I fell asleep during my root canal, mic drop. But seriously, Dr. Yuen is the best! I saw my family dentist when I felt a little tooth ache and was referred to Dr. Yuen. Over the weekend my tooth ache worsened and I texted him to move up my appointment. He responded right away on a Saturday. He was very thoughtful, gave me wonderful advice on which combo of pain meds to take, sent prescriptions to my local pharmacy and moved up my appointment. The whole experience was wonderful, even the root canal! I am so thankful for Dr. Yuen. read more

Elite Endodontics - View from the dental chair - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dr. Yuen and his staff were very accommodating to my crazy schedule. I was NOT looking forward to my first root canal, but I was treated with so much care that it was actually a breeze. I have to admit, I heard myself snoring a couple of times during the procedure. Thank you Dr. Yuen for an amazing experience. I'm glad it's over and I'm looking forward to chewing with the right side of my mouth again. I highly recommend Dr. Yuen and Elite Endodontics. read more

Elite Endodontics does not care about their patient being in pain. They lack professionalism on all levels! You pay a dear price to get a root canal but don't expect to have them follow up on you! I was referred there to have a root canal by my dentist Dr. Tasaka. I started having issues with that tooth after it was repaired. I made two separate appointments months apart and the office canceled my appointments both times. The receptionist said that the doctor was not well and that they would contact me. They never followed up with an appointment! I called their office, left messages multiple times. When I finally got an answer, they would did not have another specialist to refer me to. They said to go back to my dentist. I went back to my dentist twice to report my complaints. They tried to call Elite Endodontics and said it was closed. After months of being in pain without any return calls from them, I finally went to see Dr. Sean Gurney instead. He was able to get me in quickly, take X-rays and explain the problem to me. I would never refer, say anything positive or nice about Elite Endodontics except that I hope Dr. Yuen sees this review. My first root canal was a horrible and truly painful experience with them! read more

Elite Endodontics - Text from the dental office. - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Had an over the top amazing experience and had to share! Dr. Yuen, Bianca and Donna are an incredible team. Donna was extremely helpful. She let me know all of the costs and steps involved. Dr. Yuen goes above and beyond for his patients and is a steward of the global community. He picked the nicest and most comfortable chairs for his patients. More comfortable than a recliner. He and Bianca are extremely efficient and communicative during the procedures. I had no surprises. It felt more like a peaceful meditation than a root canal. A huge thank you to the Elite team!! As a side note, my dentist was very happy with Dr. Yuen's work. She said my gums looked extremely healthy. She said if I'd gone anywhere else, my follow up appointment would have been difficult. I admire and celebrate the partnership between Elite and Diamondhead Dental. read more

Dr. Yuen is one of the best dentists that have treated me. He's done several root canals and a crown. I liked that he always described what to expect when numbing my teeth. Nothing was painful besides a pinch. My last dentist had my gums feeling swollen and my teeth were sensitive for a long time. Dr. Yuen checked up on me everyday after my procedure until I was healed. Definitely amazing at what he does. read more

The absolute worst experience for any business dental or not. Called to make appt 2 weeks prior my co pay quoted Day of appointment 3 hours before they called to confirm appointment!!! Terrible right here then reconfirm payment. 15 mins prior to appointment received message instructing me to fill out form before coming to office? There's no way I can do this while I'm driving then I show up to office where they are surprised I haven't filled out forms? Reconfirm my payment After waiting for 1 hour for service which is terrible then another hour after service they try to bill me for 2.5 times the original quote because of a mistake by their staff!! Don't waste your money or time with them. read more

