Honolulu Teeth Whitening, Dental Implants, Veneers

We pride ourselves in being an office that provides dental services to handle all of your dental needs.  Comfort and safety are a priority for us. We make sure that everything we use is either used once or then disposed, or heat sterilized before each use.  In fact you can say we’re a little paranoid about being so safety conscious concerning how we clean and disinfect our office. We offer sedation dentistry for fearful people, including Nitrous oxide gas (also known as laughing gas). We offer lots of ways to help you feel more comfortable in our office – such as earphones and MP3 players with a choice of music; special eyewear to protect your eyes; soft, cuddly blankets when it gets too cold; and even lip balm for your dry lips.

We offer sedation dentistry for fearful people.  We also offer nitrous oxide gas (also known as laughing gas).  You just need to ask us about any of these options and we’ll be happy to discuss this and find out if this option is suitable for you.

Implants
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth.

Toothaches
Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue.
