Oral surgery can seem scary for many. But it doesn’t have to be. At Island Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Matthew Abraham’s entire practice is centered around creating a comfortable, stress-free experience for patients. Dr. Abraham has spent his entire dental career practicing in Hawai‘i and feels honored to have been able to care for its residents for the past 15 years. “My decision to go to dental school was driven by the desire to make a difference in people’s lives. I think of my mentors over those years who have impressed upon me the virtues of hard work and commitment over personal gain, and the privilege it was to help others…I can’t imagine a more fulfilling job.,” says the University of Iowa graduate, who, in 2019, established Island Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in the heart of Kapolei. “We decided to open a practice on the leeward coast of Oahu because we saw a perceived need for our specialty care there. I’m proud that we were able to find a location where we feel we’re making a difference.”

Island Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery provides a broad array of oral surgery services, including wisdom tooth removal, tooth extractions, dental implants, oral pathology and facial trauma. Here, Dr. Abraham and his staff make patient comfort top priority, whether it’s through a variety of anesthesia options including I.V. sedation, conservative procedures that focus on the patient’s well-being, state-of-the-art technology that makes treatments more efficient and effective or a compassionate environment you feel the moment you walk through the door. “I’m really proud to have such a warm and welcoming staff with me,” says Dr. Abraham. “We always strive to do our best, no matter what the circumstances are.” His superior quality of care, with an emphasis on exclusivity and comfort, has set the standard in his field and earned him recognition as one of HONOLULU Magazine’s Best Dentists of 2024.

Island Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is open five days a week and accepts multiple insurance plans, as well as several payment options to help patients cover their services. Whether you live on the leeward coastline, or anywhere across the island, you can trust Dr. Abraham and his team to give you the quality care your smile deserves.
