PATIENT REVIEWS

Pearl Dentistry is literally the best dentist I have been to…DDS Yuki Lu is the Dentist there and she is the sweetest kindest person I have ever met…she takes any discomfort or pain seriously…I had my broken chipped wisdom tooth pulled out and didn’t even realize when it was done because it was completely painless…Pearl Dentistry is a must try for anyone nervous about going to the dentist…including children…they even play your favorite jams while being worked on!…Pearl Dentistry and Yuki are so awesome that I just might go back for monthly cleanings, even though it’s probably completely unnecessary ; )

Lourdes is an amazing front desk personal! She is very nice (made coffee for me and handed me the netflix remote control while I was waiting) and patient,(she called my insurance company to verify everything so I was clearly informed on my coverage and copay info.)  Dr. Lu is amazingly skilled! I had deep cleaning done and didn’t feel any pain! She is also very honest and to the point, will not make any unnecessary treatment plans like my previous dental place. I think honesty and integrity are what made me feel safe and trusting in coming to her practice 🙂

Today was my first time here and I have one word that will say it all! Absolutely OUTSTANDING! Dentist was very attentive to my needs making sure I was comfortable, he was very patient and I need that due to the fact that I can be a bit of a pain in the rear end! No matter how many times I complained he new how to put me at ease! The back office girl sweetest thing! The front she said something that I don’t think anyone has ever said to me! I explained my financial problem sort of speak and she said she treats everyone the way she hopes to be treated. I think that says plenty of how this office is going to be! They care about there patients not the $$$$! I recommend this office to everyone out there! I am beyond happy and satisfied! Thank you Pearl Dentistry

I rarely write reviews, but I feel like this dental office deserves my time. I have had terrible experience with my previous dental treatments and they said I have so called “dentalphobia”.  I came to Dr. Lu from the recommendation of my friend. I will say she cured not only my tooth problems, but also my “dentalphobia”.   The ladies in the front desk  are welcoming and the assistants are attentive and sweet. Dr. Lu is super gentle and she explains every details with patience and answers all my questions and concerns. They showed you your digital x rays, intra-oral pictures, and educational videos, so that you understand things thoroughly.  Unlike other dental offices, they are very considerate and patient, and you feel like everybody there is determined to make you have a great experience. I have recommended this office to my family members and all my friends.

I’ve been going to Dr. Lu for years. Dr. Lu’s entire staff is professional and friendly. Laurdes at the front desk always picks up the phone with energy and enthusiasm and a smile and it just brightens your day to hear her familar voice and she’s very caring. I trust Dr. Lu and her knowledge and expertise and that she has her patient’s best interest at heart. She also speaks English and Mandarin perfectly, which has helped tremendously when I bring my mom in to see her (no longer do I have to be the translater and they have good rapport… Dr. Lu has a sweet nature and very likable personality) I believe she also has staff fluent in Spanish which I imagine is very helpful. The location is next to Tokyo Central (a Japanese grocery store) and the post office and 24 hour fitness. I will reccomend Dr. Lu to anyone looking for a good dentist.

Dr. Lu is an awesome cosmetic dentist! I went in for a veneer consultation for my upper front teeth. Dr. Lu did a smile study analysis with me about my teeth shade, shape and alignment. She is really informative and explained to me about all my options and benefit/risks of each option. We decided that we are going to do 8 veneers for the top teeth with some shape modifications then the assistant took impression for the wax up. My experience was awesome because Dr. Lu understand my main concern and she make sure that I got the results I wanted! I feel so much confident with my smile now because of the new shade and new shape and alignment. I also did the teeth whitening for the bottom teeth to match the color.  She also has a great team who are very caring and professional to their patients.  Highly recommend Pearl Dentistry for veneers and other cosmetic procedures

I’ve been taking my mom to see Dr. Lu since the beginning.  Dr. Lu takes great care of my mom and her staff is professional and courteous. The facility is clean and cozy. The tools they have seem newer and high tech (cameras that can show very clearly on the monitor where the issues are). I can go to the Japanese grocery store next door (formerly Marukai) while waiting for my mom. Dr. Lu speaks perfect Mandarin Chinese, which is important for my mom whose English is limited. She cares about her clients and patiently explains things whether in English to me or in Mandarin to my mom. The costs are reasonable. Pearl Dentistry is easy to find with very good signage and convenient location. Not surprised Dr. Lu already has this many great reviews. I recommended Dr. Lu to anyone searching for a trustworthy dentist!

