Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services combine artistic skill with scientific precision to transform smiles through porcelain veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers. We address staining, misalignment, and structural imperfections while maintaining natural tooth function. Patients receive comprehensive consultations to determine optimal treatment plans that enhance both aesthetics and oral health.
Dental Implants
Dental implant solutions provide permanent tooth replacement options that mimic natural tooth structure and function. We offer single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-mouth rehabilitation using biocompatible titanium fixtures. Our approach ensures stable, long-lasting results that preserve jawbone integrity and facial aesthetics.
Six Month Smile
Six Month Smile treatment corrects visible dental misalignments using clear braces for rapid aesthetic improvement. This system focuses on front teeth alignment within 4-9 months, offering a discreet alternative to traditional orthodontics. Custom-fabricated appliances ensure comfortable wear with minimal impact on daily activities.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services deliver superior stain removal through in-office laser treatments and customized take-home trays. Our solutions effectively address discoloration from coffee, wine, and aging while minimizing sensitivity. Patients receive maintenance guidance to prolong whitening results.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative treatments including crowns, bridges, and inlays/onlays repair damaged teeth while preserving natural structure. We use durable porcelain materials that match surrounding dentition for seamless integration. These solutions restore chewing function and prevent further dental deterioration.

Big, big, BIG MAHALOS to everyone at Dr. Yokoyama's office! After 40 years of avoiding dental appointments. my dad, 82 years old, just LOVES his new smile! Over the last few months, he has been in for a series of extractions and getting fitted for dentures. From our very first appointment, Heather was extremely helpful about explaining all of the different procedures, timelines and costs. and my dad just loves talking story, with EVERYONE down there.
I never would have imagined going to the dentist could be such a nice experience for him. We are both sincerely grateful for everyone's professionalism. and more than anything. everyone there, just being SO NICE! I recommend this office, 100%. Aloha!

I feel fortunate to be a patient in Dr Yokoyama's practice. His beautiful office is equipped with the very latest that dental technologies offer. Equally important, Dr Yokoyama is a skillful caring dentist who has assembled a professional and personable staff from front office personnel to assistants and hygienists. Whenever I have an appointment I know that I will be seen promptly and be cared for by a competent dental team.
As a retired dentist, I have high expectations when considering my dental care. I know how challenging and expensive it is to set and maintain high standards. I say with confidence and from experience that Dr Yokoyama's practice is comparable to the best practices available on the mainland.

Extremely pleased with my experience so far. I'm a new patient. They've called me by name every time I've arrived.and have been incredibly kind and welcoming. Dr. Yokoyama was wonderful and very professional and thorough-as was Joyce and Tiffany and the lovely folks at the front desk. I'm not very fond of going to the dentist, but I'm actually almost looking forward to going back! I'd highly recommend. Aloha.