One word. Awesome! I was referred to Dr Yorita by my dentist because she recommended a root canal on my molar in preparation for my braces. I have seen two other dentist in previous past and have not had a root canal done in awhile so I was very scared of doing this procedure. When I called to make this appointment, Ruby re-assured me that Dr Yorita was really good and that everything was going to be just fine. I was also able to process an online patient registration in advance to avoid doing so when I got there on the day of my appointment. Today, was my visit for my root canal appointment, and I walked in really scared. The office is really clean. Ruby, the front office clerk is super nice and friendly and I believe this is what makes an office great! It all starts at the front. But it gets better! I was called to the exam room, and the assistant was also really nice, fun and caring. But even better, Dr Yorita walks in, and she is the sweetest, kindest, compassionate dentist who explains thoroughly of what she's going to do and he very gentle with what she does! I actually felt so comfortable, that I was almost ready to go to sleep!!! not once did I feel any pain! Awesome! I will recommend Dr Yorita to all my friends and family! Her team is the best! Thank you Dr Yorita and staff! read more

I came back home for vacation and found myself in increasing pain until I couldn't handle it another day! I went to see a general dentist who said I had an abscess and needed to refer me to an endodontist to relieve the pain and for a possible root canal. Elite EndodontIcs was able to squeeze me in the same day and were so awesome from the time I walked in the door to the time I left! Ruby helped try to figure out what my insurance would cover being away from home and Dr. Yuen and his staff were a so amazing relieving my pain!! He didn't try to overcharge me and only did what was needed to relieve my pain and prescribe some pain killers and antibiotics until I can get home to see my regular dentist. I wish I could have had him finish all the work- he did a great job and his office was so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend their office if you are in need of endodontic care! Mahalo for helping me get back to enjoying my vacation!! read more

Absolutely, I don't back to this office. I had bad experience. This experience was few years ago but it was still traumatic for me. First, 4 times rescheduled from Dr side reason. I made appointment at 8am, but they called me for cancel appointment that same day morning at 7:20am. I living in Honolulu, so it's ok. But if I live in far away, I'll start driving already. Finally, I had counseling then upper left teeth procedure. I told Dr that anesthesia doesn't work well for me so I had anesthesia twice at during procedure time. Then Dr injection 2nd anesthesia but needle going to though to my face, sinus area and suddenly my throat felt painful and burning!! I told Dr and assistant. They just gave me small water bottle but I couldn't rinse it out right away. They said drink it. I started tear my eyes and coughing a lot, then finally assistant put vacuum nozzle to my mouth but only once. Then, I went to rinse it off at outside from office bathroom. After that, I started suddenly running water from nose and pressure sore my face and cheek. Root canal area is uncomfortable pain. I went to root canal so I understand that. But I didn't think my cheek area sore and sinus pressure sore and running water coming. It's suddenly running when I look down and I can't control myself. When I had counseling time, Dr told me to I had to go there office at twice. Root canal procedure and post op. But after this happened Dr said I don't need to back his office, just go back to my general dentist for post op. I felt Dr thrown out his responsibility to patients. I thought Dr and his assistant chair side manners are problems also. They talked about other Dr and there assistant rumors, laughs and used not good kind words during my procedure time. I was wake up, opened eyes with sunglasses. I think Dr's skills and character is maybe different, but I didn't want to hear about this kind story and not good words during my procedure. And I thought and I felt Dr pay attention to my procedure!? That's why anesthesia needle through to my cheek, sinuses area !? Anyway I don't back to this office again. I don't want to this happening to my cheek throat again and I feel uncomfortable at this office. I had pressure pain inside my face and tear left eyes, running water comes from nose about 1 month. Just one thing, Front lady, Amanda is very nice and kindly help for rescheduling and front desk work. Thank you Amanda. read more

Root canal procedure isn't something I was thrilled to have, but I have to say Dr Yuen & his staff were wonderful. I came to the office with a referral from my dentist, since I had an abscess and infection. He explained everything to me and asked if I had questions. He went in cleaned the area and was super gentle. I needed to come back a second time and his staff were able to fit me in and he completed the procedure so I could leave for a long awaited trip. I found the whole ordeal way less stressful than I was expecting. read more

