Ai-yai--yai! That was the most EXPENSIVE piece of Frrrrrrried Chicken I've ever eaten, and that's how I ended up having to do surgery, and visiting this place called - Honolulu Periodontics & Implants! In late July 2020 I was wildly diggin' into some Frrrrrried Chicken, as I was crazy hungry due to missing my breakfast & lunch that day. As I bit into one of my fried chicken pieces I bought from Times Supermarket, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in one of my tooth! Aiyah! The pain was brief, as it went away as quickly as it came, so I really didn't think anything of it, but by the next day I suddenly developed a small abscess on my gums. YIKES!!! Luckily for me, I have a great dentist as he is an old friend & classmate of mines, and after he squeezed me in on a last minute appointment to check out my teeth. My dentist took an x-ray and found out that I had actually fractured one of the roots on my tooth when I bit into that fried chicken. (Insert sad panda face here!) My dentist then gave me a prescription for some antibiotics, and referred me to a specialist. Unfortunately for me, the root that I busted was on one of my tooth that I had a bridge on, so that's how my paths crossed with Dr. Kenneth Choy who works at Honolulu Periodontics & Impants. I must give 10 stars to Dr. Choy, as he is highly skilled in what he does. Dr. Choy had the task of cutting my gums, & peeling back my gums to remove my tooth & fractured root (this is called a root amputation) yet he had the obstacle of keeping my bridge in place without disturbing it. My operation went pretty smoothly with minimum pain, and after the task was done, Dr. Choy was really great in giving instructions on what to do after my operation, and what to expect. Dr. Choy even called me up that evening (on his own time) to check on me, to see how I was doing after my surgery (which was very caring of him). Of course nobody wants to go through any kind of surgery, but if it's a must..........hopefully you'll get referred to Dr. Kenneth Choy, as he is highly skilled and a great doctor. read more

See all

Very experienced and high quality client service. Thank you for answering all of my questions as I search for an office that accepts my dental insurance! read more

BLUF - Thank you Dr. Liao!! No pain! You worked with me and my dental angst ! You did GREAT work!! OMG!! My teeth must be giving me payback for something I did in a prior life... Thank you so much Dr. Furuya (Dr. Liao's predecessor) for my first implants (2x) due to failed root canals and crowns. I went to see Dr. Liao who has taken over since Dr. Furuya's retirement and I am SO HAPPY . I went to fix another failed root canal and crown (tooth number 31 to be exact) with a huge abscess on the gum (a tooth that had 2 previous crowns and a root canal and the worst PAIN from previous root canal surgery (different dentist) that I have ever experienced in my life where I was told that I levitated (similar to raising from the chair like in a magic show). Dr. Liao understood my angst at taking this nasty tooth out and prepping it for an implant. He was so kind and patient dealing with my dental pain PTSD issues. The procedure was not simple and he worked through it with constant updates to me about what he was doing and was going to do while under process. So much better to feel like you are involved in the process vs. just being a recipient with no input. Dr. Liao is the BEST (and his staff are equally amazing!!) THANKS!! read more

Dr Choy is a professional who takes the time to explain the entire procedure. All of the staff are very friendly, helpful, and caring! Cracked my tooth- unfortunately it will require an implant. Dr Choy from consultation to procedure provided excellent work and follow up. Implant costs are reasonable and explained at every procedure. Payment plans available and detailed explanation of costs. Insurance plans are ran first to educate what total costs are. Dr. Choy came highly recommended from my primary care General Dentist. read more

Dr. Ray Liao is simply amazing in the expert performance of his profession!! Like many, my first time under his care was a new experience fraught with the normal hesitation of someone new. Now, having seen and experienced his excellent workmanship, I can heartily recommend Dr. Liao with full confidence in his ability to care for all my periodontal needs from here on and into the future!!! I highly recommend him!! read more

Awesome job. Well organized, and did not have a long waiting time to be taken in for my procedure. Dr. Choy was excellent and he informed me well on what he had to do. Amanda was also very helpful and caring. - Morris T. read more

If you want the very BEST service for a dental implant - Please, make sure you go to Honolulu Periodontics for an implant. Dr Liao and staff are the best. The office environment is always welcoming. Dr Liao is very kind and caring. With his consultation, Dr Liao asks if you have any questions or concerns and answers every question. Prior to any procedure, he ensures you are comfortable and tells you what to expect. He ensures you are never uncomfortable. Inputting an implant can be a very scary experience but to my surprise, it was a great experience and I will definitely go back to Dr Liao. I highly recommend him and I'm sure you will not regret it. Mahalo Dr Liao, for being great at what you do. read more

I'm happy and satisfied patient from the beginning. Doctors, their dental assistant and office staff are quick and professional. I Like their program for their implant. Visit once a year for five (5) years after your implant and you are covered for your implant for life if there's a problem. Thank you. JMills read more

Well organized, efficient, and caring staff. Always seen on time. The implant and follow up services were excellent.

