    Dr. Richard Ariza & Dr. Courtney Miyamoto

    Dr. Ariza and Dr. Miyamoto first crossed paths at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in Baltimore, where they graduated together in 2018. Now, as a husband-and-wife dental team, they bring a unique blend of skill, compassion, and teamwork to every patient visit. Hailing from Queens and Maui, respectively, they combine city charm with island warmth, making each appointment feel more like a visit with friends than a trip to the dentist.

    Outside of the office, they love exploring the outdoors, whether hiking, boating, or longboarding together. They’re also big on gaming and never miss a chance for a friendly co-op challenge! Dr. Ariza and Dr. Miyamoto look forward to welcoming you to their practice, where a healthy, beautiful smile—and a comfortable experience—are always the priority.