I really find Donna to be the most exceptional receptionist, she even called me back on Saturday. Do you know what it means to have someone in a doctor's office genuinely care about your welfare to the point where they go above and beyond that call of duty? It's priceless. I really would have a mental breakdown if these guys were not available simply because my teeth have been the bane of my existence and to have a capable, caring, and exceptionally skilled endodontist on my roster has ben life changing for me. Like, I know a lot of peeps hesitate to go to the dentist because they feel they are too far gone. Y'all I am one of you. Call him, or at least if your dentist says you need and Endodontist, do yourself a favor and check to see if Dr. Yuen is in your network. I still go even though he isn't in my network anymore. read more

Very impressed! Super clean and very friendly staff. Parking is plentiful and free. Book your appointment today read more

Elite Endodontics - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Unlike the other yelpers, my experience with Elite endodotics is rather NAGATIVE, and ended up leaving the office without the procedure. I picked Dr. Yuen as my endodontist based on all the reviews I researched on and a positive referral from my general dentist who I have been with for years. Today was my second time coming in to the office for a procedure, and the patient relation experience was shockingly the WORST. First of all, I was only told upon arrival at the office saying No visitors with me, rather than last time there was one visitor allowed. My husband drove me 30 mins from home to my appt, worried about it may not be safe for me to drive after the procedure. Dona? I believe that's her name, who I realized has been in touch with me, claimed:"Nobody told you one visitor or no visitor allowed, but no visitor today." She never get back to me about the estimated cost with my two insurance. Then she has been talking back to me and asked:"do you want your procedure today?" I feel like we should not drive all the way for nothing and want to give a chance and ask for talking to Dr. Yuen. She told me:"No you cannot." Then I asked again, she said:"Dr. Yuen is with a patient." And then when I asked again, she told me:"Dr. Yuen is not here." And she turned her back and walked into the room, leaving us hanging in the waiting room. At this point, I feel like I should leave and look for another endodontist. Every staff represent the wellness as a healthcare worker and the organization! read more

I swear to you Dr. Yuen is like the Hans Solo of Endodontics but with a cheerful attitude! He is the third specialist I've seen for the same tooth. Every 10 yrs the infection comes back because nobody could ever get to the bottom of the canal and clean it properly. That means by the time I saw Dr Yuen I had two root canals from two specialists and had paid for two porcelain caps with the original being destroyed during the second procedure. I wasn't very optimistic and was thinking of maybe pulling the tooth, add that to the fact I don't care for dentist in general and I walked in with a little rain cloud hanging over me. Dr Yuen gave his little speech on the best plan of action and I had to smile because he makes Endodontics sound very exciting! Now I dunno how he did it when the other guys couldn't but he actually managed to get to the bottom of the root and clear out the infection. I had started to lose bone but now it's growing back ( which I didn't know could happen) and he saved the crown! So I have the same crown from 10yrs ago even though I had a brand new procedure. He did a 6 month follow up to check everything and he's pleasant as pure sunshine. Seriously GO see him. He'll make sure you leave with a clean bill of oral health and a HIGH 5! He likes to give those out! read more

I absolutely hate dentists of any sort- well, until today! I always get super anxious and today, getting a root canal, that was no exception. Dr. Yuen and Amanda at the front desk made me feel right at home and comfortable. Everything is clean, precise, and done exceptionally. I am super impressed. I hope I don't ever need another root canal, but if I do- this is where I'm going! read more

The best experience at the dentist! Dr. Yuen, Mike, is the real deal. Old enough to be a pro, yet young enough to be up to date with new procedures and technology. All equipment is top of the line brand new. I have not seen a dental practice this stylish and professional. I had a botched root canal from another dentist and it was painful to say the least (I'll save you from the horrible details...) Dr. Yuen saved my tooth. I would recommend my family and closest friends for sure, because I am confident the Elite Endodontics. Its not just a name, its the truth! read more

Elite Endodontics - The best time at the dentist, no joke. - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

After my review, I received a phone call from Dr. Yuen and I can tell that he really cares about his patients and wants the best for them. He strives for patient satisfaction and cares about his patients so due to this, I am adding another star to my original review. He's a great endodontist and wants his patients to be happy with the treatment they receive. He deserves an extra star for taking the time to call his patients! read more

