I have been going to Dr.Carter for several years now and have NEVER been disappointed in the care I have received.
I have been going to Dr.Carter for several years now and have NEVER been disappointed in the care I have received. All procedures have been explained to me so I knew how we were going to proceed. He answered any questions I may have had and made sure I was never in distress. He also was in contact with my regular dentist so all was well coordinated. The staff have always been helpful and cheerful. I would never consider going to any other dentist. In my books he is A-1. I have recommended him to several friends and no one has been disappointed!

The care at Maui Oral Surgery was superb.
The care at Maui Oral Surgery was superb. Dr. Carter took care to explain everything in detail. His technical skills were excellent and his bedside manner was pleasant and comforting. I felt absolutely nothing during the procedure and throughout the postop recovery period. The staff was wonderful. I am an RN and I watched them closely as they set up the surgical trays. They were obviously highly skilled. All the staff made a point of making me feel welcomed and comfortable. The rooms were clean and spacious. The entire experience was of the highest caliber and I would recommend Dr. Carter and company to anyone that required oral surgery.

“GREAT STAFF!!! Outstanding professionals, led by Dr. Carter. Receptionists know patients by first name. Assistants are all very capable. Entire office is very patient-friendly. Have two experiences here with each experience requiring multiple visits, starting from initial visit to final check-up and clearance. Oral surgery is not something anyone seeks out but if you are in need of this kind of dental care, this is the place. I have seen three different dentists on two different islands. When they recommended oral surgery, Dr. Carter was the name that all three mentioned. Thank you to Dr. Carter and his staff for taking care of me, both times! Mahalo and Aloha! ”

I am so happy that I went to see Dr. Carter!"I am so happy that I went to see Dr. Carter! He was able to take care of something that other oral surgeons had not been able to. There had been an ongoing infection from failed dental implants that two other doctors could not heal. Dr. Carter cured the infection and then he did the follow up necessary bone grafts to repair the bone that the infection had damaged. He then completed the work with successful dental implants. He and the people in his office are wonderful. I've already recommended a friend of the family to him, and they were able to fit him into their schedule. Thank you for everything, Dr. Carter. It's nice to know you are there if ever I need any more oral surgery!"

Dr. Carter is an excellent oral surgeon.
“Dr. Carter is an excellent oral surgeon. Tooth extraction and implant preparation went very smoothly in a relaxed atmosphere. The procedure was thoroughly explained and each session involved minimum discomfort and went according to the plan. Their office coordinated with the other dentists involved in the total implant process. My unique scheduling were easily accommodated. Maggie, the coordinator, stayed in contact with me before and after the appointments and, after consulting with Dr. Carter, promptly provided answers to my concerns, ranging from drug interactions to follow-up care.

With great skill, precision, and current technology, he zeroes in on each patient’s need.
“Most people, in their lifetime, will need the services of an oral surgeon. For me, I’ve experienced that need over time when residing in different states. By far, Dr. Carter is the most professional in every way. With great skill, precision, and current technology, he zeros in on each patient’s need. He focuses on ensuring that you are physically comfortable before, during and after procedures. He even calls you at home on the evening of surgery to check on you. All of my consultations, extractions, and implants have been done impeccably. His office staff is no less stellar. I always refer my friends to Dr. Carter. Why not?”

I had the most pleasant experience EVER at Maui Oral Surgery.
“I just want to start off by saying I had the most pleasant experience EVER at Maui Oral Surgery. I am terrified to say the least of needles and any dental work. They fit me in for wisdom tooth extraction. I showed up crying and beyond nervous – Pat brought me back for X-rays (while crying) and she asked and made sure I was okay – then brought me back for the procedure and Dr. Carter came into the room. He explained what he was going to do prior to doing and I did not even feel the two needles he gave me or the extraction. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to go here. From the receptionist to assistant, Pat, and Dr. Carter – everyone was very professional and made you feel comfortable throughout the entire experience.”

