Brighten Up Your Smile

Tags: Teeth Whitening   cosmetic dentistry  

Many people settle for undesirable or average-looking smiles because they think it will take too much time and effort to make their teeth teeth whiteninglook better. But you can make a significant change in the way your smile looks by simply brightening it with a teeth bleaching appointment with Dr. Wynn Okuda. This treatment requires just one appointment during an extended lunch hour at Dr. Okuda's office in Honolulu, HI.

Have You Tried Other Tooth Whitening Methods?
Many patients who end up going to the dentist for teeth whitening have tried multiple over-the-counter products and methods of getting their teeth whiter. These other methods aren't always very effective, and if they do work they take very long to show a difference. Some patients have gum sensitivity and experience inflammation or irritation due to misuse of store-bought products.

Why Patients Prefer Professional Teeth Bleaching
One reason why patients choose to go to Dr. Okuda's Honolulu, HI dentist office to have their teeth whitened is because it only requires about 60 to 90 minutes. A professional session also provides them with results that they simply can’t get with over-the-counter products. Expect your smile to improve by up to eight shades. After a teeth whitening session, your brighter smile can last for two or more years.

Stop Discoloration and Staining Before It Starts
If you're aware of why your teeth yellowed or stained, you can prevent this from happening in the future. Follow these simple tips for stopping discoloration and staining before it starts:

- Sip your beverages out of a straw instead of drinking directly out of a cup.
- Use a quality fluoride toothpaste that is recommended by your dentist and consider brushing a few times a week with a whitening paste.
- Rinse and lightly brush after eating a colorful meal or darkly pigmented fruits.
- See your dentist for six-month cleanings.

Brighten Your Smile in One Session
A youthful-looking smile can make all the difference, which is why you should consider a teeth whitening session with Dr. Wynn Okuda. Call (808) 734-1099 today to set an appointment at his office in Honolulu, HI.

What is Bonding?

By Wynn H. Okuda DMD, Inc
December 19, 2017
Category: Oral Health
Tags: cosmetic dentistry   dental bonding  

Bonding, a simple dental treatment that improves the appearance and function of teeth, is one the more common cosmetic dentistry dental bondingservices that dentists provide. Honolulu, HI, dentist Dr. Wynn Okuda discusses the bonding process and explains how it can improve your smile.

Cosmetic bonding offers the ideal way to repair or enhance teeth

Bonding involves using a material called composite resin to repair damaged areas or change the way teeth look. The plastic-based material is soft and flexible when it's applied to your teeth. In fact, it looks and acts very much like putty. Thanks to its flexibility, it can be manipulated into the exact shape needed to fill in chips or cover discolorations.

Composite resin is available in many tooth-colored shades to ensure that your dental work won't be obvious. Exposing the resin to a curing light hardens it and ensures that it's capable of withstanding normal wear and tear. After making a few adjustments, your dentists polishes the tooth to complete the process.

Bonding is a versatile dental treatment

Bonding is an effective treatment for several types of cosmetic issues, including:

  • Discolorations: Bonding conceals discolorations that make you feel self-conscious about your smile.
  • Gaps: Eliminating slight gaps between teeth is a simple as applying a little bonding material.
  • Too-Short Teeth: Have your teeth decreased in length due to your grinding habit? Bonding lengthens teeth shortened by enamel erosion. Because continued grinding may eventually affect the bonded area, we may recommend a nightguard when you visit our Honolulu office.
  • Crooked Teeth: Bonding can straighten the edges of crooked teeth. It's a good option if you only have a few crooked teeth, and your bite isn't affected. If all or most of your teeth are crooked, you may benefit from orthodontic treatment.
  • Chips, Cracks and Breaks: Bonding is often used to restore teeth damaged by cracks, chips or breaks. In some cases, it may even be possible to reattach the broken portion of your tooth with bonding.

Would you like to find out if bonding is the ideal cosmetic dentistry treatment for your problem? Call Honolulu, HI, dentist Dr. Wynn Okuda at (808) 734-1099 to schedule an appointment.

Let Veneers Improve Your Smile

By Wynn H. Okuda DMD, Inc
October 17, 2017
Category: Oral Health
Tags: Veneers   cosmetic dentistry  

Veneers are versatile, treating many cosmetic dental issues and can provide a range of results. From subtly tweaking your smile’s small veneersimperfections to completely renewing your look, veneers can help most people who wish to improve the appearance of their smile. But what can veneers do for you? Find out more about dental veneers with Dr. Wynn Okuda at Okuda Cosmetic Dentistry in Honolulu, HI.

