[[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff were very patient, informative, and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am grateful for the experience![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I should have read the reviews on this place before I went. They definitely go crazy about you having fillings saying I had like 10. Mind you I haven't had cavities/fillings in decades and my oral hygiene routines have been the same. When I asked to show me these cavities, they said it could only be seen by their eyes and it didn't show up in the pictures. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Elaine looks kind in the photos which is why I choose to go to this place, but in person, she has an extremely stressed out aura and takes it out in patients.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Her staff also seem stressed out![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i also saw one patient asking one dentist questions, and the dental assistant was answering instead of the dentist! What! The dentist doesn't know her stuff?? Elaine also said I needed a crown because my tooth was infected and tried to get me to book that which I knew this particular tooth she referred to was actually fine from other dentists who've seen that tooth. Scare tactics! Money grubbing! Figure out when their lunch time is and don't have your appointment right when their lunch ends. I had an appointment and I had to wait like 20 minutes because staff, including Elaine who was to see me, were trickling in past my appt time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Dr. Lu and her team are incredible! The staff are friendly, efficient, and genuinely caring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in with a broken crown and needed a lot of help. I felt comfortable the entire visit, the procedure was fast, and I experienced zero pain. Dr.Lu is extremely gentle and makes sure you are comfortable the entire procedure. Easily one of the best dental experiences I've ever had! Highly recommend and I feel so much more confident with my teeth! Thank you Healthy Life Dental! read more

Healthy Life Dental - A new beautiful crown from Healthy Life Dental - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Monrovia, California

For more than a decade I've received exceptional dental care from Dr. Elaine Lu and the entire team at Healthy Life Dental. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite moving out of state seven years ago, I have continued to entrust my dental care to Dr. Lu![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once you find the right dentist, to me, it's worth going out of the way for! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I've been coming here for a couple years now, and they're always good with scheduling and time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've done cleanings, cavity repairs, even teeth whitening. The hygienist always provides feedback on your teeth and where to focus brushing. read more

I've been going to this dental office for years and have been satisfied with their service up until the past year and a half. I see them for maybe six times out of the year and I kid you not each time I have either been made to: 1) wait 45 minutes past my appointment 2) [[HIGHLIGHT]]receive a call 30-60 minutes ahead of my scheduled appointment that was confirmed multiple times via TEXT that THEY send out to tell me I am LATE for my appointment[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 3) [[HIGHLIGHT]]reschedule the appointment time a week before because suddenly their office is closed. And take time off to make it to the new appointment time or else the next available appointment would be 3 months later for a scheduled cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think I've given this place enough chances now and we're up to strike six or seven. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm really disappointed because the staff is typically really nice but it seems like the past year and a half to two years they've been very disorganized when it came to scheduling and keeping appointments that they initially set.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I live close by but don't appreciate being called to rush over to the office when their scheduling system has been screwed up for what feels to be awhile now.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I went in today to get my teeth cleaned and X-rays and the staff was awesome! Barbara at the front desk was so kind and helpful! Edith( dental hygienist) was very professional and sweet!

I can't say enough good things about this office. Dr. Vicky Lai is one of the gentlest dentists I've ever had work on me. She took care of two cavities simultaneously. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I usually struggle with going to the dentist, but I had a very positive, pain-free experience at Healthy Life Dental.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff is very professional, understanding, and accommodating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not expensive and in network with most dental insurance, Thank you guys for your work. read more

BEWARE!!! If you are looking for a corrupt office to scam you this is the place for you. Moved to Monrovia and needed a new dentist and stumbled upon this office while walking on Myrtle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I scheduled a routine cleaning as I do every 6 months, however I was told by the dentist and extremely rude office manager Christin, that I needed a deep cleaning and had too many cavities to count.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went to two other dentists Dr Nalbach in Monrovia and Dr Thanga in Duarte, to get second opinions. Both disagreed with the "Healthy life Dental" findings. I was able to get a regular cleaning and had zero cavities. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in, so please literally go anywhere BUT HERE! read more

Very professional, happy with my dental care . Happy with dentist Dr. Lu . Highly recommend. The staffs are nice. Front desk lady, the manager is excellent, helpful and kind. I appreciate her kind advice. read more

