Dr. Ty is originally from South Carolina where she graduated from the Medical University of SC in Charleston to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine. She practiced on the Big Island of Hawai’i before moving to Oahu.
For her undergraduate studies, she attended Clemson University and graduated in only three years with a bachelors degree in Biology and minor in Business Administration. The “fourth” year she would have spent in university was dedicated to living in Perú to explore the language, country, and culture.
Dr. Ty speaks Spanish fluently and beginner-friendly French. Her appreciation of culture has extended to her love of dancing salsa and bachata with her other half.
Dr. Ty seeks to give patients care customized to their needs in a comfortable, professional environment. What matters most is if a patient has had an enjoyable experience while bettering their oral health.
Dr. Pagano is a general dentist who brings a caring, patient-focused approach to dental care. Originally from Wisconsin, Dr. Pagano earned his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery at Marquette University School of Dentistry.
Before moving to Hawaii, Dr. Pagano practiced in Charleston, South Carolina, where he built a strong foundation in comprehensive dentistry. He is committed to staying at the forefront of his field and has completed extensive continuing education in advanced dental implant placement and restorative dentistry.
Over the years, Dr. Pagano and his wife spent time visiting friends and family on the island, and it didn’t take long for them to fall in love with the people, culture, and natural beauty of island. Now, he is honored to care for the community and people of the island.
Dr. Pagano is known for his gentle approach, listening closely to his patients, and making sure they feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. For him, dentistry is not just about teeth—it’s about people, relationships, and earning trust.
Outside the office, you’ll likely find Dr. Pagano staying active—whether that’s hiking, exercising, trying his hand at surfing, or playing a round of golf (with more enthusiasm than skill). He and his wife love exploring the islands with their dog and are always looking for new ways to connect with the community.