Great dentist. Trying to save my teeth for many many years. Thank you Dr. Furuya for your candid opinion And congratulations for your retirement. Good luck and have a great retired life read more

Dr. Furuya and his staff are kind, supportive, and very helpful. Dr. Furuya is wonderful, he explains what he will do and why, and makes certain that I am not in pain or discomfort. read more

U know this place is going to be on point when your own dentist has his procedures done here...I was referred to Dr. Liao to do implants...he was excellent and always concerned about your pain levels...and he made sure to call to check up later on...and the price for the quality of service is very reasonable!! read more

Been going to Dr Furuya since I was referred to him by my regular dentist Dr Wong From the bone graph to the gum surgery and then the implant it was not a bad experience. I like Dr Furuya's style and he explains everything well. After every procedure he followed up in the evening with a call just to make sure you're okay He has a good staff and that's important to me because if the staff sucked then I would have bailed (I've dumped a doctor before because her staff sucked. ) His hygienist is Robyn and she's really good. A very thorough operation Would recommend Dr Furuya to anyone read more

I was referred to Dr Choy by my dentist, Dr Jaclyn Palola. They were able to schedule a visit quickly and at a great time (7:30am). I ended up being late because I went to the wrong hospital (duh!) but they were very understanding and accommodating. Kristi helped get me set up and Dr Choy was personable and friendly. Susanna explained the fees and options clearly and we were able to schedule my next visit to fit my schedule. For an initial visit, this was the best experience one could have. Everyone I met was great...highly recommended! read more

Just had my 4th annual checkup on the two implants by Dr Choi. Two thumbs up and all looking good. I need to maintain good dental hygiene and keep the gums healthy. Great to see Suzanne there in admin. Always pleased with Dr Choi's work and staff are friends over the years. Mahalo, Darrel read more

I was pleased with the friendly and politeness of the office staff, from the first phone conversation with the pleasant Regina Kwok to Yuko in her warm welcome and billing with Carol, who made us feel at ease, and confident in Dr. Ray Liao after he explained the procedures that I will have. read more

I had a tooth extracted and implant placed by Dr. Furuya. Office staff is very friendly and efficient. This office has been well planned in every detail and runs like clockwork. They are very organized which is rare. I was taken in at the scheduled time. The clinical staff was also friendly and efficient. It seemed like my comfort was a priority. Dr. Furuya made sure I was comfortable during the procedure and called me that evening to make sure everything was ok. I have received follow up phone calls at other clinics or doctors offices, but usually it's from a staff member, never the doctor himself. During the procedure, I got a text from the pharmacy telling me my prescriptions were ready. Did I mention they are organized? How many times have you felt frustrated because you waited way past your appointment time before seeing the doctor? How many times have you waited at the pharmacy because your prescription wasn't called in yet? How many times have you tolerated rude or inefficient staff because you like the doctor you're seeing? This has been a positive experience for me and I highly recommend Dr. Furuya and his staff. It is high quality care at an affordable price. read more

Top rated group is fulfilling my missing tooth with an implant. Great experience had on each visit. This is a year long procedure. Dr. Choy makes me feel relaxed and is very personable which makes the process easier. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this dental office. Dr. Ray Liao and his staffs are amazing, caring, patience people. Dr. Liao performed crown lengthening on me. He knows about my nervousness about getting numbed and the procedure itself and he took great care with me. I felt not pain what so ever and the whole time he made sure I was safe and comfortable. He also took his time off hours to answer all my questions and concerns. I honestly feel great. And also his assistant Sue, she was so gentle, sweet, and caring about my needs. She definitely made me felt like I could relay on her! I'm honesty so thankful I've went to them. read more

