im pretty sure i'll always dread going to the dentist; and i only end up going because my husband confirms our appointments and tells me i'll feel better after i go. every time i go to dr. uwaine im treated with care and it's snot as horrible as i think it'll be. dr. erin uwaine's office is the best dentist i've ever been to and i'll never go any other place for my teeth. read more

Best staff and the best service! I always have received quality patient care. Dr Erin is a wealth of knowledge and a true professional! Highly recommended! read more

Professional and kind Dr. Uwaine is the best dentist I have been too. The office is very clean and the staff are wonderful.

I found Dr. Uwaine through Yelp and I took a chance because she's closed to my office. I am glad, I did. Her staff are so friendly and so is she. Shyla is a good hygienist and has good bedside manners. Dr. Uwaine is also great because she is always trying to make sure you are comfortable. I was scared when I had to change my fillings from silver to composite, because I have always thought composite were very expensive, also because I'd rather have composite because they look more natural, to my surprise, my insurance covered and my OOP was not bad. I will be a permanent patient going forward. read more

Been going to Dr. Uwaine for years! You can tell she really cares for her patients. She's gentle, knowledgeable and answers any questions or concerns you have. The staff is great and always welcoming every time I visit! They always make sure that you are comfortable during your visit. Also helpful that they call to remind you of your appointment. read more

I have been going to Dr. Uwaine for several years now and she did a few fillings and a crown on me. She was very gentle and pain free! She always takes the time to explain things to me and answer all my questions. She is caring and I can tell she really enjoys what she does. Her staff is so friendly and very helpful. read more

Dr. Uwaine and her staff were stellar as always during my recent visit to Kakaako Dental Care, and I highly recommend them to anyone needing dental work or just going for a routine visit. I've moved a lot and been to a lot of different dentists, and I can say that not all dental offices are the same. It's refreshing to know that in a world where so many businesses put the bottom line above all, there are still practices like this that put the patient first. Dr. Uwaine has never tried to up-sell me, and her recommendations have always been based on MY needs, not the most costly procedure. If you're looking for a dentist that truly cares more about your teeth than your wallet, go see Dr. Uwaine. Also, her staff is very friendly and have always made me feel welcome. Great work and great service! read more

I had my first visit with Dr. Uwaine yesterday. I have to say I was so impressed with her and the entire staff. From my first call to schedule a new patient visit all the way to leaving/finishing my appointment. Everyone is so friendly. The office is clean. I did have to wait to be be seen, but it was for good reason. And even though the patient before me put Dr. Uwaine behind schedule, she did not rush through me to get back on schedule. Thank you for pleasant dental visit! read more

Dr. Uwaine and her staff are exceptional. I recently transferred to her office and have had nothing but a positive experience. Upon arriving I was greeted kindly by the administrative assistant. The paperwork was clear and concise and while I was filling it out she made a copy of my ID and Insurance card and then came out to hand it to me instead of calling me back up. (Little niceties like that mean a lot to me as I believe it shows how much they care about customer service). I was welcomed to the back by one of the dental assistants and shown to my room and chair. Upon sitting, they fired up the iPad that is affixed to the light structure so I could be entertained throughout the appointment. We started off with x-rays as they needed a baseline with me being a new patient. The assistant was very precise with the mouth pieces as not to hit my gums and took the x-rays quickly and proficiently. Dr. Uwaine then came in for the check up and cleaning and was very professional and comforting in her introduction as well as explanations of what she was doing as she proceeded in the appointment. Dr. Uwaine was gentle and expedient in the cleaning and would periodically check on me to make sure I was comfortable and everything was ok. Overall, the entire appointment was impressive. I have been to many other dentist offices that do not put the effort or focus into their craft that the office of Dr. Uwaine and her staff showed. I am completely satisfied with my choice of Dentist and will be a repeat customer for the foreseeable future. read more

Best dentist in a 2,500 mile radius! Staff is super friendly and sweet. Plus they play the best music in the office

Just had first visit, and it was great! Everyone really friendly, professional and the hygienist who cleaned my teeth (Shyla) was fantastic

Best. Dentist. Ever. I've always had the absolute WORSE experiences with dentists, from a traumatizing sadist named Dr. Ow (spelled Au, but Ow was more like it) to complete ripoffs on Kapiolani Blvd (the one with the nice office, large panel windows, and smiley fake model pics). Lots of trauma, a hospital stay and money hungry novices that hand you a bill halfway through a root canal, let's say I've had zero love for wanting to get tortured physically or financially. Enter a great referral from Dr. Scott at Randall Morita's office, and I get to meet the all-star team of dental care, Dr. Erin Uwaine and her fantastic staff. From having an iPad to watch movies while getting work done to help get your mind off of the "sounds" of work being done; to giving excellent care and mini-breaks for those that are claustrophobic and have had less than stellar past experiences; to having amazing tech which results in less pain, less discomfort and hyper-efficient procedures-Dr. Erin Uwaine is the *best* dentist and perfect for those that have may have an absolute fear (terror in my case) of dental practitioners. Mahalo Dr. Erin! read more

