Visited for the first time today, and it was the most thorough cleaning I’ve had in years. My teeth feel so sparkly! And because fall break, I called ahead to ensure I could bring my 5 year old with me. Not only were they accommodating, but they allowed her in the exam room with me, listened to all her stories, and even gave her a kid’s toothbrush and toys when we left.
Truly grateful to have found this place.

Dr. Erik DUNKELBERGER and his assistant Harriet are LIARS and CROOKS! We have dental insurance which Kailua Dental Care accepts. My son was supposed to see Dr. Sonson(owner of the practice)and he got Dunkelberger instead. It turns out that Dunkelberger was 'Out of Network' for our insurance and charged us a ridiculous amount of money. Beware of who you see in the office - Dunkelberger/Harriet will steal clients and charge a ridiculous amount.

Today I had 3 teeth extracted at Kailua Dental Care. I was worried at first but Kailua Dental Care took me step by step through the process they were able to do and reassured me that everything was going to be as quickly and painlessly as possible. Their staff & surgeons were very kind, caring, knowledgeable & professional. I’m happy to have Kailua Dental care as my family dentist 💯🤙🏽

Another wonderful appointment today. The staff & ambience are simply fantastic. Ample parking in front & a cool, calm & friendly atmosphere. I like that they have evening availability as well. Always greeted ever so pleasantly by the receptionists & today my hygienist was Neal. He was amazing! Gentle & thorough, didn't rush & very passionate about his work. Looking forward to my next cleaning with my favorite dental team.

Gael, what a lady! The thing about a great dentist is there willingness to go above and beyond what is expected. I would not hesitate to call this place my second home because I'm always there because of bad teeth. They fix me up right every time and I know because I've been to hundreds of dentists. Yes, hundreds. This dentist reminds me of the dentist I had as a kid and the manager, Gael is like the fairy God mother with her calm demeanor and willingness to help. I moved to the big island but will gladly fly back just to see Ms. Gael and because Dr. Colon is A REALLY GREAT dentist.

They are extremely professional, I have been to many dentist having to get work done. They made me feel comfortable and informed me about everything I may be feeling depending upon nerve sensitivity. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing dentist, and as an added bonus they also offer payment plans even if your uninsured.

I enjoyed my experience at Kailua Dental care. Not only is Kailua Dental care high tech and well equipped, but most importantly, the staff was friendly and helpful. And they took me at the last minute, since my tooth crown had just broken. I enjoyed the dentist, Dr. Ivan Colon, who worked on me. He is a tooth-artist, and did a fabulous job to fix the broken crown which was in the front, as well as to tweak some previous dental work from 40 years ago. I'm glad my crown broke, for now my smile is better than before. I'm not biased, but Dr. Colon is my son. ;-) HA!

This was the least helpful dentist office I had ever encountered. Through my job- they were the only the one closest to home that I could sign up for, so I did. Didn't have to visit until I had an infection. So I call and call and they tell me no appointments available. So I'm in pain and I go to a different dentist. They managed to call me back couple days back and I was right on the footsteps when this Kailua DC called me to say they MIGHT have an availability for me. Get this- the girl is Laughing (!) at me explaining how upset I am of their lack of availability and options. I just

Never go here! I had my tooth "fixed" today. Problem being they fixed the WRONG tooth. At the end of July I went in because the second from the back tooth, bottom left had been giving me problems. By the time I got in, it was only bothering me occasionally. I had had a crown done on the upper second to the back tooth so I mentioned that it also bothered me occasionally. Dentist did some adjustment on that. Also did sensitivity test on the tooth I complained about as well as others. NEVER once did he say that tooth is NOT the problem. So I go back in after I got home and noticed it was

I just had a filling and a crown replaced by Dr Calon today. The procedure lasted about two hours, had 3 needles to num the nerves. Never felt any of the needles going in and the entire procedure was painless. Dr. Calon is a perfectness , spent a great deal of time getting not only the bite perfect but also the tooth color on the crown perfect..

For having to have a molar yanked from my jaw, I couldn't have had a better experience, really. I came in for an exam + x-rays yesterday, and they were able to get me in for an extraction this morning. Dr. Colón is quite skilled, and very personable. I barely felt a pinch when I was numbed up, and was out pretty quickly.
I have had a lapse in my dental coverage recently, and they have been extremely accommodating. And unlike EVERY other time I have been to a dentist, I didn't feel like they were out to get as much $ out of me as possible. 11/10 would recommend this dental office.

