Craig S Inouye, DDS

Really great service. Fantastic cleaning with care and no pain. Solid dentistry. Wonderful assistants. He has been my dentist for 40 years and all my family – uses new techniques – keeps up on training. Doesn’t buy equipment that he doesn’t need so you don’t get billed for the fanciest new gadget. Sends one to a specialist if the work requires something that he doesn’t have. Cleaning, filling caps all done with excellent care. Closed Thursdays and open one Saturday each month.

This is the best dentist! He is so funny and kind and patient. I enjoy my visits!

Friendly and cheerful, Inouye sensei really cares about your teeth. Highly recommended if your in the east Bay Area.

Dr. Inouye genuinely cares for his patients.
He treated me like family, and it was easy to have a conversation with him. He noticed that my orthodontist oddly left room for my wisdom teeth to grow in. This perplexed him, but he said it worked in my case, although he wouldn’t recommend anyone else to do the same thing. He didn’t try to give me anything that I didn’t need.
Definitely will be my go to dentist in the east bay. Highly recommend.

I think the scariest part of going to the dentist is not the fear that it will hurt physically, but the fear that the dentist is going to be paying for his vacation home by doing lots of work that you don’t really need. So, it’s refreshing to find a dentist who doesn’t recommend a bunch of procedures the first (or even second) time he looks in your mouth! I’m new to Dr. Inouye, but so far I’ve been very happy. It’s a small practice — just him — and he takes his time with his patients. I never feel like he’s trying to make a buck off me — he just wants to do good work.

Maybe I went on a bad day. I had him clean my teeth once, his asst. came in to finish up but since she was the only one there she kept getting up to answer the phone. I did go to him again after I got a second opinion on a cavity under a crown. Made my appt. with him for 10am, the front desk first had to check my insurance, I paid up front over $ 700.00 for the work to be done, then they decide I need an x-​ray, another 40, told them my last doctor had a recent x-​ray, they say they have to wait for that before they could do any work. Since it was already 10:25 now and I hadn’t even been brought back to the chair I told them to give me my receipt for a refund and left. I felt the staff could have gotten me ready in the chair, even taken an x-​ray, tell me I needed it, even pay the 40 bucks yourself if you think I wasn’t gonna give it to you. I can’t believe this doctor lost out on a thousand dollar procedure because of 40.00 x-​ray. I suppose he doesn’t need to buisness.

Best dentist ever! Will not do unneeded work! Known him for 17 years.

My husband has gone to Dr. Inouye for over 20 years. Now my daughter and I do. He is the most honest, kind dentist I have ever known. He is very conservative and cannot consciously do unnecessary dental work. I recommend him without reservation.
