This was my third visit to Dr Vu, first for cleaning, second for extraction & third for deep cleaning. When I tell you in the office for 11:30 appointment & back in my car by 12:21 after extraction with no pain. She is awesome the best I've had in 40 years. read more

MEDI-CAL PATIENTS: I went to see Dr. Hong Vu for the first time this month. She replaced a white filling for me. But before she did so, she told me that Medi-Cal only covers silver fillings and that she would charge me extra $30 for white fillings. For 6 years I've been on Medi-Cal, seen multiple dentists who gave me white fillings, and have never been charged extra. When I asked her to call the Medi-Cal office to check, she said she wouldn't charge me since it was my first visit to her. Later I called Medi-Cal to verify, and they confirmed they cover any filling whether silver or white. It's wrong to charge poor people on Medicaid extra for procedures already covered by Medicaid. BE AWARE. Also, I had a cleaning which lasted around only 15 minutes and seemed short. When I got home, I saw several stains that were not removed between my teeth. Not thorough. read more

Dr. Vu is absolutely one of the finest dentists I have ever met. My neighbor broke a tooth and didn't have a dentist. I contacted Dr. Vu's office early Saturday morning, and she answered the phone. She squeezed my neighbor in and removed the tooth. It was broken in half and she gave her the most gentle kind and professional treatment and service. she is really wonderful. Her staff is very professional and her son Harrison is the hygienist and he was very pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Vu to anyone, she does everything including implants. She knows her profession well and graduated from UCLA Dental school, one of the top colleges in the country. She's great! Thank you Dr. Vu! read more

Very nice staff, explained everything they were doing at all times and were kind and gentle with my cleaning and polishing (Harrison helped me out with educating me on certain ways I could level up my game to keep my gums and teeth healthy) read more

I hate the dentist, but love dr Vu. I get pretty afraid and have anxiety going, so needed to catch up on a lot of work. She is fantastic, painless, and I now don't mind going to the dentist. I even moved out of Long Beach but will drive an hour from LA to see her. I'm so grateful to have a caring, kind, and fair dentist. Don't hesitate if you are looking for a new dentist. Thank you dr Vu!! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Vu for about 6 years since 2008. I really love Dr. Vu and her staff. They are all very nice and funny. Dr. Vu explains everything to you completely so I know exactly what is going on prior to the procedure. I used to fear the dentist as a child and I don't feel comfortable walking into a dental office and everyone is so serious it feels both cold and scary. Dr. Vu is so friendly and even has had me laughing while she works on my teeth. I am so blessed to find a dentist who keeps it simple and is very caring. What's better than a dentist who has everyone laughing and smiling. Dr. Vu has cosmetically repaired my teeth today due to a fall. My tooth was like new within an hour. I highly recommend Dr. Vu. Thank You so much Dr. Vu. read more

See all

Dr Vu is a fantastic dentist. I am pleased with her attention to detail. My daughter's teeth are looking great and will be done with her braces sooner than originally anticipated. The staff is friendly. They always greet everyone with a smile. I appreciate the appt reminders. The building itself may not look nice but the office is beautiful and clean. read more

I recently was treated by Dr. Vu for adult dental braces. I had some severe crowding in my lower teeth and a baby tooth that didn't quite drop out. Dr. Vu outfitted me with the clear braces at a fairly reasonable cost and the procedure itself was painless. Experiencing the day to day of having braces in your 30's and 40's (regardless of dentist) is a huge pain in the ass. This is especially so for me, because I have a tiny mouth and I was whining about it all the time. However, Dr. Vu and staff was very patient with me complaining about them month after month and also implemented some techniques with the wiring to accelerate the straightening process. I was in and out of the braces in about 14 months, which is not bad! After being outfitted with retainers, my teeth are still straight. She has alot of techniques, never gives a procedure that's unnecessary and is very knowledgeable. I have to say, getting braces at any age is worth the pain. I never knew my teeth can be naturally straight. It makes a huge difference to the shape of your mouth and your smile and now I am obsessed about keeping them straight. If you have to get a procedure like this or any type of dental work, I highly recommend Dr. Vu. The staff is like family and they have flexible payment models. I have heard horror stories from other friends who have gotten braces at other dentists and had to have them on for a really long time, only to have the teeth shift back right away or they are recommended procedures that are ineffective. Not here. She knows exactly what she is doing and I also love the fact that she can perform more sophisticated oral surgery in addition to the routine cleanings. Perfect dentist for kids who hate dentists. I know, because as an adult who hate dentists, I enjoy being worked on my Dr. Vu! She makes any procedure painless and does an excellent job. The staff are fun and cool people. And she is open on Saturdays! read more