Elite endodontics is as easy as 1,2,3. Their friendly staff is easy to talk to, with good hours (every other Saturday), a lot of availability, comfortable waiting chairs, and easy location with ample parking lot (shared with longs). Dr. Yuen was very patient and thorough with his explanation in what's the next step and what is going on with my root canal. I would recommend him to anyone and with all the free drinks in the waiting room, its SUPER awesome! read more

Elite Endodontics - Waiting area has coffee and drinks! - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This review is long overdue. When our youngest child had a dental emergency and needed a route canal, I turned to yelp to find the best endodontic office on Oahu. Elite Endodontics lives up to their exceptional reputation. Why do I post so many 5 star reviews? The answer is easy, I always check yelp first so I expect a 5 star experience. I'm just never going to lower my expectations. Elite Endodontics surpassed all of my expectations. I'm not really sure what to add that hasn't already been written except choose the best and forget the rest!! Thank you for taking excellent care of my family. If you want virtually pain free, inexpensive (lowest price on Oahu) and the best, this office is for you. read more

Wow wow wow. I love Dr. Yorita and Dr. Yuen. The office is modern, clean and beautiful. I had the most excruciating pain in my life. I was literally crying like a baby it was so painful. I won't say what special accommodations they made because I don't want them to be unnecessarily bothered but let's just say it was out of this world and I am forever grateful. They are fully deserving of their ratings and they've made a lifelong client out of me. Hopefully I won't have to see them again though lol! I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and lighthearted interactions between staff members; if you are looking for something more uptight then look elsewhere. I happen to like being in happy workplace. read more

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Yorita and Bianca! They turned my horrible experience with a shitty dentist into a comforting procedure. They're front desk staff, Laura and Ruby, were awesome. Especially Laura who helped squeeze me into their schedule with an "emergency" root canal (again, thanks to the bonehead dentist I went to redo a filling with). The office is located above Long's on Waialae (3rd floor), on the far left (if you're facing Long's). Don't get lost like me :P The office itself is super clean. Decent sized lounge and beverage area (coffee, water and juice - nice touch). The BEST part is they play some pretty dope music that cover a broad spectrum. I LOVE it. In fact, I had to stop myself from bobbing my head a few times while Dr. Yorita was working on my problem tooth. If you're ever faced with needing Endodontic services, you should consider calling Elite Endodontics first. They are phenomenal! read more

Elite really came through. When my parents were visiting O'ahu for only a day on a stop from their world cruise my dad needed an emergency procedure. The dentist the ship set him up with couldn't do it and thankfully Elite was there for us when we needed them. The welcomed us in very last minute and gave us superb treatment and care. I highly recommend the pros at Elite for any dental issue! read more

I would like to start off by saying that the customer service at Elite Endodontics is amazing! I had an appointment scheduled but due to the amount of pain that I was in, they were able to squeeze me in earlier. I informed them that I would have to bring my infant with me and they helped me with accommodations. He was able to sit in the waiting room with a friend and they even allowed me to get up and check on him mid procedure. Dr. Yuen made me feel super comfortable especially with my fear of oral procedures. He was super quick and even talked to me throughout the procedure to get me to relax more. I would recommend him to anyone!! read more

