Welcome to the cosmetic dentistry practice of Carter S. Yokoyama, D.D.S. in beautiful Kailua-Kona. Here you will experience cosmetic dentistry at its highest level. Whether you desire a complete smile makeover or are simply looking for the best general dental care to meet your needs, this is the place for you.
Cosmetic dentistry blends artistic creation with sound scientific principles to create masterpieces that improve people's health, confidence and self esteem. At our practice in Kailua-Kona, Dr. Carter Yokoyama uses the most advanced cosmetic dentistry techniques and materials to produce beautiful, natural looking results that can greatly enhance his patients' lives.
There are many different dental problems that a person may face. Accidental chips and cracks or tooth decay can mar the appearance of a tooth. Some teeth may have small but detectable levels of misalignment, or there may be slight but unsightly gaps between teeth. Perhaps there are severe stains on the teeth, making a person hesitant to smile.
There are so many products these days that claim to whiten teeth, but they tend to vary in effectiveness. The number of these products, though, reveals that many people have a need for a cosmetic dentistry solution that can brighten their smiles. None of these products, however, is as effective as a professional teeth whitening treatment from Dr. Carter Yokoyama at his practice in Kailua-Kona.

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.

I'm a traveling nurse new to this island. Dr. Yokoyama was referred to me from other nurses. I must say I was definitely impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He was real easy to talk with. I didn't feel intimidated while I met with him. His staff was very kind and courteous. They made me feel extremely comfortable about seeing the doctor. I felt he was very thorough on my examination. I would DEFINITELY like to recommend this Dr. to anyone who is in need of any kind of dental work. Thank you Dr. Yokoyama!

Dr. Yokoyama is an awesome dentist. He takes his time and explains everything in detail. Instead of putting veneers on my teeth to address my concerns, he recommended that I see an orthodontist to supplement what he will do so that my dental needs and desires are met in the most non invasive way possible. The dental hygienist was also very thorough and professional.
They are always on time and consistent. They do not take certain insurances so your bill is submitted to your insurance and you receive a refund directly from your insurance. I highly recommend Dr. Yokoyama and his business.

Dr. Yokoyama and his staff are amazing. They are so caring and gentle as well. I get anxiety anytime I need dental work. He is very patient and understanding and has always given me breaks if needed. I cannot recommend him enough. The staff is personable, the views are gorgeous and the office is very clean and comfortable.

The staff is very pleasant and caring with very individualized treatment. Dr The doctor was was kind soft spoken and very knowledgeable. I felt like family on the first visit. I would not hesitate to recommend Beautiful healthy Smiles by Dr Carter Yokoyama in Kailua-Kona.

Dr Yokoyama and his entire staff were very friendly and accommodating! I am terrified of dentists and they went out of their way to make me comfortable. They also took me in on very short notice as I am going on vacation in a week and need to have my teeth working properly so I can eat! Love this dentist and his crew!

Dr. Yokoyama was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad I found him. He and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. He doesn't take insurance but don't let that stop you from seeing him. You pay out of pocket but they bill your insurance for you so you get reimbursed. My claim was sent in before I even left the office! Highly recommend him!

I had a very positive experience at my recent dental appointment for my semi annual cleaning. Although my regular hygienist was out that day, I was offered the opportunity to proceed with another hygienist. I was most pleased with Anna's professionalism, gentle hand, and thoroughness. She took the time to answer my questions and guide me through some steps toward more effective oral self care. Thank you!

Doctor Yokoyama and his staff are the kindest and professional dentist office i ever been to on the Big Island. They allways work to my schedule and provide the best dental care to me when it comes to my cleanings or dental problems. This is the only dental office i go to. The Aloha given to me has made me become more attentive to my mouth and diligent to keep up my dental hygiene.
