About Hawaii Family Dental - Kihei

Dentists Dr. Thomas and Dr. Mello are repeatedly credited with calming even highly anxious patients through extractions and deep cleanings.

Hawaii Family Dental - Kihei is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign and traditional braces. Many reviews describe a notably gentle chairside approach from Dr. Thomas and Dr. Mello, including patients who fell asleep during cleanings or felt safe despite significant dental anxiety. The front desk and billing team are also credited with untangling insurance issues, in one case saving a patient over $1,400. Scheduling gets mixed feedback: some patients get same-day emergency repairs, while others describe long waits for a rescheduled opening.

I recently switched to Hawaii Family Dental and couldn't be happier! Everyone I've worked with from the front desk, appointment representatives, billing specialist, hygienists, dental assistants, and Dr. Thomas himself have been extremely nice, welcoming, personable, patient, and professional. I am extra appreciative that they worked with my personal needs on a treatment plan while I waited for my new insurance to take effect. The sweet aunty at the front desk made sure that the new insurance was billed correctly on time for me and saved me over $1,400! I have had two dental cleanings and one crown procedure since being a patient and have had all good experiences. I would definitely recommend Dr. Thomas and his team!

I have been a patient at Hawaii Family Dental for the past two years, and recently I experienced an incredibly painful toothache. I called the main office, explained that I was in severe pain, and asked if I could see a dentist as soon as possible. I was asked the standard emergency questions—whether I was bleeding or had a fever. I explained that I had neither, but that I was in significant pain. Unfortunately, they could not accommodate me and told me they would call me back. I was told that the earliest available appointment could be about a month away, and I was even advised to go to the emergency room. At that point, I was extremely frustrated and decided to call other dental offices in the area. Thankfully, I found another dentist who was able to see me the very next morning. Then, unexpectedly, I received a phone call from my amazing dentist, Dr. Helena Mello. She had heard about my situation and wanted to help me immediately. I honestly could not believe it. She was kind, compassionate, and went above and beyond to arrange an appointment for me right away. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Mello’s knowledge, expertise, and careful diagnosis. She discovered that I had a cracked tooth and took the time to clearly explain my treatment options, including the financial options available to me. This allowed me to make an informed decision that was right for me and my tooth. Dr. Mello’s compassion and dedication truly made a difference during a very stressful and painful experience. I feel very fortunate to have a dentist who genuinely cares about her patients. Thank you again, Dr. Mello, for being such an amazing, compassionate, and knowledgeable dentist. I truly appreciate you!
