Pleased to meet you!

Dr. Christian Tamashiro DDS

General Dentistry | ʻEkahi Dental Solutions Inc.

Born and raised on the island of Oʻahu, I grew up in Palolo with my parents and grandparents. We eventually moved to Hawaii Kai, where I currently reside. I graduated from the Kamehameha Schools Kapālama Campus in 2016 with honors. I then went on to receive my Bachelor’s of Science degree from the University of Oregon in 2020. Majoring in biochemistry with minors in both biology and business administration, I graduated summa cum laude. I then continued my education at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco and graduated in 2023, receiving my Doctor of Dental Surgery. My parent’s dedication and work ethic has always inspired me. My father works for HECO and my mother operates her own childcare business. I continue to strive to embrace that work ethic as I serve my patients and my community as your dentist.

Our History

The commitment to quality dental service that is core to our practice has it’s roots in our past. Serving the local community for over 40 years, Dr. James Tamai DDS built his practice from the ground up. His dedicated career has served generations of patients with respect, integrity and diligence. During this career Debi Tamashiro, Dr. Tamashiro’s mother, would come to work for Dr. Tamai as his office manager. Being Dr. Tamashiro’s family dentist for nearly his whole life and being a close family friend, Dr. Tamai mentored and advised Dr. Tamashiro as he pursed a career in dentistry. As Dr. Tamai looked to retire, he graciously passed on his practice and the care of his patients to Dr. Christian Tamashiro in 2023. We now look to continue this dedication to excellent, patient-oriented dental care with you as a part of the ‘Ekahi Dental Solutions ‘Ohana.
