Best in the state. Really friendly, treats you like someone special, not just another patient. Pain free, fast, really informative on the whole process. Staff is great as well and friendly. Everyone鈥檚 dentist should refer to Dr Garakani every time.

Dr. Sasan is the BEST! From the beginning of my referral from my Dentist to my first installation of an implant, which was fully completed in 35 minutes with precision and gentle touch. His new Kona office is staffed by friendly professionals. His chair-side compassionate care, and completion of 5000 procedures over 10 years and (trained at Harvard, as a teaching professor of implant procedures) experience, makes him an asset to our Big Island residents.
I was hesitant of the cost as I shopped for the most economical price. Kona Dental was my choice not just due to price- but because they really do care for their patients.
I highly recommend Kona Dental Implants and Dr. Sasan, for your restorative dentistry needs and my favorite periodontist. 馃尯馃榿馃尯

I drive 90 miles from Volcano to Kona for treatment with Dr. Garakani. I would drive twice as far if necessary. The doctor is friendly, knowledgable, and communicates clearly. I had a cutting edge laser treatment for my gums. I would recommend him to my closest (my wife is also a patient). Free parking in Kona's competitive downtown is an added plus!

Very happy with my visit. Office staff and Dr are very friendly and professional. Parking is paid for. Dr is very experienced. I highly recommend!!! He operates with no pain at all. I was so comfortable, I almost fell asleep. This has been the best experience ever, in an oral surgeons chair. If you need his services, don't be hesitant, schedule a consultation. He's Awesome!!! I promise you wont regret it.

Wow doctor and the staff are incredible so friendly. Doctor Sasan takes the time to explain his procedure, And makes sure that you are comfortable. I went in for laser surgery for some bone loss totally painless during the procedure little bit sore afterwards but I do it again. Way better than deep cleaning at the dentist.

About Kona Dental Implants - Dr. Sasan Garakani
Kona Dental Implants is a periodontal and dental implant practice located at 75-5706 Hanama Place in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The practice focuses on gum health and tooth replacement, offering dental implant care that ranges from single tooth implants and implant-supported bridges for multiple missing teeth to All-on-4 full mouth dental implants that replace an entire arch of failing or missing teeth. Other services listed on the practice's website include full mouth reconstruction, tooth extractions with an implant-friendly approach, non-surgical gum treatment and deep cleaning, gummy smile correction, emergency services, and LANAP laser gum treatment, which the practice describes as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery with no stitches or scalpels. The office states that it uses Straumann implants exclusively and that some patients may be candidates for same-day implants.
Although the office is based in Kailua-Kona, the practice welcomes patients from across the Big Island, including Hilo, Waimea, Waikoloa, Kealakekua, Captain Cook, Pahoa, and the Puna District. A referral is not required to schedule a consultation, and the first visit includes a complete oral examination and a three-dimensional scan to help build a personalized treatment plan. The practice says its primary goal is to preserve natural teeth and explore conservative options before recommending extraction. It works with most major PPO insurance plans and offers financing options for treatments not covered by insurance. Office hours are weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the office can be reached at (808) 329-0080.
