About Dr. Declan Devereux - Honolulu Dentist

When I was growing up my Uncle Bob was my dentist. He was a great Uncle but all the kids in our family were scared to see him at his dental office because it could hurt. I never liked going to the dentist and never thought I would someday become one. I decided to become a dentist because of my older sister Maura. She went into dentistry before me and thought I would like it too. It turned out she was right.

Dentistry has been a wonderful profession for me. Especially because I understand what it is like to dread going to the dentist. I have made sure our patients can feel comfortable coming to see us. I like dentistry so much my wife calls me the "dental nerd" sometimes because I actually enjoy reading dental journals and creating new and better ways to help our patients. I feel it is extremely important to take the time to talk to our patients and give them options on how to take care of their teeth. I also believe that all our patients should be treated with courtesy and respect and should always feel welcome and know they will be well cared for when they come to us.

I am also able to donate dental care to those less fortunate and this has made a real positive impact in my life.

Dr. Declan and his family

Aside from dentistry I enjoy reading across a wide range of topics some of which are: health and fitness, service industry, personal growth, biographies, world cultures, and any book a patient thinks I would like. For physical activity I go to the gym, ride my bike, hike with my family, and golf occasionally when time allows. My life isn't all work, reading, and exercise though as we are blessed to have some time left to spend with friends and family just relaxing and enjoying the beauty of Hawaii!

"Your dental care means a lot to me. That's why I go out of my way to make your dental experience the best it can be by making you feel at ease and using the latest equipment and materials. My commitment to you is a strong one. I'll be here for you and your family for a lifetime."- Declan J Devereux, DDS - Honolulu Denist
