Called because i need extensive work. Gentlemen who answered the phone was completely useless. Tried to give him my policy number and he said thats not how it works? HOW DOES IT WORK THAN DUDE? You guys just lost at least two implants amongst a plethora of other work that could have headed your way because your guy does not have people skill.

Five stars for the Landmark Dental Team. I had a really bad toothache. I reached out to Dr Chow and he had me come in and get all fixed up by Dr kang on such short notice. Dr kang and his team did my root canal which by the way I was scared. But Dr kang and his team made me feel very comfortable and everything went smoothly. They completed the procedure and fixed me up, No more toothache.

Thank you to Dr chow and Dr Kang and the Landmark Dental team and staff for always making my experience first class. I appreciate the pride and the exceptional service when I am there. Awesome job everyone!

Everyone there was friendly and informative. The experience is great. Also a great spot for tourist that need to see the dentist within the area.

Saw Dr Morikawa recently for a checkup and cleaning, the cleaning was done by Marina who was quite knowledgeable and very thorough with the work done. X-rays were also taken with great care and precision. They both made excellent recommendations and took the time to explain and answer any questions I had. Can't go wrong with them!

Great office! My wife and I started seeing Dr. Nagata about a year ago when we relocated to Oahu. I was in need of plenty work and Dr. Nagata was able to take care of a few cracks and cavities over a few visits. Very little soreness and gone by the next day. Even made my crown in 45 min. while I waited. The Dental assistants/Techs have a great working relationship with the Doctor which is always a plus to see people enjoy what they do at work. Thanks again and hope I don't see you until my cleaning. lol

Called regarding a toothache, and they were able to squeeze me in to see Dr. Kate Oliver the next day, who was super nice and knowledgeable. My gums were inflamed near my wisdom teeth, and she referred me to oral surgeon to get them taken out. She also thoroughly cleaned the afflicted area in case anything was stuck there. The nurse and staff are also very kind.

Everyone there seem to genuinely care. The lady at front desk helped me get an appointment at the oral surgeon and patiently gave them all the information needed. Wonderful establishment with new technology. I was impressed by the x-ray machine! Parking is validated in the garage just don't try to go to the guest/resident parking. Turn in the second entrance for the shops parking.

Really great experience every time I go to see Dr. Chow. He's fixed previously done things and also done new fillings for me. Also routine cleanings are always great. The whole staff is always super kind and accommodating. Office is always clean and it's spacious.

Hands down the best dental clinic I've ever been to. Everyone single team member I've interacted with has been very friendly and you can feel the Aloha. This will be the only clinic I go to from now on.

I love LDG! I always have the best experience and service here. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I usually see Dr. Zampetti & recently Dr. Chow. Both wonderful DDS and have saved my teeth from any further damage throughout the years. They got my smile lookin AMAZING. Thank you guys so much!

I have been going to Dr. Nagata for foreverrrrrr. I would say probably close to 20 years. I live on Maui now and I still fly over to Honolulu to see him, Colleen, Marina, and Josie. They are all amazing and altho their old office was so convenient (I used to just walk there from my auntys house!), their new location (well, they have been here for a few years now) is beautiful and spacious and surprisingly easy to get to even tho they are in Waikiki now. Luckily they are right at the beginning in the Landmark Building.

You can't miss it! Usually Colleen or Marina do my teeth cleaning and they always do a great job. I always have a great appointment with them and it's great to catch up with them since I only see them twice a year! Marina suggested to me at my last appointment to switch to the oral B tooth brush (the one with the circular brush) and it has made such a difference.

She showed me how to use it and when I got back to maui, my husband bought the 2 pack at Costco. It really is an amaaaazing tooth brush. Dr. Nagata is a great dentist and I have been going to him for as long as I can remember. I got invisilign a while back and a few visits ago, he noticed that there was a space between my teeth that seemed to be getting bigger even tho I religiously wear my retainers at night.

It wasn't noticeable to most people I'm sure but I definitely noticed it and of course he would notice it! He always checks how everything is going when I come in for a cleaning and is always very attentive and cares about what is best for his patients. To close the space, he was going to fill it but asked how I would feel about just wearing some retainer trays again (like the invisilign trays).

I didn't mind at all so that's the way we're gonna go. I know most people don't look forward to their dentist appointments but if you have your teeth cleaned by Colleen or Marina and have Dr. Nagata as your dentist, you will definitely start looking forward to your visits. If you need a dentist and a good teeth cleaning, give them a call!

Went in for a dental cleaning today and Marina did an excellent job! She took a lot of time explaining how I could improve my oral care to reduce plaque build-up, and even took some close up images of my teeth so I could look at the small pockets forming. I feel like she explained so much more about proper brushing and flossing than any dentist or oral hygienist I've had.

I decided to do my annual exam at Landstar dental. My decision was based on excellent reviews. Unfortunately I was not impressed by Landmark Dental group. Hygienist that did my cleaning was taking none stop. After her cleaning I start to experience super sensitivity and after 2 weeks still experiencing it. Their prices are super high. I got another quote for the same work 40% less then I was quoted by Landstar. I decided to use another dental office for my future needs.

2 years later my kids still love going here. The day after their last apt, they heard someone was scared of the dentist. They said, " Why would anyone be scared of a dentist. They're so nice "

Nothing but good things here. Dr. Chow and staff interact with you on a personal level and ensure that you are as comfortable as can be. Their friendly smiles and caring demeanor really make you feel welcome. I am super appreciative that they were willing to work with me even though my family and I are going through tough times. I highly recommend Dr. Chow and staff at Landmark Dental to anyone who wants to experience what a dental visit should be like.

