I'm so glad I found Kailua Dental Care! I originally went to another dental office in Kailua, and…read morethey quoted me triple what Kailua Dental Care was going to charge and I do have dental insurance. It felt like they were just trying to upsell me. Then I came here, and wow night and day difference. Dr. Dunk is amazing! He really knows what he's doing. I guess you could say I have some "unique" teeth another dentist told me I needed to see a gum specialist, but Dr. Dunk took one look and figured out it was actually a baby tooth still attached to my adult tooth. Something super rare, and even though he'd never seen it before, he was confident, explained everything clearly, and handled it like a pro. He saved me time, money, and unnecessary procedures. I felt like I was in great hands the entire time. Highly recommend this dental office if you're looking for honest, skilled, and professional care!

After my dentist passed away a couple of years ago, I had a difficult time finding another dentist…read moreI could connect with. I had been with my previous dentist for over 15 years, and I believe having a good relationship with your dentist is important. You may only see them twice a year or during an emergency, but you want someone who knows you and genuinely cares. I tried a couple of dentists but never felt comfortable. Then I came across an ad featuring Dr. Jeff Miyazawa and decided to give his practice a try. He is in Kaneohe and I live in Ewa, so it is definitely a drive--but he is absolutely worth it. From the beginning, his staff made me feel welcome and comfortable, especially Christine. She is incredibly friendly, warm, and helpful. She listened to my concerns and carefully explained all of my options without making me feel pressured or judged. Dr. Miyazawa was also very personable and seemed genuinely interested in helping me. For years, I had a small chip in one of my front teeth. It may have seemed minor, but it was noticeable to me in pictures and affected how I felt about my smile. Another dentist had previously repaired it, but the repair did not last very long. Yesterday, Dr. Miyazawa repaired my two front teeth, and I could immediately see the difference in the level of care. He was extremely meticulous. He did not simply cover the chip and send me on my way. He made sure my smile looked balanced, also worked on my bottom teeth, and paid close attention to every detail. This was definitely not a rushed ten-minute job. I am so grateful to Dr. Miyazawa and his staff. I feel more confident, and I finally love my smile again. It feels like he gave me back the smile I used to have. I highly recommend him--especially if you are looking for a dentist who is skilled, caring, personable, and truly listens. The drive from Ewa to Kaneohe is worth it!

I highly recommend seeing Dr. Kim to make your teeth look flawless. A smile and the condition of teeth say so much about you on a first impression! Thank you, Dr. Kim!

Annual Blood Drive on the 4th of July weekend - sponsored by Dr. K.B. Chun and Sons…read more My neighbor asked me if I would be able to participate in an Eagle Scout Project. Her friend's son was organizing a Blood Drive in conjunction with the annual Blood Drive that a dentist's office in Kailua sponsors every 4th of July weekend. Hmmm... She knows that I am a regular blood donor. I was scheduled to donate in June, and I juggled my schedule around so that I could support two worthwhile projects at the same time! This event was well organized with live music; free shared parking in the lot next to Jack In The Box on Oneawa Street; and goodie bags for donors! It made me want to participate every year! If you're able to donate blood, please consider signing up for a convenient bloodmobile near you - or at the Dillingham or Young Street locations of the Blood Bank of Hawaii. Thanks to Dr. K.B. Chun and Sons for this fun and useful annual community event! I'm looking forward to participating again next year!

The experience here is inconsistent. I have an assigned dentist who is one of the younger sons or…read moregrandsons. When I've seen him, I have had a thorough exam and discussion. However, I never see the same person in sequence for teeth cleaning and when the older doctors come in afterwards, it's really cursory - no jaw exam no tongue exam, one didn't even touch my teeth or look in my mouth. Then they applied resin by almost spraying it on. There was resin on my gums and a thick layer on my teeth with globs between my teeth. They most definitely did not paint it on. It was so gross. I water picked it off after an hour. I think I'm not going back there. The front desk staff is very nice and it is a pleasant office. I know a lot of people in Kailua really like them and they are good community citizens, but this is the third Cleaning visit. I've been disappointed, today was the worst. Maybe it's just my bad timing.

Dr. Uchida should be put in jail…read more He took my money, did a bad job, and then blamed it all on me. He did the All-on-4 procedure for my upper and lower jaw. Charged me $54,000.00 which I paid in two payments upfront. Told me everything would be fine and that he's an "Expert." He's no expert and not even an implant specialist. He is a General Dentist and a crook! After the procedure was done my bite was off. I went back for adjustments but every time I went in he would blame me for his junk work. The teeth were so off that it cause one of the implants to fail and again he blamed it on me. He's the one that's supposed to make my bite good, that's why I did the upper and lower together. He even made me do Botox to try and solve his problem. Less than a year later, my new teeth on the upper and lower broke. I think the implants and materials he used are cheap and couldn't hold up and that he never fixed the bite properly. He again blamed it on me and refused to even fix it. Since I had no money left, I was of no use to him. He's only concerned with money and driving around in his fancy car. The only reason I didn't sue him is because I don't want to continue this nightmare. I'm pau. Yea he might get away with this on me but this is Hawaii and word will get out that he is a crook and a no good dentist. I hope other potential patients will read this and run far away from his office. Stephen

I left the below review for Dr. Uchida's Honolulu office location but would also like to share here…read moresince Dr. Uchida works out of 2 different offices and has 2 different yelp profiles for each location: Do not go to this dentist he is a nightmare! He seems to have a personality disorder and will yell at his patients and staff. The worst part is he hurts his patients when performing work. How is it that I am having work done on the left side of my mouth and when I awake from the procedure my ENTIRE mouth is cut up and my tongue had lacerations on the right side. He prescribes sedation pills so you are sleeping during the procedure and completely unaware of what is happening. It was only when the anesthesia wore off after I left his office did I realize how bad I was hurt. I feel like he did it on purpose because he was not happy that I returned to his office to fix the bad work he did previously. He will overcharge you and recommend having work done that is not even necessary just to make more money. I know this because I am now at another dentist who took Xrays of my mouth and said that I don't need to have the additional work done that Dr. Uchida said I did. Not to mention, he uses cheap materials so your teeth, implants, bonding etc.. will keep breaking and you will have to keep going back in, and he will charge everytime even though it's his fault. I think that's the plan so he continues making money off of his patients. Please stay away from this place this dentist is unethical and will seriously hurt someone one day.
