Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry
Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry
For patients that may have badly broken or worn teeth or healthy teeth, but just not happy with the way they look we are committed to ensuring you can eat comfortably and smile confidently. Call Parkway Dental of Clinton to set up an appointment (601) 924-847. We'll likely start with a full exam and necessary digital x-rays to tell us more about the health of your teeth, and develop a game plan to restore your not only your teeth but your self-confidence as well.
DENTAL BONDING
Dental bonding can have both cosmetic and functional benefits. If you have minor structural damage, such as small chips or cracked teeth, Dr. Chow can conceal these flaws with tooth-colored composite resin. Dental bonding is comparable to veneers, but it does not require any tooth preparation. Dr. Chow can also use dental bonding to treat small to moderately sized cavities.
CROWNS
Crowns or "caps" can repair severely damaged teeth and, in some cases, conceal cosmetic blemishes. A crown will fit completely over your tooth,
and will be custom-designed to match your smile. Dr. Chow offers same-day crowns
made with advanced E4D technology. The process involves use
of a digital scanner to take images of your teeth. Then our in-office fabrication system creates a porcelain crown, in about one hour. Some patient's needs have to be addressed with a more traditional porcelain fused to metal crown and we will take into account your bite strength, amount of healthy natural tooth you have and even your habits to determine the best choice for you.
ROOT CANALS
A root canal is then performed to clean out the infected tooth pulp, and disinfect the canals of the tooth. The only other treatment would be to extract the tooth. Once the infection is resolved, the canal(s) are filled in to prevent any further infection. Usually a core build-up and crown is recommended for restoring a tooth that has had root canal therapy.
VENEERS
If you want to correct surface aesthetic flaws or reshape your teeth, porcelain veneers
can be a simple, effective choice. When placing a veneer, Dr. Chow will carefully remove a small layer of your tooth enamel. This process makes room for the veneer, and does not weaken your tooth. Our lab will then use impressions to create natural-looking veneers from durable, sparkling porcelain.
Porcelain veneers can quickly conceal a variety of cosmetic issues in a single, comprehensive treatment, and may be
a good option if you have: Misshapen teeth Chipped or cracked teeth Irregularly shaped teeth Small teeth Gaps Minor misalignment Discoloration If your teeth are severely compromised, you will probably require a restorative procedure such as dental crowns. During a consultation, Dr. Chow will carefully assess the state of your smile to determine which treatments are the best fit for your needs.
Porcelain veneers can beautifully conceal a variety of cosmetic issues with durable, lifelike results. LONG-LASTING RESULTS The porcelain used to create veneers is highly durable and stain resistant. With proper care and maintenance, veneers can maintain their brilliance for years to come. Patients who practice good oral hygiene and regular dental examinations can expect their porcelain veneers to last for about 10 years.

TEETH WHITENING
In-office teeth whitening is an effective way to brighten your smile. An in-office treatment typically takes one hour. During a teeth whitening session, our hygienist will coat your teeth in whitening gel, activating the material with a uniquely designed light. Take-home Zoom!® whitening treatment is another option, and involves custom-made trays and professional grade whitening gel. This system can yield comparable results to in-office treatment, though it will usually take about two-three weeks to complete. Contact Parkway Dental of Clinton for more information (601) 924-8478.
SMILE MAKEOVER
A smile makeover consists of multiple cosmetic treatments in a multi-stage process. Dr. Chow will create a one-of-a-kind treatment plan to address your unique aesthetic goals. He will also consider your health needs, jaw alignment, and the force of your bite. Dr. Chow encourages you to participate in the planning process so that you can achieve your dream smile.
GUM CONTOURING
Gum contouring is a conservative cosmetic treatment that can enhance your overall look. If excess gum tissue negatively affects the look of your smile, or if your gum line is uneven, Dr. Chow can remove a small layer of tissue. This treatment can give you a smile that matches your facial proportions, and one that you are excited to show off.
