LIKE FAMILY, NATURE, YEAH.
SIMPLE THINGS.
Trini: WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808."
EARLIER THIS YEAR IN MAY, WE
TOLD YOU ABOUT A COSMETIC
DENTIST IN HAWAI'I WHO IS KNOWN
AROUND THE WORLD FOR HIS AMAZING
SMILE TRANSFORMATIONS, WHO IS
GIVING AWAY A SMILE MAKEOVER.
TO CELEBRATE HIS 30TH
ANNIVERSARY OF DENTISTRY IN
HAWAI'I.
THAT DENTIST HELD A CONTEST AND
CHOSE A WINNER.
WE SURPRISED THE WINNER LIVE ON
"LIVING 808."
TODAY WE'VE GOT THE BIG REVEAL.
JOINING ME, DR. WYNN OKUDA AND
THE WINNER OF DR. OKUDA'S SMILE
MAKEOVER GIVEAWAY.
NADINE CHOY FOO.
HELLO.
WELCOME BACK.
THANK YOU.
Trini: WOW, YOU LOOK
AMAZING.
THANK YOU.
Trini: MY GOODNESS.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
TELL ME, HOW DO YOU FEEL?
PHENOMENAL.
Trini: YOU CAN TELL.
YOUR SMILE'S EVEN BIGGER THAN
THE LAST TIME WE SAW EACH OTHER.
I FEEL LIKE A NEW WOMAN.
Trini: TERRIFIC.
YOU LOOK LIKE A NEW WOMAN.
TELL US REAL QUICK WHAT HAS THE
REACTION BEEN FROM FAMILY AND
FRIENDS.
STUNNED.
THEY STEPPED BACK.
THEY'RE LIKE, WOW.
LIKE THEY CAN'T BELIEVE.
AND THE PROCESS TIME.
THEY'RE BLOWN AWAY BY HOW
QUICKLY AND WAS AND HOW
BEAUTIFUL IT WAS.
Trini: I DO WANT TO TALK TO
DR. OKUDA IN A BIT ABOUT THE
PROCESS.
WHAT WAS THE EXPERIENCE LIKE FOR
YOU?
I HEARD YOU WERE PAMPERED.
NEVER BEEN TO A DENTIST THAT
OFFERS WHAT DR. OKUDA'S OFFICE
DOES.
I MEAN, FROM BEGINNING TO END,
IT'S PHENOMENAL.
IT'S COMFORTING.
IT'S WELCOMING.
OHI
HE'S JUST AMAZING.
HIS TEAM, STAFF IS WONDERFUL.
Trini: FULL DISCLOSURE.
I AM ALSO A CLIENT/PATIENT OF
DR. OKUDA.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT.
PEOPLE USUALLY DREAD GOING TO
THE DEN TE DENTIST.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
IT'S MY MOM TIME.
I GET TO WATCH MOVIES.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT.
TELL ME WHAT THIS WHOLE PROCESS
WAS LIKE FOR YOU.
FOR NADINE, BECAUSE EVERY
SMILE MAKEOVER IS DIFFERENT.
FOR NADINE IT WAS A LOT OF
MISSING TEETH, A LOT OF BROKEN
DOWN TEETH.
IT'S YEARS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO
GET THINGS DONE.
PERSON HELPING OUT THE
COMMUNITY.
NOT ABLE TO HELP HERSELF.
SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S A LOT OF
WORK THAT WAS NEEDED.
ORIGINALLY WAS GOING TO START AS
A SMILE MAKEOVER BUT WAS A FULL
MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION.
I WANT TO HELP HER BECOME WHOLE
AGAIN.
THAT'S WHAT DENTISTRY IS ABOUT.
HOW TO BALANCE THAT WITH GOOD,
HEALTHY FUNCTION.
THAT WAS IMPORTANT.
TO BE ABLE TO CONJURE MY SKILLS
TO HELP HER.
Trini: SO HOW, NADINE, HOW
DO YOU THINK THIS IS GOING TO
KEEPING YO CONSIDER CHANGE YOUR
LIFE?
I FEEL NORMAL.
I CAN EAT AND FUNCTION.
BEFORE THERE WAS SO MUCH
DISFUNCTION, DISCOMFORT.
NOW IT'S AMAZING.
IT REALLY IS.
Trini: THAT'S WONDERFUL.
I CAN JUST SEE YOUR WHOLE ENERGY
HAS CHANGED, TOO.
SINCE YOU CELEBRATED YOUR 30TH
YEAR IN PRACTICE, DR. OKUDA,
WHAT DOES THIS SMILE MAKEOVER
MEAN FOR YOU?
IT'S BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY.
EARLY BEGINNINGS AND HAVE PEOPLE
TO SEE ME.
AND WITH ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
PATIENTS FROM ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
IT'S BEEN A BIG JOURNEY.
FOR ME BEING A LOCAL GUY,
McKINLEY HIGH SCHOOL, GO,
TIGERS.
IT WAS IMPORTANT TO GIVE BACK TO
LOCAL.
TO USE MY ABILITIES AND
CELEBRATE THE 30TH PRACTICE
ANNIVERSARY, WHICH IS TO HELP
OUT A LOCAL PERSON WHO'S BEEN
HELPING OUR COMMUNITY.
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT,
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IT DEFINES
ME, TO BE ABLE TO GIVE BACK.
Trini: I KNOW YOU, SO
YOU'RE GOOD LIKE THAT.
AND YOU'RE MUCH TOO HUMBLE TO
SAY.
YOU'VE GOT CLIENTS FLYING IN.
MOVIE STARS, ENTERTAINERS.
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.
THIS IS WONDERFUL, WHAT YOU HAVE
DONE FOR NADINE.
WHAT YOU DO FOR THE COMMUNITY
YOURSELF.
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME BUT YOU
WILL BE BACK WITH US.
YES.
Trini: AND YOU'RE GOING TO
GIVE US SOME INFORMATION.
YOU'RE GOING TO EDUCATE US.
IN INNOVATIONS.
SO WE CAN HELP EDUCATE YOUR
AUDIENCE.
WELL BE ABLE TO TALK MORE.
Trini: THIS IS LIFE
CHANGING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
YOU'RE OUT.
GREETING PEOPLE.
EVERYDAY PEOPLE.
AND IF YOU'RE SELF-CONSCIOUS
ABOUT YOUR SMILE, WHATEVER IT
MAY BE, IT CAN BE FIXED.
IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR
STORE.
DOCTOR, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR
DO.
