Gingivitis vs. Periodontitis

My daughter has a large underbite and was referred to Dr. Do by her pediatrician also for TMJ , we are very satisfied with the result , having brace is not just about having a beautiful smile , but also having a healthier life . We are glad we found Dr Do, she is very knowledge!

I am so thankful I found Dr. Do and her staff at Manoa Dental. I had found Dr. Do after months of searching for a cosmetic dentist on Oahu who could give me the smile I wanted with Lumineers. She was so informative about the differences between Lumineers and veneers, and her attention to detail is really what made me choose her to go through this process with. Dr. Do really customizes your Lumineers to YOU. She doesn't act like, because she's done so many, that she knows better than you and what you want. Dr. Do, Kim, and the rest of her staff are incredibly easy to talk to and I feel like they really listen to your questions and concerns. Dr. Do gives you the impression that you're important to her and your satisfaction in her work is a top priority. We worked TOGETHER to create the smile I wanted and she never acted like my opinion didn't matter.

Another plus was the fact that they offered a payment plan to pay for the Lumineers. Lumineers are definitely not a cheap way to improve your smile and having a payment plan really helped make them affordable for me.

I now see Dr. Do and her staff for all of my dental needs and routine cleaning and I wouldn't change a thing. She's a great dentist and an even better person. She makes me look forward to seeing her again and honestly, who can really say that about their dentist... ;)

Dr. Choy is simply excellent in his work. Just finished my last step of my first implant. From tooth extraction (cracked tooth) to 'sinus lift' (to secure my implant) to post then implant placement - I'm amazed! Little to no pain. No bruising during the sinus lift (a common issue noted on many sites detailing this procedure). Perfect fit on the implant.

Thanks to Manoa's excellent admins - I navigated all the insurance issues with ease.

Bowing in gratitude to all @ Manoa!

I absolutely enjoyed my experience with Dr. Do and her staff at Manoa dental. The office is so clean and nicely decorated and they make you feel very comfortable. Making an appointment was so easy! I'm absolutely in love with my smile. Dr. Do gave me my dream smile.

Best dental experience ever. I'm a new patient and was looking for a dentist near me and found Manoa Dental. The process for scheduling an appt. was so fast and easy, the receptionist did all the work for me, I just needed to tell her my insurance and when I was available to come in easy as that. I just finished my TMJ treatment with Dr. Keri Do and am so happy with my result. She has so much knowledge and experience with TMJ that making my decision to go with treatment was easy to decide. She not just fixes my TMJ but made my teeth straighter and changed my profile at the same time so really, I just got a 3 in 1. After the treatment I decided to do my dental implants with Dr. Choy, he was there checking on my teeth during my TMJ treatment to make sure I was on track with my spacing for implants. I just love how this office communicates to make sure there's no misunderstanding with their patients' treatment. I ended up doing 2 implants at once, the procedure went by that I was able to finish a movie and didn't feel a thing. He was so gentle that I didn't have any swelling or bruising, I was back at work the next day. I would recommend this office to anyone. Thank you, Dr. Do and Dr. Choy.

A full mouth reconstruction in not a project to be approached lightly. I evaluated cosmetic dentists in Nevada, California and Hawaii, examining web sites, professional affiliations, and publications. At one point I thought I had found the best one, and I travelled to his office in Nevada. But when he proposed to do all the work in one day, I realized my choice was wrong. That was before I found Dr. Keri Do.

My experience at Manoa Dental Care began with an emergency extraction and preparation for an implant performed by Dr. Malcolm Choy. It is now almost one year later, and my reconstruction has been completed by Dr. Do. The beautiful smile I see in the mirror is amazing.

Dr. Keri Do is a truly gifted artisan and craftsman. She is passionate about the science of dental function and esthetics. She is committed to excellence. I do not believe I could have made a better choice.

"A lot of people look at testimonials and say 'I wonder how much they paid them to say that?' I can honestly say that not only my testimonial but my results are 100% real! From the age of 11 I didn't like that my teeth were crooked. For over 20yrs I was ashamed to smile and I shyed away from certain people and activates in my life because of it. I was very skeptical about getting cosmetic surgery there are just too many Dr.'s to choose from. After looking online in the Honolulu area for about 2months I decided to start getting consultations to see what could be done about my crooked smile! From the moment I walked in I was amazed not only by the service of the staff but how knowledgeable Dr. Do was about the questions I had about my teeth. She was very easy to talk to and she explained how the whole process worked. By the time I left her office I knew that I wanted her as my doctor. From beginning to end the procedure was a success and the results were amazing. Thank you so much for making my whole dental experience the best I have ever had! You have helped me regain a new confidence about myself that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Thank you!"

"When I came to Hawaii, I knew I needed a dentist. Of all the many places that were here, I decided to look into Invisalign. It turned out that for the condition of my teeth, I would actually need something a little more. For one thing, I needed to find out the extent of my cavities, gums, and everything. I knew that eventually I would have people looking and poking around my mouth, but because my teeth were so bad, I said to myself it's now or it's never!

I spoke with the receptionist, and she seemed so sweet and helpful. Then finally we set up an appointment for my first visit, needless to say, I was terrified. Than I met him.......The man, the dentist, the actual person that will change my Life.

When I met Dr. Choy I was afraid to open up my mouth, but his patience and tender understanding actually gave me a sense of trust that it was gonna be okay.

The best thing about it was he didn't make me feel bad about my then "horrible" smile. I did that all by myself. Dr. Choy and Dr. Do helped me! They all helped me through my transition from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan:-)

I thank God today, and everyday for Dr. Choy and Dr. Do, their very well trained Receptionist who's voice reached out and somehow said to me "its going to be okay". Today it is.

I tell my co-workers, boyfriend, and my kids, "I love my dentist", and I just Praise Dr. Choy for his amazing work and transformation on me. I say "Now I can Live"!

Thank you so much Dr. Choy, Dr. Do, & the awesome staff."

Going to the dentist has been one of my greatest fears. Maybe that’s why I purposely have been avoiding it for so many years until one day my teeth and gums could no longer handle the agony of pain.

I took a leap of faith and walked into Dr. Do’s office. Though we share a very cool last name, Dr. Do had to earn my trust.

I remembered my very first day with Dr. Do and her ohana. While sitting on the chair, we conversed about our personal lives and laughed like we have been friends for a long time. Once Dr. Do started working on my teeth, her humming calmed me down and her gentleness in handling my teeth took my anxiety away. Next minute I knew I went through my very first appointment with Dr. Do with such ease. She met my needs in a very caring way.

Now I look forward to seeing Dr. Do and her ohana. It’s like a little family visit every time I go.

In addition to Dr. Do’s care for her patients, her professionalism as a dentist is remarkable. Before I didn’t like to smile that much especially when taking pictures. Now I feel comfortable within myself and proud to show my happy smile. They often say “a smile goes a mile. “ My smile reaches out to others especially to the most important little people I work with, my students.

Thank you so much, Dr. Do, from the bottom of my heart. One day when I have a family of my own, you know where they will be going to get their teeth check. :)
