Many of us can neglect ourselves when we’re busy taking care of others.

Concerned with keeping her teeth and making her smile more attractive for an upcoming family event, this patient came to Kalaheo Dental Group. Though a combination of cosmetic porcelain crowns and veneers, Dr. Lutwin was able to quickly, and without discomfort, transform her teeth into the strong and beautiful smile which she is now proud ...
Teeth often get darker and worn down or shorter through day to day activities. This patient was concerned about her smile and wanted a brighter, more youthful appearance.

With cosmetic porcelain crowns and veneers, Dr. Lutwin was able to whiten and lengthen her teeth, giving her the vibrant smile she had wished for.
Some of this wonderful patients adult teeth never developed and as a result, for years she still had an anterior baby tooth on one side and a space on the other side. The time had finally come for her to do something for herself and she asked Dr. Lutwin to help improve her smile. Though she may consider implants one day, after discussing many options, Dr. Lutwin helped her gain confidence in her smile in an affordable way by using cosmetic porcelain crowns and bridges to replace her missing teeth and make her smile one that she is now ...
Concerned about his appearance and that some of his teeth “needed help”, this artist chose to have Dr. Lutwin whiten and make his smile more ideal for him, using cosmetic porcelain crowns and veneers. This patient was so happy, he gave us a wonderful landscape painting of his to hang in the office!
This wonderful neighbor of Kalaheo Dental Group felt that her smile had changed over the years, and she wanted some sparkle back! She’d grown concerned that her teeth had darkened and that spaces were becoming more apparent. Using cosmetic porcelain veneers, Dr. Lutwin was able to create an ideal smile for her. Tears were flowing…happy ones….after she got the smile she had been dreaming about for some time. It is always rewarding treating friends and neighbors of our Kalaheo Dental Group team.
This great patient of ours already had a wonderful smile, but it always bothered him that his front teeth showed dark spaces. Using strong, thin “no-prep” cosmetic porcelain veneers, Dr. Lutwin was able to solve this problem for him and do so without any shots or drilling. “No-prep” porcelain veneers are a great, conservative way to address certain cosmetic concerns, and worked well to take this patient's smile from good to awesome!
This athlete had cracked and chipped his teeth from lots of hard play! He felt it was time to do something about that and also fix the large space between his teeth which always bothered him. After discussing his options and deciding against braces, the patient decided to ask Dr. Lutwin to make a strong and attractive smile using cosmetic porcelain crowns and veneers. Dr. Lutwin was able to do so using very conservative techniques, with only very minimal adjustment of the patient’s natural teeth. Now happily married, this patient is thrilled with his new smile.