This review is for Dr, Lu. My wife’s tooth filling fall off one night and some nerve was exposed. She experienced constant sharp pain and could not sleep that night. We called the office Dr. Lu was able to squeeze us in the next day.  Dr. Lu really did a great job on the filling. My wife usually needs to re-patch her cavity filling every year because either the filling falls off or becomes unstable. Dr. Lu’s filling lasted since 2015!  My wife got a couple dental check ups in Taiwan and the dentists there said the filling is holding really well and does not need to be replaced. Really amazing. Price is reasonable with such professional health care. Highly recommended!

Dr. Lu and her team have been great. I have been attempting for a year to find a dental group to provide treatment for my 4 yr old son. I was referred to Pearl Dentistry and I am very happy with the services my son received. I hope to bring my daughter eventually. My son needed to be sedated and her wonderful team helped put me at ease as much as humanly possible. She was conservative with her treatment and I am very thankful for that. Lourdes assisted with pre approval through the insurance process and provided updates. I felt like they valued my business, but most importantly my child.

Dr Yuki and her team are awesome! They are always friendly and accommodating every time I visit. Before coming here, I dreaded going in for teeth cleaning because I’ve had unpleasant experiences in the past. Here at Pearl Dentistry, they do their best to make you feel comfortable during your appointments. Dr Yuki has excellent chair-side manners: she is attentive to my concerns and has gentle, precise handwork. She even gave me advice (and a free sample) of dental floss which would be best for my problem areas. Thank you Dr Yuki and her wonderful team.

These guys are ridiculous. I seriously loved them. Of the different dentists I called to get a rough pricing estimate, I got 2 impacted wisdom teeth removed + X-Rays, exam and follow up visit for less than the other dentists were quoting just to remove 1! I had an infection due to what turned out to be an impacted wisdom tooth. I called 4 different places and the appointments were about 5 days out in average (3 days to 1 week). Pearl scheduled me for the next day at 1130 and they were true to their appointment (not waiting longer than 5 minutes with new patient paperwork). Reception is amazing, and their dental assistants are funny and down to earth (Played pandora for me while I waited). Their staff really makes this place a gem. That first day I got a free X-ray and exam, and a prescription to manage the pain and antibiotics for the infection. No out of pocket, and I was feeling better by the next day (4 dollar generic prescriptions at target!) The following Monday (once the infection was better) I saw the surgeon (again, no wait time) and was done with two impacted extractions within the hour. I just left my final check up, and was done within ten minutes. I’m recommending these guys to everyone I know. The team is so accommodating and friendly, and the pricing is so reasonable.

Great Drs visit!!! Dr Lu is so nice n so professional! She is also very detail oriented and also a perfectionist (which I love)! Also the girls that work there r so nice!! Alex was my assistant she was great!! She explained to me everything that she was going to do, step by step.. Also the treatment coordinator explained to me my benefits from my insurance n since I didn’t have no insurance before I thought I was going to pay a fortune!! But of course that didn’t happen!! I’m so happy for my dental work that was done n I will be bringing my whole family here!! Highly recommend this place n for those afraid of dentist come here!!! I finally face my dental fear n now nothing can face me thank you Dr Lu and wonderful staff!!! U guys rock!!

I’m normally highly anxious at the dentist, and yet every time I’m here I feel very welcomed and relaxed. Dr. Lu and the staff are very informative as they always make sure I understand the procedures and give pre-op and post-op instructions. The doctor was incredibly gentle, and I felt no pain during the whole procedure. They also use digital x rays, which improves the quality of the images and greatly reduces the amount of radiation exposure to the patient. The front desk staff are very efficient. They get back to you with information regarding your insurance and estimate costs or other questions quickly and via email, and they are HONEST–which is very important to me. Their insurance policies and billing are very transparent. They educate you on their insurance coverage and gave you detailed breakdown of your treatment. No insurance surprises.
Besides that, the office provides a wide variety of dental services with dental professional specialists, so you don’t need to go to another office for more advanced treatment

