I will start by saying I was petrified of going to the dentist. My journey with Dr. Okuda and his outstanding team started a little over two years ago. Before seeing Dr. Okuda, three other dentists suggested that I have all my teeth pulled and get dentures. I was devastated and Dr. Okuda was the first dentist to say that I didn't need to go with dentures. Dr. Okuda came up with a plan despite all the complications caused by my poor oral health. Through this journey, Dr. Okuda and his team have helped me overcome my fear and made me feel safe and comfortable at each and every appointment. The Wizard did his magic again and my results are unbelievable and beyond my expectations!! There are no words to express my gratitude. I was truly blessed to have found Dr. Okuda and his team and they will always have a special place in my heart!

I had my veneers done by Dr Okuda 7 years ago. Not only the cosmetic side was impeccable but also the functionality too. I would say what makes Dr Okuda's work exceptional is how his veneers look more natural.

From the very first consultation, Dr. Okuda understood my dental concerns, made me feel super comfortable and I completely trusted him after having a bad experience with another dentist. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. My experience was beyond my expectations and I absolutely LOVE my new smile!! His entire staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, they make you feel like you're apart of the Dental Day Spa family. Thank you Dr. Okuda for helping me gain that confidence again!

Definitely smiling a lot more these days.

Dr Okuda has a wonderful bedside manner and is equally as talented. He fixed our son's tooth following an injury. It looks perfect. Our son found everyone in the office incredibly kind! I would highly recommend Dr Okuda to anyone!

Never have I experienced a dental appointment akin to a luxury spa. Dr. Okuda has created an atmosphere unlike any other. His staff are incredibly courteous, caring, and attentive. The time and energy they expend to ensure you are comfortable and anxiety-free is second to none. Dr. Okuda's artistry is unparalleled. There is absolutely no one better to restore not only your smile, but your confidence. 10 stars and beyond!

AMAZING 10 STAR EXPERIENCE. You would not find a better dental team than the one at the Okuda office! A few years ago, my mom had her 4 front teeth knocked out and I had to find her a dentist that was an expert in cosmetic dentistry because my mom already had porcelains done before. She wasn't very satisfied with her previous set, so we didn't go back to that dentist. I spent a lot of time asking around and reading reviews online to find the perfect dentist for her. I came across Dr. Okuda's office and when we went for our first consultation, right off the bat we could tell how professional the team was. They were welcoming and very empathetic of my mom's situation. They were helpful and patient with me and mom. After our first visit, I didn't even bother looking or visiting another dental office. We were sold. They were extremely professional and thorough with mom's condition and what we had to do going forward. The team made us feel like we would be well taken care of and it was a big decision for us because it wasn't a simple job like getting a cavity filled, my mom would need reconstruction in her whole mouth so it could take 2-3 years. For the whole process, my mom had her old set taken out, implants done, and new porcelains put in. There were many visits within these 2-3 years and every time my mom went in and out with ease. When Dr. Okuda was busy with other patients, they would send in a masseuse to give her a massage and help her relax. I absolutely hate going to see the dentist, it makes me anxious and its painful, but my mom would never complain about her visits to the Okuda office and would also share with me how well she was taken care of. Mom jokingly suggested for me to save up some money so I can have my teeth done with Dr. Koufax too! THANK YOU to everyone at the Okuda office for taking such good care of my mom. WE ARE SO VERY GLAD that we chose the Okuda team for the job and my mom loves her new smile!

I cannot rave enough about Dr. Wynn Okuda. He has changed my life! His staff is amazing. Dessie the office manager did my initial consultation and without her I don't think I would have started this process. She is truly a blessing. Dr Okuda I'm convinced is a wizard because he truly preforms magic! But it's not magic. It's his skills and education that makes him so talented. He educates you in a way where it's easy to understand. I had a tough case. All my teeth were in really bad shape due to years of neglect. I was missing 9 teeth and some were black. I kept my mouth shut as much as could whenever talking to people which cause my face muscles to because weak. I honestly gave up on taking care of not only my smile but I gave up on taking care of self entirely. My self confidence was as at a 0. His team has changed my life. First and foremost I CAN NOW EAT! I had one pair of teeth that touched that I used to eat with which was beyond difficult. I was embarrassed about the missing teeth to the point that I wouldn't go out with friends let alone date. (I would be the last one on the table because it took me so long to eat)alI I do is just stay home and hide. I'm 28 years old and this has been torture for the past 10 years. I also was dealing with infections in my mouth which caused other Heath issues. They have changed my life and I can't be any more great-full. My experience was amazing. I suffer with anxiety and they made me feel comfortable. Amber his assistant is the most skilled dental assistant I've ever met! , Dani the message therapist made me feel relaxed thought out the entire procedure, Debora's calm energy helped with keeping the stress in the room to a minimal, Lisa the receptionist is so sweet and her positive energy just radiates through the phone and I can't forget about Irene! She kept me informed through out the process and got me the best smoothie I've ever had in my life! All in all I'm thrilled to have got my teeth done and I'm excited about my future. Screw the confidence part. I AM NOW HEALTHILY which confidence will follow after that. His top priority is your Heath! Then cosmetics come after. That's how it should be done. These people made me feel like I was part of their Ohana and I'm in forever debt to them all. I don't think they even realize what they have done for me. I've been studying doctors For so long and no one compares to Dr. Okuda and his team. He incorporates this spa like concept so you feel like your at a luxury spa while getting your smile make over. MAHALO TEAM OKUDA.