{WARNING: LONG POST} I wanted a second opinion after my dentist stated I needed a root canal. I've been at this dentist for almost 3 years - cleanings every 6 months and I couldn't believe it. How did it get this bad and how was it never noticed? No one wants to hear you that you need a root canal, my stomach literally sank. I came to yelp and found Elite Endodontics, I saw another person went to the same dental office as me and came here for her root canal and gave positive reviews, so it was a no brainer. I called and Laura was able to schedule me in last min which was awesome, she also emailed me all the forms so I could fill it out before arriving. 3/15/2017) I really loved how modern everything was. I checked in and was given an iPad to review the consent forms - like what?! No more flimsy paper, clipboards, and digging around for a pen. They even had a mini fridge in the waiting room for their clients! We do the X-rays and its confirmed I needed the root canal, but Dr. Yuen literally broke the ice and it wasn't awkward or scary and I actually couldn't wait to get it done. I even "won" best reaction when asked if I was expecting lol. I scheduled it the next week (3/22/17) Alright, it's root canal day! As soon as I parked I was ready to call and cancel because I was so nervous. I was scheduled for 12:45 and the procedure didn't start till 2:00, however, that didn't bother me since it gave me more time to get my nerves in check. Am I the only one who freaks out at dental offices and hospitals? I had to go to the bathroom so much, but the front desk was understanding when I kept grabbing the key lol. They were nice enough to tell me a few times that they were running late. OKAY.. now I finally go in and i'm still waiting, nerves are even higher because i'm officially in the chair and I can hear all the drilling and what not in the next room. The only thing keeping me sane was the updated music so I'm sitting there humming. Then it's time to get numbed up - we talked a lot about "Michael Jackson" and tacos that day lol. The procedure only took 40 mins and I felt absolutely nothing, Dr. Yuen was gentle (no tugging,pulling,pressure) and his assistant (I didn't catch her name) was awesome. I was also given a block to bite down on so my jaw wouldn't get sore keeping it open myself. Surprisingly... I had to keep myself from falling asleep. They even said my root canal was so straight forward that I could come back anytime. Hopefully I don't need anymore anytime soon, but if I do I know where to go. Thanks Dr. Yuen & staff! (3/23/17) It's been a day after the procedure and I was told the area might be a little sore or achy, and to be completely honest the anesthesia wore off 2 hours after. I was told to take Ibuprofen every 4-6 hours which I did/still doing. BUT I FEEL NOTHING - LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED!!! read more

I am so impressed with Elite Endodontics, especially Dr. Yuen. The waiting room is exceptionally clean and orderly with free drinks for patients. The receptionist is so friendly and helpful with her explanation of charges and all other questions asked of her. The assistants were so friendly and reassuring. All in the office were cheerful and helpful. Now for Dr. Yuen - He is gentle with injections and kept me informed of all he was doing. He made sure I understood what was going to happen and how it worked out after. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Yuen, even though my first thought was he should be in high school since he looked so young (later I noticed the sprouting of gray hairs). Seriously, I would recommend Dr. Yuen for anyone needing dental services for root canal work. I really felt comfortable with everyone in the office, especially Dr. Yuen. If I were to write anything negative, it would be the location of his office. Parking is nearly impossible at times, the elevator is slow but fairly easy to access and the building looks old and rundown, but Elite Endodontics is exceptionally clean and modern in appearance and equipment. Do I recommend Elite Endodontics to others? Of course I do, I can't say how confident and pleased I am with their service. They are the BEST. read more

Just had my very first root canal today! Dr. Yuen and Bianca did a TERRIFIC job. I felt no pain during or after. I was WOWED by their office. It is clean, modern and equipped with the latest technology (digital xrays, Mac screens, and a bunch of other seemingly brand new stuff that I can't name-they even have there own CT scanner!). The office will email you the "check in" paperwork ahead of time, or you fill it out on their iPad when you arrive. They play cool music in the office too. During the root canal, they frequently asked how I was doing, and explained what they were doing. Dr. Yuen worked quickly and efficiently. Wish I could see him instead of my regular dentist! My insurance covered most of it, and it only cost me $170! I was expecting it to be way more. The office staff was super friendly, and offered everone water, fruit juice or Keurig coffee. The only down side I can think of, and it's out of their control: the parking sucked. You have to compete with Long's customers, as well as other offices for a space. If you need a root canal and you live on Oahu, go see Dr. Yuen. You won't be disappointed. read more

Dr. Yuen and Bianca were very nice and made me feel really relaxed despite the pain I was experiencing before I arrived. Dr. Yuen did an excellent job of explaining my problem and treatment options. Bianca explained the cost and administrative stuff clearly and efficiently. The office is very nice and smartly decorated with coffee and cold drinks in the waiting area. I highly recommend. read more