BEST DENTIST I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO IN MY 30 YEARS OF LIFE !! I was in search for a new dentist and I had gone to the one that my insurance had me go to and they quoted me over 5,000 dollars in dental work and for me I was devistaed.  So I decided to call around and try to get a second opinion. I’m so glad I did !! When I called Pearl Dentistry I was extremely distraut and he totally put me at ease over the phone, and told me to come in and he would take a look and do my full mouth xray.   When I went in the first time, It was just the dentist and I, I think he opened just for me which made me feel special and he cared.  He did the xray and he actually walked me through all the x-rays and actually showed each one to me and where my cavaties where.  He also gave me a step by step print out of all the procedures I needed and in the order of importance.  So that I could plan out payments and my appointments.   The Next time I went in I went in for my deep cleaning, and got to meet the staff, the staff was extremely nice and super professional.   The deep cleaning was awesome,  I think I fell asleep. LOL Since then I have gotten 3 more procedures done and I swear I never thought I would ever say this but I actually LOVE going to the dentist now, its the one time of the day I get to relax, I was so affraid of getting my root canal cause all my friends were telling me that its one of the most painful procedures and I felt absolutely nothing at all it was amazing.  After that I knew I had found my dentist for LIFE ! Not only is this dentist super friendly,and Professional but unlike other dentists he’s not out to rip you off, he has affordable prices, and will work with you on payment plan.  BEST DENTIST IN WEST COVINA !!

I was in town on a round trip with my family for the weekend and I broke my front tooth while eating Korean BBQ. I guess that rib eye was harder than it looks. scrambling trying to find dental office that would take emergencies on short notice, I called 3 offices in my immediate area. Dr. Lu was able to accommodate me immediately! I was very fortunately because I was scared my tooth was going to get infected! Half of it was missing! The front lady was very quick to give me an appoint and Dr. Lu was very considerate of all my concerns. She told me she can fix it with a filling to make it look like whole again and also protect the inside of the tooth from further infection. She also told me that I might need a crown on the tooth. Initially, I did not understand why a crown is needed when she is going to fix it for me, but she took her time and thoroughly explained that the tooth is not as strong as it used to be and it will need to be covered up to make it stronger. Most dentist I have been to just tells people what they need and don’t explain anything. I am very happy Dr. Lu is understanding and treats my time with value. Because it was an emergency, I was seen towards the end of her morning shift right before lunch and she even worked into her normal lunch time for me!!! the tooth looks great, I have no pain, and no one can tell it’s not my original tooth! I am very happy with her service and truly recommend her if you are looking for a dentist. I don’t have a regular dentist right now but if I don’t get a crown done by the next time I am in town again, I’ll go back to Dr. Lu for the crown. Thank you so much! you gave me back my smile!

Came to a check up cleaning etc for the first time. Staff were great. office was clean. Dr. Lu was amazing. Explaining everything step by step for me to understand. made sure that I was i comfortable throughout the entire process. Recommend her to anyone and everyone. Definitely coming here again, and bringing my family.

Dr. Lu is an amazingly wonderful dentist who takes pride in her work and is very meticulous which is a great trait to have in order to satisfy her patients needs. Dr. Lu’s gentle and accurate touch gets two thumbs up from me. I greatly appreciate meeting her and having her as my new dentist. I highly recommend her to all. She is awesome! Thank you Dr. Lu for all you have done for me

EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! From the moment I inquired with them to learn about their services to my visits with my daughter…5 stars!!!! It started with the girls in the front, outstanding customer service and friendly personalities providing information about their office. They answer all my questions and more thorough and never impatient as I have experienced with others. The moment I walk in I felt at home with welcoming smiles and ready help you! Every person there was exceptional people skills in additional to their dental skills. Excellent setting, great reminders via email and text and also great website. Dr lu was very professional and knowledgeable and showed me everything on the computer with educational videos of things that I needed to get done. Also Sylvia the hygienist was super nice and sweet! Who would of thought that after so many years of brushing I was doing it wrong?!! Sylvia showed me the proper way from beginning to end and what type of toothbrush to use. Very impressive! As for my daughter she was very comfortable been only 5 years old. Alex made her feel at home playing her favorite cartoons and explaining how to use her toothbrush and talking to her like she knew her from a long time. At the end of her cleaning she was so happy and excited that she ask when her next visit will be. She went telling everybody in our family about her dentist appointment and how much she love her visit!  I’m so glad we found this dental office Dr. Lu and her staff are great!!!

So far the best dentist I’ve met.  Dr lu not only did a fantastic job closing my front teeth gaps she also did a life long planning for me.  Since I’m short on cash now, I did 9 front teeth with 3m resin.  She told me as long as I take care of it.  They should last around 5 yrs. however those resin can be easily stained.  So I shouldn’t be smoking or drinking too much soda nor coffee.  Then I can do veneers, she just need to grind on the current resin platform. That should last another 5 – 10 yrs.  later if I didn’t take care of them. She can move on to crown, which might last 10-15 yrs. worst case scenario, I move on to dental implants.   She’s very skillful and also works with patient budget to suit their needs.

