Dr. Lauren Todoki is from Honolulu, Hawaii and was inspired to pursue a career in dentistry at young age by her father. Dr. Todoki is a graduate of Punahou School and completed her undergraduate education at the University of Southern California where she earned degrees in Biological Sciences and Japanese. She attended dental school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and graduated with her Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Pursing her childhood dream of becoming an orthodontist, Dr. Todoki earned her Master of Science in Dentistry and Orthodontic Certificate from the University of Washington.
After completing her orthodontic training, Dr. Todoki earned her board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics. She worked in private practices in the greater Seattle area for five and a half years and taught at the University of Washington Department of Orthodontics as an affiliate assistant professor. While Dr. Todoki enjoyed her time in Seattle, it has always been her dream to one day return home to Hawaii to practice and serve the community she grew up in. Dr. Todoki is very excited to bring the knowledge and experience she gained to our practice to provide our patients and community with the highest quality of orthodontic care and service.
“I absolutely love being an orthodontist and feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to return home to Hawaii to serve and be a part of the community I grew up in. Creating beautiful smiles and lasting relationships with my patients is the most rewarding part of my career. To this day, I remember the excellent orthodontic care I received as a child and strive to create a positive and enjoyable experience for all my patients and their families.”
