Dr. Scott Kanamori

Upcountry Maui moves at a different pace, and so do its dental needs. Routine cleanings, fillings, or sudden toothaches don’t wait for the next ferry—you need a local office that keeps the same hours as the rest of Makawao. Dr. Scott Kanamori operates at 3434 Haleakala Hwy, a low-slung building just past the post office where the highway begins its climb toward the ranchlands. The address puts you minutes from the main drag, yet far enough that the trade winds still carry the scent of eucalyptus instead of traffic. Preventive care, emergency extractions, crowns, bridges, and simple cosmetic work are all handled in the same quiet room. When the molar starts throbbing on a Friday afternoon, you can call (808) 572-0822 without worrying about an answering service.
