We haven't lived in Los Angeles for close to 30 years but my husband and I keep coming back to Dr. Lau, from as far away as Seattle. Other dentists ooh and aah about the quality of his crowns in my mouth, he is gentle, meticulous and respectful. He is an amazing artist when it comes to crowns. He is conservative about recommending procedures-when in doubt he prefers to wait and see rather than maximize his income. My son was told by two other dentists that he needed fillings in a virgin mouth-Dr. Lau said there was nothing wrong with his teeth and 8 years later there is still nothing wrong with his teeth. He also teaches at UCLA and I can only hope that they are learning as much as possible from him. I told him he has to put a chair in his garage so he can still see me after he retires. I've tried many other dentists with excellent reputations but I keep coming back to him because they can't compare. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
