From the moment I called, the team treated me with empathy and zero judgment. At my visit, the front desk was warm and organized, the hygienist was gentle yet meticulous, and Dr. Kuioka was exceptional. He took time to listen, walked me through what he was seeing and why, offered options without any pressure, and checked in frequently to make sure I was comfortable. The technology is modern, the office feels calm, and the entire appointment was smoother and more comfortable than I imagined possible. I left with a clear plan, confidence to follow through, and genuine gratitude. If you have anxiety about dental care--or you've been avoiding it--do yourself a favor and book with Dr. Kuioka. Compassionate, professional, and truly patient-centered. Highly recommend.

I went for my first consultation today and let me tell you, they use a lot of newer high tech technology, they are extremely thorough with checking each tooth and explaining what's going on, they not only share with people verbally but also show you what they're looking at on the tv screen as well. The hygienist, Janet, was so so nice and gentle - I really loved getting to know her better. And Dr. Koga was so personable, knowledgeable, and made me feel heard which is super important to me. Because they are so thorough you do need to come in quite a few times but I will say that they'll help create a customized plan for you on how to best take care of your teeth and the maintenance that comes with it. Definitely would recommend!

Despite the anxiety, I called Oral Surgery Hawai'i and took their first available appointment. I got stuck in a bit of traffic and got lost looking for their office and despite it all, the staff was super nice and helpful when I called. I'm a terrible dental patient, with extreme anxiety and definitely not someone that any dental professional looks forward to seeing in their office. I explained to the dental assistant my fears and she was super supportive and validated me sharing that even she was a nervous patient. Dr. Kitamura came in and introduced himself, explained the procedure and asked if I had any questions. I told him that I'm a terrible patient, explained how to best work on me without me running from the office (iPods in, sunglasses on with eyes closed and no play by play). Dr. Kitamura did exactly what I asked, only instructing me when to breathe and take deep breaths. The dental assistant was absolutely amazing and provided comfort and assurance throughout the procedure. The extraction took what felt like less than 10 minutes and i walked out in zero pain and feeling a sense of total relief. I'll be going back in a few months to start the process of getting an implant, and although I'll continue to be a terrified patient, I know I'll receive nothing but superior gentle care. Given that I haven't taken to Yelp in forever to share a review, that should speak volumes of my experience here today. If you're terrified of oral surgery, this office may just be the place for you.

Seeing the same level of dental care that my son received, business hours, closer commute via home, and work prompted an urgency to switch dentist. My only regret was not switching earlier. One of my friends also switched dental care to this office after reading the first review regarding my son's visits. I didn't find out till my dentist informed me and thanked me for the referral.

I switched over to this dental office about a year ago because of their ability to schedule exams and cleanings on the same day. In addition, for emergency cases, they can take you in pretty quick. Myself, my husband, and our oldest daughter all attend this office. Staff here is very friendly and outgoing. Doctors are great and have always able to assist us with different needs. I will say that most of my interactions are with Tina who sometimes is checking me in, or also there are to assist with any services that I have. Recently, I experienced a dental nightmare that put me in the ER twice in one week and ultimately I was sent to a specialist to get a root canal performed. After I got my root canal done in December the same tooth cracked before the new year started, and I went back to this office. When I got in touch with Tina about my cracked tooth, she was able to fit me in, and I was so worried that they were going to extract my tooth. This was the day that I met Dr. Chang! He assured me that he would be able to save my tooth, and that he did! His superpower is his kind heart and easy-going attitude. He communicated with me every step of the way about the process and what needed to be done. That day he added a temporary crown, and I did return a few weeks later for the permanent crown. I am truly thankful for his knowledge and skills. I love the customer care that I receive, the cleanliness of the office, and the speed of getting services done. I believe that Tina and Dr. Chang are true assets to the company just by being themselves. Patient care comes first for them and their only goal is to make sure we aren't in pain or uncomfortable. Their warm hearts make me smile when I see them, and I will continue to return and refer others because of the way they have helped me through my horrible dental season!

My experience with this dental office has been incredibly frustrating and time consuming. I tried…read moreto stick with them because the actual dental care was good. The dentist fixed a filling that I'd had done the year before. Both the dentists and dental hygienists were great. I tried to get retainers done here which resulted in repeatedly having to drive out there, I believe i had around 7 appointments there for this (possibly more). Apparently they'd switched companies and I was repeatedly given retainers that did not fit. Some of them which I wish I had photos to share were so poorly done it cut off half way through some of my teeth, others if I put it in on one side it would pop out on the other side. After repeating having them redone I requested a refund. The billing office refused to refund me until I brought it up with the dentist who was able to get me a refund. In oct they called me and said my insurance wouldn't pay for my dental care because there was a secondary insurance which I told them they need to take my health insurance down. They refused and told me to call which I did. I called my insurance who stated they would need to include my health insurance. I spent 30 minutes + on the phone having to facilitate this. When I did this person at the dental office I spoke to said they didnt have the address to send it to which I told them they could get online. They would not do this so while we were on the phone I Google searched and gave her the address and canceled my next appointment. In January I received a voicemail and invoice for all the dental care over the past year saying its still not paid for. I dont see any billing requests from them on my health insurance portal so no idea if they sent that or not. Highly recommend you go elsewhere to avoid wasting so much time and energy. Updates: I called my dental insurance on 1/9/26 and they said they couldn't pay yet as the dental office still had not filed with my primary insurance. I called the dental office to give them my primary insurance again. 1/28/26 - received voicemail stating I hadn't paid my bill 1/31/26 - pearl Ridge dental still has not filed with my primary insurance 2/22/26 - still no billing of my primary insurance and the dental office sent me mail with an upcoming appointment that I already cancelled

