General and Preventative Care

Dental cleanings and exams every six months are the easiest way to avoid cavities and gum disease. Regular visits also let Dr. Jaurequi spot small issues early — before they become bigger, more expensive problems.

During checkups, we use 3-D imaging, digital x-rays, and intraoral cameras to capture accurate images of your teeth and gums. Dr. Jaurequi then walks you through what he sees, so you can make informed decisions about your care.

Our gentle hygienists focus on the health of your gums, watching for signs of gingivitis and periodontal disease so they can be treated early. Learn more about our approach to General Dentistry Lihue.

 

Advanced Dental Technology

Digital dentistry improves nearly every part of your visit. Digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3-D cone beam imaging make diagnosing conditions and planning treatment efficient and accurate.

Digital impressions do away with the usual messy paste, making the process more comfortable and producing better-fitting restorations like crowns and bridges.

For patients who feel anxious, nitrous oxide can offer the gentle relaxation needed to stay comfortable through any procedure

 

Randall Jaurequi, DDS, an experienced dentist in Lihue, Kauai. graduated in 1996 from the University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry in San Francisco. After graduating, Dr J’s work experience throughout California and Micronesia provided the foundation for his return home to begin helping people in the community. Kaua’i was the ideal place to establish his practice and begin service…plus there’s great surf!

Restorative and Cosmetic Options

Missing or damaged teeth affect more than your smile — they affect how you eat, speak, and feel. We offer several restorative paths so you can choose what fits your goals and lifestyle.

If you have a broken or weakened tooth, or one that's been filled multiple times, a dental crown can rebuild strength and appearance. When one or two teeth in a row are missing, a custom bridge can fill the gap. See more on Dental Crowns Bridges Lihue.

For a discreet way to straighten crooked teeth, ask about Invisalign Lihue — clear aligners that work without metal brackets or wires.

And for patients facing significant tooth loss, All On 4 Implants Lihue can replace an entire arch with just four strategically placed implants, often allowing patients to leave with a secure set of temporary teeth the same day.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Jaurequi to talk through the option that's right for you.

We'll review your goals, your oral health, and your timeline so you have a clear plan before any treatment begins.

He lives in Wailua Homesteads with his wife Napu and son James. When the family isn't in the water surfing, they're tending fruit trees, laying hens, and beehives on their property.