Dr. Furuya did great dental work for my mom. I know because I drive my mom to her appointments and I sit in on the visits since mom speaks Japanese and little English. They also have a dental staff member who is a Japanese interpreter also at no additional fee who serviced us on our consultation. Dr. Furuya is very patient explaining the procedure and even today, a year latter after the one year check l-up, my mom is happy with the results. The office is very clean, nice waiting room, nice chairs and big flat screen tv playing nicely produced music videos at low volume. Front desk staff, Lauren is very cheerful and professional. I recommend Dr. Furuya's services. read more

I was able to have a major portion of my dental implant done in one visit. From X-ray, extraction, cleaning, to consultation and insertion of new implant. Dr. Furuya's expertise, experience and knowledge was instrumental in a very successful visit. Now a 4-6 month wait for the bone to grow around the implant and fitting for a new implant tooth and I'll be fitted with a stronger and lasting tooth. Dr. Furuya's staff were great and provided all the information I needed to complete my visit. I even got a follow up call from Dr. Furuya checking on my condition. An extremely well run and operational office and practice. read more

Through Dr. Choy's diligence, my periodontal health has improved! I have never had a better dentist/peridontist than Dr. Choy, and I have had experience with others who only cared about how much money they could make. The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I have always hated going to the dentist, because of some negative experiences I have had, but going to Honolulu Peridontics + Implants is A okay! read more

Wonderful staff! Dr. F is the best! Going to miss him when he retires but Drs. Choy & Liao are awesome! And Robin is outstanding!! They are conscientious & very caring, especially with your follow up care after any procedures. If you need periodontal work &/or implants done, Honolulu Periodontics & Implants is the place to go! read more

Was referred here by my dentist for implants. Was greeted by very friendly staff who made me feel welcomed and less anxious. Dr. Choy was personable and knowledgeable, easily answering all my questions. They also provided several payment options. Great team of professionals! read more

I've been coming here for over ten years and it's always a great experience. They understand my fear of dentists. I see the dental hygienist every six months and the cleanings are efficient and painless. They've relocated to the St. Francis Physicians' office building in new space with upgraded equipment. I just learned that their pricing on services not covered by insurance is the beat in town without sacrificing quality. See them for a second opinion! read more

Updated review: I am pleased to update my review of my overall experience with Honolulu Periodontics and Implant and their staff. I am honestly glad I gave them a second chance. I love that they are warming and very sincere with each and everyone of their patients. I truly feel and see that Dr Choy is very compassionate and he wants nothing but the best for all his patients. Not only did he make me always feel comfortable the whole time but as well his staff. I truly recommend Dr Choy and Honolulu Periodontics to everyone. read more

Dr Choy rehabilitated my mouth. And he also saved me from decades of dental problems to come. I presented to Dr Choy in Seattle with dentition that hadn't had major (nor indeed enough minor) maintenance for a number of years. As well as wide-spread gingivitis (gum disease which hadn't particularly troubled me, but did have the potential to cause multiple tooth losses/deaths in time), I had a tooth that had become infected, died and was now abscessing the bone around it, so needed immediate extraction and infection control. Dr Choy took the offending tooth out both neatly and painlessly, and followed up with a graft to strengthen the supporting bone in preparation for the implant we agreed upon. In addition, there was extensive work below the gumline to eradicate my gingivitis, again carried out without any pain issues. At every step along the way to the healthier, more in-control, mouth I now have, Dr Choy was diligent, skilful and communicative. He always intelligibly explained and showed me onscreen what he found. He covered the treatment options and likely outcomes, and then followed through in a way that made me feel that he and I were successful partners in getting my mouth back into the shape to last me several more decades. One other thing - Dr Choy had to do a number of dental surgeries over the course of my treatment. He was assiduous in pain-control during these, and remarkably, his gentle work meant that in EVERY case, without exception, I was perfectly comfortable post-op even without taking the pain medications that he had prescribed. My wife is an ex-OR nurse, and as such she remarked that the surgeon must have been deft indeed for me to consistently have such comfortable and quick-healing post-op experiences. I also appreciated Dr Choy's follow-up phone call in the evening after every significant procedure. If you want a healthier and long-term trouble-free mouth (and who wouldn't?) then I whole-heartedly recommend Dr Choy as a doctor you can trust for the best experience and the best outcome. I would go to him again without hesitation - such a pity for me he now lives in Honolulu! read more

I totally recommend Dr. Choy as a competent, polite, and compassionate endodontist. Every staff member from the front desk staff to the assistants are wonderful folks. Their willingness to go the extra mile for patients is exceptional. A model for others. read more

