Needed emergency service done they did everything to accommodate me and did such an amazing job I'm so thankful to Dr Lewis and Michele for working with me on such short notice. read more

Had a dental emergency while on vacation and Dr. Gupta and Michelle were a lifesaver. I want to preface this is a very expensive trip to the dentist, but you get what you pay for. Tremendous service, they really care for their patients, and really are incredible dentists. If I lived in Maui I would no doubt use Dr. Gupta as my regular dentist. I highly recommend. read more

My wife Marla and I were on a Cruise, on our first meal I severely cracked a tooth. We made an emergency appointment with Maui Dental Group. Quite extensive work was done, 2 numbing shots, nerve drilled out and temporary crown put on. I could barely feel the work done, no pain and all is well! The dentist and assistant both were very kind, confident and very good in their profession! God Bless! Phil Porter read more

Highly recommend if emergency dental work needed. Used this practice on vacation. Came home and saw regular dentist- he agreed with their assessment and said work proceed looked good. Practice helpful to obtain paperwork for travel insurance- insurance covered all of the bill. Highly recommend! Hopefully no more dental emergencies in my future- but if I did would use again! read more

THIS COMPANY VIOLATED THE "COMPENSATED ACTIVITY" RULE FOR YELP REVIEWS : "Don't offer freebies, discounts, or payment in exchange for reviews--it will turn off savvy consumers and may also be illegal. For the same reason, you can't offer incentives for users to remove reviews. Yelp has a Consumer Alerts program that publishes a pop-up alert on business pages to let people know when we learn about this sort of activity." After I posted an extremely negative review last year, similar to another negative review that remains posted (6/4/2023), about being charged potentially approximately $4,000, with no warning, for an emergency visit on 8/31/2023 that consisted of taking 3 x-rays and filing down a chipped tooth, I was offered a PARTIAL refund of the $1687 I finally paid, in exchange for removing the negative review. When I didn't remove it immediately (I added the information about the refund), I was threatened with legal action until I deleted it completely (it was their action that was illegal!). After almost a year, I'm assuming they can no longer threaten me, and want to warn other unsuspecting people about these criminals. DO NOT USE THIS CLINIC - there are other emergency dentists on Maui. I hope Yelp follows up on their promise and publishes that alert on their page. read more

Travelers beware. They will absolute screw you in charges. First off, they make you pay a NON REFUNDABLE $495 deposit!!! This is so they can take your $495 either way when they tell you a 10 min service is going to be THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Seriously such a scam. It's robbery really. And the fact they don't accept dental insurance? JOKE. DO NOT GO HERE unless you are dying of pain. You will be broke by the time you're done. Wait till you fly home and get it taken care of by your normal dentist. Unless you want to be out at thousands of dollars. Btw the fees are not listed on the website. And regardless of appt time, $3600 to cement back on a veneer, which again wasn't even done correctly is absolute robbery. Even with emergency fees, $3600 to cement back on a veneer is insane!!! So patients beware, if a simple task such as cementing on a veneer costs $3600, imagine what other procedures will cost. The veneer was cemented on crooked to the point the retainer wouldn't fit and my regular dentist had to redo it. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! read more

I was on vacation and cracked my tooth. I needed urgent dental care. Dr Gupta agreed to see me on short notice. That in itself was comforting. But it didn't compare to actually meeting the doctor. It immediately became clear that she's a warm, caring person. It also became clear that she's a skilled dentist. After her clinical examination and review of my x-ray, we came up with a common sense plan that provided comfort to me and allowed me to continue enjoying my vacation. If I lived in Maui, there is no doubt that Dr Gupta would be my permanent dentist. read more

Craaazy expensive! $395 for a cleaning? I don't think so! I'm all for women-run businesses, but not if I am expected to pay ridiculous prices to support them. read more

our son broken 5 teeth in a boogie boarding mishap. Dr Gupta did a beautiful job of putting him at ease and repairing the damage. he looks and feels as good as new! read more

Dr.Goupta was great and professional. I had a bad toothache and Dr.Goupta saved rest of my vacation! I felt much better after visiting the clinic. Thanks a lot! read more

