Your First Visit Sets the Tone for Everything After
Whether you are new to Kailua Kona, coming back after years away, or simply ready for a dentist who listens — your first visit at Tropical Smiles Dental is designed to give you a complete, honest picture of your oral health.
Dr. Nitta reviews your results with you in plain language, and we discuss every recommendation before a single thing is scheduled. You will never feel sold to. If anxiety has kept you away, our comfort-first approach applies to first visits too.
- Complete health history and digital X-rays as needed
- Full exam of teeth, gums, jaw, and bite
- Oral cancer screening included
- Honest, plain-language review of findings
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Here is the visit, start to finish
Paperwork — Ahead of Time
Complete the paperwork our team sends after your appointment is scheduled so your chair time is all about you, not the clipboard.

A full health history review, digital X-rays as needed, a comprehensive exam, and an oral cancer screening — all explained as we go.
Your Honest Review
We walk through everything together: what is healthy, what to watch, and what (if anything) needs attention — with options and costs outlined.
