If you generally have healthy teeth, no toothaches, and follow common preventative dental care measures, you may wonder why you need to see a dentist. Even those with seemingly healthy smiles can benefit from a visit, which is why we recommend Kailua-Kona patients visit us every six months. We offer:
Tooth decay and gum disease don't always show painful and apparent symptoms when they first begin to develop. Seeing the dentist regularly can ensure that your oral health problems are addressed and treated in the early stages, avoiding serious issues later on.
Through X-rays and a thorough examination, Dr. Oka can assess your risk of developing various oral health problems. Once this is assessed, our Kona dentist can recommend fluoride, deep cleanings, and other preventative measures to keep your oral health in top shape.
At Sweet Tooth Dental, we help patients maintain a healthy smile free of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. We also offer cosmetic dentistry procedures, like dental implants and teeth whitening, to give you a smile that is healthy and beautiful.
From our years of experience to our insistence on having the latest technology, we want you to feel like family when you visit our clinic. Contact us or request a consultation to see what Sweet Tooth Dental in Kailua-Kona, HI, can do for you.

Living with a missing tooth can cause feelings of self-consciousness and make eating and speaking difficult. Missing teeth also have a negative impact on your health. Our Kailua-Kona dentist can help you replace missing teeth with dental implants. Dental implants work just like natural tooth roots and provide unmatched stability for dental restorations such as bridges, crowns, or dentures.
Even patients with the best oral hygiene and great dental health can want whiter, brighter, or straighter teeth. Cosmetic dentistry by Dr. Oka can dramatically transform the look of your smile. We offer custom-designed cosmetic treatment plans to realize your goals. Treatments include porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and teeth whitening.
Want to brighten your smile? Our Kailua-Kona dentist offers professional teeth whitening kits. This allows you to achieve a dramatically whitened smile from the comfort of your own home. We use KöR® products, which are recognized as the most effective teeth whitening system available. It can even lift stubborn stains caused by medications.
With dental veneers, you can quickly and effectively achieve a picture-perfect smile. These ultra-thin porcelain shells can conceal misaligned teeth, gaps, chips, cracks, and intrinsic stains that don't respond to professional teeth whitening. The advanced ceramic used in porcelain veneers mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel and can be color-matched to blend with your surrounding teeth.
Teeth that have been compromised by trauma or decay can be restored with a dental crown. Treatment with a dental crown can protect a tooth from further damage and can help prevent the need for extraction. The medical-grade materials in our dental crowns can be color-matched to blend seamlessly with the natural teeth in your smile. Our Kailua-Kona office features an advanced CEREC® machine that allows our dentist to create a custom-fitted crown in less than an hour.
The SureSmile® system is a great option for Kona patients who would like straighter teeth but put off by the thought of wearing bulky metal braces. Using a series of removable clear aligner trays to gently adjust your bite, SureSmile provides all of the advantages of braces without the restrictions. Learn more about the advantages of this orthodontic option during a visit to our Kailua-Kona office.
An in-office SprintRay 3D Printer gives our dentist the ability to print temporary acrylic dentures and night guards that fit your teeth perfectly. Dr. Oka can also print custom-made surgical guides to ensure dental implants are placed in the optimal positions within your mouth.
Forget messy impressions, the hassle of dealing with a temporary crown, and the inconvenience of a follow-up appointment to place a final crown. With the revolutionary CEREC milling system, our Kailua-Kona dentist can restore a compromised tooth with a permanent crown in a single appointment.
Our Dentsply Sirona CBCT X-ray machine gives our dentist a three-dimensional image of your teeth and soft tissues. This allows Dr. Oka to precisely plan treatments so that patients can spend less time at the dentist, experience reduced recovery times, and receive the most accurate care.
"The entire staff rocks! The most easy going people I’ve been to."
