I don't like going to the dentist but I made an appt and made it. I had a very pleasant experience. New patients names are displayed which was welcoming. From the time I walked thru the door, I was greeted and within minutes they called me in. As soon as I sat down, I was informed of everything she was doing. No surprises. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I love love love this dentist. I came here twice so far and both times have been wonderful experiences. Now, I'm someone who is absolutely terrified of the dentist at my big age lol and each time I communicate this to the staff, they do everything to make me feel good. They don't judge, they don't make me feel stupid, they make my anxiety calm down so much. Even the dentist is super friendly. At other locations I been to, the dentist are so rude and don't care how you're feeling they just wanna get the job done and get paid..SMH! But the dentist here are true professionals. I highly recommend this dentist office, AMAZING! read more

This business is close to home and I'm so grateful! I first came here back in 2019 when I had HDS insurance and they fitted me for a night guard. All the employees are so helpful and friendly, I had a traumatic experience when I was younger and I have avoided going to the dentist as much as possible. Now I have United Concordia again and I haven't been to the dentist in over 20 years. It was time I had my teeth cleaned and xrayed. Once again it was so easy to make an appointment. My hygienist was so fun! She made my appointment so comfortable. Also, despite not going to the dentist for so long, I only have two cavities! I was told that I had great genetics and my self care helped as well :)! I went back a few days later for the fillings and Dr. Brittany and her assistant were awesome! Repeat patient and I would definitely recommend! read more

Came here because my crown fell out. My regular dentist is on vacation & the other person they referred me to is not opened on Monday. I was looking for a new dentist so it all worked out. I went to the Ewa Beach location but in a few weeks they're gonna open another office in kapolei. Which I scheduled my cleaning with them for kapolei. The doctor was kind, gentle & very helpful. I'm glad I got to see this dentist, so excited for what awaits! read more

I'm writing this for my mom. She had to have work done for her dentures and the dentist did an amazing job and improved from her previous dentist job (gentle dental in waianae which she says was awful). She loves this dentist and team. read more

Absolutely Amazing Experience at Laulani Dental Care! I had a dental emergency and was in a lot of pain. Even though the office was busy, they went above and beyond to get me in the same day--which I am so incredibly grateful for. Dr. Brooke Burgess Uperesa was truly the best dentist I've ever had in Hawaii. I originally came in just for an exam, as treatment appointments were booked out for months. But after seeing how much pain I was in, Dr. Uperesa made the time to treat me within that same 1-hour visit. That level of care and compassion is rare to find. Hands down, the best dental experience I've ever had. Highly recommend Laulani Dental Care and Dr. Uperesa! read more

I experienced a bad fall at work and severely chipped my front tooth. After calling 10+ times with no answer and in said call, they claim they are open on the first and third Sunday of every month. I finally decided to go in person just to find out that they're actually closed. Don't claim you're open on these days just for patients who really need your care to come and be disappointed and left in pain. Never trying again read more

They always take care of you here! Always a great experience for me and Im one who always gets anxiety at the dentist. They make you feel at ease every step of the way. read more

I had a scheduled appointment for teeth cleaning and check up. Coincidentally two days prior I came down with a severe tooth ache. I told the hygienist of my situation and she took some X-rays immediately. The X-rays revealed that I had a dark spot in the tooth in question and that it may be a cavity. She was able to clean around the tooth without any problem and notified Doctor Kim. Doctor Kim informed me that I in fact had a large cavity that was causing the severe pain. The option was a root canal or the removal of the bad tooth. I elected to do the root canal. I was expecting to be told to make a new appointment since I was only scheduled for teeth cleaning and a check up. But Doctor Kim was able to do a partial root canal immediately so I wouldn't suffer from the pain and he referred me to an endodontist for a follow up. I have to say that Doctor Kim's front office staff was very nice, his hygienist, and his assistant who assisted Doctor Kim with the partial root canal. I have to say Laulani Dental Care is definitely the best dental business that I have ever been to in my life...and that a lot to say since I'm nearly 65 years old! read more

My family and I have been going to Laulani Dental care for quite a few years now, and we have always been happy with the level of care we receive. The office is clean and modern, and very efficient. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative. I really appreciated that this office was very mindful of patient and staff safety around the covid pandemic period as well. Recently, a family member was visiting from out of town and had a tooth "emergency" and needed to be seen right away. Even though Laulani was booked for the next couple days they were nice enough to refer the family member to another 5 star dentistry office nearby to see if they had appointment availability (which they did)! We really appreciate Laulani's recommendation and support! read more

