I've been a patient with Dr. Okazaki for 10+ years now. He takes pride in his work and is very knowledgeable. Lisa, my hygienist is extremely patient and also does an amazing job with cleanings. She is very attentive to detail, very easy to talk to, also takes pride in her work. overall 10/10 experience here and I highly recommend! read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Okazaki for the past 25+ years. Excellent service and staff from the front desk to the hygenist and Dr. Okazaki. Very thorough and honest in all their recommendations and solutions. read more

I almost hated to write a review as I don't want everyone to go here or I will have to wait longer to get appointments. Selfish me. We have been going here since 1999 after we first moved to Fremont. The people we bought our house from down the road recommended him. Everyone we have referred to him, especially relatives have started going here too. Friendly staff and good hygienists. Dr. O has all of the latest technology too. I just wish he was my dentist much sooner or I wouldn't have had to spend so much now on fixing decades of neglect before we started going there. Nobody gives as good of shots to numb nerves in the mouth for crowns or cavities as Dr. O. Overall a great choice if you need a dentist in the area. We continued to use him even when we moved to Pleasanton and Castro Valley. read more

I've been bringing my developmentally disabled sister to Dr. Okazaki's office for many years. The staff is always so friendly and patient with her and very professional with me. She genuinely looks forward to her dental appointments. The staff always lets me know if there's a developing issue, and they make sure she knows if she has to brush differently or floss better in a certain area, etc. The care she receives here is top-notch. Their office is physically decent. The waiting room isn't huge, but it has a little salt-water aquarium and lots of magazines to bide the time. We almost never have to wait very long from our appointment time anyway. The only issues I would mention are the wait times for getting an appointment. They are booked pretty far in advance for routine care, which I would expect from a skilled dentist with good staff. It can also be a little confusing getting to the right office, since all the buildings look the same, and there are a million dentists in these buildings. (Be sure to check the address/number on the side of the building. Their office is upstairs.) But once you've been there and figured it out, I'm sure you'll be returning for many years as we have. read more

Dr. O and his staff are super welcoming! It always feels like Thanksgiving Dinner when I come for my routine cleaning/check up appointments (every 6 months). I say this because everyone is so nice and want to catch up on what's been going on the last 6 months. And what's cool, is that it's like that really good friend you haven't seen in a while, when you see that friend you basically pick up where you left off, this is the feeling I get when I come to this office. Plus, my appointments always have a good flow; Taree the Sweet front desk lady is super nice and knows me by name. She checks me in and I wait a few minutes, then I'm called back by my dental hygienist, Amber. Amber's cool and really makes me feel comfortable. She's also very thorough and patient, because I unfortunately produce extra amounts of calcium therefore I have more build up compared to the normal person. This requires extra time and work during my cleanings. Thanks Amber for being so thorough, my teeth feel amazing after you clean them! After I'm done with Amber, Dr. Okazaki sees me for about a 5-10 minute check up to make sure I have no cavities. Dr. Okazaki is very thorough during his exams and answers any questions you have at the time. After my time with Dr. I- I'm off with my goodie bag with includes a new tooth brush, a floss and small tooth paste sample. Before walking out I stop by Taree to schedule my next appointment. Easy-peasy. I like the organization of this practice, plus the inside is very clean and up to date. P.S. if you're lucky you get one of the massage dental chairs for your visit! read more

I'm big on personal referrals and when more than one friend told me about Dr. Okazaki and his staff being rock stars, I had a good feeling we had found our dentist. Every visit I've had has been timely and professional. I'm never left waiting in the waiting room or chair for long. And from previous dental offices, I've had the unfortunate experience of dentists pretty much forcing procedures and unnecessary work down my throat, all for the sake of making some money out of me and my insurance. One of the best things I like about Dr. O is that he has a genuine plan of care for me and those in my family. He, along with this front office staff, are honest and want the best for their patients. This is a dental office with heart. If you're like me, and you love a good referral, here it is, along with all the other 5 star reviews written before mine. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. O for as long as I can remember and he is absolutely THE BEST dentist EVER! Not only is he very thorough and amazing at what he does, but he is also personable and outgoing which makes going to the dentist a fairly decent experience. I love the spa-like ambiance that this dental office has to offer. The place is clean and relaxing, the chairs are super comfy, and they provide you with things such as movies and music. He carries state of the art equipments which I think are pretty cool such as the crown maker. The staff here is really remarkable as well. As soon as I walk through the door, the gals at the front desk always greet me with a cheery welcome. When setting you up for an appointment, they are very accommodating and considerate of your time and schedule. Leigh is the dental hygienist that often works on my teeth and she is fantastic! Her touch is gentle, but she gets all the gunk off my grill and then some! I always leave the place with a fresh clean feeling in my mouth and my pearly whites sparkling! Ask for her! You will absolutely adore her too. I guarantee it. Upon leaving, she packs me my to-go bag complete with a new toothbrush, travel size toothpaste, and floss. Would I strongly recommend Dr. Okazaki to all my family and friends? You betcha! They all go to him actually AND so should you! You will not be disappointed. read more