Love Maui Dental Group...the cleaning was excellent and done by the actual dentist herself. I know it was done top notch. They always get me in right away and I do not have to wait. The Maui Dental Group team all were professional and so nice and caring. I highly recommend Maui Dental Group for any dental needs because you know it will be done right. It is worth every penny, because they are honest and do not take advantage of me like other dentists have done. They do not charge me for work that does not need to be done so I end up saving money. All the fillings and work was done perfect and now I have no pain and no sensitivity. They make the experience from the beginning to the end very comfortable. Starting with our texting conversation to the actual treatment which was so gentle. And the dentist is so patient with me and I am grateful for their kindness. read more

Broke my veneer while on vacation in Kihei, which could have ruined by entire holiday, but now it's just another story for the trip thanks to Dr. Gupta. Broke the veneer Wednesday night, and I was back smiling at the beach like nothing happened by 10am the next morning. The replacement looks great, and the overall experience was Dr. Gupta was excellent. Seriously one of the best dental experiences I've had. read more

I needed dental work ASAP and was able to book an appointment quickly. Dr. Gupta was very warm and friendly. All of my questions were answered. I learned new tips on tooth maintenance, and how gum health can change over time due to certain causes. This was the best dental visit I have ever experienced! My teeth felt brand new and so did I! read more

Highly recommend! Efficient appointment system and Dr Gupta was awesome! Super personable and knowledgeable. If you are from out of town and have a dental emergency, this is definitely the place to go. Saw me the same day that I had the issue! read more

Amazing Service! I woke up with a pinging tooth that sent pain up and into my ear. It was Sunday, but they met me at the clinic in 20 minutes to take a look! She was very patient with me and took her time to find the problem. After checking everything out we found it and it was completely different than what I had assumed. Very affordable considering the situation and time frame. Very professional! And now I can relax and go back to feeling great! All in a matter of hours! So relieved!!! read more

Dr Vargas was amazing with my daughter after she fell at our resorts water slide and fractured a tooth. My daughter was in a lot of pain and the entire staff at Maui Dental Group were so gentle with her. Thank you so much! read more

Dr Lewis is amazing! My wife and I had just landed in Maui for our vacation only for my wife's recently crowned tooth to cause her acute pain. After a sleepless night, we had to find a dentist (on a Sunday no less!) and after contacting Maui Dental Group, Dr Lewis and her nurse were able to meet us at 8am at the office and instantly put my wife and i at ease. After a quick consultation and x-ray, Dr Lewis diagnosed the issue and realized my wife's tooth was infected under the crown. She expertly managed to drill through the tough crown, flushed it out and neutralized the issue. We're now able to enjoy the last of our few days on Maui pain free until a possible root canal when we get home. We can't thank Dr Lewis enough for her professional and friendly help. Highly reccommended! read more

I'm thankful to find Maui Dental Group. A friend of mine referred me after she had a good experience. I went for a routine cleaning and it was such a pleasant experience. Dr. Vargas explained everything she did, what it was and why. I found that helpful and comforting. She took plenty of time to answer my questions as we went along. They were upfront about all the charges which was great because we don't have dental insurance. We felt like it was affordable, especially for the quality of care. Their office staff is great too. Very friendly and helpful. I can't tell you how many times I've liked a Doctor, but dealing with their office staff was terrible. This is NOT the case here. Everyone I interacted with was great. I'd highly recommend Maui Dental Group, especially if you live around this part of the island. If you need help finding it, go straight past the dead end sign and park on the left. Go up the stairs and you'll see signs and their door on the left. read more

Today was my first appointment. It was an evaluation and cleaning. These people are polite, professional and courteous without being stuffy. Dr. Vargas a young Dentist is efficient and knows her stuff beyond her years. Her employees are at ease and the office works as a very cohesive operation. This is one of my top 3 Dental experiences in my 60 years. I have additional appointments to follow so will keep you informed. 9/1/2016 I have now had several visits and this is quality Dentistry at a fair price. I had several teeth with large fillings that were leaking or broke and needed crowns. The Temporary teeth were like real teeth. The Crowns fit like a glove and were seated with gentle professionalism. I had two crowns side by side that had to be fitted leaving enough room to floss. This is so difficult to do and they idid it with perfection. I recommend Dr. Vargas and her staff no issues what so ever. read more

Dr Gupta is well-informed, sensitive & attentive to alternative healing options for dental care. The office is wonderfully friendly & organized, the service was truly great! I felt in very good hands with the dental care, and patient & gentle manner of Dr Gupta! She is knowledgeable & competent & very professional! read more