Love this dentist office. Everyone is awesome, professional and highly efficient and knowledgeable. It takes a lifetime to find a great dental office and I think I found it. read more

Kind, honest, and skilled professionals! Every time I've come in I've had a very positive experience-- from the front desk receptionists to hygienists to dentists. They have cutting edge equipment, and even TVs on the ceiling to watch during cleanings (such a nice cherry on top)! Very affordable pricing. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I have finally found a dental clinic that meets my standard of care. It took about a month wait to be seen by their staff for an initial routine cleaning, however they were able to accommodate me a week early due to a cancellation. Located on the 2nd floor suites above Buffalo Wild Wing, their waiting area is pretty compact. A minor inconvenience, as they do take you into the treatment room quite quickly. Wouldn't recommend you bring any guests to your appointment, as seats and space is limited. Hygienist and dentist that completed my cleaning and checkup were professional and polite. They got me in and out in a timely matter, all while being thorough with my visit. Very excited to report, no cavities! Thank you for the comprehensive care, Laulani Dental. read more

Absolutely best dental experience ever! EVERYONE is so nice! It makes a difference! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a smile and everyone after that makes you feel comfortable, like they're happy to see you. You're treated like a guest, not a patient. I called in with an achy tooth and they got me an appointment the next morning. They were quick and efficient. They took extra precautions for Covid. They even have air purifiers in all the rooms. They think of everything here! They have all the newest equipment. You can tell they invest in their business and don't cut corners. I felt like I was in good hands. I watched Netflix on the ceiling mounted television while they worked on my tooth. No stress and my tooth feels much better! This is a great place for kids and adults! I bring all my kids here too! read more

Dr Brooke and her team are awesome! Very friendly and helpful. Thanks for taking care of me :).

I switched dentist since I was tired of spending more time in traffic due to the restrictions lifting. So I decided to find a practice that was close to my house. It was probably the best decision I have done in a while. I'm not a big fan of dental offices when it comes to me, but I had a great experience. Although I had to wait about a month before my appointment, I had no problem with that. It was easy to get an appointment through their website. They called me to confirm the date and time. Days before the appointment, I was able to do the online registration forms so I didn't have to do it in office. It was very easy to input my information, and also to upload documents needed. This morning, I did receive a text message to check in when I get into the parking lot. It was easy to find parking and also to find their office right above Panda Express. I walked into the office, and the first thing that I saw was this whiteboard that says "Welcome New Patients", and there is listed the new patients of the day which of course included myself. That definitely put a smile on my face. Long story short, my hygienist was Shannon and she was great! The assistant, which I totally apologize I forgot her name, but she was very friendly as well. They both explained everything that they were doing step by step. I am low key excited for my next 6 month appointment. LOL. read more

I was so looking forward to thisDental appointment with Dr. Brooke. I was scheduled to fix a crown and also, get my 2 front teeth that have been chipped and cracked fixed. I was feeling a little self conscious about smiling only because I thought people were always staring at it. Upon starting to fix it - Dr. Brooke noticed I had a cavity on the back of one of the tooth. I was already running into her lunch hour but, she graciously told me that she will fix it since I was already there. She was assuring me the entire time I was there. I cannot express how thankful I am to have Laulani Dental Care in our Community to serve us. They are definitely going to be here for a long time! Kudos to the Staff and Dr. Brooke read more

I had a crake tooth removed that's been bothering me for years and they took for good care of it. I'm so happy to have a dentist that so awesome as well as the office staff. read more

First time visit and the staff was very friendly, answered all my questions and had me doing X-rays in less than 5 minutes from my appointment time. Great first impression!!!Awesome Job Laulani Dental Care!!! Unlike Gentle Dental in Makakilo a few weeks ago on my first visit when after 25 minutes past my appointment time and I was still waiting in the lobby to be seen. The Gentle Dental staff called me 5 minutes later (30mins) after I had already walked out and started driving home to inquire where I was. "Brick & steel are a strong foundation for a business to last forever, however poor customer service will ultimately make the business crumble" read more