Everybody hates going to the dentist for any reason but please don't let that stop you from taking care of your health! I arrived to Elite Endodontics without fear up until I sat in the chair. My little anxiety and fear came to a quick end thanks to Dr. Yuen and his team! They are truly the best team I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! I felt 110% comfortable. They allowed me to listen to a podcast during my visit to help distract me. They provided refreshments and made everything as a whole very pleasant. Like I said before, my visit at Elite Endodontics was the best experience at a dental facility that I've ever had in my life. read more

Great service from beginning to end. I needed to find a specialist for a root canal that my regular dentist could not do. I am so glad that I found Elite Endodontics to do the procedure. Dr. Yuen and EVERYONE that worked in the office was very helpful and friendly. I loved that the office was technologically up to date with Macs and iPads. I filled out all of my 'paper' work online at home, so all I needed to do when I checked in was give some signatures. I also had to bring my family with me, which is always stressful for me because I didn't want them to be too loud, but the office was also equipped with mounted iPads for them to play games on. With dental/teeth apps of course. And the TV was also controlled so that it showed kid friendly shows. I hardly even heard them! My root canal was completely bearable. Dr. Yuen worked efficiently and checked in on me periodically to make sure I was doing alright. I unfortunately have had root canals in the past, and this by far was the most 'pleasant' one that I had to go through. Dr. Yuen also did a follow up call a couple of days after my procedure to see how I was healing. That was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Elite Endodontics! read more

******* 10* ******** Forget 5*, Yelp needs to upgrade their rankings. I'm 60, been to 100 dentists, had many root canals and never ever have I had less pain, such a pro Dr (Yuen is just a kid at 32) and had such amazing use of the dreaded drill! The guy is a whip and uses all the latest tricks to make us comfortable and without ANY pain at all. Now I went twice so it was no fluke. Dr Yuen rox but so does the entire staff starting w Laura at front desk, Johnny and Ms. Bianca as his assistants. You don't want the old guard doing your teeth anymore, these people represent root canal 2.0 and I am ALL IN. Remember: these "millennial" doctors propogate the cutting edge in dentistry. Go for it. You too will be amazed.... read more

A little late on the post but... I'd say excellent dentist! Knowledgeable at what he does and ensures the safety and security of his clients. Once I found out that I needed a root canal, I was highly recommended to go to Dr. Yuen at Elite Endodontics. I was scared at first since I've never had a root canal before but he assured me that everything was going to be fine. Personally, I do not like needles, but in order to not feel anything during the procedure, I needed one. That was probably the only pain I felt during the procedure, which was less than an hour. :) As you step inside the office, you'll notice that everything is white and clean! They even offer free coffee, juice and water for anyone who is waiting. Plus, you get to enjoy the free WiFi. :) I'd say the only prob is that the location throws you off a bit. It's located in the same building as longs drugs and times supermarket. The building is pretty run down and looks like it's going to collapse. They probably just need to do a little renovation. On the other hand, parking is free, so I'm not complaining. Haha. All in all, Elite Endodontics has a professional and productive team that really looks after their patients. I would highly recommended coming for and procedures, but make sure you have dental insurance because it is a bit pricy. read more

Nobody likes root canals, BUT if you need one.. come to Elite Endodontics. Although dentists can do it... Why not go to someone who specializes in it? I get anxiety the moment I step into the dentist office, but the cleanliness and decor of this office makes me feel more relaxed. Dr. Yuen and his staff are very friendly. I love how they open Saturdays so I don't have to take off work! Most importantly the root canal procedure went well and Dr. Yuen kept me informed the whole time what he was doing. My husband loves coming with me because he can make himself coffee/tea and many options of juices from the mini fridge while he waits for me. :) Great experience overall. read more

