Calling ToothBuds to confirm if they were in network and set up appointments was very quick and easy. This week we had the pleasure of going to our first appointment. The location was easy to find and there are 3 designated parking spots to park. There's stairs and an elevator to take you to the ToothBuds office. The lobby area and office as a whole is extremely kid friendly. There's games to play with for a wide age range in the lobby. There were TVs playing kid movies while dental cleanings were taking place. The walls had different recognizable characters that my daughter immediately identified and made her feel comfortable. The best part of this experience was the attention to making sure my oldest understood what was going on and felt comfortable with what was being done. Linda is the dental hygienist who assisted us and she explained every single thing and every tool to my daughter, and I felt that that made the experience so much better for her. Linda was so patient and knowledgeable. She made me as a parent, feel very comfortable as well. All in all I highly recommend ToothBuds.

The dental rooms are super bright and colorful with decals of different cartoon characters on the walls. All the staff is super friendly and really talk to the kids well, making them feel comfortable and explaining everything they do every step of the way. Kids even get a gatchaball toy when their cleaning is done. Only complaint is the super limited and cramped parking down below. There's an attendant, but they're usually less than helpful when trying to park into their incredibly tight spaces. Make sure you check in on yelp and get yourself some free travel dental swag.

From the very beginning, they have created a warm, welcoming environment that makes my kids feel comfortable and at ease. My older son is on the spectrum, and it means so much to us that he feels safe and very comfortable going to his appointments. The team is patient, gentle, and always takes the time to explain things in a way my boys understand, which has made a big difference in how they feel about going to the dentist. What I appreciate most is the genuine care they show for each patient. They take the time to get to know our family and always make us feel valued. It's clear they truly care about the children they treat and their overall experience. I feel very fortunate to have found a dental office we trust, and I would highly recommend them to any family looking for kind, reliable pediatric dental care.

I had such a wonderful experience at Pediatric Dentistry Kahala with my 3-year-old son, Luka!…read more His previous dentist was wonderful, but unfortunately, parents were not allowed to accompany young children during cleanings. When Luka was 2.5, he was too scared to go in by himself, so we weren't able to complete his cleaning. Our experience here was completely different, in the best way. Parking was easy, and parents can stay with young children throughout the visit. Dr. Mimi was wonderful, professional, and very patient with Luka. Auntie Lei was fun, incredibly patient and gentle, talking with Luka, comforting him, and making the cleaning feel safe and positive. The front desk staff and the X-ray team were also warm, welcoming, and patient. We especially loved the thoughtful little touches, like taking Luka's photo during his first visit and making a keepsake card for him. It truly felt like everyone here genuinely cares about each child and family. We left feeling so welcomed and cared for. Thank you, Dr. Mimi, Auntie Lei, and the entire team for making Luka's dental visit such a positive experience!

You won't regret it. My child has been with Dr. Hirai since she was about 4 years old. I found out about them having a the worst experience with the pediatric dentist that was with the Aiea Family Dental care. They only had one pediatric dentist at the time which made it difficult to get an appointment even when I informed them that my child was in so much pain. When I first found out about Dr. Hirai, my insurance wouldn't allow me to seek outside care since he wasn't part of the Aiea Family Dental. Mrs. Hirai helped us by not only accepting us as new clients but also gave us discount since I was willing to pay out of pocket to treat my child. Today, we loved hearing that we can stay with Dr. Hirai while my child is a student :) Dr. Allen Hirai has the experience, knowledge and a friendly personality that makes my child happy. That's what matters to me! He knows how to make my child happy, calm and learn about healthy habits. The staffs ate all super nice and friendly too! We love Lei, Malia and the two ladies in the reception desk.

But THIS PLACE and the people ...my daughter absolutely loved! She is 1 year and 2 months, and have 8 teeth. Dr. Ching recommends she see the dentist when she has 8 teeth so we scheduled an appt with Dr. Michelle Kobayashi. For the waiting area -- there's huge space for her to just walk around back and forth or sit and watch tv. She liked the fishes in the fish tank, and also the mural on the wall. She was over it though after 5 minutes, but that's just her. I was told to get there around 10:15 to fill out papers. By the time we were seen, it was 10:40. Not bad, I totally understand waiting in the doctors office and it usually takes awhile for people to fill out papers. My daughter and I loved the decor in here for the kids -- tissue paper balls hanging from the ceiling and just the pictures on the wall. Perfect for children and lighting was bright which just made me happy!! Stacey asked us questions while my curious little daughter walked all over the place in the room, and touched everything. Stacey was accommodating and understood the curiousness of a little child. Then Dr. Michelle Kobayashi came in! She is SOOOO nice and super informative about what certain things to look for as far as signs of cavities, how to brush, when to brush, when she should snack, etc. She uses pictures and illustrations too! When it came to examining my daughters first teeth, my daughter did awesome I was so surprised!! My daughter usually doesn't like me brushing her teeth, but Stacey and Michelle did an awesome job making her feel comfortable, and opening up her mouth on command! She was able to see everything she needed to see! Then they let her get familiar around all the equipment to get her use to it the next coming visits. Stacey was so amazing giving her cups to play with and letting her experience the equipment. Michelle reassured me and taught me a lot. I know toddlers can change moods and so she may not be this great next time I bring her, but I love their staff and look forward to bringing her there again!

Having no way to reach him, I shotgunned calls to other dentists in the East Honolulu area and fortunately Dr. Weiss could see me that day. She took very good care of the emergency I had. Since then, Dr. Weiss has been taking excellent care of all my dental needs for the past few years. She is very knowledgable and addresses my dental issues with a high degree of professionalism and expertise. I am very comfortable with her being my dentist from here on out. So much so that I have recommended multiple family members to her. The waiting room, dental hygienist, and procedure rooms are all clean and much more modern than my prior dentist. Appointments have been on time and the front desk staff have always been nice to me. Also nice about this place is that they are located in the Kahala Mall professional building where there is ample free parking around the building and the mall. I dont know if Dr. Weiss is taking new patients at this time, but if she is and you are looking for a dentist, I strongly recommend giving her a try.

Root canal, they refer you to other specialists. There's parking available in the structure with validation available. They are off on weekends and Wednesdays.
