Pediatric Dentistry

There is a reason Hawaii Family Dental wins so many awards!From the minute I walk in, I can feel the Aloha Spirit. Professional, expert dentists, cutting edge high tech dental tools, a strong spirit of teamwork and respect among the staff and the friendliest front desk people of any office in town! I recently had my teeth cleaned by Vincent, and he is terrific, thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to teach me about my teeth.I always feel taken care of and included in decisions about my dental work. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now. Thank you Hawaii Family Dental!!

For many years, Dr. Lindsay Taira has been far more than simply my doctor. She has been someone I could trust to consistently place quality, precision, and patient care above everything else. Every visit reflects genuine attention to detail, thoughtful communication, and a level of professionalism that inspires confidence.What I appreciate most is that Dr. Taira never rushes through treatment. And i had many treatments under her care . She approaches each procedure with micro-precision attention, ensuring the treatment patient gets is done properly rather than simply completed quickly. That dedication is increasingly rare in Hawaii and deserves recognition.One good example from my own experience: After my braces were recently removed, I was still struggling with leftover orthodontic cement on several teeth. During my visit i menthioned this , Dr. Taira immediately recognized my discomfort as a patient. Instead of asking me to schedule another appointment or directing me back to the orthodontic department, she personally took the time to carefully polish away the remaining cement herself. She certainly could have referred me elsewhere, but she chose to help in that very moment. To me, that is the mark of a true doctor. It wasn't simply about treating teeth. It was about seeing a patient's concern, taking ownership, and making sure I left the office cared for. That genuine compassion and willingness to go beyond what was expected left a lasting impression on me.Her kindness, her talent, and unwavering commitment to her patients have helped preserve not only my smile, but also my confidence in seeking dental care. After many years under her care, I can say without hesitation that Dr. Lindsay Taira exemplifies the highest standards of dentistry. I am sincerely grateful for everything she has done for me and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.— K K.

DDS Everett's Team were great to me! I'm ready to eat this Christmas Season!

Dr. Sieka is very gentle and thorough!

August 4, 2026, another OUTSTANDING teeth cleaning with dental hygienist Christy Murashige. She explained every step she would be performing to clean my teeth. She listened carefully and answered all my questions. The cleaning began with pumice polish, ultrasonic, pick and ended with fluoride. I appreciate the frequent fresh water rinses. She is a professional and seems to have a passion for her craft. The billing and front desk receptionist (Sorry, I forget her name) is super helpful and friendly. I actually look forward to my next cleaning session in early 2027. Mahalo!Two recent EXCELLENT experiences at Hawaii Family Dental, Kihei office. Both started with the professional front office team. Answering my questions and showing compassion explaining scheduling, insurance and payments. The January 16 teeth cleaning was with dental hygienist Christy Murashige. She is a great professional and helped put my dental anxiety at ease. Christy explained each step and ensured I was comfortable, ensuring I was not in pain at any time. We need more hygienist like Christy! My next appointment was February 7th with Dr. Jeff Thomas. He is also very professional and reassuring. He repaired a failed filling (Filling was old, not originally installed by HFD) and made sure there was no pain. He kept the communication open and also explained every part of the procedure. HFD is lucky to have these two professionals and the team of dental assistants and office staff. I will highly recommend this office to everyone. Mahalo!

As always .. having Adam work in me was a pleasure. His ability to personalize the individual experience along with a professional approach makes it an occasion for anticipati .

Check-in with the online/realtime person is a breeze, they check you in quick. Doctors and assistants are very transparent and make sure you understand every step of procedures being done.They make you feel comfortable and their work is very professional.

Absolutely the finest dental service on the Big Island. Personal are the very best and scheduling an appointment is very easy because they are open 7 days a week.

Sarah’s the best hygienist. Informative, personal, thorough and considerate!Both Dr. Lee and Sarah were dedicated to my oral health. Very professional.Sarah knows how to feel make you comfortable, has good knowledge of patient, communication and cleaning excellent.Dr. Han good communication, personal and professional.

For my baby boys very first visit. The staff from the moment we walked in was aces and the live screen check in was amazingly new, fun and accommodating. Then the greeting was superb followed by a short wait even though my appointment wasn't for another 45 minutes. We were seen in less then ten minutes of waiting. Once we were in one of their awesome rooms the nurse gave me prompt and important information on how the visit would be and what to do to help DR. My son was seen and gave little fuss but was sent off with a 👍 and a bag of healthy gifts for His bravery and visit. I'm so glad I made the right choice. Thank you so very much for the experience and welcome we received from the moment we walked in throughout the visit and seeing us on our way out. We're Very Happy 😁😁😁

Adam Z, my hygienist, was so personable and professional. I am always surprised at his ability to recall detail from our previous visits. It really makes me feel remembered and valued as a patient. When I arrived for my appointment today, the team at the front had already checked me in, and everybody was ready for me. I didn’t have to wait, and the service was quick and thorough. When it came time to go, again, everything was already squared away for me, all I had to do was sign, and say my farewells.I really appreciate this team and I always look forward to my appointments here.10/10 would recommend.

Excellent!! Always a pleasure. Comfortable, professional, personable and a very clean well kept office. Thank you 👍

We had such a great experience at Hawaii Family Dental with Dr. Westphal! My 6-year-old daughter was pretty skeptical and nervous at first, but he and his team were so patient, kind, and gentle with her that she ended up feeling completely comfortable during both her exam and teeth cleaning. He really took the time to make her feel at ease, which we appreciated so much.The kids also always look forward to the fun surprises Dr. Westphal gives them at the end of their visit. It makes going to the dentist something they actually get excited about! We’re so thankful for such a caring dentist and highly recommend him for families with young kids.

I highly recommend Hawaii Family Dental. From the moment I arrived, the entire team was welcoming, friendly, and cheerful, creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere.They took my concerns and anxiety about dental work seriously and made every effort to help me feel at ease. Dr. Todd Stone is exceptional. He was attentive throughout my procedure, frequently checking on my comfort and even pausing when my anxiety became overwhelming to make sure I was okay. His compassion and patience made me feel like a valued person rather than just another patient.Dr. Stone also took the time to thoroughly explain each procedure and answer all of my questions, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. Although going to the dentist has never been something I enjoy, Hawaii Family Dental has completely changed my experience. If I ever need dental care, this is the office I will choose every time.

Best dental office on Maui. Every question answered. Friendly. Reasonable prices.

Besides my amazing doctor, the biggest reason I come back for every single appointment is Daison M. His cleanings are exceptional. He is incredibly thorough and attentive, always mindful of sensitivity and checking in to make sure I’m comfortable throughout the entire appointment. The level of care and attention to detail he provides is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else. He genuinely takes pride in his work and in his patients’ comfort and it shows every single visit. Thank you again Daison 🙂

always patient with my kids and reinforces their responsibility for their teeth

They use up to date techniques not like my old dentist. Very good experience. Daison The hygienist was very thorough

Dr. Sieka is absolutely amazing & hands down the best!!!

Had my first cleaning with Nina - she is personable and extremely thorough with her work all while genuinely caring about your well being.
