saving your tooth possible. You should look forward to being free of pain after your treatment, but if discomfort or other signs of infection persist – or if they return after a time, you should be concerned. Should this happen to you, it is important to note that Sunny Smiles is here to provide retreatment. What this means is that we can work on a tooth that has already undergone root canal therapy so that we can address a new problem, or one that was not fully resolved. (more…)
Scheduled Cleanings Encourage Better Hygiene
Are you doing enough to keep your smile clean on a daily basis? We need to maintain steady brushing and flossing routines to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and food debris, which can lead to the formation of plaque and tartar. If these substances build up and are not removed, they can cause issues with your oral health that require professional care. While your daily efforts are important, you are not the only person you can count on to protect your smile. At every routine dental exam, your teeth are professionally cleaned. This removes plaque buildup as well as any tartar deposits that have hardened in place. Sunny Smiles can meet with you to provide regular preventive support. When necessary, we can also take care of you if any active oral health problems call for our treatment. (more…)
