Ronald H Hirata DMD, MS
Ronald H Hirata DMD, MS is a
dentist and orthodontist that specializes in pediatric dentistry and
orthodontics. These specialties complement each other very well since it is
often beneficial to start orthodontic care early in children. With memberships
in many prestigious dental associations, such as the American Association of
Orthodontics, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the Hawaii
Dental Association, Dr. Hirata is dedicated to providing the best care possible
for his patients. Since 1991, Dr. Hirata and his friendly staff have been
providing excellent dental care for adults and children as young as 6 months
old in and around Kailua-Kona.Everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile, and
Dr. Hirata is dedicated to helping each and every one of his patients get it.
He's experienced in many types of orthodontic treatment options and will work
to correct various dental issues, including overbites, misaligned jaws, crooked
teeth, and more. Dr. Hirata specializes in self-ligating braces. This treatment
option is preferred over traditional braces because they do not have rubber
bands and are smaller.Proper dental hygiene is very important, especially for
patients with braces. Dr. Hirata instructs each of his patients on the best
ways to keep their teeth healthy and strong while they are going through their
orthodontic treatment. Unlike most orthodontists, Dr. Hirtata will regularly
remove all of the wires of a patient's braces and thoroughly clean hard to
reach spots. This helps protect enamel, prevent cavities, and maintain healthy
gums. Visiting the dentist can be a stressful experience, especially for young
children. Dr. Hirata and his staff want each and every one of their patients to
feel at ease. Instead of reprimanding patients that may not have the best
brushing or flossing habits, they take the time to teach you why dental hygiene
is so important and the easiest ways to keep your smile bright and healthy.
