Wesley P Yemoto, DDS

As always, the very best! It only takes one visit to Dr. Yemoto and you’d never go to anyone else!

Fantastic, as always. Love you guys!

I don’t know why I haven’t posted a review sooner. I second all the earlier reviews of Dr. Yemoto and his staff – they are terrific. From the little touches like the carnations for departing patients to the sheer professionalism and compassion of Dr. Yemoto this office is the best around. Plus, they have the warmest, softest blankets for you if you feel a chill!

My family LOVES Dr. Yemoto. We’ve been going to him for years, all the office staff are wonderful and my kids and I feel very comfortable in their care. Our pearly whites are proof!

Dr. Yemoto and his staff are great!!! I just transferred here from another dentist, who wasn’t personable at all. They have early hours at 7:30, so it is easy to get in before getting to work. Everyone was so friendly and made me feel comfortable. I love the nice soft blankets they give you when sitting on the exam chair. They truly go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of their patients. I am glad that my friend referred me to him and I plan to stay with this dentist office permanently.

This Dentist is gentle, conscientious, a great communicator, great chairside manner & is a perfectionist. =) Dr & staff are compassionate & highly trained professionals. Love this office!

The entire staff at Dr. Yemoto’s office are ANGELS. I was nervous about booking an appointment as I had bad dental experiences in the past, but I am so glad I decided to put my excuses aside and schedule an appointment.
The receptionist, dentist, dentist assistant, and hygienist all made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They wrapped a blanket around me because I was cold and ensured I got a little extra TLC. They made the x-​ray process as pleasant as possible, gently placing the film strips into my mouth and quickly taking it out to prevent further discomfort. My past dentists seem rushed and unsympathetic towards the fact that the film strips HURT!
Dr. Yemoto was very informative and gave me great feedback. His knowledge and patience is greatly appreciated.
The hygienist was a sweet lady who asked if I was doing alright the entire time. I told her my sob dental stories and she was very kind and understanding. Before cleaning my teeth, she placed this topical cream on gums to numb them. This made the cleaning a lot more bearable. Why don’t all hygienists do this? She was very thorough while cleaning and took the full hour scraping and scrubbing away.
I appreciate the staff’s attention to detail and customer service values. I’m looking forward to my next visit as I was told they also offer free aroma therapy sessions! Apparently my teeth needed the full hour of cleaning or else I would have had time to relax in their aroma therapy room.
They offer you flowers and a bag of goodies before you leave.
The end result: A set of teeth that are noticeably whiter and cleaner! I don’t understand why I can’t clean my teeth every month, instead of every 6 months. Who made up this rule?!
Do your teeth a favor and schedule an appointment at Dr. Yemoto’s office. Your teeth will thank you!

Dr Yemoto rocks! I really appreciate his conservative treatment approach — he’s never recommended any procedures that weren’t clearly necessary, often taking a «let’s wait and see» approach. I go in every 6 months for a cleaning, and his hygenists are gentle, encouraging and very pleasant. His office staff is very efficient and friendly — the whole operation is just a really well-​run business.
I’ve been a patient there for ~10 years, and was referred by a friend. My old dentist had been pressuring me to take antibiotics before my appts, since I have an «innocent» heart murmur. (Note: the AHA no longer recommends antibiotic prophylaxis for innocent murmurs, and it was being seriously questioned then.) I set up an initial appt with Dr Yemoto to discuss this, and he said that it was _​my_​decision. I can’t tell you how great it was to be treated like an adult who could make an informed decision, after dealing with the yahoo that I’d been going to!

Dr. Yemoto and his staff are all fantastic. I found him a few years ago after a bad experience with a dentist that clearly didn’t have his patients interests at heart. Dr Yemoto is the complete opposite. He has earned 100% of my trust. Every visit is a pleasure and I know he’s taking care of me. The office was recently remodeled and is beautiful and comfortable. Joan, my hygienist is also fantastic. I couldn’t be happier with this dentist.

My mother and brother have gone to Dr. Yemoto for over 17 years. I never made the switch until my college years. I have to say, I hate the Dentist, always have, always will. (no offense, but my first Dentist Dr. Fisher scarred me for life) My father took me to another baby dentist and I loved him — Dr. Wong. When I found out Dr. Wong was retiring, I knew I had to go to an adult dentist. I mean, I could reach the doorknob to let myself in and out of the office at Dr. Wong’s and how fun is it to sit and watch cartoons with little kids. He didn’t care, he took me anyways :) That was when I switched to go to Dr. Yemoto. He was great from the beginning. Explaining everything as we went along and he was gentle. I started seeing the hygienist, Joan, who I absolutely love!!! We always have great conversations about work, kids, vacations, etc. Although it’s hard to answer when she’s in my mouth. :) She’s very gentle and very good. I can’t imagine seeing another hygienist — that’s why I always wait until she’s available to see her.
What’s great about this office is that they have the latest technology. Joan writes down my gum pockets on the computer screen and schedules my appointments after she’s done and prints out a card for me. They remodeled their office a few years back and it looks great.
Robin is the front receptionist who always welcomes you when you arrive. She calls to confirm your appointments and is always friendly. The other lady at the front desk handles the insurance and she’s very nice. She always reminds me to take a flower.
Dr. Yemoto keeps his staff happy since I’ve seen the same people for years! I do travel 45 minutes to the Dentist but it’s all worth it! I just never schedule my appointments at 7:30 am anymore since I’ll hit traffic going home. The office is also closed on Fridays — must be nice!