The best. Did not have to wait even once past my appointment time. All staff are very polite and professional. The office is extremely clean. Dr. Choy is very skilled, friendly, and reassuring. He explains everything very well. I have only great things to say about my experience here and recommend it highly. read more

Excellent friendly and helpful staff. Took me almost immediately when I came in even though I was almost 15 minutes early. That was really helpful because I had a 9 am meeting and getting done with my appointment early ensured that I would not be late for that meeting. read more

I have serious anxiety over dental procedures. Especially when I found out my dental implant was going to be local anesthesia only!! But Dr Choy made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt no pain. I still have anxiety over the dentist, but I would go see Dr Choy anytime read more

Hi, If you need help go to Dr. Kenethy. He is great. Have a lot acknowledge what he's doing. I had two with him Amazing job. I really recommend! read more

Dr. Choy and his office staff are fantastic. Doctor Choy is the first Dentist to actually call and check on me after all procedures. He makes every attempt to control the pain during and after each visit. The best part is his pricing and the friendly atmosphere with the staff. read more

This is my first transplant and so glad that i was referred to Dr. Furuya at Honolulu Periodontics & Implants. The staff there are so friendly & nice. I was a little anxious before the procedure, but to my surprise it was in & out in just about 30 minutes. After the numbing went away i thought for sure i would feel pain...but it was all good!! Mahalo to everyone at the office for making my first experience non-traumatic read more

It is my pleasure to be able to write a review for Dr. Kenneth Choy, and Honolulu Periodontics & Implants. I was recently diagnosed with some severe tooth decay to two adjacent molars, which I was informed would require extraction by an Oral Surgeon. Following some extensive on-line research of my options regarding available Oral Surgeons, I chose to reach out to Honolulu Periodontics and Implants. I was able to communicate with their office via both phone and email, which made scheduling an appointment much easier. As one of the teeth became markedly more painful, his office immediately scheduled me for an 'emergency' appointment, when informed of my discomfort. Rather than waiting weeks for these very popular surgeons, I was scheduled to be seen in a few days. From the front desk reception staff, to the technicians performing x-rays and assisting during procedures, I was treated with friendliness, care and concern. Following a review of the x-rays, Dr. Choy, aware that I wished to keep the teeth if possible, recommended extraction of only one of the two severely decayed teeth, with the plan to better expose the cavity on the other tooth by manipulating the gum line. This would give me a chance to see if I could avoid extraction of that tooth. During that same visit, we proceeded with the extraction of the most seriously decayed tooth. Having never had a tooth extraction (except for my 4 wisdom teeth under sedation over 50 years ago), I was surprised at how effectively he and his staff managed to minimize my discomfort. Dr. Choy took the time to explain his strategy for managing both teeth, and entertained all of my questions and concerns. The molar was extracted succesfully by the skilled hands of Dr. Choy, and I was discharged home with clear instructions on what to do, and what not to do. I managed the minimal pain with a few doses of Ibuprofen. I never experienced significant pain, bleeding or discomfort. Dr. Choy even called me at home to check on my progress, and offered his personal cell phone number to call should I have the need. I've already completed my one week follow-up with Dr. Choy, and have remained pain free and comfortable. I do plan on returning to see Dr. Choy for an eventual implant, and highly recommend him and his staff for their expert skills and care. read more

I went to Dr. Choy for an implant. He did an excellent job with the tooth removal and the installation of the implant. He explained everything in detail before the procedure. He is highly skilled and efficient at what he does. I do need additional implants and have no reason to go anywhere else because of the competent and professionalism of this practice. The well being and care of the patients is always their first priority. The staff there is very cheerful and super pleasant to work with. It is always an exhilarating experience when you go there. I have very happy with the overall results and experience there! read more

Having dental implants done on two of my teeth was the best decision I made. My regular Dentist recommended Honolulu Periodontics / Dr. Kenneth Choy. I am totally satisfied with Dr. Choy and his entire staff. From the moment I walk into the office, everyone is super friendly and helpful. Dr. Choy explains the dental implant procedures and what I should expect. Very easy to talk to. Honolulu Periodontics is conveniently located at the former St Francis Hospital in Liliha. read more

I had an implant for a crown done a couple years ago. Dr. Furuya and staff were great and explained the process and procedure. Implant done without any issues and my new "tooth" has worked as expected. Friendly & efficient staff with good follow up. I would recommend Honolulu Periodontics to my friends and family without reservation. read more

Superlative service, thoughtful and patient staff members, and gentle and personable treatment at every level.