I recently decided to change dentists after a series of disappointing experiences with my previous dentist. A few people recommended Dr. Okazaki and I rolled the dice and took a chance. I'm elated that I did. Marissa was my hygienist. She's incredibly smart, talented, and friendly. Dr. Okazaki was top notch, first class with my examination. Low key. Low stress. AnnaMaria, front desk, very kind and helpful. Beautiful office. Highly recommend. Happy I made a change. read more

Great dentist and friendly staff! We've been coming here for 7 years and love this place

First I'd like to say that this place is AMAZING!! The ladies in the front are so friendly and welcoming every time I come in. The dental assistants are amazing!! Dr. O is the BEST dentist I have ever been to. I've had some bad experiences with the other places I've been to which has caused my anxiety for going to the dentist but ever since coming here I feel a lot more comfortable. I recommend this dentist office to everyone and anyone, you won't regret it! read more

I drive 30 mins just to see this dentist and if I moved, I would fly just to visit him. I have a fear of dentist and will never go to anyone else! Everyone in the office is just so nice and friendly! read more

Dr. O has been my dentist now for about 4 months now. It's been a LONG time since I've been to the dentist so I needed a LOT of work from Deep cleanings, extractions/fillings to a bridge. The numbing process is excellent. You barely feel them applying the nova cane as well as the work they do while you're numb. The staff here is very friendly and they make the atmosphere feel relaxed and welcome and of course Dr. O is the shizznit. Over all, I highly recommend this dentist to all. read more

So Greatful to have Dr.Okazaki as my dentist. He has taken care of me and my family for years. He and his staff are always kind and accommodating to my hectic schedule. We travel over an hour to visit his office but its totally worth it. Most recently I had an emergency with one of my teeth. Dr. Okazaki responded to me after hours and even met me at the office because of the pain he knew I was going through. I can't thank him enough. If you're looking for an honest and professional dentist, Dr.Okazaki is just that. read more

Dr. O gave me my smile back in 2008! After a long period of utter poverty, my teeth, gums, bone were a mess. Dr. O. and techs were Non-judgmental and supportive. Dr. O is Hip. Cool. Caring. Talented. Love Dr. O and his amazing staff. Recently had a 25-yr old crown replaced. Completely painless, one-stop process. Crown looks like real tooth and perfect color. Referred many coworkers over the years - of course everybody referred loves Dr. O and his staff. 10 STARS! read more

Doctor Okazaki is the best. I hate the dentist, and I met his aunt who told me that he was the best dentist. I had great anxiety going to any dentist, I finally broke down and he is wonderful...!!! He has been my dentist for over 12 years...he is the most gentle, sensitive dentist around. I highly recommend him, and have to several friends, and they love him too..... ;) read more

I've been going here for years and Okazaki is always quick and precise when getting the job done. He is friendly and never a pain to go see (as dentists are infamous for). This last time I met Rachelle, an assistant I haven't met before, but we talked the entire time I was there and she's so cool. I think we became bffs :) read more

Recently moved from a downstairs office to an upstairs one. Upgraded with a new fish tank and plasma TVs. Up to date technology and great staff. You can bring your own DVD to watch or choose one from their collection. The toy chest has lots of neat goodies too. You might have to sneak into the box if you look too old for toys. :p The dental assistants are all very friendly. They give me a spiel about flossing everytime I go in, but I think you get that at every dental office. My only scary experience I've had was with this one dental assistant who doesn't work there anymore. I thought she was too rough on the teeth/gums. Fine, I've got plaque, but a teensy bit is okay, right? Apparently not. Dr. O has been in the business for over 10 years. He knows what he's doing. I've got him to thank for my pearly whites! :) read more

Dr. O has been my dentist for years. He is gentle, kind, and I trust him completely. His staff is friendly and competent. He is simply the best! read more

Dr. "O" as many call him, is one of the most professional, personable, awesome dentists in the States!! Maybe beyond. He stays very current with new technologies and is without a doubt an artist and perfectionist when it comes to caring for each one of his patients. His staff is perfect too! Don't hesitate --- call him NOW!! He has good taste not only in the office decor but in the Interior Designer he worked with on his home : ) ME! www.lamountaine.com read more