I thought my vacation was going to take a turn for the worse when a wave knocked out my crown and root canal (front tooth). Thank goodness I found Maui Dental Group! Maui Dental Group was the first place I called and am SO glad I did! I spoke to the receptionist, Andrea and she helped me right away. She was caring and extremely helpful. I was booked for an appt right away and they saw me an hour after the incident. Andrea also emailed me paperwork to fill out prior to seeing the dentist so they can get started on me right away. Dr. Vargas was very nice, knowledgeable, professional and answered any questions and concerns I had. She and her team worked diligently to make me a temporary tooth until I see my dentist at home. I could not be happier! She was gentle and continually checked to make sure I was comfortable. I now have a temporary tooth and it looks great! I can continue on with my vacation and take pictures and no one will notice a thing! I am extremely pleased! Definitely appreciated the fact that they got me in quick and worked diligently to bring back my smile read more

Maui Dental Group is a Top Notch Dental Practice and Dr. Vargas took the lead this time around,she cleaned my teeth and provided me a detailed exam. It was recommend that I have a older deeper filling replaced and she explained what needed to be done and offered and estimate of the cost before the repair. No waiting around at the follow up visit Dr. Vargas and her assistant did a great job, her attention to detail is top notch. She was not in rush and she did not let me leave the chair until the surface of the tooth was "just right". This place provides quality work with a focus on Prevention and Customer Service, as I said in the first review it a good idea to understand the fees before you purchase the service. . read more

In my opinion this dental office is the best dentist on maui . They got me in when I needed , explained everything and the price was super reasonable . read more

We were on vacation and after an Oreo smoothie my son was crying in pain for over an hour. Maui Dental was able to get us in first thing the next morning to remove his "baby" tooth (which was actually HUGE!). They were AMAZING with him and are all so sweet! My father-in-law is buying a home nearby and we have found his new dentist. Maui Dental saved our trip! read more

Maui Dental Group - Enjoying pineapple gelato after Maui Dental saved our vacation! Thank you!!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

I had a crown fall off on vacation and these lovely people got me in in 24 hours. Dr Vargas and her team were SO nice, very informative and wanted me to choose the treatment option that was best for me, not their pocketbook. Gentle, speedy, informative, and had me in and out. If I lived in Maui I'd have them as my dental provider. 5 stars! Highly recommend. Thank you!!!! read more

Best Dental Office EVER! I called many different dentist offices before choosing this one and I am so glad that I did. Not only did they have the lowest self-pay rates in Kihei for a basic exam and cleaning, they also were the friendliest group. They were fast but efficient. They were friendly and sincere. They didn't make me get new x-rays because my old dentist from the mainland was able to send some to them. They had mobiles on the ceiling for me to watch while they worked on examining and cleaning my teeth. They were super considerate of my needs and I really appreciated how gentle they were with my teeth. I will be recommending them to all my family and friends. read more

The best service and professionals, I am so happy to have them so close and always so accommodating , I highly recommend this office and all their dentist read more

Dr. Gupta and her staff are so sweet! Especially accommodating my 3 yr old son. I highly recommend their practice to everyone.

As always, Maui Dental was awesome. Seems like everyone with a dental emergency while on vacation find Maui Dental for emergency treatments. My friends laugh because I always visit Maui Dental for a cleaning when we visit Maui. I can tell you from experience, Dr. Vargas is a top notch Dentist. When she does a cleaning, you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. I just can't say enough about the professionalism and patience that this office shows. While on vacation, make sure you schedule an appointment like us. read more

We LOVE Maui Dental Group so much that my fiancé' and I drive from the other side of the island to see them. They always get us in a timely fashion and the dentist personally calls the next day to follow and how we are doing. Dr. Gupta and her team are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I always feel confident that they are giving me the best care possible and I especially appreciate the way they answer all my questions and don't let me leave until I fully understand the treatment plan from start to finish. My treatment plan is fully detailed in their files, so that every member of their staff is able to reference it and know exactly what is going on with me. I love that!!!! Not only are they all so extremely nice and easy to work with, they also really know their stuff. read more

