Dr Hayashi is soft spoken, has a tender touch, and he even has a sense of humor. He is very…read moreexperienced in his dental practice. Every visit, I overhear patients expressing their appreciation and relief when they leave. His dental office area comprises of multiple dental chairs separated by their work cabinets. Some seats have TV's. Call to make an appointment. That usually means you will get an answering machine and they will call you back to book. When you arrive, sign in at the front desk. When they call you in, you will be asked to go straight back to their restroom to swoosh your mouth with mouthwash before you are seated in a dental chair. Your teeth will be cleaned, x-rayed and Dr will inspect your teeth, unrushed. If all is clear, your next appointment will be made and you can hopefully skip out of the office with good news.

Cheers to a New Year of good…read moreeats and we need our teeth to enjoy all of the yummy foods, so for my very first review of 2025 goes out to my dentist, Patrick C Hayahi, DDS. He is a Godsend and saved me so many times of very painful toothache and tooth problems. hehe.. So grateful to to my friend, who referred me to Dr. Hayashi, I've been seeing him for over a year now. The staff is super friendly too & they work super hard! Besides the cleaning, I've had many procedures done, ( extraction, root canal x2, crown, & more) Few of procedures took over 2 hours even went past office closing time, but Dr. & Staff are so patient, they didn't seem to rush at all. Many times I am in pain and have trips plan the next day, of course the staff was able to squeeze me in, got the problem resolved so I can go on my trips. Don't want to be in pain when on vacation. How awesome is this?! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Dr. Hayashi is super cute, very gentle and caring, he has many years of experience, over 30+ years and you can tell. His favorite hobby is Golfing, how did I find out, we talked about a neighbor island trip and he was excited about golfing. The office staff Janey & Susie are very friendly and professional! Its always great to get to see them. Dr. Hayashi's dental practice is located at 1144 12th Ave. right between Via Gelato & Duk Kee Chinese Restaurant. Some of services offered are: cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, general dentistry, dental implants, & root canal. If you are looking for a reliable and skilled dentist in Honolulu, I totally recommend Dr. Patrick C. Hayashi. Happy 2025, happy eating, I love to eat and I am ready to grind! Thank You to Dr. Hayashi & staff!

My dad complained about a toothache after eating a hamburger that I had made for him. (And NO, it…read morewas not because of my cooking! Buwahahahahaha!) Originally, he thought maybe it was fluke (about the toothache), and was hoping it was just temporary, but after a few days when it didn't go away, I ended up taking my dad to see my dentist - Dr. Steven Kumasaka in Kaneohe. After Dr. Steve looked at my father's tooth, he knew exactly what was causing the pain, and decided to refer my dad to "Oral Surgery Hawaii" because my dad had excessive bleeding (probably due to my dad taking blood thinners) in the past, when Dr. Steve had to remove a tooth for my dad. Oral Surgery Hawaii has three offices - they have an office in town, at the Ala Moana building, an office in Aiea, & an office in Kaneohe. Upon calling Oral Surgery Hawaii, I elected to make an appointment for my dad at the office in town because it was close to my workplace where I could easily drop off, and pick up my dad. Dr. Craig Yamamoto was the oral surgeon who took care of my dad, and I must say that he did an outstanding job doing my dad's surgery as there was minimum bleeding, & the procedure wasn't to painful for him either. The staff at Oral Surgery Hawaii was very professional, and informative. They explained to me on what to do for my dad after the surgery, as well as the staff following up the next day to see how my dad was doing. Nobody wants a tooth removed, but if you ever need something like this done, I can easily say that going to Oral Surgery Hawaii is a great place, and if you're lucky enough to get Dr. Craig Yamamoto, even better! (Although probably all of the doctors on staff are good! Lol!). Oral Surgery Hawaii does an array of procedures, looking at their website, I see they do the following types of procedures - 1. Dental Implants 2. Wisdom Tooth Removal 3. Full-Arch Restoration 4. Bone Grafting 5. Tooth Extractions 6. Impacted Canines 7. Orthognathic Surgery 8. Cleft Lip and Palate 9. Oral Pathology 10. Pre-Prosthetic Surgery 11. Other Tooth Replacement Procedures 12. Facial Trauma 13. Platelet-Rich Plasma Here's da link - https://oralsurgeryhawaii.com/procedures

Dr. Nishimoto I believe his title is an oral surgeon....some kind of specialty dentist!…read moreWe came to see Dr. Nishimoto because my son had a tooth ache which I thought was due to an infected cavity. (Abscess). His cheek was swollen. We had seen his pediatric dentist at Tooth Buds (whom we also love by the way). Dr. Lauren is not our normal dentist, but she was great. She called Dr. Nishimoto to seek a second opinion in his specialty. They were able to take us the very next morning (my son wasn't in pain, maybe a 2/10). They fit us into their schedule and we were able to get in first thing the next morning. They even let us in the office BEFORE they opened to sign papers and get settled. We didn't wait long at all in the waiting room. Front desk staff were very friendly, office was clean and inviting. But my main point for the review is the CARE we got from Dr. Nishimoto. He is AMAZING with kids!!! OMG you could just tell he LOVES kids. He asked my son questions to determine what was going on. He saw my son for a follow up appt in a few days. For me as a mom, I was very worried because of all the horror stories you hear about infections in the mouth that can lead to DEATH. He was very attentive to my worry and concern. He took the time to explain to me what could be causing the swelling and pain and ruled out what it couldn't be such as mumps! I found our office visit to be very thorough. Turns out his diagnosis of what my son had was correct and my son felt better the next day. If I can remember correctly he had like an infection of his salivary glands and some swollen lymph nodes. Thank you Dr. Nishimoto and staff for the above and beyond quality care. We hope to see you again in 10 years (and no sooner) when my son needs his wisdom teeth pulled!

