Lance Teramoto is more than a dentist, he's an artist! I do say this tongue in cheek (pun intended) watching him basically design my porcelain crown on his Computer Aided Design program (One of of just five on Island) was amazing! As a graphic designer myself I was thoroughly impressed and entertained as he allowed me to watch my new porcelain tooth be milled out right in front of me.
Another reason I love having Lance Teramoto as my Dentist is the rest of his office staff. They are all so nice and friendly! Mind you that I gladly drive from Mililani to Hawaii Kai for their outstanding service

Mahalo for the precautions you take to insure our welfare, especially with concerns of Covid 19. We are happy to refer you to our family and friends.
When our two sons moved to the mainland, they had their dental check-ups whenever they came home for visits. They would not allow anyone else to touch their teeth. However, one son left for Japan and had a new dentist.

Dr. Teramoto and all of his staff are incredibly thorough, thoughtful about their patients concerns, and provide high touch care. They made me feel very safe during COVID with their protocols and procedures. I found him after carefully combing through Google reviews and calling different dental offices, research proved to be well worth it! Shout out to the dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth with the utmost care as I have sensitive teeth, she provided an excellent experience.

Yesterday was my first visit with Dr. Teramoto working on my teeth. He is highly skilled, competent, and explained the procedures to make me feel comfortable. (I didn't even know I was being numbed because I couldn't even feel the needle at all!!!). He also has an amazing team of assistants who are so cheerful and caring, making me feel welcomed from the get-go!!! if you need a dentist, Dr. Teramoto is definitely the PERSON TO SEE!!!!👍🦷😊

Yes, I found my dentist off of Yelp. Needing to see someone for my toothache, I called their office & to my surprise was able to get a consult appointment the very same week. Their office is conveniently located in the Kahala Professional Building, across from Kahala Mall.
The whole experience was stressless. Dr. Teramoto and Tasha were incredibly professional and actually made my dental experience enjoyable! When I mentioned I noticed a small chip on my tooth (an issue separate from what the consult was for), he took it upon himself to fix it for me right then & there! Professional,

Best dentist on this island. I would put money on him head to head nationally against his peers for the same title anytime. The thing I like best about Dr. Teramoto is the concern he takes for his patients comfort. No exaggeration I don't even feel the needle. I fell asleep while he was drilling my teeth. How many of you can say that about your dentist?
Isolated incident?
NO. My daughter also falls asleep while getting her teeth drilled. No joke. no shibai. I refer anyone I can to him. So far I got all my kids, my mom, and my auntie going to Dr. Teramoto. That's the highest compliment

Getting stuck by a needle sucks. Dr Teramoto appears to have solve that problem. The technique he uses to numb the area as he works on is excellent. You don't need to be a dentist to know when someone is very good at their job. He takes the extra time to make sure the job is done right. I've always gotten a follow up phone call because that's the kind of personal touch he adds to his work.
I first saw Dr. Teramoto when I had a cracked tooth. I cold called him on his day off not expecting to hear from him until the work week. He called me back in two hours to schedule an appointment

Let me start off by saying I've been seeing Dr. Teramoto for over 20 years. I live quite a distance from his practice but insist on continuing care under him because he and his staff are OUTSTANDING! Everyone in the office is completely professional, courteous, warm and welcoming. I'd much rather drive the distance to see Dr. and staff than be a patient at a turn and burn clinic where chair space and the level of care one receives is based on the dollar amount the procedure generates. They also do not recommend bogus procedures that a patient truly doesn't need. And because

I have been going to Dr. Teramoto for years and my experiences have all been positive. His staff is friendly and they genuinely want to make sure you have a pleasant experience each visit. Parking is somewhat limited, but you can always walk across the street from Kahala mall. There are a couple of stalls reserved for his patients and some guest parking in front of the building.
Tasha always gives me phone and email reminders whenever I have an upcoming appointment. If I need to change an appointment time, she tries to shuffle around other appointments in order to accommodate me. After Hilda

Nice, easy to talk to, professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, efficient, honest, will not talk you into something you don't need, experienced and up to date on all the new technology. Takes his time but is quick because he is very good at what he does. He's also on the Honolulu Magazine's Best Dentists in Hawaii list.

I've been going to Dr. Lance Teramoto for a few years now...the routine treatments are great...the basic, teeth cleaning, xrays, and normal check ups.....
Now I'm having a cap replaced and WOW!!! is he great!
In order to replace my cap, he had to numb my mouth to remove the old cap....as he told me he was gonna start the numbing process, I immediately began to grip the arms of the chair............but, uhhhhhhhh
For the FIRST time in my 55+ years of going to the dentist (didn't have to go before I had teeth, hee hee), the process of numbing my mouth DOES NOT HURT AT ALL!!!!! He
