“I'm so grateful I was referred to Dr. Wu's office actually from another experienced dentist which speaks volumes, I been with my previous dentist for 22 years but he was retiring. He spoke highly of Dr. Wu. Many other patients I know who come here have been coming for many many years and drive from far. Her gentle touch and patience stand out. Thank you.”

“I was referred to Dr. Wu and her team. This is the best dental office I've ever been to. The office is spacious, modern, clean, and efficient. Parking was easy directly in front and back of the building. I had severe dental pain on my wisdom tooth with a huge cavity. The tooth needed to be pulled. Dr. Wu has such soft hands. I did not notice when she numbed me with the shot or as she calls it the magic wand. I even did not feel her pull out my tooth. 10/10!!”

My old crown cracked and was cutting my tongue and cheek. I live an hour away, but my dental insurance referred Dr. Wu at L.A. Dental Town to me. They were highly rated in Southern California, so I did not mind the drive. I love their forward technology. Dr. Wu was highly skilled and artistic. She was able to scan, mill, & create a same-day crown for me. It's hard for me to take time off from work so I appreciate your precision & efficiency. 10/10!

I was referred to Dr. Wu and her team from my orthodontist. I did not have a family dentist for years, but Dr. Wu and her team did not make me feel judged. Dr. Wu and the entire staff were friendly, professional, and accommodated my dental appointment. Dr. Wu is very skilled and knowledgeable. She walked me through the entire process pain free.

My aunt and brothers are dentists in another country. I'm picky with who I choose. My sister is a medical doctor. After doing extensive research, we brought our father here to see Dr. Wu. He was in a state of distress. He had dentures that had been hurting and he was finally ready for implants. Dr. Kim implant surgeon placed half mouth implants. Dr. Wu did a beautiful job restoring crowns & implant bridges for my father. He has never been happier. He can finally chew and eat steak and lobster!

I was so nervous to get my wisdom teeth removed, but L.A. Dental Town gave me the smoothest quickest procedure I could ask for. I like how they have many options from simple anesthesia numbing, to laughing gas, to IV sedation, general anesthesia. They do not force us, just provide us options so we can be comfortable and have a good experience. Dr. Wu guided me through the entire process. Their insurance coordinator was also very kind and knowledgeable.

I don't have a good history and record going to the dentist. I am embarrassed and anxious due to past experiences. Both Dr. Wu and Dr. Jen are great dentists, both friendly, informative, non-judgmental and gentle. Rather than scolding me, they were more focused on educating me, focusing on preventative care, and offering solutions. I highly recommend L.A. Dental Town!

Dr. Wu and her team have easy booking online and over the phone. No upsells. I highly recommend dental care under their blanket and optional lavender warm neck pillow and eye masks. I was initially recommended by some friends who have been coming there long term. I will be coming back too. I live an hour away but they are worth the drive for high quality dental care from trustworthy dentists.

I came here to L.A. Dental Town after having unsatisfactory experiences at other dental offices. The care here really made me feel welcome, cared for, and heard. Not only does Dr. Wu address all of my concerns each visit, if you are considering this dental office, I give it 10/10! Also the office feels & looks amazing, equipments are new and clean. The care is great and not pushy on sales.

Finding a good dentist is hard, it's like finding a good life partner. My previous dental office told me I needed 10 teeth to be drilled and filled. Dr. Wu saw digital xrays & performed a comprehensive exam. She found three only. Rest were staining that did not stick and did not show on xray at all. I like Dr. Wu and her team's conservative, honest approach. I am very glad I found them because many dentists try to sell you things you do not need.

I have always loved this place. Dr Wu is wonderful. She is very honest, ethical, and excellent at what she does. The also have a plethora of intriguing things & amenities for their guests. The best thing about this place is that I feel like it's full of people who genuinely care about others and their best interests. I had to come here for some cosmetic dentistry that someone else did a bad job and Dr Wu had to help fix.

We happily drive from Orange Country to Los Angeles to see Dr Wu and her team. I have had negative experience from another dentist that scared me off for few years. She always has a way to calm my anxiety and answers all my questions with no judgement She has been practicing over 20 something years so I guessed she’s seen it all. I like how Dr. Wu always focuses on preserving as much of my natural teeth as possible & talks to me about preventative care.

Dr. Margaret Wu really is the best dentist. She is so caring & will take the time to describe each procedure to you, step by step. She’s never pushy & will answer any questions you may have. I recently referred by mother. She’s in her late 60’s and traumatized by dentists. I am very grateful that Dr. Wu is so gentle & patient with her. She puts her fears at ease & I can tell she is much more relaxed now to go to dental office.

Dr. Margaret Wu & her staff go the extra mile when it comes to taking care of their patients. Not only is she a great dentist, but an outstanding professional in general. I came in to her office in Los Angeles with many questions about cosmetic treatment (veneers) and was out of her door with a better smile & more educated about dentistry. Her team responds fast to emails & I appreciated her follow up calls. She definitely puts in effort to earn your trust & I can’t recommend any other dentist than her.

I’ve been coming to L.A. Dental Town & Dr. Wu for a few years now, both for regular dental work and invisalign treatment. Staff have been very competent, gentle, and easy to work with. Dr. Wu is knowledgeable and soft with her hands. Pricing is fair and never any surprises. I actually don’t mind coming to the dentist!