I have been a patient for almost 2 decades. She has great attentive staff and immaculate office. Great attention to detail, has worked with me to provide affordable, excellent options and treatments. One thing she is exceptional at, is thoroughly explaining treatments, process and what my insurance covers and options. More importantly she is a talented and skilled dentisT that has gone beyond the ordinary in finding affordable solutions to the treat at hand. I have no complaints only compliments for Dr. Vu. Kudos! read more

Dr. Vu is the best! Recently I had gone to a different dentist and told I would need almost $1600 worth or dental work (yes even with my insurance) even though they didn't even estimate the cost for the tooth I came in complaining about. I also asked them about my wisdom teeth because I had felt them coming in but they told me I didn't have wisdom teeth to worry about....THAT WAS MY RED FLAG! I decided that since I am a recent college student I would need to either A) save up some money B) beg my parents for the money (how embarrassing) or C) get a second opinion from a different dentist. After doing A I decided to go to Dr. VU to talk abut getting the crowns and root canal that I supposedly needed...Her office is in a little sketchier part of Long Beach but it is a very beautiful and clean place inside. It is nicer than one would expect. Well first off I do have wisdom teeth (duh) and they showed me my x-rays so I could understand everything going on. Also she filled my teeth without numbing me and it was PAINLESS!!!!! She let me know everything I needed to take care of , no judging, and very personable.Even her front staff was awesome with my insurances. Overall I only ended up paying $80 for everything, my mouth feels better, I don't have holes n my mouth anymore and I understand alot more about my teeth! thankd Dr. Vu! read more

I've been visiting Dr.Vu for many years and have always experienced the best dental care from Dr. Vu and her staff. Everyone in the office is very professional and knowledgeable in explaining the procedures which is truly reassuring as I'm not a big fan of going to the dentist. Sokee is the dental hygienist and she definitely knows her stuff. She is both gentle and thorough with cleaning your teeth! I've also found that Dr. Vu's office has reasonable prices on dental/oral services compared to other local dentistries. I would highly recommend Dr.Vu and her team for your dental needs! read more

Dr. Vu is the best! She really cares for her patients. I have been coming to to the office for almost 15 years and will continue to come! Great family vibe, welcoming smiles and amazing staff! See you guys at my next cleaning appt. read more

Love this place. Went there 3x already. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I had a root canal and cleaning done there. I was a little afraid since my tooth have a hair line of fracture inside.... But Dr. Vu was very extra careful and got the root canal done with no damage. Tooth feels alot better. Painless. I would totally recommend this place if you're are looking for a new dentist. I rarely write reviews on anything unless its a really good place or really bad place. Hong T Vu Denist is definitely the #1 place I highly recommend. I'm also getting my braces done here. =) FYI.. you also get a free traveling pouch with Toothbrush and Toothpaste kit on your way out. read more

First of all I'm a big scary baby when it comes to the Dentist, and my teeth proved it! I was referred to Dr. Vu, and that was the best referral that I could have gotten! From day one she was so warm, compassionate, real, intelligent, thural, honest and full of smiles and humor. That made me comfortable, I tell you I absolutely feel no pain, and I feel safely relaxed when she's doing her skills believe me she knows what she's doing for about 30 years. I love Dr. Vu and I'm going to refer her every chance that I get. She is the best Dentist that I've ever had, a true blessing from above because she's full of compassion, and love... If you're looking for a GREAT Dentist she would be the one along with her beautiful kind loving team...I promise you won't be dissapointed... read more

The Best Dentist in the City, State, Country. The Best prices in the City, State, Country. And the most Prettiest Dentist in the City, State, Country. Along with the staff....... And to any one who says otherwise "KEN B.", I am sorry your mother didn't hug you enough as a baby, , The atmosphere is what makes it a great place, and exciting to return.... Hope your new dentist is lame....Ken B. read more

Been from Europe I have learned to be very demanding concerning dentistry. Dr Vu is absolutely a professional above the crowd. Superb dentistry ability and a real passion for us as patients/clients. I reccomend to anybody that needs an A+ quality service. Thanks for taking care of my delicate mouth doctor Vu. Fabrizio Fe' Fellini read more

Dr. Vu and her staff have been by far one of the best dentist experience I have had. She has cared for myself and my sons since their baby teeth came out. Her warm and caring personality make going for your dental needs a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this dentist to all young and not so young. read more

