Creating Beautiful Smiles for Life
A radiant smile can be a source of confidence and a reflection of your inner vitality. At Parkway Dental, we can help you achieve the smile you’ve always envisioned through a range of cosmetic dentistry procedures. Whether you are looking to brighten stained teeth, correct misalignments, or restore the appearance of damaged teeth, our team is here to provide tailored solutions. Let us help you rediscover your confidence and love the smile you see in the mirror.
Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is among the most requested cosmetic dentistry procedures and is concerned with restoring the natural shade of visible teeth in the mouth. Your dentist can offer in-office or take-home whitening kits, which are peroxide based. There are many whitening products currently available on the market, but only your dentist can provide whitening products at clinical strengths. If you have tried whitening processes at home with limited success or too much discomfort, talk to your dental team about the various whitening options available to you. A customized approach to your particular needs may be what is needed to get your smile looking whiter and brighter.
Invisalign®
When it comes to teeth straightening without the appearance of wires, nothing beats Invisalign®. Invisalign® uses a series of virtually invisible clear aligners that gradually straighten teeth.
Eat and drink whatever you want. The removable aligners won’t get in the way, plus they’re easy to clean.
Cosmetic Fillings (or Composite Build-Ups)
Cosmetic fillings, often called dental bonding or composite build-ups, offer a simple and effective way to perfect your smile by repairing imperfections. Using a tooth-coloured composite resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, we can skillfully close gaps, mend chips, and conceal cracks. This procedure allows us to reshape and enhance your teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing restoration that revitalizes your smile’s appearance.
The process for cosmetic fillings is straightforward and often requires no freezing. Similar to a standard filling, the resin is applied to the tooth and then hardened with a special UV light, creating a strong bond. Not only is this treatment affordable, but it is also frequently covered by some dental insurance plans. While durable, should any damage occur over time, these cosmetic restorations are easily repaired, making them a convenient and lasting solution for a beautiful smile.
Dental Crowns
In cases of severe damage such as a crack or decay, dental crowns may be the best option to retain the health and structure of your natural tooth. Your dentist may suggest a dental crown to seal off the tooth, protect it against further damage and improve its appearance. Crowns are generally constructed of a porcelain material but you can also choose from various metals like gold and silver.
Veneers
If you have chipping, gaps, misalignment, or discoloration to a tooth, your dentist may recommend a dental veneer. Dental veneers are made of porcelain and are secured over the outer visible surface of the tooth. Veneers are known to be strong and to resist staining. They can change the shape, size and colour of your tooth leaving you with an aesthetically improved smile.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are used to ‘bridge’ the gap caused by one or more missing teeth. Bridging consists of installing prosthetic teeth (called pontics) in place of natural teeth, and adhering them to adjacent natural teeth, crowns or implants for support. This procedure serves to restore a complete smile, as well as prevent adjacent teeth from migrating out of place and helps with chewing and even distribution of chewing forces across the jaw bone.