BEST VENEERS EXPERIENCE…read more Dr. Keileen Fukada and Premier Dental Group helped me close a gap between my top front teeth. The experience was surprisingly comforting and I felt at ease working with Dr. Fukada and the premier dental team. During my first visit, I was very nervous and scared because my teeth were going to be shaved down a bit. However, I was comforted by their professionalism and expertise on the matter. I was also having anxiety around which shade or shape would look best. Thankfully, Dr. Fukada helped me through this process with her expertise and experience. I left the dental office that day realizing I went with the right dental team for this veneer procedure because they were so comforting and I knew I could trust their decision making. Premier Dental provided me with temporary veneers for 3 weeks and they gave me the heads up that I may experience some tooth sensitivity because the dentin layer would be exposed. When I returned for the permanent veneers, I knew I was in the best hands possible and they got right to it. Something about Dr. Fukada is she's a master at numbing... no intense pain!They drilled a bit to create a bonding surface and then bonded the veneers to my teeth. Based on my experience, I've come to realize the veneers process is very complex and can get confusing at times. Fortunately, Dr. Fukada and the Premier Dental team were very experienced and caring. I knew I could trust them and I knew they had my best interest in mind! I recommend Dr. Fukada and Premier Dental Group for cosmetic dentistry. ZERO REGRETS! (See photo below)

I trusted Premier Dental Group Aiea and Dr. Keileen Fukada to help close a small gap between my…read morefront teeth, but the experience was traumatic and unprofessional. On my very first visit, my teeth were shaved down without a proper consultation, preview, or discussion of the design plan. There was no wax-up, no mock-up, and no real chance to pick a shade or shape. I was rushed through the procedure without being fully informed of the risks or how much of my healthy enamel would be removed. I then had to live with fragile temporary veneers for three weeks, experiencing tooth sensitivity, anxiety, weight loss, and regret. When I came back for the permanent veneers, they were completely wrong: yellow, wide, and unnatural. I was numbed and drilled before even seeing them, then expected to approve them on the spot. When I rejected them, the doctor only offered to remake them "one shade whiter and a little longer/skinnier," but again gave me no preview, no reference pictures, no tools to confirm the plan, and sent me home still scared and confused for another two weeks. After I strongly insisted, I was finally sent to the lab to pick a custom shade. The lab technicians were far more caring and helped me select a color from a completely different shade guide, far better than anything the doctor had suggested. It shocked me that if I hadn't complained repeatedly, I would have ended up with another failed set of veneers. Dr. Fukada even told me mock-ups are only for "full mouth" cases -- that is unfair and unacceptable. I don't understand how a dentist could disregard a patient's wishes so completely and strip away their right to make informed decisions. This process has left me with weeks of mental stress, tooth pain, regret, and a huge loss of trust. I cannot recommend Premier Dental Group Aiea for cosmetic dentistry, and I hope they seriously improve their patient communication and ethics.

My 19- year old daughter went to Dr. Pamaplon on a referral from her pediatric dentist. She needed all 4 wisdom to be removed. Trying to make an appointment was difficult. Took one full day for someone to call me back and schedule an appointment. Nevertheless I brushed it off. No biggie. Day came for the procedure and the receptionist/front girl was a little sassy but that was also fine and we were unbothered. Gave us 4 pages, front and back, to fill out. 10 minutes later after filling everything out, we went in. Doctor gave us the breakdown of the procedure. Asked us what type of numbing we wanted, laughing gas or anesthesia. We opted for laughing gas. She did not fast for 8 hours. My daughter stayed in the room and I left to the waiting room which is about the size of a 12x12 room. Nurse peeked in and whispered something to the front girl. The front girl made a comment "we can always change our minds..." then called me over and said since I changed the type of numbing the cost is more for the procedure. That's not a problem. But she still felt the need to make a comment about "us changing our minds". Procedure was quick, that was great. The worst part was the numbing she said. Everything was fine after that. About a week later, my daughter was having pain on one side. Tried calling all morning 8-12 and no response. I told her to walk in and talk to the front girl to make an appointment since no one was answering the phone. They told her she had to wait as a "walk in". They ended up getting her an appointment for the following day at 2pm. 2pm comes the following day, Dr.Pampalon did the numbing (injections) and pain which was expected. Then he proceeded to dig into her gums, scraping gum tissue. She could feel ALL of it. He didn't care, didn't ask if she was ok, didn't ask if it hurt. She was kicking her feet while tears ran down her face. She made every indication she was in pain and he SAID NOTHING TO HER. When he was done he walked out, rushed out the door as though he was late for his next victim. His assistant looked at my daughter and asked if the pain was from the numbing. My daughter replied "no! It was from him scraping my gums! I could feel all of it!" She calmly said "oh ya we had to get all the tissue in case it was infected". NO APOLOGIES, NO CONSIDERATION! She had tears running down her face! Bawling. Dr. Pampalon was so unprofessional and insensitive and didn't have any human dignity. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. I'm ashamed and feel like a terrible mother for sending her there and not being there when this happened. Think twice before booking your oral procedures here.