I love this man! Dr. Yemoto is a sweet, kind person who genuinely has his patients needs and best interests at heart.
I started going to him a few years ago and couldn’t be happier. He goes the extra mile on things you would never think of (ie… he moistens the gauze before putting in your mouth, and applies some lip balm after your exam when your lips get dry). These little «extras» make a HUGE difference. His office is nice, too!
The staff is amazing. All of them are so nice and helpful. It really makes for the most positive of dental experiences. They even give you a pencil and a flower when you leave :-)

I have just started going here and I am SO happy I took my friends recomendation:) The staff is amazing, both my husband and I go here and we love Joan. Dr. Yemoto is really kind and gentle as I am very nervous around dentists. I have always been terrified of going to the dentist but now I find myself slowly relaxing with each visit. If you are looking for a dentist, look no further!

Dr. Yemoto is the best dentist! I’ve been his patient for almost 20 years. My mom referred me to Dr. Yemoto after a terrible experience with another dentist. Dr. Yemoto repaired all the work done by the other dentist, painlessly. Dr. Yemoto is so good, I still go to him even though I moved an hour away… six years ago. Dr. Yemoto is worth the drive. His office now offers aromatherapy with your treatment. A nice heated eye mask covered my eyes, soothing scents were sprayed througout the treatment, and then a light face and neck massage finished the experience. Dr. Yemoto, and his staff are the best!

Dr. Yemoto is technically fine. He explains things well. His dental hygienist was also excellent with my son. My only problem was his fees. He’s extremely expensive, and you feel like he’s pushing the most expensive services possible. For example, he recommended I replace my fillings with expensive porcelain refills because of microfractures. However, I found out later that these fractures are normal and don’t require replacement. It’s like the mechanic recommending you change your tires when they’re 50% worn when you’ve got another few thousand miles on them. His billing person failed to explain that my insurance only covered 50% of the service cost.

I’ve been going to Dr. Yemoto for over 15 years! He is the best! Dr. Yemoto is not your stereotypical dentist who you’re afraid to see every six months. Dr Yemoto is very professional, gentle, friendly, and thorough. He even checks your mouth and neck area for issues.
His entire staff is super nice and friendly. I’ve known Robin, the Scheduling Coordinator, for as long as I can remember. She’s always smiling and acknowledges you by first name the second you walk in the door. «Don’t forget to take a flower!», she’ll always say as you walk out. They always seem to have fresh flowers in a vase for you to take home (one of course :))
Joan is my hygienist. I’ve been going to her for several years now after Debbie retired. (Debbie was great too!) Joan is very thorough and explains every step to you. She’s always got a smile on her face and makes you feel at home.
If you are looking for a great dentist, I highly recommended Dr Wesley Yemoto + staff.

Imagine, a 5 year old asian girl running through a dental office screaming bloody murder as her dentist is holding that huge Novacaine shot in his hand (does anyone even pay attention to the length of that darn needle??). Her older brother and mother begin chasing her around the office trying to catch her, eventually pinning her down to the dental chair and forcing her mouth open to allow for the dentist to give her a shot to yank out her two front teeth because her mutant like baby teeth apparently had large roots and did not «fall out» on their own and instead began to rott.
Yes, it was me, and it was truly traumatizing… (tear drop). I am not joking about the visual either. It really happened that way!
So, here I am, 25 years later and I have become better at taking care of my teeth to avoid shots, and very picky about the kind of dentist I go to. Truly, some dentists are more gentle and less abrupt when giving shots and doing dental work. A good dentist can make you barely notice that they are giving you a shot. That is the kind of dentist that Dr. Yemoto is. His staff and office are friendly and inviting and they give you a flower at the end of your appt!
Lastly, Dr. Yemoto is a humanitarian (a few days out of the year, they provide FREE dental work to children that do not have the means to afford quality dental care), and he takes his staff on a nice vacation trip every year. Trust me, his staff stick around because he treats them well. My hygenist is Joan, and she is a very sweet lady also!
