Dental Examination
The answer is with the utmost care. Some pregnant women might be hesitant to visit the dentist at this time. The majority of this anxiety can be due to concerns for the infant. Thankfully, these worries are unjustified. Pregnant women and their unborn children can typically get dental examinations without risk because trained specialists will handle them.
X-rays
A dental X-Ray is crucial in helping to diagnose dental problems before they turn into serious, costly situations. Dental X-Rays allow the dentist to see...

Teeth Cleaning
Depending how old your child is, exams usually involve looking around the gums, teeth, jaws, and bite for healthy growth and development. Your child's visit also includes a gentle cleaning to remove plaque, tartar, and stains.
Fluoride Treatment
Brushing your teeth and flossing are the best ways to keep your mouth healthy. Preventative care provided by your dentist and hygienist is another critical layer of protection. Schedule your routine cleanings, fluoride treatments, and check-ups every 6 months.
Dental Sealants
Most people are aware of the importance of taking care of their teeth. We are told to brush at least twice a day, floss daily, and visit the dentist regularly. However, even with all of that, cavities can still form. That's where sealants come in. Sealants are a type of preventative dental care that can help reduce your risk of developing cavities. But what are they exactly? Keep reading to find out.
Space Maintainers
For your child may choose one of two alternative treatments if the cavity is too severe or if the decay is too extensive for a filling to cover. The first is the creation of a dental crown, and the second involves tooth extraction. If the latter is necessary, your child may require a space maintainer to stop their permanent teeth from crowding the area.

Fillings
On the other hand, amalgam fillings are unsightly and may contain hazardous substances. Mercury, in particular, has prompted many people to abandon metal restorations entirely. While silver fillings include mercury, the metal's bonds to other elements eliminate the adverse effects. Additionally, they are less expensive and frequently covered by insurance. So naturally, you might want to think about other possibilities if you discover that you are allergic to any of the metals in this filling.
Resin Composite
A dental filling procedure is the most common dental treatment for a decayed tooth. This procedure fills the space left by removing the decayed portion of the tooth with a restorative material. The dental filling is an amalgam, gold, porcelain, or composite resin.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells. The front of the teeth is then covered with these shells to provide a uniform, attractive appearance. The primary purpose of veneers is to hide imperfections on a tooth, such as streaking, slight chipping, or discoloration.
Crowns
A crown is a dental restoration that fits over a tooth. Crowns strengthen and cover damaged teeth, restoring them to their original shape and function. When you have tooth decay (also known as cavities), a chipped, broken, or cracked tooth, crowns are frequently recommended.
Bridges
Completely naturally, especially with a porcelain dental bridge, which blends in with the color of the patient's teeth naturally and has excellent stain resistance. In addition to bridging the gap caused by a missing tooth, it preserves the face's natural shape.

Root Canal Treatment
Getting a root canal can be nerve-wracking (no pun intended). The relaxation, of course, makes up for all the suffering. But, unfortunately, that's generally the case as well. People who usually get

Deep Cleaning
Wonderful service and quality of work at HFD. Best staff on the island. Molly did a fantastic job on my deep cleaning and it was the most painless cleaning I have ever had. Mahalo nui loa HFD!

Dentures
Dentures are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth. There are four main categories: partial dentures, complete dentures, over dentures, and instant dentures. The most common are partial and whole.
Overdentures
This is a removable dental prosthesis that fits over one or more remaining natural teeth or dental implants by snapping into place or via other means such as attachments. They are commonly used when there aren't enough remaining natural teeth to support a regular partial denture but there are still some healthy ones left that need to be preserved. An overdenture also helps reduce any further bone loss in the jawbone which often happens when there are no longer any tooth roots present in that area to stimulate it. Additionally, research has shown that overdentures can improve chewing ability and speech as well as provide psychological benefits such as increased self-esteem and confidence due to an improved appearance.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are natural-looking tooth replacements. They may be indistinguishable, blending in with the color of your neighboring teeth. After the implant surgery has healed, you can even brush and floss the implant the same way you would your natural teeth. People choose implants for a variety of reasons, including...

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
General dentists commonly perform a simple extraction on a fully erupted or noticeably visible tooth in the mouth. The dentist uses an elevator to loosen the tooth and forceps to remove it.
Bone Grafting
A dental bridge procedure does not involve surgeries like bone grafting, in contrast to other dental procedures like dental implants, which demand at least one operation. Instead, it recontours merely a part of the enamel to create space for the

Orthodontics
Our team is available for emergency dental appointments, cleanings, pediatric dentistry, and orthodontics. Call 748-4970 to schedule an appointment or request an appointment online.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of transparent trays, commonly known as aligners. Your teeth will gradually realign as you place them in the tailored trays. Every two weeks, you'll get new trays.
Braces
The treatment can substitute expensive procedures like dental braces as tooth reshaping eliminates minor overlapping and misalignment and makes the teeth appear straighter. However, this may only be true with minor imperfections.

Teeth Whitening
Can make our stained teeth appear pearly white. Teeth whitening enables teeth to become lighter and brighter than they already are. Before moving on to the remedy, let's examine the issue of stained teeth first.
Cosmetic Dentistry
One of the benefits of tooth reshaping is that it is less expensive than many cosmetic dentistry procedures. Depending on the task performed, it can range from $50 to $300 every month. Additionally, your insurance or discount plan can fully or partially pay for reshaping a chipped or