SCAM! STAY AWAY! I came here to get a new nightguard. That's all I needed. I'm not even due for a clearing or checkup since I've done it recently at my regular doctor's office. As soon as I got into the office, they started taking an X-RAY. While taking the X-RAY, the assistant injured my gum. Then, the doctor came in and started taking photos of my teeth. After 10 minutes, she put those photos on the screen in front of my face and started telling me that I have like 3 cavities. Both of my fillings were old and rotten and had to be replaced immediately (even though one of them was less than a year old). Otherwise, I'm looking at a root canal. My wisdom teeth are rotting and also need to be taken out. I have abrasions all over my teeth that require gum surgery by an orthodontist, who conveniently also comes to this office. And also, why is my gum injured? Her assistant just injured me! I was blown away since I had no issues anywhere, and I saw my dentist, whom I'd been seeing for years, just 4 months prior (and she also took an X-Ray and told me everything was normal). When I asked about the original reason I came here -- the nightguard, the doctor said she couldn't do it before she took care of all the cavities. Otherwise, the nightguard wouldn't fit. That's when I was 100% sure it was all BS because I've had my nightguard for 4 years, I had several fillings done during this time, and my dentist never told me to make a new nightguard. It was just fine. When I told her I was not going to do anything and I was going to seek a second option, she wasn't surprised even a bit. After coming home, I read a bunch of other reviews of this place, and it all checks out. They scam people into doing completely unnecessary procedures. That's their entire business model. I can't believe this doctor is allowed to practice. The 5 star reviews you see here are all fake. This is the first time in my life I have walked into a 100% scam. STAY AWAY. Just to be sure, I went to my doctor 3 weeks later, and she again said, all my teeth are fine, and I got a new nightguard. read more

If I could give them a negative*I would give them 10 negative stars. As a first time patient, I scheduled a cleaning. I went to my appointment, only to have 23 x-rays done and told that I had to have eight fillings and two crowns. They would not do my cleaning that day. I thought it was weird because my previous dentist for the last three years told me I only needed one for sure filling and wanted to keep an eye. I canceled my future appointments with this dentist and went to my old dentist only to find that I didn't need two crowns and eight fillings. I only needed one filling and to keep an eye on another tooth for a potential filling. My partner also went in and was told he needed six fillings, and that his gums were bad. We both went back to our previous Dentist without telling them what happened to tell us how many fillings we needed and how many crowns we needed, and he did not need any fillings, and I only had the two that were suggested. If you add up the cost of eight fillings, and two crowns figure out how much they would've robbed me financially. Be careful of this, Dentist she will make sure that she price couches you for every tooth. And if there's staff is sitting there, watching her do that to people they are just as wrong and guilty as she is. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Unfortunately, I have to give this place a bad rating. I was a patient here for over 8 yrs and throughout the time everything was great, I would even drive from Glendora. Because of the past is why I give them 2 stars. However, recently post pandemic, things changed. They want to do a lot of dental work, deep cleaning, re-do fillings, crowns. They had never insisted on doing all of this work like they have lately. I denied all of that work six months ago, to date my teeth fell fine. But what really made me write this negative review was the fact that 4 different people have said the same thing. A friend from Monrovia, another from Azusa, and my wife. Coincidence? I don't think so and unfortunately, I don't trust them anymore. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. read more

Just had a bunch of fillings done, was super nervous but glad it's all out of the way and teeth are taken care of

The staff are always very kind and friendly. I get great dental care and never a fear of going to dentist either.

Fantastic work! Is very interesting to watch Dr.Lu focus on what she is doing like manifesting as a human being with a whole conscience. Amazing! read more

This place is awful The front desk staff is good and that's about it. All they want from you is money. I went in for a crown that fell off and all of a sudden it was 4 teeth that she wanted me to get fixed and sent me to a specialist.( I went to a different dentist and they said this was not the case) She is not caring at all and honestly a bit condescending and rude. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else were they will treat you with a bit more of respect read more

the dedication that it takes to take care of your dental processes can be found at Healthy Life Dental... great staff and great service! read more

I have been going to Dr Lu for the last few years. The team over at Healthy LIfe Dental do a wonderful job of helping to keep my teeth healthy and strong. Their follow up system is excellent. The team at healthy life dental are professional and provide an excellent customer experience.

My husband and I just love Dr. Lu & her team! I'm so happy that Healthy Life Dental is in my network once again. Getting set up and scheduling appointments is a seamless process. Appointment confirmations and reminders and any communications can be done via text. Dr. Lu does a great job explaining any issues throughout the exam. I'd recommend anyone and everyone to Healthy Life Dental! read more

There are far too many dental options out there to settle for Healthy Dental. Healthy Dental is TERRIBLE!!! Save your time and money. The front desk harasses you if you don't confirm an appointment that you already confirmed by making the appointment in the 1st place ... smh! They incorrectly bill you and send the wrong codes to the insurance company. The dentist will scam you and recommend $3,000+ worth of treatment work that you don't need (I got a 2nd opinion from my new dentist, and most of everything Dr Luu recommended as necessary work turns out is not necessary) AVOID THIS PLACE. They have no ethics. read more

