Kailua holds a special place in my heart. After growing up in Lanikai and graduating from Punahou, I was fortunate to attend one of the nation's premiere dental schools at the University of Washington. Upon completion of dental school I moved to San Diego and worked alongside a faculty member of UCLA's Center for Esthetic Dentistry. As a result I was able to advance my education and skills , and developed my foundation for esthetic dentistry and dental implants. Although I thoroughly enjoyed living in San Diego, I always considered Kailua as home and returned to Hawaii in 2004 with my wife Christine.Through courses at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, I have refined my abilities in cosmetics and currently use some of the finest laboratories in the world. In addition I pursued my education in orthodontics and offer orthodontic treatment as an associate member of the International Association for Orthodontics. However, the most rewarding aspect of my advanced training has been in the field of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. I have found it greatly rewarding to help relieve the pain and suffering associated with migraines, headaches, chronic head and neck pain, earaches, vertigo, and jaw pain. I welcome every opportunity to improve a patient's health and self-confidence. My commitment to my patients is to provide the highest quality dental care using the latest equipment and materials in a warm caring, and gentle environment.

Kari Nakasone, RDH
Dental Hygienist
The most rewarding part of being a dental hygienist is having the opportunity to see how improved oral health and a new smile can change a person's life. I received my dental hygiene certificate and license in 1997 and completed my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in 1998. In 2002, I started teaching in the dental hygiene program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. In 2006, I received my Master's in Educational Technology.
I am very fortunate to be a part of a great team. I love what I do and enjoy it even more because the office provides the highest quality of care and pain free dentistry. My goal is to provide you with the most pleasant dental experience. I strive to partner with you to help achieve optimum oral health. I have two children and I love camping, traveling, shopping , golfing and relaxing.

Kelsie Suzuki
Dental Hygienist
I was born and raised in Honolulu, I’ve been a part of the dental field for the past four years as a hygiene assistant, hygiene student, and now a licensed Dental Hygienist. I am a recent graduate from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene, but currently back in school for an Advanced Professional Certificate for Expanded Function Dental Hygiene in Pediatrics. In this new program I am able to go out into different communities to provide care and education to 0-5 year olds. I love being a part of a field that gives me the ability to have an impact on the community starting with improving oral health. I am so glad to be a part of this awesome team and can’t wait to get to know you and your family. During my spare time I enjoy traveling, also hanging out with my twin sister and dog either hiking or at the beach.