Dr. Gupta, in fact, runs the best hospital dentistry practice that I know of. Its all that she does, so I know I can depend on her office. Dr. Gupta is extremely friendly and professional. You really get the sense that she care's about you and your child's teeth! I have been taking my son to Dr. Gupta for years because he has to be treated while he is sleeping. I have been extremely satisfied with every procedure that He has had over the years. . She doesn't recommend procedures unless they're needed, and when she performs procedures, she checks in with you all of the time to make sure you agree and understand. she explains everything in detail and answers every question thoroughly. All her work has been great and I have many friends with children on island who have seen her and would definitely agree. She takes care of the administrative side of the practice, too -- people who work for her are professional, friendly, and know their stuff. I would never go anywhere else. Finding a good dentist is like finding a good auto mechanic: you never really know what you're going to get beforehand, and you're never completely sure what you got afterwards. Your teeth only grow back once, so take care of them by going to a great dentist like Dr Gupta! read more

Sonia is professional, well trained, friendly and makes the entire process of going to the dentist's office easy. I hate going to dentists, but I found the experience with Sonia (a basic cleaning) to be easy and efficient. Medical credentials are really a big part of my evaluation process when deciding to go to a dentist, and Sonia is UCSF trained (one of the best schools in the world). In addition to that, she has a friendly demeanor and provides solid customer service. I would highly recommend Sonia to others, either for basic cleanings or other dental work. read more

I was in vacation and chipped a tooth. Dr Gupta's service quickly responded even though a holiday and the doctor came to me. She fixed my tooth with no pain and checked on the other teeth as well. She focused on what was good for my teeth. Professional pleasant and easy for me. Her service also promptly followed up. Thank you Dr Gupta and Molly! read more

Everyone I interacted with at Maui Dental Group was wonderful; kind and caring, which helped more than I can say, as I was very distressed about a chunk of my back molar falling out randomly and the subsequent pain I was in (was worried about an infection spreading to my brain!). Monica, the receptionist, immediately got me booked to see Dr. Gupta, probably during her lunch break at noon. She patiently listened to all my concerns and kindly assured me that the doctor would be happy to see me. Dr. Gupta herself is angel. One of the reasons she got into dentistry was to serve on medical missions throughout the world, like in Africa and Southeast Asia, and even right here in very disadvantaged communities in the US. That experience has probably helped her to become even more kind and patient than I'm sure she already was, which was incredibly helpful, to sforay the least, for someone like me! Her breadth of knowledge on tooth (and health in general) care far surpasses that of most conventional dentists currently practicing, again, something crucial for me. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm almost glad this tooth emergency happened as I probably wouldn't have connected with her otherwise. Very, very grateful I did! read more

We are on vacation, it's Saturday and my wife's tooth cracked. We called Maui Dental group. The are 24 hours on call. Yes, they answered!! They were wonderful. Yes, emergencies are expensive, but my wife was in pain. Dr. Vargas was at the office in just over an hour. My wife's comments: they were gentle and kind. They explained everything and sent her home with photos for our dentist. Thank you. Sincerely. It was a bad situation and you were there Dale read more

Aloha Dr. Gupta, We thank you for taking the time to write to us, and for your kind explanation of the circumstances surrounding our disappointing contact with your answering service. We certainly appreciate your position and clarification, and have no doubt you operate a successful practice with kind people who have the best intent. You're clearly respected by the community, and your philanthropic efforts are both impressive and laudable. Based on your contact and reply (we didn't receive your calls so our apologies for that disconnect) I'm amending our review from 1 to 2 stars. Unfortunately the details of our original connection with your service and our family's complaint remain accurate, so I can't revise those facts. At the time of contact to your service, we received a rapid response from an orthodontist several thousand miles away specifically because her answering service was directed to instantly pass along such emergency requests; we've since confirmed her policy also extends to non-patients reaching the service in an emergency situation. Yet we received no further contact from your office on the day of our crisis or in the weeks following, and even then only in response to a low Yelp review rather than our child - a response asking us to remove the poor review in order to serve you rather than our family. You must recognize how this looks. Your reasons for billing an inflexible $1400 up front regardless of the level of assistance required may be warranted for emergency fly-ins, but that information was not shared with us at the time we needed help. Any after hours/emergency phone service is directed by the business on how to respond to callers, including pricing and dissemination of information. Your service wouldn't state a flat $1400 fee, with no assessment or range, unless that inflexible cost was specifically set and provided to them by your office. Had your service been properly guided in emergency response, or directed to pass our call along to you or your staff for professional assessment, this could have been helpful. Instead Maui Dental Group has directed the service to set exorbitant billing from the start, prior to any contact from an expert, take it or leave it, and without explanation. Very problematic for a family with a child in distress who can't eat. With all due respect, and as business owners ourselves, we suggest a better standard practice may be for Maui Dental Group to direct your answering service to forward emergency calls either to you or one of your associates (perhaps shared in a cycle) in order to facilitate a quick professional consultation by phone, even billable at a reasonable rate. This would offer you an opportunity to show your level of care, and for your seasoned team to properly assess an emergency situation in the moment rather than applying a set price tag before the fact, regardless of patient circumstances. A 2-minute call may allow you to discover alternative options, redirect to another practice, or explain to the patient that no one is on the island to help and what justified costs would be involved for off-hours care. This would not only serve your patients, but potentially bring in new customers and show your practice in the best possible light. Again, we very much appreciate your contact and wish you and your practice well. Most sincerely, Steve Multer read more

