Welcome to Island Ohana Dental. We are a family practice not only because we see patients of all ages (adults, parents, grandparents and children), but because our dentists are also a family Dr. Garret Uehara and Dr. Jill Uehara are brother and sister. They are thankful to have been raised in Hawai'i by their parents, Ruby and Sueo Uehara, who instilled in them a strong sense of morality, taught them the importance of respect, diligence and the value of hard work and to always be respectful and considerate of others.
With our ohana of dedicated and caring staff, our mission is to provide lifelong care for our patients with an emphasis on prevention and maintenance in a comfortable and friendly environment. We hope youll come visit us in the Ala Moana Building adjacent to the Ala Moana Shopping Center. New patients are always welcome. We love to make you smile!
We know your time is valuable and we understand that a visit to the dentist can cause anxiety for some. Doctors Germaine, Jill and Garret focus their practice on providing gentle, comprehensive and affordable dental care for children and adults. To this end we offer:
The doctors believe that less dentistry is better. Their desire is for each of their patients to attain and maintain optimal dental health so that the need for more aggressive dental treatment due to tooth decay is eliminated or minimal. With this goal in mind, the doctors encourage regular exams and cleanings as well as good preventative hygiene education and home care.
No matter how diligent we are in taking care of our teeth, however, some tooth decay is a reality for most patients. The doctors are trained to provide all forms of general dentistry, including fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, extractions and porcelain veneers. They also have several years of specialized training for implants.
Your relationship with your dentist or any other healthcare provider is a partnership. The doctors believe that quality care and state of the art technology are only part of the solution to great oral health for their patients. They also strive to provide an environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions and where patients questions are answered fully and completely. Each of our patients is like family to us, and we feel it is a privilege to serve your dentistry needs.