We called everywhere. My GF was in extreme pain and she is a strong woman. (Between me, you, and the fence post, she'd probably could beat me up) so when she was crying from pain, I knew this was serious. Called 12 places that said, "no appointments for 1 month, or we are just a family practice" wtf?! If you ever hear a dental place say that, that's them saying we aren't a regular dentist and have only DA's that graduated from Phenix Medical College (which is another rip off scheme) and just tax insurance companies for as much as they can get, along with hefty co-payments. Another place quoted 1200 just to start without even seeing her. But Laulani Dental Care was completely different. Dr. Brook Uperesa was amazing and even made time for her. And now, my life is better because you all know the drill, if mama (or papa if you're gay) is not happy, no one is happy. And now everyone is happy. I would give 10 stars if I could. But based from my experience of trying to find a dentist that had staff that showed empathy and compassion was really hard, but as for this place, they were really helpful, nice, understanding of the pain my gf had and were prompt to servicing us quickly. I'm not sure if they take Medicaid? But that would be super awesome due to me having Medicaid and my GF having real insurance. So, that's my only question I forgot to ask. Dr Brook Uperesa and her practice she runs is by far the best I have ever encountered. Thank you guys :)!! read more

I've been to another dentist in Pearlcity for the same teeth (1 on each side) over again! I asked for it to be pulled (a lot of things wrong w it!) and that dentist kept putting it off and doing other alternatives for my mouth and requiring more appointments over again! Fast forward to me leaving that dentist and finding Laulani on Yelp! I came to this dental office here, first appointment, I asked for it to be pulled and guess what? It was done! First appointment! Thanks doc! read more

just now I had procedure scheduled to extract a wisdom tooth. I called the morning of and asked if they could send pain meds prescription ahead of time to Walgreens so I could go home immediately after procedure. Receptionist said ok. I called fours later to follow up. SAME receptionist giggled and said she never got around to it. Then tells me standard procedure is to call in meds while I'm in surgery. I explained im by myself and didn't want to wait around forever in Walgreens. She just brushed me off. Very rude and lack of customer service. Dealing with patients might need more retraining. I asked for meds to be sent day of procedure and she acted like I asked for illegal substances. I have always been able to get meds prepped ahead of time but maybe the process was over her head. Looking at other offices who appreciate their patients and don't treat them like an inconvenience read more

After years of avoiding the dentist due to anxiety, a bad toothache finally made me realize that it was time to get back in the dentists chair. I chose Laulani Dental Care because of all the amazing reviews here on Yelp and boy am I glad I did! I felt welcome and safe from the moment I made the appointment. COVID Guidelines are clearly communicated and followed. They even have medical grade air purifiers in the waiting room and in each exam room to ensure a safe and healthy environment. They also limit the amount of people in the waiting room at a time to allow space for social distancing. The exam itself was excellent. At the cleaning, the hygienist made sure to communicate every step of the process and always made sure to check in with me to make sure I was comfortable. I ended up needing a root canal, which Dr. Brooke took care of quickly. I was nervous about that but I knew it was necessary. Dr. Brooke did such a good job numbing me and making sure that I was comfortable that I barely thought about what was going on. It did help that I was able to watch Netflix and Disney Plus during the procedure! Overall, it was a great experience all around. I am actually looking forward to my next dental cleaning - and I never thought I would say that! read more

I never really found it exciting to go to the dentist. I don't like the atmosphere and procedures due to horrible experiences as a kid. However, my teeth needed some TLC. With my move to 'Ewa Beach, I had to leave my 'town life' behind. That meant finding a new dentist close to home. Luckily, my roommate has been to Laulani Dental and told me how amazing her experience was. I called and I booked me for a cleaning and exam. This dentist office is located in the Laulani shopping center above Buffalo Wild Wings. Plenty of parking and their is access to an elevator or stairs to get you to the second floor. When I walked in, I was greeted but smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. They have a tv playing peaceful and relaxing music as you walk in to check in. They also offer free coffee and water as you wait. Besides the clean lobby and friendly workers, what caught my eye was a small white board on the reception desk. This white board said " Welcome" and it name on it along with all the other new clients. That small gesture of aloha really made my day. As well as the amazing service from all the staff. The cleaning went quick and it was painless. I also enjoyed the attention to detail in everything. To the tv on the ceiling for clients to watch when they are laying back in the chair to the respectful staff. I would recommend this to ALL. read more

