Paul K Tanaka, DDS

I can’t stress how much I appreciate Dr. Tanaka and his staff! In the beginning of this year, I’ve recently had really bad front teeth, I had cracked it when I was younger and received a «temp filling». He was able to fix my smile and make it look a million times better. I love it.
The downfall, couple of weeks ago, my tooth chipped again. I’m very pleased with who Dr. Tanaka was able to take me in even without an appointment. For that, I am forever grateful. Otherwise, I’d be walking around with a chipped tooth. This chipped tooth has nothing to do with his work, I was told because I do some heavy grinding at night, it’s recommended I get a night guard. Due to financial obligations I’m not able to get it but I’m glad that Dr. tanaka and his staff are so helpful and friendly and really help me as much as they can. I absolutely love Dr. Tanaka and his crew. I have got to say that Dr. tanaka is number one in my world! :)

I changed over to Dr. Tanaka a little over a year ago and have not regret it since. I have always hated going to the dentist, but now I don’t mind it at all. In fact, I actually look forward to it. Dr. Tanaka and his team make the whole going to the dentist a really enjoyable experience. From the different themes he has going on to actually getting the chance to ask questions and really understand your chart better, I would definitely recommend Dr. Tanaka to anyone looking for a new dentist.

Dr. Tanaka has managed to change the dreaded dental experience to a party scene. You may think the office decorations, snacks and beverages are just a ploy to take your mind off the real business. But not so. The work is painless and on the cutting edge technologically. It really is painless and you forget everything for longer visits because you get to watch a movie of your choice. His staff is the same… very supportive of a light hearted environment and very willing to give you any information that you need. I’m hooked now that I know a better way is possible!

Dr. Tanaka is excellent!
The office is always decorated in a new theme every time I go. This week was a Vegas motif and you can fill in a keno card to win a prize. They also have coffee, tea, water, juice, and snacks go enjoy in the lobby and always have a newspaper handy for idle reading.
They have 3 or 4 chairs in the back. When you get your teeth clean you can watch the fish swim in the fish tank so that’s relaxing.
Everything is state of the art. They have a picture of what each of my teeth looks like on the computer. All of the cleaning tools are electronic.
When I went, first they checked my jaw, bite and lymph nodes. Then the hygienist measured my gums and do some other checks. Then she brushed my teeth with a slow speed polisher. Then instead of the usual teeth scrapers (I guess they are called scalpers), this one is electronic. For good measure she followed up with a manual scaler. Finished up with flossing and fluoride and I wad good. My teeth are sooooo clean after I leave.
They keep contemporaneous records of my allergies, new medical issues, etc.
Thanks Dr. Tanaka and his awesome hygienists!

Dr. Tanaka is FANTASTIC! Every time I walk through his door, I feel like I’m a celebrity. Subsequently, the whole entire visit feels like I’m receiving the Ritz Carlton 5 star treatment. I went in for replacement of my amalgam fillings, and I didn’t want to leave. The staff treated me to a movie of my choice to keep me distracted, numbed the area before using the needle (painless might I add), and ended with a nice lemon scented towel to wipe my face clean. On top of that, I left with tasty treats and a chance to win a gift basket of great goodies. If you think this is wonderful… this will happen ALL the time you go into this office for any procedure. The professionalism of his staff and his knowledge is bar none!!!