I recently had two wisdom teeth extractions plus another extraction, and from start to finish, the experience was far better than I ever expected. First off, his team is incredible--warm, friendly, and truly caring. You're welcomed with such kindness that any nerves you have immediately start to fade. And then there's Dr. Nishimoto himself, who is an absolute ray of sunshine! He has this amazing way of making you feel comfortable, explaining everything clearly, and ensuring you feel at ease throughout the process. Not only is the care top-notch, but the office itself is charming and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you need any kind of oral surgery, I highly, highly recommend Dr. Nishimoto and his team. You'll be in the best hands possible!

Dr. Gregory Lung is the very best at what he does, not only technically but personally. He made certain that I was comfortable throughout the procedure (extraction of 4 teeth). Once he numbed me, I didn't feel a thing! Great experience! Dr. Lung's dental assistant, Labry, was just as good. She kept reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. She too was just as caring and professional! Throughout the procedure, Dr. Lung called out what was needed and not once did he have to repeat himself. (He also kept sharing the credit of the success of the procedure with Labry each time I thanked him!) This office is located in a building across the street from Don Quijote Kaheka. Parking lot ceiling kind of low but I was able to get my Tacoma in and out without incident. Free validated parking! Overall, a very positive experience! I will most definitely choose this place for all of my future dental needs! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DR.

(5 stars) My wife…read morecalled the office for me when I needed to be seen, and Dr. Kyrell Wright and his team were able to get me in right away--even though it had been about a year since my last visit. From the moment I arrived, the office was professional, organized, and welcoming. Dr. Wright took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood the next steps moving forward. I really appreciate that level of communication and transparency. Let's be honest--going to the dentist is never easy, but the way they handle patients here makes a big difference. The staff is friendly, respectful, and helped make the whole experience a lot less stressful. I'm grateful for the care and consistency, even after more than a year between visits. Not my favorite place to visit--but definitely the dentist I trust.

Disclaimer: Long read. This is the only negative review I've ever written, but I felt the need to…read moreshare my experience. While the hygienists(Tiffany & Colin?) at this office provided excellent and thorough cleanings, my overall experience with the dental care was frustrating and inadequate. In December 2024, I visited for a routine cleaning and mentioned ongoing tooth sensitivity, particularly to cold liquids and brushing (no issues with chewing). Dr. Cross performed a brief examination, determined there were no cavities, and assured me my teeth were fine. However, the sensitivity persisted and worsened over time. By March 2025, the sensitivity and pain was more consistent, prompting me to contact the office. The front desk staff was dismissive, but Dr. Cross later called me directly and offered to see me the same day. Upon examination, he diagnosed a loose filling--an issue that should have been caught earlier. The cost for the replacement filling was initially quoted at $270, but moments after beginning the procedure, the nurse corrected the price to $350. (They did end up crediting me to quoted price) During the procedure, equipment shortage became apparent as conversation between nurse and dentist indicated there was no clamp for the procedure. He struggled to access the molar and applied excessive force to keep my mouth open, stretching my jaw unnaturally. As he continued working, I felt something was seriously wrong--my jaw had locked. Jaw-locking is an extremely painful and distressing condition where the joint becomes stuck, preventing normal movement. It had only happened to me once before, during all 4 wisdom tooth extractions at once, many years ago, so I immediately recognized the severity of the situation. I gestured for the dentist to stop, but he was visibly frustrated and did not immediately understand the problem. I attempted to murmur an explanation, but due to the anesthesia and my locked jaw, I could barely communicate. When he finally removed the mouth block and realized what had happened, his first reaction was alarm--he said, "Oh no, no, that's not good." Instead of offering reassurance, he attempted to force my jaw back into place, which I knew could cause further harm. I stopped him as it could make worsen the situation. At this point, I was panicked, unable to move my jaw or speak clearly, while Dr. Cross repeatedly muttered about how bad the situation was. I suggested calling in another doctor, Dr. Wright, hoping for a better approach. When Dr. Wright entered the room, his immediate response was, "Oh no, that's a scary, scary situation." His words did nothing to calm me. After briefly assessing the issue, suggested I use a warm towel to relax the area and left the room. Sitting with a locked jaw and worsening anxiety, I did my best to stay calm and massage the area until Dr. Wright returned in several minutes to repositioned my jaw, successfully unlocking it. The relief was immense. The procedure had to be stopped due to the incident, and Dr. Cross placed a temporary filling to return following week to complete. Given what had happened, I requested Dr. Wright handle the remainder of the procedure instead. The next visit went more smoothly, but the temporary filling had set more firmly than expected, requiring more drilling. Despite completing the filling, my tooth pain persisted. Over the following weeks, biting and chewing remained painful, and temperature sensitivity worsened. A follow-up visit provided little clarity--Dr. Wright speculated about a potential cracked tooth without a thorough examination and suggested a nightguard for $500 to reduce teeth grinding. After multiple visits, $800 in expenses, and an unnecessary traumatic experience, my tooth remains painful, and I struggle to chew normally. Each follow-up felt rushed, with no genuine concern for patient care. The office's lack of empathy, poor handling of complications, and dismissive attitude toward my worsening condition left me significantly worse off than when I initially sought treatment.
