Mauna Kea Dental SERVICES

---

Whether you've entrusted us with tooth whitening or full mouth rehabilitation,  we are equipped to meet you with comfortable , patient centered care. Our goal is to prevent problems from arising, and to treat active areas of concern with long lasting results.

Dental crowns are used when teeth have been significantly damaged by decay, large fillings, root treatment, or fractures. The crown (which functions and looks like a natural tooth) protects the tooth so that any force applied to the top of the tooth cannot split or damage the tooth further. 

 - Utilizing in-house laser imaging technology and robotic milling (the same as modern dental laboratories), we offer same day crowns to prevent the need for a temporary.  In less than two hours, we can have you ready to smile and eat with a permanently cemented new crown.

The gold standard for tooth replacement, implants have an impressive 98% success rate. They can be used to replace a single tooth, or a full arch of missing teeth.

At our office, we utilize patient specific 3D scans to create custom surgical guides, so that implants are placed safely and predictably.  This method allows for minimal placement time (generally less then 15 minutes), accurate placement (planned on digital software prior to surgery), and minimal to no post op pain. 

We are proud to offer KoR whitening, that includes in office bleaching. Please ask us about what programs we offer to achieve a predictably whiter smile. 

Composite fillings are custom crafted from a resin-based material that is a tooth-colored and mimics your natural tooth in appearance, feel and function. They can repair an area of decay, but composite resin can also be used to improve minor cosmetic tooth flaws, such as chips, small gaps and discoloration.

We work especially hard to prevent invasive dental procedures, but if non- restorable failures occur, we are prepared to  perform extractions teeth comfortably, and predictably. 

We believe that education and prevention are the keys to maintaining good oral health. That's why we take the time to educate our patients on proper oral hygiene and provide preventive care to help you avoid dental problems before they start.