Got dental cleaning done here, Dentist Hong asked if she could fill my front tooth due to a chip I have had on it for a few years. Agreed. Got my front tooth filled and went home. IT FELL OFF IN 30 MINUTES. Called to reschedule another appointment. They would not do it for free even though she didn't properly put the filling on. After speaking with assistants and Dentist for sometime we rescheduled an appointment to redo it. They filled my tooth and chipped the front tooth right next to it. It's been 2 months and the filling is slowly chipping away. As she was filling my tooth she was talking to people and not even paying attention. Will never go here again. BY THE WAY: A good and proper teeth cleaning should take 1 HOUR. This lady took 15 mins. Disgusted with this team. read more

My experience with Dr. Vu does not match what others have said. I went to her for a cracked tooth and was told I needed a crown. I have no doubt that the diagnosis was correct but I don't feel that the work she did was very good or that she was professional. My biggest complaint is that the entire time that the permanent crown was being installed in my mouth Dr. Vu was gossiping with her assistant. It was very disturbing and I was very concerned as to whether she was really paying attention to what she was doing. At one point she was trying to remember the name of a movie and, with her fingers in my mouth, she stopped what she was doing to look at her assistant and ask what the name of the movie was. It's hard to describe in writing exactly how this interaction was but I would liken it to two people sitting in a coffee shop gossiping and carrying on. Except that there was serious (in my opinion) work being done on my teeth, and there were fingers in my mouth while this was transpiring. Again, this was very disturbing to me. I had a crown put on one of my teeth previously and that crown looks and feels just like any of my other teeth. The one that Dr. Vu put on neither looks nor feels like my other teeth. The crown feels like one side is higher than the other. She had a hard time fitting the crown and had to keep grinding it down (or something like that...I'm not a dentist). I did mention that one side felt higher but I was told that it fit. I should also mention that this permanent crown was the second one because when Dr. Vu and her assistant were installing the first one they cracked it and had to have a new one made. I won't go back to Dr. Vu under any circumstances, and I'm going to have my crown looked at by another dentist to ensure that it was done properly. read more

Dr. Vu is caring and meticulous. She answers all my questions and gives me honest responses. I was wary at first because I hadn't seen any dentist in over 10 yrs. But she made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat down. I trust her with all my dental work. read more

This office's business practices are unethical. They will try to charge you for procedures that are covered by your insurance by making up illogical and erroneous reasons. If you choose to go to this dentist be very careful and fully aware of your insurance coverage. read more

I love Dr. Vu when I got my braces it was actually fun when I had to go to my visits. Super friendly and funny and love there hours. I would recommend this place to any one that needs work done ! read more

Dr. Vu is a great and trustworthy dentist. I've had 3 dentists in the past 4 years, and Dr. Vu has been the most reliable, efficient, and "honest" sounding dentist I've been to in a long while. I had one ealier of dentists claim I need major work done (deep root cleaning for $600 that insurance will NOT cover), and then I go to Dr. Vu and she tells me they're nuts. She loses 1 star because her office crew are a little slow and clueless, but the wait is short so you don't have to see secretaries very long. read more

As a health care professional myself I have a unique perspective when seeking care from another provider. From the time I walked in on my first visit to the time my treatment was complete, the care and services I received from Dr Vu and her staff were wonderful. I would highly recommend Dr Vu to anyone. Dr. Vu corrected serious denlal problems that had been plaguing both of my daughters. In addition, she gave both of them a beautiful smile thru braces and other corrective measures. She has also treated both of my sisters, one who had braces and whitening , the other had a new set off dentures. Dr. Vu is currently treating me with INVISALIGN braces and I couldn't be happier. If you need a great dentist don't hesitate to see Dr. Vu. read more

Love Dr. Vu and her staff! Everyone is very friendly and very knowledgeable of what they are doing. Highly recommend people to have her as their dentist!!! read more

Dr. Vu is a great dentist! She thoroughly explains what is going on with your teeth and what course of action needs to be taken. She is as gentle as it gets! read more

Super friendly staff, competent dentist who gives her honest professional opinion, and affordable prices. Will definitely be coming back!

