Aaron Takigawa, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Dr. Aaron is extremely friendly and professional. I can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients and makes time to get to know us. I was so surprised that he was doing my cleaning versus the dental hygienist like some other practices. I left extremely satisfied with my cleaning – he was very thorough. I have braces, so he really took his time to make sure i had a good cleaning and boy did my teeth feel clean and smooth!

I scheduled an appointment for my husband as soon as I was back at work and recommended him to my coworkers. I really appreciate that he has hours during lunch because I did not have to take time off work.

Thank you Dr. Aaron for the exceptional service and I look forward to my next visit.

I have been seeing Dr. Takigawa for a while for checkups, cleanings and fixing old issues and decided it was time to have a nicer smile!
I have old fillings and some discoloration. Even though I had braces growing up, my teeth had also gotten very crooked again.
Dr. Takigawa came up with a plan which we have started – first with whitening and now we’ve started with my Invisalign treatment. I’m on my second tray now.
I can’t wait for the final product!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Aaron Takigawa since March. He has a very hands on approach to treatment. He replaced a filling for me, and he starts the cleaning process at each check-up appointment before the hygienist takes over. He gives thorough explanations of my dental health, and he answers all of my questions. I am so glad I found him!

Extremely clean and nice office. Great location. Very outgoing and friendly doctor and staff. Dr. Aaron explains things very well, is very efficient and treats you almost like family rather than just another patient. He made me feel comfortable and overall made my experience very pleasant. Everyone hates going to the dentist but Dr. Aaron makes it a pleasant experience. I look forward to all my future work with him. I’m glad I came here and I can say I look forward to being a long term patient.

(…)I haven’t been to a dentist in several years because it was hard to schedule around work. My friend recommended me to make an appointment with Dr. Takigawa. I was able to book a Saturday appointment!
Everyone from the receptionist to the assistant was friendly & helpful!
Dr. Takigawa was extremely thorough & professional. At the beginning of my appointment, I had an x-Ray done. After that, he checked each tooth for cavities & potential cavities. He talked me through the entire process, and I feel like I have a better understanding of my dental health now. He was honest & encouraging. He made sure that I knew what I needed to know in order to keep my teeth clean.
It was definitely a wake-up call, but Dr. Takigawa made it a positive experience!(…)

Great experience and fast work. Went in immediately at my scheduled appointment . Very thorough and gentle on my gums, unlike my last dentist who left me bleeding and hating dentist visits.

It was a pleasant visit. It’s hard to say that about your dentist visit. I’ve been to five other dentists (four being in Southern California) in 10 years, and I finally feel that I don’t need to shop around for a decent dentist. I went for an X-ray and routine check-up, and Dr. Aaron did an excellent cleaning (detailed) job which my previous dentist failed. He was also personable, actually paid attention to what I had to say, and answered my questions. My former dentists didn’t follow up even after surgeries. I was surprised when Dr. Aaron followed up after the visit. Thank you, Dr. Aaron!!

This was my first visit at OC Lakes Dental and I had a wonderful experience! Dr. Takigawa is a caring and skilled dentist. He took the time to clean and examine my teeth and walked me through everything he was doing. I highly recommend him and will be coming back for all of my dental needs!
