Dr. Eric Muraoka is the lead General Dentist and owner of Kaizen Dental Center. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Dr. Muraoka attended the prestigious Iolani School for his formal high school education. He went on to receive his Bachelors in Chemistry from Lewis and Clark College, then stayed in Portland where he received his Doctorate in Dental Medicine (DMD) from Oregon Health and Sciences University.

*Since opening his practice in Honolulu, Dr. Muraoka has been voted one of “Hawaii’s Best Dentists” by Honolulu Magazine.

Outside of the office, Dr. Muraoka loves surfing and serving as a pitching coach for the Iolani High School Baseball Program. When he isn’t surfing and coaching, he loves reading and learning about topics ranging from nutrition to 3D printing. He especially loves learning about the newest techniques and technology in dentistry, a passion that has sparked his love for digital dental manufacturing.

This very passion led him to owning his own dental laboratory that specializes in making the highest quality dental prosthetic for other dentists in Hawaii and all across the US. Because of this, Kaizen patients have the added benefit of access to the absolute highest quality products offered in the history of dentistry at Dr. Muraoka’s Downtown Dental Lab.

Owning a lab and multiple 3D printers has also allowed Dr. Muraoka to help the community during these pandemic times. With this technology he’s been able to print PPE, donating over 10,000 face shields printed on his equipment for the community.
