Dr. Kitajima and all the staff in his office have been invariably efficient in providing needed services (cleaning, exams, replacing one old crown) and polite and helpful in responding to my questions. My 15-year-old son is now another happy patient there, too. read more

We are relatively new to the area and our next door neighbor highly recommended the office. Our neighbor has been a dental professional for many years and of all the offices she's worked in, this was her favorite. My first visit was yesterday and now I can see what she meant! The office is very professional in every aspect but has a family vibe that I really connected with. When I met the receptionist, Alison, it was more like she was inviting me into her home, than a dental office. My hygienist, Katie, was warm and welcoming as well and spent a generous amount of time making sure my teeth were clean and in good shape, before turning me over to Dr. Nick for a complete exam. So I will join the chorus of accolades about this office, and definitely plan to be a regular patient. Erik L. | Danville read more

I broke a tooth recently and immediately called the dental office. They set up and emergency appointment to understand the extend of the problem. This was done the next day. They took X-rays of the broken tooth. The dentist's examination confirmed that the tooth had broken into several pieces. And he revealed that it was a "temporary" repair of 10 years ago. His recommendation was to replace it with an implant or simply remove it. I discussion further with the Dr. Kitajima about the previously "domed" repair and asked him to to do the temporary repair again. Because it is deemed a temporary repair, there would be no warranty that it would hold up for a long, extended service life. I was agreeable to that. I now have an appointment to do the temporary repair, again. read more

I was with Kitajimas for more than 45 years since I moved to Danville. I am 85 now. All of my teeth still in my mouth except my four wisdom teeth. I am happy with this result. read more

Another wonderful visit! Melissa and Dr. Nick are so great! They are so friendly with kids and so knowledgeable. My kids are now 8 and 12. They feel very comfortable with Melissa when she is cleaning their teeth. After the routine cleaning, Dr. Nick went over all the details of the visit. Dr. Nick also does such great job for my husband and me. We really appreciate the great care they gave us! Also, parking was very easy! read more

This is a family dentistry practice that is highly recommended in the Danville area. Their hygienists are very professional! Mary Ann Gipson RDA read more

My husband was the one who found this place for our family when we moved to Danville 5 years ago. They were in our insurance network and reasonable price. We have been very happy and satisfied with the service of this family dentistry. I love how the ladies in the front, Stacey & Allison, know our names and treat us like we are family. Melissa, Denise & Amy are AWESOME! Everyone here is super friendly. Dr. Nick is knowledgeable, and thorough. He's no mess, no fuss, get r' done! Straight to the point. My husband and I really like that about him. He always gives us options and his recommendations. Also, answered all our questions. I don't know how Dr. Nick does it but I never felt the needle when he had to numb my mouth. He's will always tell you what he's doing (maybe it's to tell Denise too, ) before performing each step for whatever work he has to do on your teeth. The office is clean, small & cozy but I love that. There's 3 private rooms and 6 seats in the waiting area. In the 5 years we've been there, we waited about 25 minutes past our appointment time twice....and there was 4 of us. Totally understandable and they will let you know if doctor is running late or behind. Other than that, they're usually pretty good and getting you in at your appointment time and out in a reasonable time. There's plenty of parking. I've had 4 dentists from the different places we lived at and they were all good but I have never been so impressed until now. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Kitajima's office for making our experiences here a great one! We highly recommend this family dentistry! read more

My experience at this dental office has been superb. The office staff is on top of things. Amy was the dental tech who cleaned my teeth and she was thorough paying careful and gentle attention to my teeth. She is kind and patient. Next Dr. Nick, an expert, professional dentist, examined my teeth and I was happy to hear that I was good to go for another 6 months. Costs are more than reasonable for the excellent dental care received. Highly recommended. read more

The staff is very friendly and my Dental Hygienist, Kate is very thorough and friendly. The dentist I went to before, the dental hygienist lasted 1-2 years max, at Kitajima DDS, they are all there long term. read more

If you are looking for a new dentist consider trying this practice. They are very accommodating when it comes to making appointments, the staff is so very friendly and welcoming. I have never waited longer that, maybe, 5 minutes to be taken in. The office is very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this practice. read more

I have been going to Dr. Kitajima For at least 20 years now. His son has recently stepped into the practice as well and He is wonderful too. It's pretty awesome to see a father and his son working side-by-side.Over the last 10 years I have taken my daughter to them for orthodontics and talk about a fantastic beautiful result. The girls upfront are awesome one of which happens to be you the elder Kitajimas wife And she is very lovely. Stacey has also worked the front desk consistently for at least the last 15 years and she is always so kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for general dentistry or orthodonture work. read more