Many thanks to Dr. Dennis Nagata and his professional staff! My husband had snoring issues and wasn't comfortable with using the Cpap machine. Our friend told us about the oral appliance that Dr. Nagata provided to help another friend use when she travels. After the initial consultation and treatment recommended by Dr. Nagata, my husband decided to try it. It's been one month since he got the oral application and it is amazing!

The very first night my husband used the oral appliance he slept well and didn't snore once! Since then, no matter how tired my hubby is the oral appliance prevents him from snoring. My hubby feels more rested and I'm a happy wife. Thank you Dr. Nagata for your time and expertist in sleep apnea treatments!

I went to get a sleep appliance from Dr. Nagata. I've been to this clinic three times and each time my GPS sends me to the wrong side of the building, which is not their fault. It should be noted there is separate parking for building residents and the businesses off of Ala Wei Blvd. They do validate parking. This time when I went, I waited to get seen for 30 minutes, then went to the front desk to let them know that I'd been waiting for a while.

They took me back right away. Then when I talked with the Dr, he and his assistant went away and neither came back to check on me for another 17 minutes. So, I found someone again and asked if they could find the Dr. & his assistant again. They did. I will say that once Dr. Nagata was talking to me, he seems to be an attentive dentist who cares about his patients needs.

He even gave me other options to take home to try when the primary option didn't work. I don't know if they just have too many patients, or don't keep track of their patients, or what is going on. I will not be going back to this dental office.

Their "tandem appointment" is confusing and overall really time consuming if you want x-ray and cleaning (which in my world is a regular check-up). They schedule the X-ray on top of the hour and your cleaning on the NEXT top of the hour. YOU WAIT IN BETWEEN. Normally at other dental offices when they bring you back in the room, they will X-Ray (which is usually 5-10 minutes) then cleaning and finally consultation with the dentist. NOT HERE! EVERYONE that checked in AFTER US WERE SEEN AND LEFT WHILE WE WAITED.

Appointment for my son at 3pm for X-ray and cleaning AKA regular 6 month checkup. Checked in at 2:55pm (we submitted paperwork and insurance beforehand) X-ray tech took him in 3:05-3:15 Waited in lobby from 3:15-4:05. We waited 50 minutes after his X-ray for the hygienist to bring him back for cleaning. 15, 20 or maybe 30 minutes with other offices but 50 minutes is just unacceptable. There was nothing special about this office that would have us coming back for a second visit.

As a new patient, I found this place by using yelp to find a new dentist who meets my needs. I'm a military spouse so I have to change dentists often wherever my husband's job takes us. Over the past couple of years I have seen 3 different dentists on the island and both had amazing reviews but one was not up to date with dental equipment so when I had a wisdom tooth extraction (2nd one since I left my Cali dentist) I was wide awake but sedated and the oral surgeon was literally tugging on the tooth and I was terrified! Compared to the last oral surgeon I had in Cali, he was gentle and he didn't struggle at all with the wisdom tooth. Cali oral surgeon completed a traumatizing procedure with ease and I kept going back to his office for my dental needs.

I finally worked up the courage to find another dentist after that last visit here on island and I was pleased with my Hygienist and Doctor who takes with me and made my first evaluation and exam a pleasant experience! It is located out on the east side of the island and I have to make the trip from the west side but I think they are worth the trip!

They gave me a plan after discussing minor issues I had and they provided me with an estimate for the next visit. The office is off of Ala Wai and they have their own parking area in which they validate parking tickets so we don't pay any parking fees. Take the parking elevator up to the 6th floor and out to the far right side of the building.

The views are awesome and they have bay windows in the exam rooms. There's a waiting area with magazines, a tv, and a refreshment table behind the tv wall with coffee and water. I look forward to my next visit!

You just found the place for all your dental needs! Can't say enough about Dr. Chow and the team here at Landmark Dental Group. Everyone here from the receptionists to the hygienists and dental assistants they're all personable yet professional. I've been a patient with Dr. Chow for a few years now and my teeth couldn't be be happier. Dr. Chow has been able to address all the different dental issues I've had over the years and I've never had a problem with his work.

What I appreciate the most is that he's able to explain what the problem is and he provides you with options regarding course of treatment. My recent visit, I went in for a cleaning (Thanks Erica!) but they found that I had a missing filling so I would need to have that done. Instead of scheduling a return visit, Dr. Chow asked if I could wait around if I didn't have any plans so that he could do it in between patients. I mean I'd gladly come back but he did save me another trip. Class act! Thanks Dr. Chow. See you guys in six months.

Dr Chow and his staff are amazing. I had veneers for over 20 years. I visited Dr Chow and even though my teeth look beautiful from the outside; I needed a lot of work done on my teeth. He was very professional and created a plan to get me teeth as healthy as possible. He worked around my insane schedule. For the 3 weeks, Dr Chow saw me 3 or 4 x a week and did a wonderful job.

He was very patient, understanding and he had my best interest at heart. I appreciate Dr Chow and his wealth of knowledge. If you're looking for a great dentist on Oahu, I would highly recommend Dr. Christopher Chow. He and his staff work miracles! Mahalo Dr Chow

I have been with Landmark Dental Group since before they moved to the Landmark building in Waikiki. I just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Chow and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Chow and his staff are (still) great, and they offered to make the retainers at their office rather than having them made by Invisalign. I love having this option due to the fact that if I ever lose/break my retainers, I can call Dr. Chow's office and order a new set right away. If you are looking for great dental care, or an Invisalign treatment in their NEW office, check out LDG. I am excited to continue my dental care with Dr. Chow and his staff.