I have not been to a dentist in years... mine retired and I kept finding excuses not to go, but then I had a problem ..real bad tooth ache, I needed someone, so I come to yelp ..and found this dentist. so I went today, and had a great experience, real nice gentle dentist and staff are all nice and good at their jobs, the decor is really calming and elegant as well but that is just the icing on the cake, I am glad I have found a new Dentist and can get my teeth taken care of oh yeah I watched a movie with those glasses while getting a root canal with one hour notice.. kudos Thanks Yelpers read more

These 5 stars are for Dr. Okazaki and every single one of the wonderful staff there!!! They are all SO kind and warm and welcoming from the moment I walk into the office all the way until I leave. They are always very timely (peak times can be a bit crowded but they do their best regardless), and never fail to make sure the appointment goes smoothly. All of the dentists take their time on their work but are still as efficient as possible, and make great conversation while at it too!! After having several bad experiences with my previous dentist, Dr. O made me a lot less anxious about dentists in general and really made the experience so much greater than I ever thought possible. I wish I could give 10 stars! If you're looking for a dentist in Fremont, come to Dr. O!! read more

I have been with Dr. Okazaki since he first started about 20-25 years ago. I have moved several times but never thought about changing dentists. His staff is amazing and they keep up with the latest technology. Despite having to go for whatever work I need, I'm almost disappointed when they finish before the movie ends (almost). No place is perfect but if there is ever a problem or concern, they are very good at fixing or going out of their way to make it up. Love their yearly cards they send out, Happy Birthday texts and reminders. Not to mention that Dr. O is also a cutie and his kids are tough as nails competitors on the basketball court. Thanks for being such an awesome dentist! read more

Dr. O is the best. My family has been going to him since the beginning. Dr. O knows his stuff, has the most up to date equipment/technology and great demeanor. He'll present all alternatives/options and not be overly aggressive. His concern is the patient. Can you imagine not even feeling him numb you out or having to wait for days for crowns? (does it same day) You can also watch movies while sitting in his plus chairs. Office staff and dental professionals are awesome as well. Be good to Tary, she runs the show. read more

New to the Fremont area and decided to book an appointment with Dr. Okazaki. Yelp reviews looked impressive and my visit indeed owned up to it. Staff is very friendly. Amber performed my Xrays and Cleaning and was extremely gentle and friendly. She indeed made my visit very relaxing and welcoming. Kudos for Amber. Dr. Okazaki is very Professional and Friendly. Indeed a very welcoming team. The office is clean and up to date with impressive equipment. I highly recommend this Dentist for all ages. Thank you Dr. Okazaki and staff for a pleasant visit. read more

Dr. O and his team are THE BEST! From a very young age I had a tough time going to the dentist, and I had seen many of them. I don't have "bad" teeth, but the process of numbing to deal with cavities and such really traumatized me from the very beginning, so when I initially changed dentists to Dr. Okazaki, I was as apprehensive as ever. Boy, was I wrong for feeling that way. First off, the front office staff are amazing. Very kind, personable, and always helpful. All of his dental staff are great too. Very gentle, also very helpful and you get to really know them as you go through cleanings and prep for other dental needs. As far as Dr. O...I've already told him he's got the softest hands of any dentist I've ever had work on my teeth. The process and method of how he has had to numb my teeth when I needed it is magical. I'm never anxious when he has to do it to me. Additionally, his patient care is second to none. He explains what's going on with your teeth, gives you options when they're there, and is just a great guy. I'd totally recommend Dr. Okazaki and his office for any other your regular dental needs. read more

I can't believe that I had never written a review for this place after all these years! All the staff, from the reception desk to the dental chair, are genuinely friendly to you and greet you by your name. Dr Okazaki's team all work with the latest dental technology. After having tried other dentists more conveniently located to me, I've come to the conclusion that the service level I've received at Dr O's Office is almost impossible to match, and is worth the drive. read more

I have been seeing Dr. O for over 20 years now. I used to live close by but I have since moved and must drive almost an hour to get to him. I would drive two or three hours if I had to. There is no better dentist in my opinion. I have had an implant done, root canal, veneers, etc. no work that Dr. O has done has ever had to be redone. The office is very nice and calm, the staff is fantastic and Dr. O is amazing! He uses high-tech gear and he is very keen on making sure you are fully numb before drilling. I have referred maybe 10 people to this office and all of them are equally happy. Go see Dr. O, you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow ... Dr. O and staff exceeded my expectations on some recent cosmetic dental work I had done. I am now no longer self-conscious when I smile. I thought having beautiful teeth was way out of my league financially and prohibited due to my yellowing and crooked teeth. Dr. O brought my dream to have nice teeth and a nice smile a reality. I couldn't be happier. For anyone who is insecure about your teeth and/or your smile make an appt. with Dr. O immediately. He has so many options available that won't "break your bank" and will give you the teeth/smile you thought you'd never have. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Okazaki and his staff. I have been with him for as long as he's had his business. My three children grew up with him as their Dentist and now their wives and husbands are with him as well. His staff is incredible and their kindness, professionalism and compassion is the absolute best. Tari runs the office and you always know where you stand with insurance and financial issues, she is simply the best! I have lead many a client to him and continue to do so. You would be well served to make him your Dentist. Enough said! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars to DR. O, i would! Best dentist we ever had. His staffs are nice and friendly and their office really care. read more