Dr. Okuda and his team are just incredible. I searched high and low for a cosmetic dentist to take care of a complicated issue with my front tooth. From doctors in New York to doctors in Los Angeles. No one could compare to Dr. Okuda's Skill and his attention to detail. He is a true artist. Dr. Okuda and his team knew how to put me at ease. I was always terrified of dental work, but they have changed that outlook for me with their outstanding warm and professional bedside manor before, after and during dental surgery. Thankyou so much Dr.Okuda and team you have gone above and beyond for me, I am so grateful!

I want to sincerely thank Dr. Okuda and his dental staff for my beyond satisfied dental experience. Dr. Okuda brought back my self-esteem and self-confidence. He took away my fear and anxiety of going to the dentist. I walked into his dental SPA when I turned 65 years old and I swear I came out looking 10 years younger!

Dr. Okuda and his staff are "Simply the Best"!!! I have always been terrified of dental appointments but they have worked with me to overcome my anxiety. Dr. Okuda has given me HOPE for restoring my teeth/smile when other dentists have recommended removing all teeth and going with dentures. My journey with Dr. Okuda is ongoing, but I am so blessed and excited to be so close to achieving our goal of a healthy smile and better quality of life. Words will never express my sincere gratitude and thankfulness for Dr. Okuda and his entire team!!!

I did the research and this is the professional to see. What an awesome experience and the outcome was truly remarkable. I've never been so relaxed during a visit to the dentist; the staff is fantastic. Thank You Dr. Okuda and your amazing staff too! Update: returned for a check up recently and again haven't felt this relaxed since 2019. Completely professional staff that follows covid guidelines in a very proactive way. I was well educated on best cleaning practices. I noticed the staff taking great effort to minimize the contact between people. Overall I reaffirmed, Dr. Okuda is the right choice and feel fortunate to have him as my Doctor!

My experience with Dr. Okuda and his team has been nothing short of perfection. Dr Okuda is a perfectionist. His attention to detail and meticulousness is unparalleled. Two of my family members received porcelain veneers from Dr Okuda 20 years ago and they still look impeccable. That's why when I decided I needed to upgrade my smile because of aesthetic and functional reasons Dr Okuda was the easy and trusted choice. I was scared that the process would be painful and effect my quality of life. But to be completely honest, the time I spent in Dr Okuda's Dental Spa was like a spa day. But better because you come out with a brand new and improved smile. The process was pretty painless and I was waited on hand and foot like the Queen. Lisa and Desi and all the ladies are truly incredible. It's crazy. I used to hide my smile. Smiling with my mouth closed was all I knew. Now, you can't get me to stop smiling. Even under my mask! Dr. Okuda and his team gave me the smile of my dreams. And I couldn't be happier. I also want to mention that I don't live full time in Hawaii, but in New York. I chose Dr Okuda because of his consistency, experience, and ability to always deliver. He looks at the whole picture. Aesthetic, function, and health. I would fly 10 hours to see him just to get a cleaning. I trust him implicitly and you should to. Lots of Aloha

I am proud and glad to have Dr. Okuda and his staff as my dentist. Everyone, I mean everyone, on his team are amazing professionals. The way they pamper the patients really takes away the stigma and anxiety of going to the dentist. They have this Dental Day Spa philosophy that is unreal. You have to experience to understand. I really enjoy my appointments! I love to smile and now even more so because of Dr. Okuda. I had a semi-emergency and needed to see Dr. Okuda at his first available opening and I was on a compressed timeline. His staff went out of their way to adjust their schedule to accommodate my needs. I can almost assure you that his customer service is unmatched by any dentist on the island and by any dentist office I know. I have ZERO regrets!
