About Us

Dr. Belle was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, and came to the United States to pursue her undergraduate and dental education. She earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, where she graduated with honors in both Community Oral Health and Medically Complex Dentistry. Recognized for her academic excellence, she also received the American Academy of Oral Medicine Certificate of Merit.

Following dental school, Dr. Belle completed advanced hospital-based training at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. There, she expanded her expertise in restorative, cosmetic, endodontic, and surgical emergency dentistry—skills that now enable her to offer comprehensive, high-level care with confidence and precision.

But beyond her clinical credentials, what truly sets Dr. Belle apart is her perspective. As both a dentist and a mother, she understands how important it is to create a dental experience that’s centered on empathy, trust, and ease. Her gentle touch, artistic eye, and calming presence are what make patients—of all ages—feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.

After relocating to Hawaii, Dr. Belle noticed a lack of practices that reflected her values and vision for care. So, she decided to create one herself. Today, Hawaii Kai Dental Studio is a place where patients can experience dentistry done differently. Elevated by design, backed by advanced technology, and grounded in thoughtful, intentional service.

Outside the office, you’ll find Dr. Belle enjoying time with her daughter, attending local events, and exploring Honolulu’s natural beauty. She's also a regular at yoga and fitness classes.

Born in Vienna, Austria and raised in the Philadelphia area, Dr. Hans brings a unique blend of global perspective and academic excellence to pediatric dentistry. He earned his undergraduate degree from Swarthmore College, where he double-majored in Biology and Chinese Language. He went on to receive his dental degree from New York University College of Dentistry, where he was awarded the AADR Student Research Fellowship, the ADEA Academic Dental Careers Scholarship, and was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society.

Dr. Hans completed his specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at Columbia University–New York Presbyterian Hospital, serving as Chief Resident during his final year. Before relocating to Hawaii, he practiced in New Jersey and taught as clinical faculty at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.

With a calm and compassionate approach, Dr. Hans is committed to delivering the highest quality care and creating positive, stress-free dental visits for every child. His goal is to help kids build a lifelong love of healthy smiles.

From the moment you arrive, we’re focused on helping you feel right at home. We take the time to listen to your needs, explain your options, and tailor care to what works best for you—never rushing, always prioritizing comfort and transparency.

Dr. Belle gives back through school-based events, like career day at her daughter’s school, and has big plans for future partnerships with local programs. Her goal is to inspire kids and give families the knowledge and tools to prioritize oral health early on. As Hawaii Kai Dental Studio grows, Dr. Belle is committed to expanding these outreach efforts, supporting education, and creating lasting connections that help the next generation smile brighter.

We are proud to partner with MIRAI HANA, a local organization that connects children with real-world professionals through hands-on job experience workshops. In April 2026, we welcomed eleven children into our clinic where they explored our space, handled real dental instruments, and tried their hand at taking impressions and placing fillings. It was a beautiful reminder that inspiring curiosity in young minds is just as important as caring for their smiles, and we look forward to continuing this collaboration for years to come.
