    This is the best dentist you'll ever go to. After about 15 years of not seeing a dentist I was very worried about what going back would be like but the experience has been so wonderful. A cleaning which we originally thought would take a few months in totality got done in 3 weeks thanks to the help of the wonderful ladies at the front desk. Dr. Dana Adachi and all of the hygienists there were extremely helpful and were so kind, patient and supportive with me. I genuinely don't see myself going to another dentist ever again. It's very rare I do a survey but I absolutely had to for this dentist's office, I would highly recommend to anyone for any reason you see fit to go to the dentist. Thank you to everyone there and I am looking forward to my next visit in my journey to have healthier teeth!

    Kakaako Smiles Dentist exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, the warm and friendly staff made me feel at ease. The office is impeccably clean and modern, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Dr. Dana is not only highly skilled but also compassionate, taking the time to explain procedures thoroughly. The attention to detail in my treatment plan was impressive, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout my visit. I left with a brighter smile and a newfound appreciation for top-notch dental care. Kakaako Smiles Dentist is undoubtedly a gem in the dental industry.

    Front desk is efficient. I never have to wait more than 5mins. Doctors promote an environment where i can ask questions and i do not feel intimidated. They are patient with my questions and i appreciate that a lot. Also, i have had sensitivity issues for a long time. I moved nearby earlier this year and decided to start going to Kakaako smiles. they did some fillings to address my sensitivity. I guess i havent even noticed it has gone away because when I went back yesterday for my 6 mo. Cleaning, i braced for the pain that my sensitive teeth always bears from the cold cleaning water, but wow zero pain!! It is almost so weird that i dont feel any pain and sensitivity anymore because i have had it for so long i just know that my body automatically braces for that pain. Overall, i am impressed with the doctors, hygienists, and staff!!

    Dr. Adachi and Kaka'ako smiles are honestly the best dentist and dental office I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The administrators Lea and Jan are always welcoming and incredibly helpful with scheduling. They always make sure I have what I need and check in with how things are going. Every hygienist I have worked with is caring, skilled, and professional. Last and of course not least, Dr. Adachi truly is a credit to the medical and dental community of Hawaii. He always quickly yet carefully can identify what dental care is needed and provides a calming, reassuring presence in the office. His skill and experience is evident in everything he does from routine checks to delicate procedures. I highly recommend Dr. Adachi and Kaka'ako smiles to anyone looking for a dentist in Honolulu.

    I paid for an expensive bite guard with Dr. Adachi and wore it faithfully every day for about a year. It’s meant to prevent wear and tear on teeth from grinding. But during that time I lost two molars on the bottom, in the back where the jaw hinges. Clearly, the bite guard did not do its job, but it also made the problem much worse. I won’t bore y’all with the horror story of expensive specialists, a root canal, an abscess, and a crown that kept breaking off while eating, (all for nothing as it ended in extraction anyhow). But I will say I used to wake up with new pain at the back of my jaw after wearing the guard at night. And I could feel the pressure there while clenching my teeth with the guard in. Though it didn’t appear to be rubbing at the dentist office, while making adjustments on the guard, clearly it was. I understand businesses having to be careful about what they apologize for and avoiding liability. But at the very very least, they could have refunded me for the bite guard as it did not do its job, and I would never ever wear it again. Instead I got apologies for the tough luck, and an offer to adjust the bite guard, which somehow falls short of being helpful.

    Everyone is super friendly. They really make you feel like your in control of what's happening. There's rarely any pain to the point that I've almost fell asleep during a procedure. When there is pain just tell them and they will take care of it right away. Best dentist I've been to worth every penny. :)

    I have been going for 2 years now and Dr. Gerald Adachi is the only person I trust. I always have a seamless experience. Any dental work I have had done is always explained to me in an easy to understand manner.

    Just had another 6-month visit and walked out feeling so great! I’ve been going to Dr. Adachi for the past two years now and I have such a positive experience every time! I started going to this office after a few years of not having any dental care, and I never once felt shamed, afraid, or uncomfortable. All of the staff is incredibly kind and dedicated to making sure that their clients feel good and cared for, and I love coming in and feeling like a friend to those I see. I strongly recommend choosing Kaka‘ako Smiles as your dental care provider. They are, without a doubt, one of the best, if not the absolute best dentists’ office on O‘ahu!
