At Sweet Tooth Dental in Kailua-Kona, HI, we focus on compassionate and family-oriented care while using the latest dental technology to achieve the best results possible. Our dentist can provide porcelain veneers that are color-matched to your teeth so they blend in seamlessly and conceal any imperfections that are preventing you from showing off your smile. Dr. Garrett B.K. Oka has over 20 years in practice, so you can rest assured that he has the skills necessary to handle your dental needs, whether they are restorative or cosmetic.

Though traditional dentures can help with issues of insecurity, functionality, and aesthetics, each of these problems can be resolved even better with All-on-4 dental implants. Not to mention, with All-on-4, you'll experience another advantage that traditional dentures just can't provide: improved oral health. That's because dental implants stimulate bone tissue, which often is lost when patients lose their natural teeth, experience decay, or live with dental trauma.

Professional teeth whitening by Garrett Oka, DDS, at Sweet Tooth Dental is a safe and effective way to whiten your smile without damaging your teeth and gums. Having an oral exam before you begin any whitening process is an important first step to make sure your tooth discoloration is not the result of a dental condition in need of treatment. Contact our office in Kailua-Kona, HI, today to request your teeth whitening consultation and set yourself up for a healthier smile.

You don't have to live with crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth.

Let our team at Sweet Tooth Dental determine if ClearCorrect is the solution you need to achieve the straight smile you've always wanted.

If you have broken or damaged a tooth, you likely want help as soon as possible. For some patients, this may mean a temporary crown placed over their tooth while a lab crafts a permanent crown. Then, an additional appointment is needed to place the permanent crown. While a temporary crown is a wonderful option for many patients, you have an even better choice. Thanks to our CEREC® machine, we can make a permanent, custom crown for your tooth in under an hour. That way, you don't have to wait a second longer for a beautiful, healthy smile, and there is no need for extra appointments to replace a temporary crown.

One advantage SureSmile has over other clear aligners is its deep involvement from the manufacturer. It requires that every set of SureSmile aligner specifications is approved by the company's Digital Lab Specialists. This diligence combines their in-house experts' experience with our dentist's knowledge. Plus, for added peace of mind, SureSmile provides a vast variety of treatment resources to the dentists who offer it. For instance, SureSmileU® Onboarding ensures that every case has the best resources. SureSmile also maintains an expansive selection of ongoing education options for dental professionals to participate in.

An infected tooth can be painful and lead to further infections and tooth loss if left untreated. While many patients believe root canals are painful, their purpose is to alleviate pain and prevent widespread damage to your teeth, gums, and body. The procedure is virtually painless, and it allows your dentist to help preserve the tooth structure, preventing you from needing expensive restorative dentistry such as an implant-supported crown.
