We offer not only preventive dentistry services but also a wide array of restorative, family, and cosmetic dentistry solutions. Being a family dentist, we understand that each person deserves a personalized treatment plan so we assure personalized care and attention.
Our office is located in Kahala, Honolulu, HI, and we have been providing dentistry services for more a decade and have a long list of happy and satisfied clients. Convenience and comfort are the two hallmarks of our office. We have a state-of-the-art facility to ensure the highest quality dental care.
Dr. Jason Ako is a graduate of Iolani High School and Creighton University Dental School and is passionate about the opportunities in advanced dental education and patient treatment. He regularly attends advanced continuing education here in Hawaii and throughout the Mainland, attending the World Renown Las Vegas Institute For Advanced Dental Studies, LVI Global as well as the London Institute for Dental Implantology.
Your smile is often the first thing a person notices about you, so what can you do to protect such an important asset? General dentistry provides the first line of defense against oral health problems. The dentist is the primary care provider for patients of all ages and maintains the ability to prevent, diagnose and treat a variety of dental conditions.
What do you do when you wake up and right before you go to bed? If you said brush your teeth, then that's great! Brushing and flossing twice a day is essential in maintaining your oral health. However, you do also need to visit your dentist for a dental cleaning at least twice a year. Visiting your dentist twice a year isn't just for fun.

Dr. AKO will try to add additional charges to your service. I cam here for a cleaning and he insisted on other procedures which jacked up the costs. Please refrain from coming to this money hungry doctor.

A lot of investors are confused and go into deep research for a trusted and legit platform to trade and invest in. I was also looking for the best one until I read good reviews and recommendations about Mrs kathrine lucas, With her great skill of trading and mining made a good profit for so many in their trade account. I was amazed how happy many investors wrote good comments about her. I contacted her and invested with her with believe and trust just as the way she replied me. I earned a very good profit and made my withdrawal $8,000 successfully directly to my Bank account on weekly investing

Extremely professional and equally as personable. Dr. Ako 's demeanor & knowledge are reflected by his choice in staff. They are all very courteous & respectful of their patients concerns and questions. The staff like Dr. Ako listen and respond to their patients as though we were their own family. They truly care about their clients.

Had the pleasure with Dr. Austin who did an exceptional job cleaning my teeth!!

We also looked into Invisalign for my teeth and he gave me great advice around the current solutions and realistically what would be best for my needs.

The only thing I would comment on is that the teeth whitening treatment was not as great as I thought it would be/led to believe, but besides that I have had an incredible time here.

Highly, highly, highly recommend Dr. Austin and Kahala Cosmetic & Family Dentistry.

This is a 5-star Rave Review for Dr. Austin who came to my rescue during the holidays when I lost a crown. The entire staff was responsive, friendly and efficient and made me comfortable in my hour of need and embarrassment. Dr. Austin was super professional yet warm and caring like a long lost friend. Mahalo Nui from the bottom of my heart and Happy New Year to all of you! Keola Saunter

All the staffs were super friendly, it was a nice visit. They double-check the work and confirm twice before working on your teeth and everything. The dentist I did always make sure I'm not in pain by asking if everything was ok. Definitely recommend to visit here.

I'm new in town and needed to find a dentist. Luckily, I did my research and chose the right place! I was greeted by friendly staff members as soon as I walked in the door. The office is very clean, updated and I was extremely impressed by all of the high-end technology that they use. My appointment was right on schedule. Dr. Austin did a great job and took the time to explain treatment options and made sure that I understood all of the dental jargon. Highly, highly recommend!

Dr. Ako recently sent me a letter to remove my review stating it had slanderous and damaging comments. I am rewriting my review because I feel that I do not want Dr. Ako to feel like this is a victory by threatening me with legal action. I will only say that my family and I are much happier at our new dentist in Kailua. My son's 4 cavities (that Dr. Ako said needed to be filled) upon getting a second opinion were deemed by another Dentist as not necessary for repair at this time. I'm sure this practice has many satisfied patients but we are not in that group.

So thrilled to have found Dr. Austin Ako!
I’m a very nervous patient & walked into my first appointment with my typical apprehension but Dr. Ako & his staff immediately put me at ease.
The staff is very friendly & accommodating. They explain all procedures and review billing costs thoroughly which is always appreciated.
Dr. Ako is patient, knowledgable and seems to have a genuine investment in the health of his patients. He takes his time to explain the procedure -both before and during- and asks how you are doing throughout. I’m also happy to report that this doctor truly provides a pain

I was referred to Dr. Jason Ako a few years ago and have always enjoyed Dr. Ako's and his staff's attentive care to my oral health. Recently Dr. Ako even went extra miles to explain the biopsy report by Kaiser to me. I couldn't understand the report and was under great stress. I was so moved by Dr. Ako's professionalism, kindness, and compassion.

I highly recommend Dr. Ako to be your dentists.

Dr. Ako and Kahala Family Dentistry are doing the lord’s work! Best dentist in Hawaii hands down. Friends and family of mine will fly to Oahu from big island just to see him instead other their local outer island dentists. I first saw him ten years ago for a traumatic injury that happened resulting in two new front teeth that are more beautiful than the original teeth and fixed the gap in then as well. He also helped a friend with serious cosmetic work who was injured with a broken jaw and missing teeth from a sports accident. This month he did the lord’s work again on my mouth! Anyway, Dr

Dr. Ako is "my dentist", he's "my guy". I really don't have that in a lot of things, like I don't have a set doctor, hair stylist, mechanic, etc. Several years ago I got the recommendation to see him as I was looking for a general dentist, but had never had major work. I went and was so enthralled by the technology he uses/keeps up with just with basic cleanings/imaging, I knew he knew what he was talking about/doing. I had to have my first major work done (crown) about a year ago. When I cracked the tooth, they initially couldn't see me for a week. Since I had had no major work/issues before I

Who else hates / fears going to the dentist? If this is you... Kahala Cosmetic and Family Dentistry with the Ako dentists (father and son) is your godsend.

My first visit there was for a routine checkup and cleaning. The technology in the office is great. Not only did they do the run of the mill "bite down and X-ray" practice, but they also had an X-ray that did a full panoramic scan of your mouth and jaws, capturing more than just my teeth to make sure I was healthy. (Whew...no cavities this time)

My hygienist was kind and very cognizant of how I was feeling. She worked diligently

New to the island and was searching for a dentist. Happy to have found Dr. Ako. Very thorough and high tech examination, followed by a detailed review of all options. The office is conveniently located and the staff was very professional. I was particularly impressed by Nicolle, who was helpful and went the "extra mile" while explaining insurance coverages.

Honestly this is going down in history. Jason Ako gave me NO pain whatsoever when I got 3 cavities filled. I am truly amazed at this. He is very honest which you all should know is very important when it comes to dental work. No wonder he got Best dentist of the Year in Honolulu in 2010 he deserves a award every year!! If your looking for a ease free dental experience go to Jason Ako DDS.

If you're like most people, going to the dentist doesn't rate as high as say going to shop the big sale at your most favorite store in the world or even going to pig out at your most favorite restaurant! lol.
But I must say that all my experiences at Dr. Ako's office have been well...almost pleasureable. I'm not saying that because it was a bunch of laughs but it was actually okay!

When you first walk in, the staff at the front are secomd to none, hands down. Whether its over the phone when you're making your appointment or in person, they make you feel welcome and treat
