At Windward Smiles, we’re all about

Preserving Smiles. Inspiring Health. Sharing Aloha.

We’re a family-owned Windward dental practice, built on care, integrity, and community.

Founded by Dr. Russell Kim to serve the Windward community with compassionate, high-quality dentistry, the practice has grown from traditional care into a prevention-focused, minimally invasive, whole-health approach.

Today, that mission continues with the addition of his son, Dr. Riley Kim — bringing together experience and innovation to serve generations of Windward families.

Dedicated to Windward

Located in the heart of Kāneʻohe, we’re proud to care for patients across the Windward side—welcoming families from Kahuku to Waimānalo with compassionate, high-quality dental care through minimally invasive techniques that preserve natural teeth and reflect the spirit of aloha.

Community-driven health practice

A community health dental practice. Windward Smiles is growing into a community-driven health practice where dentistry plays a meaningful role in prevention, chronic disease awareness, and medical-dental collaboration. Rooted in aloha and guided by science, we are building a modern model of care focused.

Dentistry should protect health—not just fix problems.

Disease is preventable. We believe natural teeth should be preserved whenever possible. We believe ethical, minimally invasive care leads to better lifelong outcomes. Our purpose is to help patients stay healthy longer through education, early intervention, and dentistry that supports whole-body wellness.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Kim and his wonderful staff! Even with all the challenges presented by covid, they have been there for their patients and invested in the highest quality prevention measures to keep everyone safe. During my last visit, an issue came up that required a much longer intervention than expected. In spite of this, Dr. Kim kept working until he completed the repair, even when I offered to make another appointment to come back and finish it. There was no pressure or stress, just his calm, patient, reassuring presence. The delay also affected Eric's schedule for my cleaning but, he, too, was relaxed and gracious. I left the office feeling so grateful for everyone in the practice. Of course they are all skilled professionals, but there is an additional element that makes this practice so unique. I would call it love and devotional service. And that element makes all the difference.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a patient of Dr Russell Kim  for over 30 years. His professional manner and happy conversational ways always calm me down as he examines and fixes my teeth. He genuinely cares for the teeth, jaw, gums and feelings of his patients and treats us with genuine care and respect. I have referred many of my friends to him and they love his genuine caring for his patients. He is one in a million … I thank Dr. Kim so much!
