Cosmetic Dentistry on Kauai

Many people have the idea that cosmetic dental treatments are a luxury that is beyond their reach. But today, we have access to updated techniques and materials that make cosmetic treatments possible for anyone who desires a healthy, beautiful smile.

Every treatment performed by our Kalaheo Dental Group is designed to improve your oral health and enhance the beauty of your smile. Many dental treatments improve your appearance, but there’s no clear line between cosmetic and restorative treatments. For example, crowns protect and strengthen teeth and also improve your smile.

Achieving the smile of your dreams may be as simple as professional teeth whitening to remove stains and discoloration. Or it could involve combining treatments like bonding, tooth-colored fillings, and veneers for a complete smile transformation.

Understanding Your Needs

We begin your smile makeover by performing a thorough dental exam to detect any existing problems that might affect your treatment. Next, we’ll ask you a few questions to learn more about what’s important to you:

• What do you (and don’t you) like about your smile?
• Do you feel that chips, gaps, or cracked teeth detract from your appearance?
• Are your teeth as white and bright as you’d like them to be?
• Do your teeth seem too large or too small in proportion to your facial features?

Kauai dentists Dr. Michael Lutwin, Dr. Kelliann Rita, and Dr. Robert Stebbins will consult with you to consider an overall approach for cosmetic enhancement and dental health. Working together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that fits your goals and your budget.  

Whether your cosmetic dental needs are straightforward or more complex, our experienced team will work with you to create a bright, healthy, confident smile. Some of the procedures you may benefit from are:

Teeth Whitening

If you’re noticing that your bright, white smile has faded over the years, professional teeth whitening can help.

We offer professional take-home teeth whitening kits that you use in the privacy of your home. Our kits include a custom whitening tray and professional strength whiteners that provide superior results to store-bought products.

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin translucent shells of porcelain that are securely bonded to individual teeth. They beautify your smile by improving the shape and color of one or more of your teeth.

We use veneers to close gaps between your teeth, perfect the shape of small or misshapen teeth, or conceal severely stained teeth. If your teeth are beginning to show signs of wear, veneers can protect them from damage and restore their original look.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Using the same material we use for bonding can create durable fillings that repair damage and look perfectly natural. In fact, tooth-colored fillings blend so well with your natural teeth that it’s hard to see that you’ve had any work done!

Many more restorative treatments like crowns, bridges, and dental implants can also be considered cosmetic since they improve your appearance. Once we’ve identified any underlying issues and learned more about your goals, we can help you choose the treatment that fits your needs perfectly.
