Tooth Colored Fillings
Resin composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations that are used in place of amalgam (silver) fillings on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. Unlike silver fillings made from metals these cosmetic fillings look extremely natural and typically require that far less of the tooth be removed.
Clear Aligner Therapy
Clear aligner therapy is a modern, non-invasive method of straightening teeth using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners. These aligners are designed to gradually move your teeth into better alignment without the need for traditional metal braces.
Clear aligner therapy is often used to treat issues like mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite problems. It's a popular option due to its comfort, convenience, and aesthetic appeal compared to traditional braces.
Quick Denture Repair
We use the most advanced techniques that allow you to actually see what your smile will look like beforehand. Dentures not only replace teeth and make chewing and eating easier but they can restore your smile and your confidence. There are a number of ways to replace teeth and most require several steps to ensure the best look and fit.
Teeth Whitening
Here at Parkway Dental we use a variety of teeth whitening techniques to get your teeth their whitest and brightest. Our in-home custom teeth whitening kits include custom trays and whitening gel. They are easy to use and achieve great results in only 4 to 6 weeks! We also offer Opalescence pre-filled trays that whiten teeth chemically using Hydrogen Peroxide Gel for efficient tooth whitening and ease of use. Our in-office option that we offer is the KOR Whitening System which provides instant whitening results after 1 hour and the only option that is offered with a desensitizer for minimum post treatment discomfort. KOR also comes with custom trays for home use to maintain your results longer .
Root Canal Treatment
Our goal at parkway dental is to try and save your natural teeth and avoid extractions. The reason for this is because removing natural teeth leaves gaps which then cause the other teeth to compensate. It can then affect your bite and cause a host of other affiliated problems.
But what happens when a tooth has become infected right in the center? Usually there is no avoiding an extraction, as the pulp is infected. Essentially, this means that the nerves at the heart of the tooth are slowing dying. Not to mention the fact that you will probably also be experiencing quite a bit of pain.
Under these circumstances, most patients want a quick fix – an extraction. While extraction may remove the offending tooth, it is not the best option in the long term. We prefer to try root canal surgery first. This way, the infection can be cleared and the tooth can be kept in place.
Zirconia Crown
Crowns, or caps, are used to restore broken or cracked teeth. The new zirconia, metal-free crowns eliminate the ugly black line you may have seen next to the gum line on older crowns.
For decades the standard in dentistry for crown and bridge restoration materials has been the PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal). The framework for the dental crown was produced in metal and then covered with a porcelain layer.
Now with the evolution of all ceramic materials and their higher esthetic qualities, dental patients have options. Metal free framework beneath the porcelain gives excellent aesthetic qualities to make the final restoration extremely natural looking.
Dental Implants
If you are missing one or more teeth, and wish to eat your favorite foods, increase your chewing ability, and improve your appearance, speech, and self-esteem, then you are a candidate for dental implants. We use the latest implant technology so you can smile again with confidence.
we thoroughly examine patients' existing teeth and bones, upper and lower jaws and gum tissues before recommending implants. Implants replace the roots of lost teeth and are inserted under the gums. After 3-6 months, the bones grow around and adapt to implants as if they were natural roots. Once the implants are firmly in place and the surrounding gum tissue is strong, they are ready to support a crown or restored tooth. When the process is completed, the "new" teeth are often hard to tell apart from a patient's original teeth.
We also have implant retained dentures so that your dentures don't "float" and feel more secure. Schedule a consult to hear more!
Dentures & Partials
Dentures come with huge benefits for patients and can greatly improve your quality of life. With today's technology, dentures are created to look natural in appearance and give the impression of a beautiful smile. Additionally, dentures provide support for your facial muscles as well as assist with your ability to chew and eat food, and they also assist with your ability to speak clearly.
If your teeth have reached the point where you are considering dentures, we invite you to come in for a complimentary consultation. We will do an assessment of your condition and provide you with a list of options tailored to your individual needs.
A partial denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth. It is supported by your existing teeth and fills in those unwanted gaps. It will help to regain the aesthetics and chewing and speaking functions that you require.
Full mouth denture treatments will involve the extraction of any remaining teeth, making impressions to give that perfect, snug fit, and a final fitting appointment. Partial dentures consist of appointments made to examine the health of remaining teeth, taking impressions, and custom fitting the partial appliance.
Neuromuscular TMD Therapy
Neuromuscular TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) Therapy is a specialized approach to diagnosing and treating dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. Unlike traditional TMD treatments that focus solely on the joints, neuromuscular therapy considers the complex relationship between the teeth, jaw joints, muscles, and nerves. Using advanced technology such as electromyography (EMG), computerized jaw tracking, and muscle stimulation (TENS), we assess how your jaw moves and functions at rest and in motion. This allows us to pinpoint imbalances and guide your jaw into its optimal position—relieving pressure, reducing pain, and restoring natural function. This therapy is ideal for patients suffering from: Jaw pain or stiffness Headaches or migraines Clicking or popping in the jaw Facial, neck, or shoulder pain Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief by addressing the root cause of your discomfort—so you can enjoy everyday activities without pain or tension.
