So relieved to find a dentist nearby that speaks Cantonese for my mother-in-law. It reduced her anxiety significantly.

I have been a long time patient of Dr. Lu. I like his honesty and openness to work with me and being honest about how much procedures cost. The receptionist and hygienist are always so nice and give me helpful feedback on how I can maintain good oral hygiene.

October 9, 2024Maria B.Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr. Lu. I hadn't been to a dentist in 15 years (!!!) and was quite nervous. Dr. Lu allayed my nervousness, explained everything well, answered my questions, was gentle in his examination, and made me feel I was in exceptionally competent and caring hands. Dr. Lu's hygienist was great, too, as well as the office staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Lu for any of your dental needs!!!

Highly recommended!
February 27, 2024Johnny C.Verified patient
Dr. Lu changed my outlook on Dentists! I went in nervous and afraid, not just about the procedures but about the pricing. I didn't know what to expect. Dr. Lu and his staff were easy to talk to, caring, and made me feel comfortable even for the smallest procedure. I will definitely be back and be referring friends and family to this great office.

September 4, 2023Parker M.Verified patient
Dr. Lu was very clear, straight forward, and super friendly. The staff at the front desk were very knowledgeable and accommodating with payment options. Dental hygienist, Richard, was friendly, professional, and very thorough with cleaning. Dr. Lu was able to fit me with invisalign, which I’m so excited to start on and Dental assistant, Sandra, was so friendly and was able to get mold and for my Invisalign. Thank you!
Judy S.Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr. Lu and his crew to anyone in need of top-notch dental care. His combination of clinical expertise, patience, and genuine kindness makes every visit a positive experience. Thank you, Dr. Lu, for setting a new standard for what excellent dental care looks like.
June 5, 2023Xi B.Verified patient
Today was my first time visiting this dental practice, and what a positive experience it was! I had been experiencing tooth pain/discomfort, and was very anxious/hesitant to see a dentist for treatment. When the pain became too great to bear, I contacted Healthy Smiles. To my relief, they were able to get me a same day appointment (his staff is so nice!). I met Dr. Lu, and immediately felt at ease. He was friendly, knowledgable, and compassionate. He took the time to listen, learn, and investigate where the source of my pain was coming from. Once he discovered my “problem tooth”, he explained the options at hand. Dr. Lu himself went over the treatment plan (w/the associated cost for services), and was not pushy at all. The treatment estimate was detailed/descriptive, and his pricing was very fair..so I immediately asked him to go to work on my teeth!
Dr. Lu gave me the option of wearing headphones (and watching a movie), which was a great distraction. He walked me through every step of the procedure (which I so appreciated), and he had the most gentle hands! He numbed me up so well that I never felt any pain or discomfort (PTL), and I felt more than confident in his skills/capabilities. 2.5 hours sitting in his chair, and he never once rushed or made me feel like I was dominating his precious time. Dr. Lu finished phase 1 of my treatment today, and his office was amazing enough to get me back in for a 2nd appointment tomorrow (so I wouldn’t have to wait until next week)! I feel blessed for having met Dr. Lu and his staff. Couldn’t recommend him more!
May 23, 2023Lisa C.Verified patient
Dr. Lu and his staff at Healthy Smiles go above and beyond here. I am impressed at how attentive and compassionate they are. Dr. Lu listened to all of my questions and concerns and he explained everything so well and thoroughly. I never felt rushed or not cared for. I will recommend Dr. Lu and his amazing staff to everyone! 10/10 dentist. 10/10 staff. This is rare!

Great spot
April 6, 2023Silvestre C.Verified patient
Finally, a OC dental office that actually cares about oral health and no-nonsense billing. I've had predatory experiences in the past and this was the opposite of that. Dentist did a superb job of addressing my issues.

One of the best experiences I've ever had visiting the dentist. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Liu and his entire staff. Friendly, welcoming and very down-to-earth.
Justin T.Verified patient
I was nervous about finding a new dentist. I am so happy that I found them. They were genuinely friendly. They communicated clearly everything that was going on with my dental health and offered detailed explanations of what work was and is going to be done this visit and beyond. I DO NOT like going to the dentist, yet somehow I feel like I hit the jackpot Healthy Smiles. Very grateful to be in their hands moving forward.
January 18, 2023Kyle R.Verified patient
Dr. Lu and his staff were friendly and super professional. The office is comfortable. It was refreshing to work with a dentist that spoke plainly and honestly about my dental issue and resolved it on the spot -- without outrageous charges or breaking it into several appointments. Highly recommend.

June 20, 2022Laura A.Verified patient
First time appointment with Dr. Lu.
1. He explained coverage of my insurance clearly, leaving no concerns for potential charges;
2. He took X-ray and checked every single tooth then gave advice on how to treat them well step by step;
3. He made a plan with me to use the my insurance well and protect my teeth for a long term;
An straightforward, clear, efficient service with no doublt.
