Great service from front desk staff Maile, the Dental Hygienist Chloe and the Dentist Dr. Andrews. Everyone communicated their plan, commented on concerns and good things I was doing for my teeth and dental hygiene. They are fast, efficient, accurate in assessments and simply delightful. Ironically, I was sitting down at a table on an outing with a total of 7 people. We started talking about our Dentists. We come from all over the West part of the island. As a result of our random conversation, we recognized 5 out of the 7 of us go to Kona Coast Dental. What are those odds? All conversations were very supportive and complimentary! Their work is superlative. We are fortunate to have them on island. They do take dental insurance as well, which is a true blessing.

Dr. Ellis and team are professional and yet you feel at ease and comfortable. From routine cleaning to doing a root canal. I have confidence in this practice. Mahalo! BTW My last cleaning felt as clean as I’ve ever had…
Root canals are needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes diseased. This can happen either when a cavity goes untreated and infection spreads to the pulp, or when a tooth undergoes some sort of trauma that allows bacteria inside. In either case, we can usually save the tooth with root canal treatment.
While they have that reputation, most patients find a root canal no more uncomfortable than receiving a filling. The procedure eliminates pain; it doesn’t cause it! We’ll numb your mouth with local anesthesia so you don’t feel pain.
Treatment costs can vary greatly for a root canal, so you will need to come in for an initial exam and imaging before we can give you a cost for your particular procedure. For your convenience, we do offer several flexible payment options, including financing through a third party.