I've been VERY happy with the service and professional care I've received at Dr. O's office. The office is always clean and the staff is nothing short of wonderful. I appreciate their no-pressure approach and their use of modern technologies. Highly recommended. read more

My first time at Dr Okazaki today was a very satisfying experience. I had neglected my teeth far too long and had a front tooth infected and in what I thought was a hopeless state. I was completely expecting an extraction. Dr Ted worked me into his schedule, someone was at my chairside in minutes with an estimate based on my coverage, and we were off and running. I walked out with a saved tooth and my discomfort abated. So glad I went in. So glad to be back on the road to good dental health with such a great doctor and team. Please go see Dr. Okazaki. read more

The staff and Dr O are nothing but amazing to our kids when they come in. Always friendly! They make my kids super comfortable which I feel is important when it comes to dental medical etc. it makes me feel at ease when they go back there with the hygienist. This is a great dental office to come to for adults and kids! read more

shopped around for a new dentist in the area. read my share of reviews and i was fooled over quantity vs quality. i've read the reviews here carefully to notice consistencies and was wondering what people were raving about. i came here with extremely high expectations, what I can tell you on why Dr. O and his staff is the best is that they value your comfort and go out of their way to make sure you feel good the entire time. Any dentist can perform procedures, but the service and conscious efforts these guys go through to make sure you are not in too much pain (there is a little, let's be honest here). I live in San Jose now, but they are my #1 dentist practice for many many years to come. Oh - all their gear is top-notch! and the give away tooth brushes aren't the crappy onces, it's my daily brusher - they seriously take you seriously! :) read more

If you are afraid of root canal... look no further for a dentist...Just call Dr. Okazaki in Fremont! IAbsolutely a Great Dentist and his staff are friendly & helpful...absolutely loved the experience! read more

Just a note to my Dentist of many years, Dr. Theodore Okazaki in Fremont, Ca. If any of you need a wonderful, caring and great work dentist this is your man! A fairwell note to the best dentist this world has ever seen! Dr O, it is with great regret that I have to say good-bye to you as my dentist. My retirement benefits have changed and it just kills me to have to leave as being your patient! My dental that I have now no longer covers "Out of Network" frown emoticon This makes me very sad. Not only has your work held up in my mouth for years and years, not only will I miss the pain free dentistry that you performed but I owe you so much thanks for how you treated John just days before his passing, how you worked on him at his request and what you did for me after his passing. You know what you did and I will never be able to repay your kindness for that act of compassion. So to your future I wish you the best of everything in life and in business and I will continue to hold you and your family and your staff in my prayers. Thank you for all that you have done for my family and my daughter's family. So glad that God brought you into our lives. Continued success to you. I truly mean that you are the best dentist this world has ever seen. Please stay in touch with your Christmas cards and say hello once in while. With Great Respect, Wanny Lara-Bush read more

This guy is a ROCK STAR! The whole team gets 5 stars. He's clean and honest and on time. This is the only dentist office I actually like to go into . Look forward to it really. Everyone is super on point and super respectful. Dr.O would never send you down a path that isn't a good decision and the health of your mouth is his top priority. He himself has ZERO CAVITIES. If that doesn't say something!!! I've had my fair share of bad dentistry and am so glad to finally be in good hands. You should definitely come here if you don't already! #nocarbs read more

This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to! Most people hate going to the dentist because it is usually uncomfortable and rarely pleasant. I too shared this feeling until I was referred to Dr. Okazaki. After having a horrible ordeal with bad crowns at Fremont Dental, I had Dr. O replace them and was amazed at the experience. No pain, perfect results, and the crowns were done in house in about 1 hour. The staff is equally as great. Carmen is my dental hygienist and is very gentle and thorough. I can go on and on, but you need to experience it for yourself. I now enjoy going to the dentist and tell everyone I can of my experience. read more

Took me a long time to finally find a dentist. Dr. Okazaki is awesome and I love the friendly staff.

Love Dr. O! He is so cool, hip and funny! LOL Never thought I'd love going to the dentist but him and his staff are excellent! I would highly rec him to everyone! They have cutting edge technology and it actually makes going to the dentist cool! 2 giant thumbs up from me! =) read more
