Services
Orthodontic Services
We provide comprehensive orthodontic care to correct teeth alignment and jaw positioning issues. Our treatments address both functional and cosmetic concerns using proven methodologies. Patients receive customized treatment plans developed through thorough examination and consultation with Dr. Gloeckner.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign treatment offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using removable, nearly invisible aligners. This system gradually shifts teeth into proper position while allowing patients to maintain normal oral hygiene routines. The custom-fitted aligners provide comfort and aesthetic advantages for both teens and adults.
Clear Braces
We offer tooth-colored ceramic braces that blend naturally with your smile during treatment. These braces function similarly to metal braces but with enhanced aesthetics. The durable material maintains effectiveness while minimizing visibility for patients seeking a more discreet orthodontic solution.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional whitening services enhance smiles by removing surface stains and discoloration. The treatments use advanced bleaching agents under professional supervision for safe, effective results. Patients achieve noticeable improvements in tooth color as part of their overall smile transformation process.
Fastbraces
We offer Fastbraces technology that shortens traditional orthodontic treatment times. This system uses specially designed brackets and movement techniques to straighten teeth more efficiently. The accelerated approach maintains effectiveness while reducing the duration of wear compared to standard braces.

Great dentist, great staff! Setting appointments is super easy and Im always able to get in at a time that works with MY schedule. This is not a cattle herding type of office, that has a huge waiting room stuffed full of people. This is a smaller office that values your time and gets you in and out, with great results. Communication is awesome, and real people answer the phone - no automated nonsense. Highly recommend.

OMG, I was an ugly duckie with jacked up teeth until I went to Aloha Dental and had Bruce Gloeckner DDS work on my teeth. I really appreciate him and his work. I'll definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

The staff is friendly. Great prices. The only thing that I dont like is the doctor not wearing a mask, is uncomfortable to have his breath in my face. Please wear a mask or a face shield. Thank you. Other than that everything is great.

Love Aloha Dental. Dr. Bruce is awesome and Nanj is great along with the rest of the staff. Originally I was scheduled to take my kids out of town after conducting research but then I was blessed with being referred to Aloha. Best decision I ever made! Best!