This place is amazing. From the receptionist to the insurance coordinator to the assistants to the doctor. Dr Lu is simply amazing and is truly a doctor that others should learn from. I was reluctant to go to a new dentist but she was extremely knowledgeable and took the necessary time to walk me thru my issues and explain all the options I have. Honestly I never get that kind of feedback from doctors let alone dentists. If you want a real checkup with good info come her

I waited a few days before I decided to write a fair review about Pearl Dentistry.
These days finding a good dentist is literally finding a needle in a haystack! I expereince bad dentist more than i can count on my fingers and toes… I actually landed at Pearl because I had sought out another Dentist in the area and the other dentist completely messed up my mouth! I was in so much pain over a simple Filling?!?! I finally had enough after 3 weeks and gave Pearl a call and came right in!  Even though I waited a bit, I was able to come in that same late afternoon to have my fillings Redo…yes, apparently the previous dentist didn’t even clean out my cavitiy completely!!  Well, let me just tell you after just an hour of my new Dentist’s time I was already feeling better…no more sensitivity and def. no more stress when i chew on my food!  I can’t believe I was in pain for 3 whole weeks and in a matter of hours i was back to normal again?! Btw, the assistants and front desk staff are super attentive and super nice. Another important thing to look for at a good dentistry.. STAFFS!

Full disclosure ! The dentist for me was unknown Territory before coming to Pearl dentistry. It’s quite embarrassing but I had not been to the dentist in quite a while before coming here and I can honestly say I have enjoyed every trip to this dental office. The entire staff operates in a very professional,  kind and caring manner. They always have your best interest in mind. I look forward to my continued experience here at Pearl Dentistry.

I took my mom here to see Dr.Lu for teeth cleaning. She’s gentle and caring, at the same time extremely professional. My mom has implants and bad gum for many years, she worries about her dental health often, and like most people, hates seeing dentists. Dr.Lu was patient enough to go through the X-ray photos with us and explain her condition thoroughly and educate us how to treat her gum and prevent worst to happen. Dr.Lu made us feel comfortable and reliable. We will return for the next teeth cleaning appointment.

I wish I went to this dental office years ago. I’ve finally found a dentist I love. I’m totally satisfied with Dr. Yuki and her kind staff. They welcomed me, made me feel comfortable, and best of all my teeth are healthier. Dr. Yuki is amazing and was very gental yet through. I didn’t need any numbing and didn’t feel any post-op pain from a cavity filling. 5 Stars to Dr. Yuki and her wonderful staff. I definitely recommend Dr. Yuki.. Keep up the good work 🙂

I have been coming here for 9 years. Prior to coming to Pearl I had been to two other dentist in West Covina who NEVER performed teeth cleaning correctly. I learned what a true cleaning was when Dr. Lu did my cleaning. What a difference! She is very professional and cares about her patients. Today I had my wisdom teeth (3 total) by Dr. Lee. I was beyond nervous and asked a million questions and the whole staff was wonderful and patient with me. I had heard multiple horror stories from friends and I am beyond happy to share that Dr. Lee has his techniques down! I mean he extracted my teeth and made it look easy. Not sure what happened with my friends and families surgeons, but Dr. Lee is the surgeon you want to go with for this procedure. I highly recommend Pearl Dentistry! And Lourdes is awesome along with dental assistants. Great job Pearl Dentistry! And thank you for the professional work!

Dr. Lu and staff are super nice. Been going to Pearl Dentistry for a couple of years now and the service is consistently great.  It doesn’t seem like it’s not just to me. I was already in the chair and happened to hear another patient coming to her appointment 1.5 hours early.  She thought she saw her reminder saying 10a but her appointment was 11:30a.  The Office Manager could’ve asked the patient to come back at her appointment time, but instead offered to get her something to drink and let her know that she would check with the doctor to see if it’s possible the office takes her sooner so she doesn’t have to wait too long or come back.  It’s the thought and effort that count.  To me, great customer service isn’t always promising you can do everything, then under-deliver, it’s the point of making effort to reasonably accommodate your customers without jeopardizing your overall relationship with the rest of the clientele. Why the eavesdropping story? Just sharing a case that I witnessed, that demonstrates the consistency in Pearl Dentistry staff’s attentiveness and professionalism.

