Our Specialty Services
3Shape Trios Scanner
With the 3Shape Trios intraoral scanner, we’re able to achieve a three-in-one digital impression solution. Dr. Gaeta can use this scanner for a variety of different impressions needed for accurate and predictable results. This scanner provides patients with a more comfortable, quick, and convenient dental visit.
Acteon CBCT
Cone Beam Computed Technology (CBCT) is an advanced piece of dental technology that has improved the overall diagnostic process. CBCT scans are similar to x-rays, but they show dental issues in precise detail. This allows Dr. Gaeta and our team to produce a more accurate treatment plan for each patient.
The Acteon CBCT machine takes multiple images in a short span of time, creating a concise overview of your jaw and head. Our non-invasive CBCT scans can be completed in under one minute and cause minimal discomfort.
Intraoral Photography
Intraoral photography involves in-depth photos of your teeth, gums, and oral tissue. These photos can be of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or any area in your mouth. We’ll take these photos with a small, portable camera tool to ensure you’re comfortable and that we get the most accurate images possible.
Biolase
With Waterlase laser dentistry from Biolase, we can treat patient’s dental issues without heat, vibration, and drilling for a non-invasive and comfortable treatment. This advanced technology combines laser energy and water to provide an effective dental experience with long-lasting results.
Lasers give Dr. Gaeta the ability to find tiny areas of decay that other dental tools can’t. Learn how Waterlase laser dentistry can change your dental experience.
DIAGNOdent
DIAGNOdent is an advanced piece of technology that Dr. Gaeta uses to find even the smallest areas of tooth decay and cavities. This small tool is a portable laser that allows us to detect cavities on the chewing surface of the back teeth that may have gone undetected with other methods.
The DIAGNOdent tool provides patients with a comfortable full mouth scan and can be completed in a matter of minutes.
Micro Air Abrasion
Our Micro Air Abrasion techniques allow patients to undergo dental procedures without uncomfortable drilling. It’s a minimally invasive technique used to remove tooth decay effectively, quickly, and safely. Micro air abrasion is an instrument that works like a tiny sandblaster that emits a stream of particles aimed at the decayed part of the tooth.
Digital X-Rays
Digital x-rays are an essential part of your dental appointments. They show Dr. Gaeta and our team areas of concern that aren’t visible to the naked eye. With digital dental x-rays, the entire process is faster, safer, and more comfortable.
The images are available immediately and will be displayed on a small monitor where both Dr. Gaeta and our patients can view them. This means that patients are more involved in the development of their treatment plan and can detect issues quicker than ever before.
The Wand STA
We understand that some of our patients feel fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist. To help patients feel relaxed at our Kailua-Kona dental office, we use the Wand STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System. This piece of technology is a Single Tooth Anesthetic System that uses a Wand hand-piece computer-controlled dental injection system to slowly numb the surgical area, avoiding the use of needles.
Experience Comfortable Dental Visits
