Going to the dentist is necessary to maintain dental health. Poor oral health has been linked with diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Dentists such as Carter S Yokoyama DDS specialize in dental care to keep your gums and teeth healthy and looking beautiful.
At any& Family Dentist in Kona clinics, the dentists believe in providing high quality dental care with the most current technology. Most dental practices have three parts: general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and a dental spa. Some general dentistry practices use a digital x-ray to reduce radiation exposure for the patients. Intraoral cameras can also be used to photograph evidence of decay and other problems. The hygienists check patients’ gums during the cleaning and make suggestions to help improve their oral care routine when needed.
In the cosmetic dentistry practice, which is a combination of sculpture and dental work, patients can be provided with porcelain veneers, whitening, bonding, white fillings, and gum lifting. Porcelain veneers cover stains and small chips in teeth. A whitening treatment can brighten teeth. Bonding is an alternative to veneers when the chips may be too large or the teeth too crooked. White fillings are an alternative to the traditional metal ones and are less unsightly and are more friendly to the teeth. Gum lifting can improve the appearance of large gums that make teeth look small. In the cosmetic practice the dentist can offer a smile makeover, among other things, this can improve worn or chipped teeth, mismatched teeth from previous dental work, or uneven or slanted teeth.
Dental spas are the new frontier with dental treatments. At the dental spa in Kona, the idea is to relax while getting dental care. The treatment chairs have pillows and blankets, headphones are offered to hide the noise of the tools; these headphones play music or allow the patients to watch TV or movies. There are paraffin hand wax treatments available and eye masks. Relaxation is the operative word here.
At some comprehensive family dental clinics patients can go to the dentist without feeling like it’s an ordeal, while still receiving the optimal dental care. Visit us website for more information.
