Restore Your Tooth's Health and Function

We understand the importance of maintaining your oral health, and dental fillings play a crucial role in that. Our team has expertise in composite fillings in Kahului and effectively restores your teeth. We ensure your fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, allowing you to smile confidently.

What Are
Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are materials used to restore the function and integrity of a tooth that has been compromised due to cavities or damage. The filling material is placed into the cavity, sealing it to prevent further decay and providing strength to the tooth. Common filling materials include composite resin, amalgam, porcelain, and glass ionomer, each offering unique benefits to meet your specific dental needs.

When Do You Need
Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are necessary for individuals facing various dental issues. Here are some common reasons for needing fillings:

  • Cavities caused by decay from poor oral hygiene.
  • Cracked or fractured teeth from trauma or grinding.
  • Worn teeth due to acid exposure or grinding.
  • Cosmetic improvements for discolored or misshapen teeth.

What Does Getting a
Dental Filling Involve at Island Dental?

  • Examination: Our dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of decay or damage.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
  • Decay Removal: The affected portion of the tooth is removed using specialized dental instruments.
  • Filling Placement: The filling material is placed in the cavity, shaped to match the contours of your tooth, and then hardened, if necessary.
  • Final Adjustments: The dentist will check your bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality.

Caring for
Your Dentures

To maintain the longevity and appearance of your dentures, follow these aftercare tips:

  • Clean Daily: Rinse and brush your dentures daily to remove food particles and plaque.
  • Handle with Care: Be gentle when cleaning and handling your dentures to avoid damage
  • Soak Overnight: Soak your dentures in a denture cleaning solution overnight to keep them fresh.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Schedule regular dental visits to monitor your oral health and the condition of your dentures.
  • Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your dentures.

Best Dentist on Maui

Highest regard to the level of service and skill at this practice. My dental hygienist was the most tactful and comprehensive I have experienced since leaving my holistic hygienist on Oahu. Finding this level of care here in Maui is such a comfort. Mahalo for making me feel comfortable and cared for.

I had 2 caps replaced today. I was able to get an appointment right away. I like Dr. Brooks. He was very good about letting me know what to expect during the procedure and kept me informed about what he was doing before he transitioned to each part of the procedure. It helped decrease any anxiety. His technician, Casey was so sweet and caring. All the way to the ladies running the front desk, I felt very comfortable and confident with my care. Thank you, Island Dental! 😁

My sisters referred me to Island Dental so I set up an initial appointment to try them out. I had to reschedule, but they were able to fit me into a last-minute appointment when I called again. The entire process of getting X-rays and the cleaning with Dr. Stanley went well. He was attentive to my concerns and dental history. I have to go back to get some work done, but I'm happy it was discovered when it was
