Today was my first appointment and I was very pleased with everything. Starting with the most lovely lady at the front desk, she is very sweet and helpful. The Dr’s assistant is very professional and efficient. She showed me around the office, and i was impressed with the quality of all technologies they use there. Dr Ogata is very accessible and super nice. He explained everything about our short term goals, making an immediate plan of action for my concernsand his recommendations were in line with what I believed too we should do. So, all in all, a wonderful visit to the dentist, which is something I never thought I would say!
I chose this office (among multiple other options in Maui) based on the reviews. So I want to provide my feedback so others can be reassured that this Dentist office and Dr Ogata is definitely going to exceed your expectations.

Dr. Ogata Is the best dentist I have been to... trust me I've seen more than I'd like to admit. He is gentle, knowledgeable, friendly, with state of the art technology and has a sense of humor.
He recently set my implant and once it was in place he saw it wasn't fitting the way he felt it should. Dr. gave me the option to wear it while on vacation then have it replaced when I came back or take it out and upon my return from vacation it would be ready. The tooth had to go back to Oahu to be remade, I decided to go with option two.
When the oral surgeon took this tooth out he accidentally knocked out a small patch/filling I had done at the base of the tooth where your gum line is. I asked Dr. Ogata should we refill this area again, his reply was if it was his tooth he would not, then gave me the reasons why. Made sense to me and saved me the time and money, this impressed me.
I have been to both hygienists in his office and love both of them! I would definitely recommend Dr. Ogata and friendly staff for all your dental needs. :-)

I am 100% happy with all the dental work I've needed over many years. Great people, great work. I do not have a single complaint. If you have put off dentistry, no worries, make an appointment with these folks. 100%

Dr. Ogata and his staff were so amazing to me when I came in with a dental emergency! It was my first time walking into his office and they all treated me as if I had been a long time patient with care and understanding. I generally have anxiety at the dentists office but Dr. Ogata and his assistant created a perfect blend of confidence, assurance and light humor to the room leaving me feeling so relaxed in a dental chair ! And that is a big deal for me! I now actually look forward to going back to a next appointment! Mahalo!

Another exceptional experience today 10/19/2020 at Dr. Ogata's dental office. I find Dr. Ogata and his office to be among Maui's very finest. Dr. Ogata is a superb dentist, and his hygenists terrific. State of the art equipment (including Covid19 protection) and a caring attitude amongst all in the office.

Maria, my new dental hygienist, was terrific: thorough, gentle, and intelligent - a great combination. Ron Schecter
One of the amazing aspects of Dr. Ogata's office is not only the superb technical skill of Dr. Ogata and his entire staff, but also the consistency of their application of that skill. Each visit is as fine as its predecessor. Additionally, the office continually incorporates all the advances in equipment. For example, a recently installed electric plaque scaler used in my cleanings finely regulates its water flushing element, so I no longer have that drowning sensation which earlier models caused. Ron Schecter
My subsequent visits to Maria continue to find the same outstanding technical skill and caring experienced in my initial visit. I never thought I would look forward to having my teeth cleaned, but I now do. My wife uses another dental technician in Dr. Ogata's office, and is equally
pleased. How fortunate to have such care available here on Maui! Ron
My experience with dental hygienist Maria continues (this Sept. 2019) outstanding. In addition to her marvelous blend of thorough yet gentle cleaning technique, she educates how to improve my gum health by identifying the areas that need special attention, and specific approaches to use (including even a gentle massage!). My wife is similarly most pleased with her hygienist Sarah. All in all, a wonderful office!
My teeth cleaning yesterday with my regular hygienist continues to be superb (see comments above). In addition, Teal, who covered for my wife's regular hygienist (who is on pregnancy leave) was terrific as reported by my wife. Teal provided my wife with multiple insights into brushing with a new electric toothbrush, state-of-the-art dental floss, etc.
The hygienists in Dr. Ogata's office are jewels in the crown he has fashioned, making a marvelous compliment to the outstanding dentistry he (and his dental assistants) practice.
March 1, 2022 yet another fantastic teeth cleaning with my regular dental hygenist Maria - thorough; nearly painless; informative; very pleasant. My gums continue to improve. Office is spotless, and staff thoroughly professional.

Wonderful, skilled and friendly staff from the moment you call to schedule an appointment.
Dr. Lance Ogata DDS is exceptional in his knowledge and has many years of experience. I found him to be highly ethical and Interested in what is best for me with my dental care history and concerns. I completely recommend Dr Ogata over the other Dentists I have had consultations with since relocating to Maui. I believe he is one of the best Dentist on the island. Mahalo

My husband and I found Dr. Ogata by a referral 15 years ago when we retired and moved to Maui. We have been under his care since 2003 and are very pleased with his knowledge and service. He and his staff are TERRIFIC!

Dr Ogata was recommended by a friend. I couldn’t be happier with him and his office staff. The staff are all very friendly. Dr Ogata knows his stuff and asks the right questions. I highly recommend him.
