We strive to maintain and promote healthy life style and excellent oral hygiene in our community.
By breaking the psychological cycle of uncertainty-tension-fear, we provide our patients with comprehensive oral care followed by preventive procedures through oral hygiene education. It is reinforced with the clear explanation and description using our digital radiography tools, along with plenty of time for our patients to feel comfortable with their treatment whether it is multiple implant placement surgery, laser gum treatment or regular teeth cleaning. We strive to maintain and promote healthy life style and excellent oral hygiene in our community.
Hitomi Dentistry has never just been about dentistry. Being in business as long as we have and seeing patients every at least twice a year for checkups, it's easy to see how our patients have grown to be a family. Our youngest patient is 18 month old; the oldest is turning a 100 in December 2015. Dr. Trent Kanemaki truly enjoys the "story exchange" environment. Very often you will see Dr. Trent sharing his love of professional photography and outdoor activities with the patients.