He made sure I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way and the finished product is nothing short of phenomenal.
“I don’t know the correct words nor am I sure the words even exist, to explain the gratitude I feel for Dr. Todd Carter and his wonderful staff for the experience of having my dental implants done by Dr. Carter. He made sure I knew exactly what to expect every step of the way and the finished product is nothing short of phenomenal. I still can’t stop looking at my reflection and it’s been a month since the final implants were put. Dr. Carter even called the evening after the surgery to see how I was doing and I was fine. And I might add, at no time was I ever, not ever in any pain. Dr. Carter is a wonderful man with a great personality, but make no mistake, when he starts to work he totally is focused on his patient. I will know how to thank him and his incredible staff for all their hard work and expertise. Thank you again Dr. Carter.”

My experience with Maui Oral Surgery was world class in all respects."My experience with Maui Oral Surgery was world class in all respects. My procedure included two extractions and three implants. Dr. Carter was very kind with his patience and explanations regarding the procedure. He was responsive to follow-up questions even though he had begun his scheduled vacation. The procedure was a total success and I completed my post procedure examinations on June 30, 2016. I found all of Dr. Carter’s staff to be professional, responsive and helpful. Most everyone is apprehensive about dental surgery. I felt Maui Oral Surgery was a compassionate partner with me. I recommend Dr. Carter and his staff to anyone in need of dental surgery."

There is not enough space in this review to express how appreciative I am for their outstanding service. Dr. Carter is genuinely committed to his patients, and is a credit to his profession.

In a week I will get my crown and I can’t wait to rock my new tooth! If you’re thinking about doing an implant please visit Dr. Carter and his friendly staff! They will make you feel comfortable before, during and after the procedure. Don’t worry, I was scared about doing the implant, trust me a root canal feels worst!

. . . they keep appointments on time and are professional.
I went to Maui Oral Surgery for an implant after a prior implant placement in Los Angeles failed so I knew what to expect. First, they keep appointments on time and are professional. The procedure performed by Dr. Carter went well and I did not experience pain during or afterwards but was prepared by the post-op instructions just in case. Best of all the implant was a success and after a few follow up checkups I'm on to having my crown made! So I'm happy with the experience and cost was similar to my prior procedure."

Dr. Carter is truly a wonderful surgeon. I am very sensitive and I told him to take good care of me and he did. I have a new implant to smile about.

…would not hesitate to have Dr. Carter perform any type of oral surgery.The prospect of having implants seemed at first to be very worrisome! I had two teeth in need of replacement and was very anxious about the surgery where one included a sinus lift. My motivation to have these implants was heightened by the fact that they were both on one side and were affecting eating significantly. I must admit that everything went very, very well and to date have not had the slightest concern or problem. Dr. Carter is very good and his staff is excellent. I am very particular about my health care providers and would not hesitate to have Dr. Carter perform any type of oral surgery. Maui generally has, in my opinion, poor quality medical providers but Dr. Carter is the exception. I highly recommend his work!

The kindness and care that you showed us far exceeded anything I expected.“I wanted to extend my deep appreciation to all of you for the superior work and care that you gave us last week. My 3 year-old daughter came in to have two teeth extracted. The kindness and care that you showed us far exceeded anything I expected. Not only was she unaffected by this experience, she actually enjoyed it. Dr. Carter is her favorite. She received a book from the tooth fairy and wants to come back so you can out more teeth and she can get more prizes! Thank you again for everything. The call from the doctor that night was appreciated more than you could possibly know. Thank you everyone for making this little girls first dental visit a great experience. With much aloha,

…there was no pain…Just a quick note to thank you for doing such a good job with my implant on Friday. I was expecting to be semi-comatose after the procedure. However, the real experience was that 90 minutes after it, when the numbness left, there was no pain (Mr. pain had left the room!). Count me “in” with the group that appreciates the years of study you endured to hone your skills to allow something like this to happen.”