I had a great experience with Pearl Dentistry lately.  Dr. Lu is very professional and understanding.  My mom’s implant crown was fractured 2 weeks ago. My family moved to Southern California recently and we have not established any dental care yet. I called Pearl Dentistry and we were able to get the same day appointment and got the treatment done the same day. It was unbelievable! Dr. Lu was very gentle and thorough which really helped my mom who has bad dental phobia. My mom got her crown put on today. It was an easy appointment and the crown fits perfectly. I highly recommend Dr. Lu and the office, especially for people who are looking for a gentle and patient dentist. The price was fair as well!

I visited pearl dentistry for my teeth cleaning and whitening. Dr. Lu and the hygienist Irma were both very professional and helpful. Usually cleaning would cause discomfort and bleeding for me days after the treatment, but not this time! The entire visit was almost pain free expect for some minor sensitivities. Dr. Lu was very helpful when it comes to choosing the right whitening product that fits my personal needs. She explained composition of each whitening product in detail and told me pros and cons of each. The result was very noticeable! My appointment was at 4pm that day, but I arrived 20 mins late due to traffic. The whitening and exam took an hour and thirty minutes which went pass their usual closing hours. Dr. Lu and Irma were very patient through out the procedure and didn’t try to rush through the process. They went above and beyond my expectations and I really appreciate that! I would recommend this place for my family and friends in the future!

Dr. Lu is very gentle!! That’s a plus for us! My husband has been going to Pearl Dentistry since we moved to West Covina. They have taken great care of his teeth. Dr. Lu is knowledgeable and personable. She also takes children of all ages, which is a plus because my husband and my daughter have the same type of teeth. They do extractions and orthodontics as well. My husband will be fitted for a night guard so they do preventive care as well. Parking is located in the South Hills Plaza where Marukai market is at. They share the parking with the post office, Vy’s nails and the South hills animal hospital. So there is ample parking. Great dental office and great dentist!

My GF introduce me to this cozy dental clinic recently, and it now becomes my favorite dental office I ever visited.  Everyone from the front desk , hygienist to Dr. Lu are all very professional and friendly.  There are so much smile and laugh going around the clinic between the staff and patients.  It is hard to believe I am actually at a dental office which typically make me nervous and uneasy.   They play soothing music in the clinic and comedy movie in the waiting area.  They usually have quick consultation in one room to understand my concern and explain the procedure before moving me to the dental area. Dr. Lu is very caring of her patient and  always check to make sure I am comfortable and satisfy at the end of each session.  So far, I have don

Great experience  !! First , Dr. lu and her staff are very sweet and always have warm welcome when I go into the office .  They work very efficiently  by sitting me in the exam chair shortly after I sign in . And the assistant took 4 X -Rays before Dr Lu came examine me . She is very knowledgeable and very careful when I received anesthesia injection ~ don’t even feel much at all !! The environment is very clean and comfortable and staff are friendly . My visit was completed with timely manner and most importantly – painless !
Definitely I would recommend her to my family and friends !

Dr. Lu is a great family dentist. I came in four months ago for a consultation for braces, and they explained the risks and benefits of different options like traditional metal bracket, esthetic ceramic bracket and invisalign. Her staff are knowledgeable and very willing to work with you to get the right results!  They offer monthly payment plan. Now I am midway through my braces treatment and I’m seeing amazing result. My teeth are already looking so much better. They also put me on a three month cleaning schedule because they want to maintain my hygiene level during ortho treatment. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who want to improve their smile, or who have crowded teeth.

Dr. Lu helped me with dental cleaning and a root canal. She was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I was very impressed with her dental services. She described what she needed to do in a way that I could understand and explained clearly the problems I’m encountering. The clinic is well setup and very clean. Her assistant was also very professional. Setting up the appointment was a breeze. Being available on weekends was definitely a plus. Would definitely visit again and Dr. Lu is now my go-to dentist going forward.

Dr. Lu and her staff are amazing. i am terrified of needles and hate the numbing process. & when she has numbed me i did not feel a thing! which is awesome! she takes her time in doing her work and with excellent quality. i have had some bad experiences in my past but with her nothing but great! her staff is also amazing. welcoming and comforting! i am truely happy with this office.I definitely recommend the office. mind you i drive from rancho cucamonga & its worth the drive!
