Kaizen Dental Hawaii

Challenge accepted: nonpatient walk-in here on a cruise vacation, boat leaving not 6 hours later to another island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for another few weeks. No upper teeth, broke full denture while eating a musubi. Thankfully Dr. M made it back from his trip yesterday and we worked together to impress, design, 3d print and color & polish. What jetlag? Luckily pt's chair time was limited to 45 minutes, so he could still explore the 'aina for all of four hours. Yay us! He will return to NYC with a unique souvenir, and left en route to find his next musubi 🍙👫

Our "WHY." ❤️🙏

Happy Aloha Friday! 🌺 We are open tomorrow if you need anything this weekend 🤙🤙

It's not polite to ask a lady her age, so we'll just say... this patient has a son in his 50s.

Restored patient's two front teeth and created an implant overdenture for the mandibular arch. Amazing what a small change can make for the overall dentition!

"My teeth are top left 360 days out of the year. The other 5-6 days, I didn't floss because I was too tired. Before that, I never flossed so they were top middle 363 days out of the year. Eventually, they'll become middle middle because I need a nightguard, I have one, and I don't wear it. Some of my teeth are the lower left but with my regimen, I'm 1000% sure I'll never be middle bottom." - Ha, RDH

What's your story? 😂 Come visit us to find out!

We are in network with a ton of insurance companies, so if it's all the same to you, why not get a far superior crown for the same contracted rate? 😍

We are so proud of our dentist owned lab as well as our master ceramist who hails from South Africa. He is always next door, so your shade match will take a minute or two during your visit, in the same chair. We are all about efficiency!

Pt had a root canal treated tooth (which is always subject to insurance discounted fees), adjacent to a natural tooth (which is not always subject to those fees), for the ultimate esthetic look.

Text us for a personal insurance breakdown. 🦷🦷🦷 We know it's boring to you, but looking this up is our jam!

Three years ago, Dr. M bought this dental practice, one he had been working at since 2014. Back then, we had 5 people on the team. ❤️ We hope to continually grow and improve, all the while keeping the aloha spirit and treating everyone like 'ohana. ☺️🤙

Dr. M working hard, or hardly working? 🤭 He will be leaving for a handful of days in May for continuing education, so he can be the best possible provider for you. ❤️

A case like this takes lots of planning, consideration, and designing with the preferences of the patient kept foremost in mind. We are so proud to have increased the function of his teeth in addition to bringing back his smile.

Full lower dentures can be uncomfortable if they are seated solely on the ridge of your jaw bone, as they can shift back and forth. Placing copious amounts of adhesive can help but may inadvertently be ingested when chewing and eating.

Implants can be placed to address this very common annoyance, as little as two implants up to six implants. They say dentures are not a replacement for teeth, but a replacement for no teeth. With this method, you can revel in some middle ground.

Please contact us for help on navigating the complexities of your dental insurance to maximize your annual benefits. It's never too soon or too late to discover your options.