Dr. Uwaine is amazing. From the kindness of the receptionist Sitka, to the personalized and empathetic care of Dr. Uwaine, this place is the best. It's rare to be able to say I actually look forward to coming to the dentist! read more

I been through 4 different Dentist and Dr.s and so far haven't met anyone who so excited to work with their patients until I got introduced to Dr. Erin Uwaine, she has always answered all my questions about my teeth. I love the vibe from when I walk in, to the help that Madel gives and overall the knowledge that Dr. Uwaine shares to keep a healthy Smile! I will be sharing to my friends and 'Ohana where to go for their Dentis! Mahalo Dr. Uwaine and Madel for keeping my teeth healthy. read more

Aloha Dr Uwaine and staff, I just wanted to say Thank You again! The first time you fixed my old deteriorating root canal and this time a cracked tooth. I will recommend y'all to everyone that will listen. Mahalo & God Bless! read more

Dr. Uwaine came at the recommendation of a mutual friend who also happens to be a dentist when I was shopping around for a new one. I love Dr. Uwaine's cheerful personality and staff is very friendly and helpful. When Dr. Uwaine discovered a cavity that needed to be addressed, I was able to schedule an appointment for a filling soon after. I"m not at all a fan of dentistry and the needles, the drills and the all-around no-fun treatments. But with Dr. Uwaine's recommendations for treatment, she was able to keep me calm (I may have freaked a bit at the sight of a syringe) and get my filling done. I have already scheduled my next appointment with Dr. Uwaine! read more

Dr Uwaine and are staff are stellar! I hate going to the dentist but I must say this was a very pleasant experience. I have gone to dentists in the past that make stuff up to bill higher and I felt 100% confident that this place is the real deal and care about each and every patient. I was new to the area and I'm so glad I found Dr. Uwaine! read more

Amazing team working here! Everyone from the front of the house to the back made my procedure easy and painless! I am deathly afraid of anything dental but Erin made me realize how important and how easy it is to get work done comfortably and efficiently! Her office will definitely be my primary dental care office for the foreseeable future! Thanks again! read more

Scenario: 10 months in Honolulu, small filling that was replaced in Dec. 2021 by long-term dentist felt funny. Needed a cleaning and a check of filling. Home dentist said he put it back on without drilling, but should be watched in case it fell off. I didn't even feel it was gone it is so small. Most everything about the Uwaine practice is well run. I regret that when I called to ask about an appointment and to say I'd decline x-rays, the receptionist wanted to refer me to indigent care clinic. My understanding was , no x-ray, no cleaning. Scared and traveling and worried about new filling. I have great teeth, regular cleanings etc. I ended up getting the x-rays at Uwaine practice and a $300+ bill. Filling still in place. New experience was cleaning by water, during severe drought conditions on Oahu. Auwe. I would have liked the opportunity to talk to the dentist first before x-ray. Reading Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Natural Causes" which mentions the over-use of x-rays, especially by dentists. I have to fend off x-rays repeatedly at my home practice. What I learned: one may be worried. take time and advocate for yourself. Try to decline x-rays, or if you are going to be away and in need of a cleaning, figure out how to get your dentist to share most recent x-rays. Both Uwaine and home dentist said hard to share dental x-rays in terms of image quality. I wished I'd looked into this more as part of trip planning and booking in at this dentist for cleaning. The lost filling did crop up at last minute before departure, during regular cleaning, that's my excuse, but ANY IONIZING RADIATION of YOUR HEAD IS not a good idea. I consoled myself by hoping Uwaine practice x-ray equipment is new and well-maintained (look in PubMed, dental office x-ray equipment sometimes is NOT--another reason to to work with your dentist to minimize x-trays, as I recall from another attempt to fend off x-rays with home dental hygienist), and since I minimize x-rays I hoped I could afford this radiation dose. Read Ehrenreich's book! I do understand dentists/their staffs are also faced with people who don't regularly go to the dentist, some of them wrote reviews of Uwaine practice. What I am asking for is evidence that x-rays EVERY cleaning--which hygienists seem to want to do-- is safe and a best practice. My review of dental literature from searches of PubMed dot gov --the premier biomedical database and according to Richard Smith, former editor of British Medical Journal, PubMed is "One of America's two greatest gifts to the world" --is that fewer dental x-rays is better. read more