So much appreciation to Dr. Vargas and everyone at Maui Dental Group! Our son is 10 and very strong, non-verbal and oral defensive with multiple disabilities. He had his first tooth extraction at Maui Dental Group and it was quick and painless. What a miracle! All other dental practices had him screaming, struggling and crying and we'd have to leave without getting anything done. Dr. Vargas was kind, gentle, compassionate and kept us informed of everything that was going to be done. She was able to extract his tooth in record time with no trauma to him. He was smiling and laughing within a few minutes. Everyone there is friendly, caring and very professional. I highly recommend Maui Dental Group. read more

What a wonderful experience, I highly recommend this dental practice. I've seen various dentists in places I've lived over the last fifty-some years back on the mainland and I have to say Dr. Vargas and the whole team at Maui Dental Group are the best I've experienced. The care is exceptional and everyone is really nice and friendly. They have all the latest technology and equipment and their techniques and skills are top-rate. They have an ultrasonic tooth scaler for cleaning which is comfortable and effective, a digital x-ray machine so images are available right away, and compact, modern tools and instruments. And no annoying overhead spotlight shining in your face like you're being interrogated by the FBI! Just a subtle, effective, cool little LED headlamp worn by Dr. Vargas. There is actually a butterfly mobile hanging overhead when the spotlight would be! I went in for a cleaning and exam and both were very thorough. My teeth looked great! Better than any cleaning I can remember in a long time. The x-rays revealed two cavities that had formed underneath fillings I had had for a long time (bacteria can actually work their way under old-school silver filings after a few decades). Appointments were scheduled for the repairs, and in each Dr. Vargas and her team delivered compassionate, gentle care with no pain or discomfort. They used a special gel so I didn't even feel the Novocaine shot. Once that had taken effect, Dr. Vargas removed the old silver filling, removed the decayed portion of the tooth, and put in new ceramic filling. My first. Wow, it looked great! No more grey splotch on my tooth! She took great care to match the new filling to my bite, grinding a bit off, checking, taking a little more, and checking again, until it was perfect. Dr. Vargas mentioned that my tooth may be sensitive to cold for a while due to the procedure, especially since the cavity was pretty deep. So I was a little nervous waiting for the Novocaine to wear off. When it did, I thought I would just go for it and see what happened, so I ordered a hot sandwich and an ice-cold drink. I was thrilled to find there was no sensitivity whatsoever. The tooth felt just like it had when I arrived at their office that morning. And it's been that way ever since. All-in-all, a great experience. First-rate, professional care delivered by competent, friendly, caring staff, using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, all with no pain or discomfort. Highly recommended. read more

Dear Dr. Gupta, I am all smiles and wanted to thank you once again for everything that you did to accommodate me in an emergency situation. Your business card is entitled "Special Care Dentistry" and your practice, certainly, proves it. The meticulous care you showed to me was way beyond expectation. Why, even during regular business hours such care would have been exceptional but you went even further to make your patient happy and satisfied before, during, and after the procedure on a Saturday! Thank you so much. You are a wonderful doctor and a very empathetic person. The world is a better place because of you. read more

I had a very positive experience here! Dr. Vargas and everyone else at their office were knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of my questions when it came to my care. I went for a standard cleaning and my teeth look and feel vastly improved. I will be going back for my check up and as long as I still live on the island. Thank you! read more
