Dr. Marcia Okada

Inspired by the unwavering support and trust of my mother, I decided to pursue a career in dentistry. She believed in my ability to care for others, and that belief has guided me throughout my professional journey. Being a dentist allows me to help patients improve their oral health and quality of life, relieving pain and restoring smiles. 

I am passionate about offering honest, empathetic, and respectful care. My focus is on prevention first and foremost because a strong foundation of good oral hygiene is key to lasting oral health. Whether it’s routine check-ups, restorative care, or preventative treatments, my priority is always the well-being and comfort of my patients. 

With so many people experiencing tooth decay and gum disease, I believe prevention is the best approach. By educating and supporting patients in developing healthy habits, I aim to help them avoid more serious dental issues and maintain a confident smile for life. 

How I stay healthy and happy 
I stay healthy by eating well, getting plenty of sleep, exercising, and spending time with my family. Maintaining good relationships with those around me is the key to my happiness.

How I maintain healthy teeth and gums 
I brush and floss daily and make regular visits to the dentist to ensure my teeth and gums stay in great shape.

Essential tip to keep your teeth healthy 
Follow the advice of your dental professional and stick to a consistent oral care routine—prevention is always easier than treatment.
