Eugene T Kita, DDS

My family has been going to Dr. Kita for over 16 years and we couldn’t be any happier with the treatment we receive. He is gentle with the dental tools and I always trust his judgement.

Outstanding service, care, and thoroughness here! Dr. Kita does the cleanings himself and is so gentle with the pick. He also gives a very thorough consultation and puts you at ease. Out of all the dentists I’ve gone to in my life, he’s definitely my favorite one. Just one minor complaint though… I wish their tooth polish tasted better, but that won’t keep me from returning. P. S. His assistant Georgina is a joy to talk to during the prep work.

My fiancé and I have both had cleanings by Dr. Kita. He is amazing!!! I haven’t been to a dentist of this caliber in years– highly recommended!!! I received a very thorough and painless cleaning while enjoying partial conversation (it’s hard to talk to the dentist with tools and x-​ray cards in your mouth). He shared stories about his family, asked me about my profession, and was very pleasant all around. The office was very nice and had up to date equipment. The receptionist at Dr. Kita’s office was very sweet and friendly– she helped me set up an appointment for my spouse, who was a little more reluctant to visit. However, once he made it in he also had an excellent experience and thanked me for finding such an awesome dentist. Thanks Unilocal!Fellow Unilocaler reviews really helped us when selecting a dentist who accepted Metlife.
Dr. Kita gave me a lot of great advice, for example, he told me I am NOT a good candidate for teeth whitening because of the high levels of fluoride in my water as a kid (thanks NJ.) and that my teeth would basically glow in the dark, black light style. I really appreciate this kind of honest and accurate statement, versus some of the dentists in the past who have told me they’d be more than happy to whiten my teeth for additional fees. Dr. Kita shared that if I used baking soda and peroxide my tea stained teeth would become whiter and upon following his instructions they do in fact look better. He also pointed out the areas where I needed to brush better. areas where I never would have guessed but weren’t doing as well. I left with a new toothbrush, some special toothpaste, and the relief of being cavity free.
Although it’s a little bit of a drive from Half Moon Bay going to this dentist is completely worth it. We had to wait a few months to get an appointment– also worth it! Already have our 6 month cleanings set up for next time.

dr. kita is amazing. I had not been to the denist in 2 years and dr. kita was very understanding and reasonable and really looks out for your best interest. I’m defiantly a customer for life. thank you dr. kita

I’ve hated dentists in general but not any more. I’ve had a problem with a sore tooth for a year and my old dentist could not figure it out. Dr. Kita saw the problem immediately (literary within seconds) as I came in and I was treated right away. Couldn’t be happier.

1. He came to my rescue on Christmas Eve– in the evening! Who does that?! Dr. Kita does, good man!
2. He didn’t immediately insist on an implant (like most dentists would have) but suggested alternatives that I am half way in the process of. :)
3. Dr. Kita is incredibly nice, skilled, patient, kind.
4. Melanie is also super cool, comforting and knowledgeable.
5. I had a root canal done so I have every reason to be freaked out when I visit his office but I am not. :) They’re both awesome!

Every six months, I drive all the way from San Jose to Burlingame just to see Dr. Kita. He’s that good.

Best dentist I’ve ever had. I’ve been going to him over 16 years!
He does a great job!

I have been here for two years now! Dr Kita is super nice. We chat every time he looks into my mouth and to my surprise, he actually remembers our conversations. Makes me feel more comfortable as my dentist actually cares to remember my life/​stories. My one hour with him is actually a LOT less painful than other hours I have spent with my previous dentists. Overall, nice dentist and staff that care enough to establish long term relationship with their clients.

Easily the best dentist I’ve been to. I originally went based on the Unilocal reviews — and I have not been let down!
When I went in for my first visit with Dr. Kita, I had not been to the dentist in several years. I’m lucky in that I didn’t have any cavities. I haven’t been that great about taking care of my teeth, so Dr. Kita was sure to let me know that, in a kind, caring way.
I’ve since been taking good care of my teeth and I’ve been back for my second visit and I continue to be impressed. Dr. Kita is both professional and personable at the same time. Chantal is very skilled and a joy to be around.
I’d recommend Dr. Kita to anyone.

By far the absolute BEST dentist I have ever had. I don’t even work or live near Dr. Kita anymore and still go to him. My In-​laws live in San Bruno so I usually make it a whole day affair to visit them and see Dr. Kita for my dental appts. He is so warm and genuine and truly cares about his patients. He’s a great conversationalist too. I used to be a little fearful of the dentist but with Dr. Kita, I’m totally at ease. He cleans teeth with complete detail. He’s fantastic!

I am not one of those afraid-​of-​the-​dentist folks. I have never had a cavity, and my teeth are in good shape, so I don’t have much reason to fear the twice yearly visits.
I was referred to Dr. Kita by my sister, and am so glad I chose to see him. Not only is he a great dentist (he cleaned my teeth with more detail than a dentist ever has before), but he is also über friendly and informative.
Another plus — lunchtime appointments! =)

Dr. Kita is by far the best dentist I’ve ever had.
He is a great guy and a very shrewd doctor. I mean aside from comfortable and efficient check ups, he and I spend a great deal of time just talking and catching up.
Everyone I know loves him and my entire family sees him regularly. He was genuinely concerned and helpful when my brother got jumped and punched in the mouth. He took x-​rays and gave him an antiseptic rinse.
Plus! Being a block from my Mom’s house, I have fond memories of waking up late on the day of my appointment and just sprinting there with seconds to spare.
I highly recommend Dr. Kita. He offers much more kindness and insight than the average doctor-​patient relationship. This is the first and only occasion where I wish I could give six stars.