I've been going to Dr. Kitajima's for years. I couldn't believe the difference in treatment. In the past, when I had to get a shot for a cavity, the process was SOOOOOOO PAINFUL. I literally cried. Seriously, it was that painful. The first time I got a shot from Dr. Henry, I didn't fell a thing. I questioned Dr. Henry about the whole process and he simply smiled. He was very aware of how other doctors applied the shots and Dr. Henry had developed a technique which he has been teaching at various dental schools for years. Dr. Nick came on a few years ago and he recently removed a crack tooth. Let's just say the son learned the technique from his dad very well, and the tooth extraction was painless. Dr. Henry's daughter, Melissa, is my hygienist and has been cleaning my teeth for years. And the person running the office is Dr. Henry's wife, Allison. EVERYONE, the aforementioned personnel, other hygienist and staff are all professional, courteous and friendly, making going to the dentist enjoyable. Going to the dentist enjoyable? read more

We have been to this office as new patients, and had treatments with them. They are the best. We really miss them, since we moved to Montana. Wish you were up here in Montana. read more

I have been going here since I was a kid and their level of friendliness mixed with professionalism is what keeps me making the drive all the way from Emeryville. The whole Kitajima Family is the reason I get so many compliments on my white smile and I have never had a cavity....*hint hint* They can spot bad habits early, tackle early warning signs head on and Melissa is really fun to talk to. 10 out of 10! read more

Dr. Nicholas Kitajima is such a great dentist. Everyone that works there is amazing. Highly recommend.

Dr. Kitajima jr. did an excellent job reattaching my gold inlay, kept me informed at all times, he wasn't rushing thru the process, took his time and was thorough to make sure everything was 100%, Denisse was excellent as well, she is really sweet and knowledgeable, the people at the front desk were polite and helpful, overall a truly nice experience! read more

Incredibly, I chipped a tooth/filling on the other side of my mouth right after the repair was done on my first visit! And, of course, it was during the weekend. I left a message on their Voicemail and I got a call from Allison after they opened on Monday and I now have an appointment at 1:00 PM tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. I'm a happy camper! Jim read more

Been coming here for years but I wish I started sooner. Didn't know it was possible to get near painless Novocain injections till I started seeing Dr. Kitajima. And the staff is great too! read more

Just had my inlay done by Dr Nick! So happy for the smooth and easy process. No post op problems and super happy with my bite never changing! read more

I've been seeing Dr Nicholas for about two years. He gave me my smile back. In all of my sixty plus years, he my absolute favorite dentist. I use to be scared of the numbing shots. He has a technique that I have never experienced by any dental office before. His technique creates no pain. Unbelievably true. I know he also teaches, so I'm sure that he is passing on this wonderful technique. I know his schedule is usually full, so count your blessings if you're lucky enough to be his patient. I do. The entire crew are beautiful professional people. Allison worked and fought hard with my insurance company, who had my previous dentists give up, and got what I was entitled to. Previously, I had to fight for that myself. She went above and beyond. Everybody is great. I had major time involved over there. I got to know everyone. I opened a yelp account just because of my experience there. Thank you, Dr Nicholas, Allison, Stacey, Denise, Melissa, and everyone who helped give me my smile back. You. Are. The. Best! read more

My husband and I have both been seeing Dr. Kitajima since we moved to the area about 7 years ago. He has an easy bedside manner, very thorough in his work and very professional. I use to hate going to the dentist. Not any more! And Allison and Stacey at the front desk are so fun to chat with and make you feel at ease. I would recommend Dr. Kitajima to anyone. read more

Dr K has been our dentist for 20 years. He is excellent as are the front desk. Allison and Stacy, plus fabulous hygienists! We do not go to Dr Nick in the same office, so can not speak to his work. read more

Outstanding dentistry! Courteous, professional and on time! I feel relaxed despite what is happening inside my mouth. Dr Henry has a great attitude. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Kitajima has been my dentist for 7 years. He and his wife Allison runs great office. I have never had a bad experience with them. He only provides the care you really need. He doesn't push high value extras. Just a good honest mom and pop dentist with the customers care and well fair in mind. By the way, he is a family dentist, not an oral surgery as yelp has labeled him. read more

Dr. Kitajima has been my dentist for practically my entire life. I believe I started going to him when I was about 6 or 7. He was also my orthodontist in middle school. People always wonder why I enjoy going to the dentist so much, but it is because I have never had a negative experience in my 20+ years of going to Dr. Kitajima. I now drive over an hour to come see him, as he is the only person that I trust. His son Dr. Nick has also started practicing there. It is an all-around honest (and painless) office. I am always impressed that Allison and Ruth remember details about my life even if it has been a year since they last saw me. read more

I recently took my 6 yr old daugther to see the Jr Dr Kitajima for a cleaning and Xrays. His hygienist was awesome -- very kid savvy! She was even able to make the horrible process of putting in the bitewings fun (...if you can imagine that!). The Dr was kind and made my daughter feel very comfortable, which as any parent knows, is key. Very nice office and very nice staff. This experience and other Yelp reviews are making me think of switching from my current dentist to Dr Kitajima! read more