I came to Dr. Wu for a second opinion. The dentist I was going to wanted to pull 10 of my teeth & replace them with implants. Dr Wu compared the images taken and did a thorough examination. She told me no implant procedure needed this time. She recommended a deep cleaning first because of all the inflammation caused by the bacteria. Thank you Dr Wu for your honesty in our healthcare system.

I was in extreme pain, Dr Wu & her team are highly skilled. Dr Wu used a magic wand to give me the injection and anesthesia, nor did I realize when she pulled out my tooth. She has very gentle hands that make patients feel relaxed and not afraid of needles. Dr Wu is also very meticulous and careful with checking patient’s medical history, meds, etc.

I've had the privilege of having an uncle who's a dentist for past 30 years. He finally decided to retire. I was referred to Dr. Wu and her team. I am very grateful. They are accommodating, efficient, clean, and gentle. They make you feel as comfortable as possible. I like how they take the conservative approach.

L.A. Dental Town is the place to go for all your dental needs. I needed some dental work, and one of my crown was sharp, broken, and scraping my tongue. Dr Wu took care of me. They even scanned and milled a new crown right then and there to give me a same day crown (no need to wait over a week!). I was in and out within two hours with a brand new crown. The office is futuristic with all the latest equipment and digital scanners. 10/10!

I found Dr Wu through another dentist referral. Other dentist was retiring but has worked w Dr Wu for many years in the past & had nothing but excellent remarks about Dr Wu’s clinical work & her good character. My filling came out & was able to get a spot with her next day. She is honest person and was trying to keep costs reasonable for me. I’ve now been coming here for years & had handsdown best dental care I’ve had in my life, Go see them!

I had a nightmare before where my mother ages ago had her wisdom teeth pulled & they damaged her nerve in her jaw & left her permanently numb so she cannot feel. I carried my mother’s trauma & dentists and I was afraid to see dentists for many years. I found Dr Wu & they had a 3D CT scan to carefully assess how close my wisdom was in relation to my nerve & sinus. I loved how they have options of being awake, asleep, or laughing gas when doing surgery. My surgery was 6 months ago & I recovered very smoothly & painlessly.

In past 8 years, I haven’t needed major dental work, just regular cleanings which says a lot about the quality & honesty of their care. The dental clinic is always clean, modern, & equipped with latest high-tech machines. Both Drs are U.C. Berkeley graduates which gives me more confidence in their expertise.

Long overdue review. Mentally strong enough to share what happened to me. I was assaulted and battered 2025 and told receptionist and they scheduled me right away. My two front teeth flew out. Dr Wu (dentist) went over my options and eased my anxiety. During surgery Dr Wu and an implant specialist placed titanium screws which took 9 months to heal. They gave me fixed temporary crowns during healing process. Dr Wu did a phenomenal job and I’m so so happy I did the process with her. I really love how focused & objective Dr Wu was during entire process. I broke down 1000x but she didn’t.

I have hated dentists all my life, I’ve been going to Dr Wu for over 6 years now. I used to be embarrassed with my smile. Dr Wu has crafted beautiful thin natural looking veneers on my front teeth. I now feel comfortable and confident when I smile. She really has an eye for beauty and she’s really picky with her own work. I love that about Dr Wu. Thank you for transforming my smile!

After going to many dentists around pasadena and los Angeles area, I felt I was charged way too much for unnecessary dental work. I was relieved to finally find our family dentist 6 years ago. Dr. Margaret Wu is polite, patient, & takes her time to listen to concerns. When my husband lost his job & dental insurance, Dr Wu was incredibly kind & worked out a deal for me when I needed dental care the most.

I am a medical doctor myself so I am very careful who I choose for not only myself but for my parents. My father had suffered many decades with fake teeth/dentures. He did not have strength to chew. He was finally ready for implants. I was referred by other healthcare professionals to Dr. Wu & her team. They are very reputable & esteemed in the community. Dr Kim & Dr Wu put bone graft, implants, & implant crown bridges for my father. He couldn’t be happier & most importantly healthier. We are so grateful!

Dr. Wu is truly an amazing dentist. She is patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. The previous dentist had left me in a state of distress. I’m a nervous wreck but Dr. Wu and her team really takes their time to help me feel at ease. My previous dentist quoted me $19k for few dental implants. Instead of aggressively pulling my teeth, Dr Wu focused on preventative care to save my teeth instead. Dr also does not upsell her patients, Thank you Dr Wu for having your patients best interest at heart.

Dr Wu is detailed with her work, is honest, and tells how it is. I really appreciate how she gives long term pros/cons of different procedures and options and allowed me to make a choice. Another dentist told me I needed a root canal & crown, Dr Wu told me I have chance of needing a root canal but if I wanted to try a conservative onlay/thin crown, to preserve more tooth structure. She did disclose root canal still a risk. 3 months fast forward, I ended up getting one onlay with Dr Wu & did not need a root canal! Thank you Dr Wu!

Our entire family goes to L.A. Dental Town. This practice is reliable & has great customer service. Dr. Wu and Angelica (hygienist) were amazing. The office staff, Dr. Wu, and all the dental specialists are top notch. They provide the most specialized care with patient’s best interest in mind. My brother has relocated 2 hrs away but he comes back every 6 months to get his routine checkup/cleaning.