What do veneers treat? 
Veneers can treat a myriad of problems. The veneer fits over the surface of the tooth, allowing it to simply cover the tooth’s imperfections. Thanks to this design, dentists can use veneers to treat:

  • cracked teeth
  • chipped teeth
  • discolored or yellowed teeth
  • uneven teeth
  • slightly misaligned teeth
  • slightly under or overcrowded teeth
  • too-wide or narrow teeth

How can veneers help me? 
Veneers stand alone on each individual tooth. This means that you can, for example, renew the appearance of a single chipped tooth or use veneers to completely overhaul your smile. A dental laboratory custom-makes each veneer especially for your smile to fit exactly into your existing teeth. In addition to its shape and size, the laboratory can also color-match the veneer to blend seamlessly in with your teeth.

Dental Veneers in Honolulu, HI
While veneers have many benefits which can help in various situations, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. The teeth which hold the veneers should be in good dental health and strong enough to provide a sturdy foundation for the veneer. Additionally, patients should understand that veneers require dentists to remove a super-thin layer of enamel from the surface of the teeth, meaning this procedure is permanent. Veneers can last for years before requiring replacement, making at-home oral care crucial to extending the life of your restorations. Brush twice a day and floss at least once in between twice-yearly dental examinations and professional dental cleanings.

For more information on dental veneers, please contact Dr. Wynn Okuda at Okuda Cosmetic Dentistry in Honolulu, HI. Call (808) 734-1099 to schedule your appointment for a veneer consultation with Dr. Okuda today!

Porcelain Crowns Restore The Look And Function of A Tooth

By Wynn H. Okuda DMD, Inc

Tags: restorative dentistry   Dental Crowns   cosmetic dentistry  

If one of your teeth doesn’t look as good as it used to, a crown can make it look like new. Porcelain crowns, in particular, are the ideal dental crownsrestorative option for a number of reasons. Take a moment to explore how getting porcelain crowns at the Honolulu, HI cosmetic dental office of Dr. Wynn Okuda can restore both the look and function of your teeth. 

Crown Restorations
In most cases, when there are one or two problem teeth, one of the first solutions your dentist will consider is crowns. Dental crowns are a replacement for the outer enamel of a tooth that’s healthy on the inside. When all of the teeth are strong, they support each other and improve the overall function of your mouth. The addition of just one crown can make your smile considerably stronger and healthier.

Why Porcelain?
Crowns can be created using metal and ceramic material, but porcelain is the material of choice for most dentists. That’s because it has a combination of durability, resiliency and good looks that is unmatched by other dental materials. Porcelain is very smooth and feels as natural as human tooth enamel. Dr. Okuda specializes in porcelain crown installations at his Honolulu cosmetic dental office. 

The Crown Placement Procedure
You’ll have to visit your dentist at least two times to have a crown installed. At one appointment, the outer enamel layer will be removed to make room for the device. An impression will be made and a temporary acrylic crown will be added to preserve the spacing of your teeth. At the follow-up appointment, the newly fashioned permanent crown made of porcelain will be bonded to the surface using a strong dental bonding agent.

Does Your Smile Need Restoring?
A porcelain crown can do wonders for restoring the appearance and function of your teeth. Some patients forget that they even have a crown after a while because they look so natural and blend in with the rest of your teeth. Call (808) 734-1099 today to schedule a visit to Dr. Okuda’s Honolulu, HI cosmetic dentistry.

Say Cheese!

When's the last time you revealed your teeth in a photograph? If your teeth are yellow or stained, it's probably been a while. Honolulu, teeth whiteningHI, dentist, Dr. Wynn Okuda, explains how teeth bleaching treatment can help your teeth look picture perfect again.

Dull teeth don't happen overnight

Teeth usually become duller gradually. If you look at old pictures of yourself, you'll probably notice that your smile used to be much brighter. A duller smile can occur due to several reasons. As you age, dentin, the darker layer of your teeth that's located just under your enamel, gets even darker. Unfortunately, as the dentin darkens, the layer of enamel covering gets thinner. Your smile will also look duller if you smoke cigarettes or cigars or chew tobacco. Your favorite foods and beverages can also contribute to a less-than-white smile, particularly if you enjoy coffee, tea or cola.

Bleaching makes stains a distant memory

Teeth bleaching, also called whitening, is very effective at targeting the stains that penetrate tooth enamel.

Dr. Okuda takes the time to protect these sensitive areas before your treatment in his Honolulu office begins. Protection involves a two-step process. First, a layer of gel is applied to your gums. The gel offers a very effective barrier that prevents the whitening agent from reaching the tissue. After the gel is applied, small devices called retractors lift your lips and gums and prevent them from coming in contact with the hydrogen peroxide. After about an hour, the whitening agent and the protective gel is removed, revealing a brighter smile.

