Paia Family Dental

My husband and I were both so appreciative of the dental work we received at Paia Family Dental. Doctor Aragaki is extremely talented and skilled and one of the best (if not best) dentist I have had (I’ve had a lot of dental work). Honest, no frills, with great attention to detail and precision. I just had a couple of crowns replaced and he takes great pride in his work. The crowns fit like a glove and the best. We cannot say enough good things about him. His wife Sue is also amazing and does an great job on the administrative side.

I always feel more comfortable in Asian owned businesses. The dog is sweet (but not to be pet) and gives the place a more relaxed feel. Everyone was very understanding of my issues

Had a wonderful experience here. They were very kind and did an amazing job. I also had some confusion with my insurance ending and they were very accommodating.

I choose Paia family dental because they are friendly and I have had the best dental work of my life. They don't use mercury, are very gentle and I feel like they really care.

Nice, friendly and fabulous attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Great Dentist! Thank's.

Not only did their dog constantly bark and try to bite me, they tried to tack on an extra 1000$+ of fees after work was completed. The work they did was good but I would not go here as there are many dentists on island with much more integrity than these guys. Also dentist having small talk with people whilst working in my mouth was super unnerving. Again customer beware of this place. Jason, for future reference talking about McDonald’s when your working on someone’s mouth doesn’t feel good nor is safe

Sad to say, terrible visit:(
Hygienist was extremely rushed through my cleaning, she hung the “spit sucker” on my cheek while she was doing my cleaning but it kept falling out in my hair.. no apologies, she just continued to put it in the same spot. So I held it up in my mouth after the third time it fell, for the remaining 15 mins with no thank you.
Flossing was rough and my gums are sore still- two days later. My mouth burns when I drink hot tea.
The dentist came in after cleaning and I told him my insurance only covers bitewing X-rays every 24 months. He didn’t seem to believe me, going to ask the receptionist what it was, to come back and tell me “sometimes insurance means full picture mouth X-rays”. I said I know what my coverage is, but thanks for checking anyway, I’m going to reject the X-rays today and just get an annual exam( the X-rays they had on file were only 1 1/2 years old anyway).
He then bluntly asked me “So, let me get this straight just out of curiousity- you made this appointment to just get a teeth cleaning? No x rays or fluoride?”
Honestly, I was taken aback and felt offended that I offered him my business. I will not be returning... Paia Family Dental you need to step your business game up.
Aloha.
