- Dental ExaminationRegular dental exams and cleanings usually take under an hour. Dr. Oka will examine your overall and oral health while looking for dental issues like cavities and gum disease. He will also assess the level of risk you have for developing tooth decay, gum disease and whether or not you need more fluoride in your oral routine. X-rays allow for a peek inside of your teeth to get a better look at them. After your examination and any necessary procedures, a dental hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar built up on them.

- Resin CompositeBonding is an affordable way to correct minor dental flaws that detract from your smile. Our dentist can apply an enamel-colored composite resin to the surface of your teeth to fill in chips, mask intrinsic stains, and even change the appearance of a tooth that is poorly shaped or too small. While bonding is not as long-lasting as veneers, it's a great option for patients who prefer not to make permanent changes to their teeth or want to determine if veneers would be a good fit.
- VeneersVeneers are thin shells that cover these imperfections, giving your teeth a whiter, straighter, and healthier appearance.
- CrownsIf you've visited our practice before, you may already be familiar with the minds behind SureSmile aligners. These clear aligners are made by Dentsply Sirona, the same trusted company that made our advanced CBCT X-ray machine and our revolutionary CEREC® same-day crown machine.
- BridgesA dental crown is a versatile dental treatment that restores the function, strength, and appearance of a tooth. Dental crowns are also used to support a dental bridge, replacing one or more consecutive missing teeth. Crowns are placed over the anchoring teeth to secure the artificial tooth or teeth that fill the gap. During your initial consultation at our Kailua-Kona office, Dr. Oka can determine if a single crown or a bridge is the best dental treatment for you.
- Dental BondingOpting for dental bonding over veneers can be a more conservative and cost-effective choice, as it involves minimal enamel removal. However, veneers are preferred for a more durable and lifelike cosmetic solution.
- Restorative DentistryOur cosmetic dentist can refine the appearance of your smile with procedures like teeth whitening and veneers, but he can also improve functional concerns like broken teeth and dental decay. Some common restorative dentistry procedures we perform include...
- Root Canal TreatmentRoot Canal An infected tooth can cause issues such as pain, sensitivity, and further health complications if left untreated. A root canal is a dental procedure that removes the pulp and eliminates the infection to save the tooth structure.

- Tooth ExtractionsIssues such as gum disease and tooth decay must be addressed before implant placement. Periodontal treatment or tooth extraction may be required before you qualify for dental implants.
- Bone GraftingThe All-on-4 technique uses just four metal posts to support a full denture. Two are placed at an angle in the jawbone, maximizing tissue and meaning even patients with bone loss can often skip preparatory bone grafting.
- OrthodonticsOrthodontics can improve your appearance and your health. However, if you've been hesitant about seeking care due to dental anxiety or a sensitive smile, it may help to know that we offer oral conscious sedation—an area in which Dr. Oka has completed advanced training.