I have been a patient of Dr Vu for over 13 years and I love her and her staff they are awesome, visiting them only once is not enough time for anyone to form an opinion. Get to know them like anything else and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. read more

I do not recommend Dr Hong T Vu to be your dentist. She is RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, uses PROFANITY when shes upset and discloses personal patients information to other patients while there sitting in her chair getting work done..She is a LOUSY dentist which i should of changed long time ago. She doesn't know how to do root canals I've heard thought other patients, thank God she didn't do mine..If you just need a cleaning on your teeth i guess its ok because that's the only thing she can do, But anything else wrong with you she will let everyone know your business BEWARE!! GO AT YOUR OWN RISK!! read more

I have not been to the dentist in a really really long time and chose Dr. Vu because of the great reviews on yelp. I was so nervous and shaking and Dr. Vu and her staff made me feel so comfortable! As far as "gossiping", I am glad Dr. Vu was talking to her assistant during my cleaning! Before that, I was really tense and was holding on to the arm rest for dear life lol but when she started talking to her assistant, it relaxed me in a way and I was able to just sink into the chair. I think it helped me take my focus off the sounds of the equipments. She also works around what you have to pay out of pocket which is great compared to other dentists! I've gone to western dental and they will tell you that you need a deep cleaning right away before doing any other procedures however, Dr. Vu goes with what you are comfortable with and works around what YOU want done first. Dr. Vu and her staff are amazing! Love this office and highly recommend her to everyone! read more

This was by far the worst teeth cleaning experience of my life. It was incredibly painful but fortunately only lasted a few minutes. How she got my teeth cleaned in that short time I'll never know but I didn't care, I ran out of that place as quickly as I could. The dentist showed no care or concern while she was working on my teeth. The assistant was nice but essentially poured water all over the bottom half of my face while she was rinsing my mouth out. I mostly blame the shotty equipment but it weird nonetheless. I don't understand the positive reviews but I'm glad not everyone shared the same horrific experience. read more

This office is located in a sketchy part of Long Beach and looking at the outside, I almost didn't go in. But I'm glad I did! The inside is completely different and Dr. Vu was great. She cleaned both my children and my teeth and was very thorough. She is an honest dentist and I feel comfortable going to her. read more

I am a big sissy for dental offices. When i first walked in , you feel welcomed by the receptionist and the vibe. Loved how Dr Vu explained in detailed every question i had. So did the assistant. Def. feel comfortable here and i trust Dr Vu to start and finish my upcoming work ups! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Vu since my now husband's very enthusiastic recommendation about 6 years ago. I had had a prior horrible experience with Western Dental and wish I would've known about Dr. Vu sooner! She and her staff are very warm and friendly and Dr. Vu is always excited to see me. I kinda feel like part of the fam there lol I have had numerous teeth cleanings, X-rays and even a root canal with Dr. Vu. Until about 2 years ago, I paid out of pocket since I didn't have dental insurance and her prices are very reasonable. I had been to a dentist before in a more upscale location that charged around $500 just for X-rays and a white filling. I was ticked! Dr. Vu is WAY more reasonable. One time, she even buffed out some chips and unevenness that I had in my two front teeth at no extra charge! That was so nice of her & it looked WAY better afterward. The only thing is, you usually have to book appointments a couple weeks in advance because she's obviously got a great clientele going and she's busy BUT I just called right now for a wisdom tooth growing in that just started really hurting me yesterday and her staff was able to squeeze me in tomorrow for a small $30 emergency fee which I will gladly pay so I don't have to be in pain all this holiday weekend. In regards to another Yelpers complaint that she talks ("gossips" was his word) with her assistant the whole time, I admit she is chatty but never takes her eyes off what she is doing and she OBVIOUSLY knows what she is doing. After having been to her numerous times, she has never messed up or done less than excellent work. I never worry about the outcome when I'm in Dr. Vu's hands. Bottom line: I love Dr. Vu!! read more

she is one of the best dentist ever and thats coming from a family of doctors and dentists. great with all types of dental work. thanks dr vu! read more

My daughter and I are new to Dr. Vu. My daughter had a very bad experience with our prior dentist and refuses to let the Dr. Vu remove her spacers. She was patient and understanding and tried everything to convince my daughter to let her remove the spacers. Unfortunately after about an hour we all gave up and had to reschedule. The whole staff was supportive and professional about everything. So today we were back to get my annual cleaning and try again on getting my daughter's spacers removed. Mind you today is 12/23/14 everyone is trying to get work done before the year end. My daughter again was not cooperating and did not let Dr.vu do her job. So Dr. Vu continue on with other patients, meanwhile I was able to convince her that she had no other choice but to let the doctor to her job. Needless to say as team we got the spacers out!!! Thank you Dr. Vu and Carrier!!! read more