Kailua Dental Care is easy to find, and in a nice building. I walked in and was led back to a chair, and got the feeling that nobody working there wanted to be there. The hygienist saw me first, slightly odd that her greeting was, "I'm not the person you want to see, but will start the exam and the dentist will be in shortly." Sure, ok and your name is? After some small talk she asked if I used a flouride toothpaste. I told her I did not, and she got a little sharp in the asking of why. Unbeknownst to her the reason I don't use flouride is actually medical in nature set by my

I've been going to the same dentist for pretty much my whole life (the past 20+ years). After I moved to California I saw an array of dentists that either were sketchy, overcharged, or just flat out horrible. I moved home to find out my old dentist closed his practice - so of course I went to Yelp to find the nearest, best one near me. So far, I have not been let down! This practice is so friendly, timely, professional and straight to the point. They helped me fix my problem filling that needed to be drilled down more (from my terrible previous Cali dentist), which I cannot thank them enough

Due to a suspiciously outrageous diagnosis I received from Dr. Howard Carrico (also in Kailua) that would cost me $2000, I decided to have a second opinion from Dr. Erik Dunkelberger at Kailua Dental Care. After a comprehensive examination, Dr. Dunkelberger informed me that I had excellent dental hygiene and no dental work was needed on the contrary. What a relief!
Additionally, Dr. Dunkelberger demonstrated great attention to detail as he customized the mouthguard according to my bite so that it would fit as comfortably as possible. I felt cared for and left the office with complete satisfaction

Due to acute dental issues involving 3 cracked teeth and much more, I visited Kailua Dental for emergency repairs during my travels. Dr. Erik Dunkelberger and the outstanding staff at Kailua Dental provided the top-quality expertise, compassion, and professional care that I needed in a timely manner.
Once I returned home, my dentist, a 35+ year veteran and clinical dental school instructor was thoroughly impressed with the excellent work Dr. Dunkelberger performed in my time of need. I can now smile again!
Thank you Kailua Dental for excellent care and thoughtful service!

Friendly office staff, small waiting room and most of the dental assistant is nice and friendly. I have been seeing Dr WONG and I really like her. She does a great job on your teeth whether it's a cavity or cosmetic repair on a tooth. Absolutely amazing! She takes great pride in her work and operates with modernized tools! I'm a chicken when it comes to dentist so when I say she's good, this review speaks for itself. The only thing I don't like about this place (minus the one star) is the parking.
Sometimes appointments can be hard to get but very workable. Early morning

I have been a patient at this clinic for several years and have always had good experiences in the past. Very clean, bright environment. Front desk staff is welcoming, and the dental assistants are kind and gentle on me when doing my routine cleaning. The last time I went, I was seen by Dr. Erik Dunkelberger. He came off as very rude. Stuck up even. We had a short "small talk" personal conversation when he first entered the room, like I do with most of my doctors, and as he responded to me, he made me feel as if I was inferior to him. He gave off this tone of "seriously? Your life

I REALLY like Dr. Wong. To me, she seems like a perfectionist which I like! She does great work! She explains what she is going to do to make you feel as comfy as possible. I love the way she corrects her assistants if need be. Harriet, the lady at the front desk is super genuine and full of aloha too.
My only gripe is that the hygienists seem to be transient. I have never gotten the same hygienist ever which I appreciate. I hope to find a hygienist and then request her/him permanently.

I have been going to Kailua Dental Care for years. Now I see Dr. Wong, and she is amazing! She is very considerate, always very careful and has gentle hands.
The staff is so friendly, easy to work with, so unlike other dentist's offices, which are happy to charge for even a re-schedule. Kailua Dental Care has never charged me for re-scheduling or even cancelling appointments.
I highly recommend Dr. Wong and Kailua Dental Care to anyone.

I owe Kailua Dental Care and Dr. Stephen Sueda a review ....
I switched my silver fillings to white simply for cosmetic reason back in Minnesota. Worst mistake of my life. Ever since getting them re done I couldn't chew on either side because of piercing pain. I went to a dentist in Honolulu to try and get them fixed, and the price without insurance (I don't have dental) was SO much, so I walked thinking it could get better through time. I came to Kailua Dental Care for second opinion...... their vibe I KNEW I wanted to stick with them. Good people who aren't trying to scam you