Dr Yuen and his team are awesome in what they do and here's why. My root canal was the best experience I've had. Dr Yuen took his time and making sure the numbing process was little to no pain. I only felt a pinch!! The whole time the atmosphere was very calm, loved the music and the conversation that I have had amongst the staff. So friendly and quick. This is how a root canal experience should be. Elite Endodontics !!! read more

Many individuals and business may claim to be "elite" however they often fall short. This was not the case at Elite Endodontics. Dr. Yuen and his staff live up to their name and exceeded my expectations. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by friendly and upbeat staff. The waiting area is kinda posh with comfortable leather seating and even a beverage bar. Dr. Yuen's equipment appears to be state of the art. Gotta love any doc who uses Macs. If I could use Dr. Yuen for all my dental needs I would! read more

Going to the dentist to get a root canal is not how most people want to spend their Tuesday afternoon off from work but if you happen to find yourself in this predicament, please find yourself going to Elite Endodontics. You won't be disappointed that you had to waste your day off having to take care of something that could have been prevented! Dr. Yuen may be young, handsome and a bit of a talker but don't let that intimidate or irritate you. His hands are gentle and you feel no pain even with that big silver syringe he uses to numb you before the procedure. His hands aren't heavy either and you barely feel any of the pressure from the drilling and poking. His personality and attitude definitely matches his level of work as he is patient, thorough, and confident but not arrogant. Dr. Yuen's staff is just as amazing as he is. The receptionist called me before my appointment and gave me a precise estimate of what I would be paying out of pocket and she even gave me the exact time frame I would be spending at their office for my root canal. She quoted me an hour and a half and that is exactly how long I was there for, no more no less! The two dental assistants worked well with Dr. Yuen and they made for a well-oiled machine that helped the procedure go as smoothly as possible. When it was over, I actually was a little sad because it was the best dentist appointment I've been to. I jokingly told the dental assistant that I might just continue to have bad teeth on purpose just so I could come back and see them. Ha ha. I'm not sure of all the insurance they may accept but I know they accept Cigna. I highly recommend Dr. Yuen for your dental needs. You're just gonna have to get a cavity and find out! read more

I purposely waited to write my review for Dr. Yuen at Elite Endodontics. I was experiencing a dull pain near my front tooth for over six months and put off getting it checked out due to fear and finances. Looking back, I am more than pleased with Dr. Yuen, his office, assistants and every employee. Dr. Yuen's knowledge, surgical skill and friendly personality contributed to a pleasant experience for the apicoectomy needed to relieve the condition with my tooth infection. Also, I am impressed with everyone working there and that they went above and beyond to accommodate me and make my Endodontics visit rewarding--thanks to you all! read more

I just got finished with a root canal at elite and was really stoked with how professional they were. Dr Yuen was amazing. It is great to know there's skilled dentists on Oahu thanks again you guys read more

Elite Endodontics - Root canal before - Endodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dr. Yuen is THE MAN!!!! I was so worried about having to get ANOTHER root canal. The last one I had with my former dentist was an absolutly horrifying 3 hour ordeal. I was expecting this experience to be the same. Wow...I was so WROOONG! Dr. Yuen and his staff were so AMAZING, I actually stated dozing off while he was doing the procedure! The "Zero-gravity chair" certainly helped, it was sooo comfortable! It sounds weird to say that my root canal was an awesome experience, BUT IT WAS! Mahalo Dr.Yuen, I will be recommending you to everybody and their brother!!!! read more

I have mixed feelings about Elite Endodontics. Dr. Yorita was nice and explained things thoroughly, BUT she chatted with her assistant the entire time she was doing my root canal! It was small talk about personal matters, which made me feel non-existent, especially because I could still feel some pain and would have appreciated a bit more attention to what I was experiencing. Her assistant was engaged in their conversation and not me, and spoke with a self-important tone. The other doctor was loud as well, taking lunch orders from everyone and shouting good-byes as he left. I was disappointed with the professionalism. If you don't mind all of this while your root canal is going on, I would still recommend them. The office staff is great and the parking is convenient. I'm undecided about going back if I need another procedure. read more