I have been taken care of by Henry Kitajima for 30 years. My experience with making appointments and punctuality has been A+. My experience with Dr Kitajima's dental work has been A+. Pain free, precise, efficient work. He is excellent about explaining what he is doing and his level of overall care is the best I can imagine. I just had two implants put in this week and the experience was at a level of expertise and refinement that was literally perfect in every way, given someone was drilling two holes in my head. I feel so lucky to have access to this kind of care. My family is moving out of the area and I will be driving back to Danville for my dental care! read more

Everyone in this office is so professional my Allison did all the paperwork for my insurance company she's very attentive and makes out perfect letters read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Kitajima for 24 years. He and his staff are excellent examples of what a great dental office should be like. Dr. Kitajima is an excellent dentist. When he gives an injection you don't even feel it. The office staff is always friendly and warm. Dr. Kitajima's son Dr. Nick is now also practicing dentistry and is following in some very excellent footsteps. Their pricing is always fair and I have never been disappointed in the service that they provide. I cannot say enough good about this practice. Try them! read more

I've had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Henry since 1988. Dr. Nicholas is his son and Mrs. K holds down the office. Their hygienists are competent and thorough. Ask for Amy :) The entire staff is personable, warm and fair. I've been treated like family since Day 1. Moving away for work... I missed the Kitajima's. Went straight back after leaving the military and returning to the area. Only one issue in 27 years... when a filling come out. They did a new one immediately, and didn't charge me since it was an adhesive issue. Excellent, excellent, excellent. Give them a call. read more

Dr. Henry Kitajima is the best dentist I've ever had. He is meticulous and detail oriented. When he does procedures on me, he makes sure that I'm comfortable at all times and that all issues are addressed. I've had him for the last 10 years and never had a bad experience. At one point, I was so busy that I had to reschedule 3 times, but that was handled with grace without any complaints. Thanks, Dr. K and Alison! read more

My latest dentist, Dr Nicholas Kitajima of Danville, saw the white area (some of it rough) on my lower gums under my partial. He put the partial back in place and found that when he pushed it (first on one side, then on the other) it rocked - back and forth. He told me that I could replace the partial ($1100 or so) or he could try to reline it; first with a temporary solution, then with a permanent, if it worked (under $300, I think. I forgot and haven't gotten the bill). Then the white should go away. It's been a month or so and the white is almost gone. The funny thing is, over 15 or 20 years, probably from the beginning, the white area has spread. Six dentists that I can remember have commented on it, all worrying that it was precancerous. One sent me for a $300 biopsy (not covered by insurance, and it came back clear). Only one dentist, before Dr. Kitajima told me it was callous build up. And only Dr. Kitajima suggested this solution. By the way, Dr Kitajima is the youngest dentist I've ever had. He's a partner with his Dad, Henry, and he also teaches at a dental college, whose name I don't recall. I travel 4 hours, 1 way, to go to him. read more

Dentistry is an art and a craft that requires talent and repetition - like playing piano or making fine furniture. Who do you want working on your teeth - an artist or a merely a degree-holder? Henry is an artist. read more

My last appointment with the Kitajima office just reminded me of how fortunate and grateful I am to have found this office 24 years ago. Their honesty and integrity, especially today is so important. The senior Kitajima, with all his experience, has passed along his knowledge to Dr. Nicholas. Excellent work and attention to detail is just #l. read more

DISAPPOINTED, BAD EXPERIENCE with Dr. Henry Kitajima!!! I took my 7 year old granddaughter for a cleaning and x-rays. Dr. Kitajima told me she had 2 cavities and needed 3 sealants. I took her back for the fillings and sealants. He did 1 sealant and took off his gloves annoyed and said "we're all done" because she was scared and put her hand near her mouth in fear. He didn't try to work with her or explain anything to her. He told me he couldn't treat her and she needed to go to a different dentist and be sedated. She was anxious but was still lying in his chair with her mouth open. He made some rude comments and was impatient with his hygienist. The front office staff said they would send her records to the dentist I chose to do the work. I made an appt. a week later at 8AM with another dentist and when I arrived the records from Dr. Kitajima's had not been received. We called Dr. Kitajma's office and they were closed that day until 1PM. The new dentist had to take more x-rays and determined there were no cavities and the sealants needed to wait 6 months until the teeth fully erupted. SEDATED??? I would not recommend this dentist. He wanted to do work on a patient that wasn't necessary and the front office staff did not send the records as they said they would. The 1 sealant that was done only partially covered the tooth as it is not fully erupted. 1 star is too good of a rating for this dentist. I'll give the hygienist, Amy credit as she was great. She did the cleaning and x-rays and it was a pleasant experience for my granddaughter. It was only when Dr. Kitajima was either having a bad day or is impatient with children that he abruptly ended the appt. The fact that fillings and sealants were NOT necessary was DISAPPOINTING!!!! BAD EXPERIENCE!!!!! read more