I wanted to life this dentist office but I always felt like they were trying to upsell me. It was always buy this but that. I told them I would need to do things slow for financial reasons and could they put together a plan with their recommendations over a period of time so I could afford it. No they can do that, but also buy this electric tooth brush. I don't want to feel like my dental experience is a way for them to make more money off me by up selling. Had to go somewhere else. When I asked them to then send my records. It took min a month of me calling , texting and basically harassing them for my records . Would not recommend if you are on a budget read more

Thee best dental experience I have ever had! Had few visits this past month and don't write many reviews but was blown away by this experience I HAD TO! Great clean and attentive practice. Not once did I have a feeling() of being ignored. I wasn't strung on a chair with mouth open while the doctor bounced around tending to other patients. Seriously the setup, design and instruments used were great. A toothbrush sized camera?! Dope! X-ray machine in the same room coming out of the wall?! Dope! The doctor sits there examines and very thorough on explaining any issues or concerns. Not rough, very friendly and professional. Friendly and professional also goes for the entire staff, great crew. I regret not asking for names, but from the front desk, the voice behind the appointment caller, the assistant to the doctor and the hygienist. All friendly and made this experience great for me and my sons. They have a patient a patient for life...or for as long as they except my insurance! -Clean -The exam room w/ Batman like tools -Friendly & professional staff -Great doctor -Happy patient with nice strong and clean chompers! read more

Ariana and the rest of the staff were very helpful and accommodating throughout all my appointments. Shout out to them for helping me navigate my dental needs for multiple visits. Also very child friendly when I brought my 3 yo with me for a visit. A+++ read more

My family (2 adults + 2 kids ages 9 & 4) have been coming here for 4 years. We love the staff and great service. Everyone is very helpful and thoughtful, services are phenomenal and they make the kids feel comfortable enough where they love going (which is a reason for 5 stars all by itself!). Highly recommend!! read more

I generally don't like going to the dentist but Dr. Lu and her team has made dental visits a breeze! Her team does a great job of explaining to you your options and working with you and your insurance provider. The office is really clean, the lighting is bright and the service is top notch. I also appreciate the fact they have a tv at each station for you to watch whatever your heart desires. Parking can be found directly outside but if it happens to be full there is a parking garage just up the street that you can use for free. Definitely recommend this office and Dr. Lu to anyone new to the area and looking for a new dentist. read more

I'm pretty sure I left a review from my old yelp account but I'll leave another considering I've been a patient of Dr. Lu's for the last four years. I even got my Mom, Dad and sister to change dentists! Let me preface this with saying that I HATE going to the dentist and if you're like me, you'll feel absolutely reassured and at ease at Healthy Life Dental. Even after moving away from the area, I drive all the way from Culver City to see Dr. Lu since I trust NO ONE else. She and her entire team are so knowledgeable, professional and extremely kind. Extra love to Gloria for being a ray of sunshine and so welcoming to each and every patient. I won't go anywhere else :) read more

Most amazing dental office ever. You're not just patients here, you feel like part of a family. My kids look forward to their visits and the way everyone in the office engages them makes me glad that we found this place. I've had serious issues with my teeth and the expert assessments and thorough explanations allowed me to make informed decisions regarding my care. My teeth have never been healthier. They are also really reasonable and work directly with insurance. You will be hard pressed to find another office that's the complete package of expert care, exceptional customer service, and reasonable prices. Extra love to Gloria... thanks for always making a way for our crazy big family to be seen! read more

Two stars are removed for unprofessional business etiquette. I scheduled an oral surgery with their surgeon (who only comes to the office once a month) a month in advanced. The day before my surgery a receptionist (Ida I think) called to remind me of my appointment which wasn't necessary since I took the entire day off of work but still nice to remind me. The following day (the day of my surgery) Ida calls me again and says the surgeon is cancelling my surgery without any further information or anything to help the fact I took an entire day off of work ($$$$$) for this surgery. I realize this is probably all the surgeons fault however the office needs to either find a more consistent surgeon or should have offered me something for the inconvenience. My experience with my teeth cleaning and fillings was great. The dentist and her assistant were quick, friendly and efficient. I paid out of pocket since I don't have insurance so it was a bit expensive but dental health is important! If it wasn't for the experience of cancelling on me hours before my appointment I would have left a 5 star review. I was supposed to be contacted with a rescheduled appointment for February but nobody has reached out to me yet and it's been almost three weeks since my cancelled surgery... Hmmmm... EDIT: They contacted me with a sincere apology and to re-schedule my oral surgery so I added one star for that. Thank you. read more
