Dr. Lum and staff are the best!! I have been going to him for several years now. He has replaced all my old silver fillings and also done a couple crowns. He is calm and caring and a master at what he does. His assistant Kenzie is also very kind and caring and they make an excellent team. Liz who does the billing and scheduling is also great! I highly recommend them and thankful I found them.

When your friends say, "Dr. XXX is my dentist and he's amazing!", ask them how many root canals they have in their mouth. Ask them if they have any implants. A dentist is only as good as the problems he or she solves…and how long those solutions last.Dr. Grillo is the reason I don't wear dentures. I'm 76 years old. I have a mouth full of crowns, two implants, five root canals, and several fillings. The state of my mouth is the consequence of a perfect storm of three conditions: Negligence, genet...read moreics, and (prior to Dr. Grillo) poor dentistry.Dr. Grillo's been my dentist since 1991. Fortunately, I found him about the time I decided to get serious about saving my teeth. That involved reversing gum disease and establishing a rigorous home hygiene program. But equally critical was repairing past treatment disasters and addressing ongoing restorative issues. In my experience, Dr. Grillo and his staff have done that flawlessly.After 30+ years, these are some of Dr. Grillo's qualities that I appreciate: A perfect mix of warmth and professionalism; excellent, non-technical communication skills, i.e., when explaining what's happening in your mouth and your options; tireless attention to details in all facets of treatment.I've never had the feeling Dr. Grillo recommended or performed a treatment that wasn't necessary. I believe he's always considering the big picture and the long game as it pertains to my oral health.Five stars. Wonderful dentist, efficient and friendly staff, state-of-the-art technology.If I must have an ongoing relationship with a dentist, Dr. Grillo is a blessing! read less

As a retired oral and maxillofacial surgeon recently relocated from east to west coast, to have this level of skill and quality near me is fantastic! Having a prosthodontist redoing and taking great care of me is essential. I have found that is both Dr Lums, my Prosthodontist and his fine brother, my Periodontist. What a great team along with his senior partner, Dr Grillo! Great place, staff and excellent quality

Dr Lum and his team are awesome! I’ve always had bad experiences with previous dentist. He knew I was terrified and had trust issues and already had a low self esteem regarding my teeth. But that all changed, and they walked me through the procedures and what to expect, I had more confidence to go through work that needed to be done! Now I can’t stop smiling and confidence is through the roof! Thanks Dr Lum and team!

Every dental professional I met before Dr Grillo wanted to pull all my teeth. Granted I have a very complicated medical history affecting my mouth and when I first met him I expected another door to be slammed shut. But that didn't happen! He refused to give up by taking the easy way out. Fast forward 3 years and my mouth is now stable and for the first time in 20 years I just go for annual checkups. Can a prosthodontist be an artisan? If so, he deserves both titles. (P.S. and as a side note, hi...read mores shots don't even hurt!). read less
