If you’re working or living in Downtown Honolulu and need a dentist that actually fits into a busy lifestyle, All Star Dental Care in the Pauahi Tower (1003 Bishop St Suite 393) is the spot most of us locals recommend. It’s tucked right into the business district, which is a lifesaver if you want to get a cleaning done during your lunch break or right before heading home. The office has a really fresh, modern feel to it, but the best part is the crew—Dr. Jeremy Yoo and his team are known for being super laid-back and friendly, so it doesn't have that stiff, scary vibe you usually get at a surgeon's office.
What really sets Dr. Yoo apart is that he’s not a "salesman" dentist. If you’ve ever felt pressured to get ten fillings you didn't know you needed, you’ll find it really refreshing here. He’s known for being honest about what’s actually urgent and what can just be monitored. He’s also a bit of a tech whiz (he actually has a background in computer science), so the office is packed with the latest gear. They can do CEREC same-day crowns, which means you don't have to walk around with a temporary cap for weeks while waiting for a lab to send the permanent one back.
For anyone looking for more than just a basic cleaning, this is a major hub for dental implants and full-mouth restorations. They specialize in the "All-on-4" technique, which is basically a way to get a brand-new, permanent smile in a single day. They even offer sedation dentistry, so if the sound of a drill makes you break out in a sweat, you can basically snooze through the whole procedure and wake up when it’s finished. It’s that combination of high-end surgery and a gentle touch that keeps people coming in from all over Oahu.
One thing that is a huge plus for Downtown is that they offer validated parking at the Alii Place garage (1099 Alakea St) for patients getting treatment or cleanings. Anyone who has tried to find a spot on Bishop Street knows how much of a headache that saves. They are also great about the financial side, offering 0% financing and working with most major insurances to make sure you aren't stuck with a massive out-of-pocket bill.