The Laulani Dental office is very easy to find and if you book your appointments early enough then parking should never be a problem. Their office is located on the second floor in the two story building in the far corner of Laulani Shopping center. It is right above the nail shop. It is very accessible, with an elevator for wheelchairs or for the fit & fab and everyone's favorite...stairs! If you're coming from up the stairs you want to make a left, and if you're stepping out of the elevator then make a right. Go down the beautiful clean and new hall and you'll see Laulani Dental. Let me tell you, I've been for a few dentists in my life and Dr. Kim's is definitely the winner of the most beautiful. Who ever did the interior decorating or who ever he hired to dream up this lovely office, did an AMAZING job. It takes you away from the normal dentist offices and completely takes your mind off of the fact your even at a doctors office! The offer some cool perks like free WiFi (password is on the wall), water, and hot coffee or tea. Dr. Kim and his staff go above and beyond satisfying and making their patients happy and comfortable. I've gotten my teeth cleaned three times here and have had one of my fillings (that was done by another dentist) repaired. Every visit, I have not once ran into a rude or unfriendly staff member. Everyone from Dr. Kim's receptionist, dental hygienist and Dr. Kim himself, has been amazing! Overall, I think I'm set on Laulani Dental. Nothing can beat the staff and location. read more

My Sister in law referred me to you folks because she had dentures done there and was completely satisfied with the procedure done. I was going to another dentist and they had no bedside manners so to speak of and that turned me off. I called to make an appointment and got one really quick and professionally done over the phone. On the day of my appointment I got treated professionally again and my questions and concerns were addressed professionally again. I would refer anyone to his dentist for they have my 5 star rating. The staff is awesome, the office is clean, it's soothing to go there, they got it on!!! read more

Quick service, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very clean environment. They answered all my questions

Second time coming here. So far my experience has been great. The front staff to the clinical staff are friendly. I saw Dr. Brooke and she's thorough and takes the time to listen. She also has great bed side manners. I'm glad I found a dentist near home and on top of that the hours are great. Looking forward to my next cleaning! read more

I am in awe this is the BEST dental office I have ever been too. The staff was awesome Daniel made my experience great and Dr Brooke was so easy to talk with and very knowledgeable. The cost was so reasonable it blew my mind. I can't wait for my outcome and will post beautiful smile I recommend anyone who really need a Dentist to make your appointment HERE!!! read more

Dr Brooke & staff are just amazing. It takes a lot of numbing meds to numb me up. Previous dentists would poke my mouth sooooo many times that after my procedure that would actually hurt for day's. Since I've found Dr Brooke she just knows her stuff and basically knows exactly where and how to inject the meds so it takes less for me to get numb. She quick efficient and she constantly asks if you're ok during the process. Her staff They are friendly & one thing I love is they are discreet. I've been to other offices where they announce your business to the entire office. I love that you get to watch Netflix while you get worked on haha. I'm glad I found Laulani Dental. read more

I am so happy that I found this dental office. For years and I mean years, I have had issues with a bridge that was placed by my previous dentist. I've searched around for a dentist to help me relieve the pain that the bridge was causing but they all referred me back to the dentist who placed it. Dr. Brooke was the only dentist who not only saved me as she informed me that I had an infection on the teeth the bridge was on but she also did treatment at my first appointment! I seriously appreciate her for her outstanding dental work and her professional chairside manner!! I definitely recommend anyone that needs dental care to visit Dr Brooke and the great staff at Laulani Dental! read more

Awesome! Is my experience, from the time I opened the door, the office is very welcoming, it has decorations for Halloween, free coffee/water/tea. And our names are on the board for new patients. Friendly front desk. Staff professional. Dr Brooke is fabulous! Explained every step and procedure. I told her I am scared, she re-assure me not to. The Netflix movie calmed my nerves, that's an added bonus. Highly recommended. read more

I HATE the dentist. Haven't been there for a looong time but I had to go. I found Laulani dental Care on Yelp. Perfect 5 stars, love what their customers have been saying so I made an appointment. I'm really impressed once you walk into the office, very cleaned, chairs are comfortable, has free WiFi, computers I guess if you want to go on the internet, helping yourself to coffee or tea, has a welcome board with their new customers names & front desk was super duper nice. Welcomed you right away, filled out paperwork's. Couple of minutes your in the door. When your laying down theirs a television up on the ceiling which is so cool. When your in there for couple of hours, time will fly really quick. They tell you everything what their going to do.

So Ive been at this dentist for 2 cleanings and one wisdom tooth removal. So far so good! The staff is very friendly and i really like my hygienist, she explains everything she does prior to doing it. I do have one complaint though, might sound a little silly but when they rinse my mouth during the cleaning the water taste like pipe water which ive never experienced at any of my other dentist offices. Maybe i have sensitive taste buds but i cant stand that taste, lol. read more
