    Be cautious when dealing with this dental office. They have some questionable practices that you should be aware of. For instance, they send text messages warning that you will be fined if you cancel an appointment without 24 hours' notice. Yet, on the morning of my appointment, I received a text informing me that my hygienist was out sick—without any prior warning. But that’s not all. Despite sending them my insurance details ahead of time, calling to confirm if they accepted my insurance, and even asking in person if my cleaning would be fully covered, they assured me multiple times that I was "covered." However, I later discovered that this office is actually out of network for my insurance. This means they provided me with misleading and incorrect information. To add insult to injury, I received a surprise bill in the mail. When I called my insurance company, they confirmed that this office was indeed out of network and should never have assured me that I was "fully covered." When I contacted the office to discuss the bill, the person I spoke with gave me a series of conflicting and inaccurate explanations: 1.) They claimed they couldn’t check ahead of time if I was in or out of network (a statement that contradicts their earlier assurances). 2.) They falsely stated that I hadn’t provided my insurance information in advance, even though I had sent it weeks before my appointment. 3.) They inaccurately assumed that I had already had a dental checkup earlier this year, which was not the case. If you value honesty and transparency, especially if you have PPO dental insurance, I strongly recommend avoiding this dental office. Their lack of integrity and clear communication could end up costing you more than just money.

    Great family run business. Trust worthy, professional, and modern. I've used Kawata dental for decades.

    I've been going to Kawata Dental for all my dental work since about 2018. I don't even bother researching other dentists although I'm sure many do excellent work. THEY'RE JUST THAT GOOD! That's all there is to say I imagine.

    As someone who is terrified of dentists I've had a great experience and now feel more at ease coming to dentist office having found great care and service at Kawata Dental. I also really loved that here they didn't make me wait, someone was always in attending to me, I've barely had to sit there and anxiously wait for anyone. The fast pace of service is so important. Highly recommend.