Whitening offers long-lasting results

If you've tried a drugstore whitening product in the past, you may have been disappointed because the results didn't last very long. Professional whitening offers much better results. In most cases, your teeth will stay white for at least six months after your treatment, although many people report excellent results as much as five years after whitening.

Make your smile brighter and whiter with teeth bleaching. Call Honolulu, HI, dentist, Dr. Wynn Okuda, at (808) 734-1099 to schedule your appointment.

What can I expect at a teeth whitening appointment?

You should be in good dental health with no signs of teeth decay or gum disease. Additionally, you should not have any noticeable or visible porcelain dental restorations in the area which you would like whitened. If teeth whitening is right for you, your dentist will section off the teeth from the rest of the mouth to ensure the gel does not cause any irritation or discomfort during the procedure. Then, your dentist applies whitening gel to the teeth and leaves it to sit for about an hour until the end of the treatment.

Let porcelain crowns restore strength and function back into a broken or decaying tooth.

It can be frustrating to find out from our Honolulu dentist, Dr. Wynn Okuda, that you are dealing with a broken, decaying or infected tooth.dental crowns Many people that come into our office complaining of dental pain are often dealing with damage that has reached the inside of the tooth. If you are dealing with this issue find out more about dental crowns and how they can help.

What is a dental crown?

While dental crowns have been around for a very long time, the magic of advanced dental technology has been able to design crowns that truly look just like the crown of a real tooth. These hollow tooth-shaped caps are custom-designed to fit over your tooth to become its new and improve outer surface.

Why do I need a dental crown?

Imagine how weak a damaged tooth is, whether from injury, serious decay or an infection. Imagine how easy it would be to further damage a tooth that is already not as strong as it should be. Now you know why a dental crown is needed. A dental crown can fully restore function and strength back into a tooth that so desperately needs it.

Our Honolulu general dentist wants to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible, but since it’s damaged the best way to do this is often through a dental crown. By placing the crown over the tooth and cementing it into place we can breathe new life back into your smile.

While dental crowns are often restorative in nature they may also be used for aesthetic purposes as well. While less common, a crown may be placed over a tooth that is severely malformed, uneven or discolored. If the tooth cannot benefit from veneers, teeth whitening or other cosmetic treatments than we may recommend getting a dental crown to improve your tooth’s appearance.

Have questions about dental crowns? Want to find out if they are right for you? Then call our Honolulu dental office today to schedule your consultation.

Ready to hide dental imperfections once and for all? Now you can with veneers!

Nothing looks better than a pristine smile. But if certain imperfections have you smiling less than you would like then veneersit’s time to talk to your Honolulu, HI cosmetic dentist Dr. Wynn Okuda about whether veneers can help.

About Veneers

These wafer-thin shells may not seem that impressive at first but when they are added to the front of your teeth, you’ll be amazed just how much they can improve the overall look of your smile. Porcelain veneers are custom-made to cover surface imperfections and change the color, shape or size of a tooth or teeth.

While veneers can be made from a variety of materials porcelain tends to be the most popular because it is resistant to stains and also reflects light the same way as natural teeth. However, resin veneers often require less tooth enamel removal prior to placement. In order to decide which type of veneers are the best kind for you, you’ll need to talk with your dentist in Honolulu, HI.

When to Consider Dental Veneers

Veneers are most commonly used to hide:

  • Discolored teeth
  • Misshapen or worn down teeth
  • Spaces between teeth
  • Chipped, cracked or fractured teeth
  • Misaligned, crooked or uneven teeth

If you are dealing with unsightly teeth and are looking for a way to get a whiter, straighter and more attractive smile then veneers may be the best option for you. Veneers can be used to fix so many different dental problems so find out how you can benefit from these cosmetic restorations.

Getting Your Veneers

Once we’ve evaluated your smile and determined that veneers are right for you, we will need to take X-rays and impressions of your mouth. These impressions will provide a lab with the proper tooth measurements from which to create your perfectly shaped and crafted veneers.

Next, your teeth will need to be prepared for your veneers. We will remove about ½ millimeter of enamel from the front of your teeth to prepare for the added thickness of the veneers. Don’t worry, this isn’t painful and many times this can be performed without needing local anesthesia.

Veneers are usually fabricated within one to two weeks. After which, you will come into our office for a fitting. We will temporarily apply the veneers to make sure you love your new look. Once you have approved your veneers will be permanently attached.