Our beloved Dr. Carl Chikasuye will be taking longer hikes, spending more time with family and friends and enjoying life to its utmost fullest! This is the sedge way to Dr. Erin taking over his practice and clientele. She is fresh faced and eager to to take on whatever she is given. She has great bedside manners and she makes you feel at ease (even when she's ready to fill a cavity)! She is the dentist for the next generation! read more

Erin Uwaine, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I highly recommend Dr. Uwaine! She was very easy to talk to was very gentle. She made me feel comfortable and not at all nervous while I was getting work done. Her office and staff were so friendly and caring. I will recommend her to all my friends and family. read more

Had my very first visit with Dr. Uwaine this past year through a recommendation from my cousin, Madel who is also part of Dr. Uwaine's friendly and amazing staff! Every dentist visits has past my expectations in a provider. I'm very pleased with the services I've received and a big plus is that it's in town near my job :) Dr. Uwaine is very friendly and knowledgeable in her area of expertise. She helped me get my first official night guard which is super durable and a great investment on my pearly whites. Now I don't have to purchase those flimsy, cheap night guards from Longs every 3 months! If you're a clencher like I am, I would highly suggest booking your appointment with Dr. Uwaine! Go check out Dr. Uwaine and her staff and they'll take good care of you and your teeth :) read more

Amazing dentist! Was able to schedule me in quickly. Excellent bedside manner, was very professional and friendly! Will be recommending her to all my family and friends :) read more

This was my wife and I's first time to Dr. Uwaine, which was at the recommendation of our sister in law. It is so hard finding a good dentist who does a great job and is not trying to empty my wallet. Dr. Uwaine and her staff are very friendly and professional and made us feel very comfortable during a not so fun appointment (who likes going to the dentist). I would highly recommend Dr. Uwaine if you are looking for a good dentist. Her office is conveniently located with free parking. read more

I heard of Dr. Uwaine from my cousin in law. I went to Dr. Uwaine to get a tooth removed, at first she recommended me to see a specialist because by tooth was difficult and I knew it'd be hard to remove. I was gonna go to the specialist but I didn't have dental insurance and it would've been more expensive. But Dr. Uwaine called me and said she could try to remove my tooth for me I was a little skeptical because my tooth was difficult, I ended up going to her anyways. When she pulled my tooth she was really gentle with it and made sure I was numb before she tried to pull it out and it came out easily. I highly recommend her! read more

I hadn't seen a dentist for about 10 years before I decided to give Dr. Uwaine a try. I was sure that my teeth were yellow and stained for the rest of my life, however, Dr. Uwaine did an awesome job cleaning them. She was quick but yet very thorough, and now my teeth not only look amazing but feel great. Dr. Uwaine is easy to talk to and shows concern for patient comfort throughout the visit. Additionally her staff is very helpful. One of the assistants, Mary, spent a lot of time calling back and forth between an oral surgeon's office and myself to help get me an appointment. I never sensed any impatience in her voice or frustration as I kept changing my mind on things. I would not hesitate to recommend a friend or family member to Dr. Uwaine. read more

I have been looking for a new dentist for several years by asking friends and family and also reading tons of reviews. If you are looking for a dentist or are unhappy with your current dentist, look no further. Dr Uwaine is a great dentist and fantastic person with a big heart. I have been seeing Dr Uwaine for a couple years and the first time I met her I felt like I knew her for 20 years, which is impossible because she looks like she is in her 20's. She makes you feel like family and has great steady hands with a gentle touch. She is very honest and trustworthy, never recommended me to do any unnecessary procedures. Her pricing is very good and has even squeezed me in because of my busy schedule. Hands down greatest medical professional of my life!! read more

Awesome dentist! Super personable! Went for a cleaning and my teeth never looked so shiny and felt so sparkly clean. Very convenient location for me right across from Fasi Muni Bldg & 801 South in the same bldg as TJs. read more

I came to Dr. Uwaine for a teeth cleaning and was really impressed by her friendly disposition coupled with her professionalism. It's a small practice and you feel like Dr. Uwaine and her assistants care about the patients. Highly recommended! read more

After neglecting my teeth for 25 years, it took a horrible toothache to finally get me back to see a dentist. After all those years, I did not have a dentist so I relied on recommendations from friends. Although Dr. Erin had just begun her practice, I heard nothing but good reviews and decided that I would call and make an appointment. Although I was just looking for immediate relief and a quick fix, I soon discovered that she was someone I didn't have to fear. (Forgot to mention that based upon childhood experiences, I hated dentists!) Dr. Erin not only took care of my immediate problem but her caring nature convinced me that at age 64 I deserved better. After more visits and consulting with her, here I am a year later at 65, excited that she made me believe that you're never too old to have a wonderful smile! She is truly a gem in her field and I am forever grateful to have found her! read more
