I have always had an issue with my teeth due to my overbite and I had a crown put on. The tooth always bothered me. The crown was rubbing between teeth and you can clearly see a gap between the crown and gum. I had delayed replacing a crown for several years before l could find a dentist I could trust. Over the years, I have been to many different dentists and none of them can fix it the way I want. I was told by other dentist that the tooth needed to be extracted and I needed an implant and crown. I was not very happy with the thought of loosing a tooth. I did a lot of research and I finally found Dr. Aimin Liu and his staff. They did a wonderful job and the procedure was the best dental experience I have ever had (also completely painless)! Dr. Liu is very knowledgeable and friendly. He took the time to listen and address all of my questions and consult with me individually when we discussed my crown issue. He recommended the most conservative approach for me. He has never rushed me into making any decisions and He is extremely conscientious and detailed in his work. He is only satisfied with the very best and thinks in the best interest of the patient. Before the procedure, Dr. Liu diagnosed my tooth using digital X-ray and explained the procedure in detail. I have always been afraid of the needle but the procedure was truly pain free and fast. He applies anesthetic gel on my gum and then the local anesthetic is injected. I did not feel any pain during the whole procedure. Once we started, he kept asking how I was doing and explaining what was the next step. It really helped me to calm down. The whole procedure only took less than 20 minutes to complete and he put on a temporary crown while he made my porcelain crown. After the procedure I was a little sore just where the injection was which he told me may be the case. After 3 days, my crown was ready. After Dr. Liu placed the new crown, I was so happy. It perfectly sits between my teeth, not too high, not too low and there is no gap between the crown and gum. They have various payment options and fair pricing. Dr. Liu's team made sure I was comfortable prior to scheduling the appointment. His office is great at returning calls and making sure paperwork is done quickly and timely. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist for their dental needs or even for a second opinion. He listens, and makes you feel comforted. There is no question too small and you are not an inconvenience to him. Overall, Dr. Liu is the best dentist I've had. Great professional service in an outstanding environment, totally painless, efficient, and high tech! He is an amazing doctor. I can't say enough good about him. read more

Dr. Liu and his staff is the best dental office ever! My experience has been nothing but amazing here. The receptionist was very accommodating and polite when I called to schedule an appointment. Upon arriving, I knew I was in good hands. Not only is their office in a great location, but it is pristine, organized, clean and inviting. I was very satisfied with a painless deep cleaning completed by Idina which she was exceedingly exceptional (rated @ 100 stars). She was thorough, precise, and very knowledgeable of the task. She provided informative information about the process and communicated with me everything necessary for me to know about what she was doing and why. She was also very helpful with telling me what necessary maintenance were required before my next appointment.

Really BAD, HORRIBLE, UNBELIEVABLE experience happened on my 7-yr old kid when extracting a cavity tooth and later become a small dental surgery due to a mistake they made. Even worse, the Doctor reacted EXTREMELY RUDE by throwing the dental equipment heavily on the table and roared at my kid, "WHAT ARE YOU CRYING FOR? STOP CRYING!" to response my kid's suffering as anesthesia effect became weaker. My family, especially my kid feels really offended. My kid is still under a hard time to go through it. However, the litigant didn't given any sincerely apologize to my family so far. Even after we contacted with your assistant several times, but it looks like our requests have be unnoticed again and again. My family didn't feel any basic respect in this place, let alone the professional attitude as a doctor. Honestly, I really want to give a negative score, if it had. After all, YOU STILL OWN US AN APOLOGIZE!!! read more

the clinic is clean as the attached photos. The equipments are new. Doctor Liu is very nice and very patient to explain the questions that I am concerned. Give me sereral treatments to choice and give me the suggestons that I can make good decision. I did PERIODONTAL SCALING AND ROOT PLANING, RESIN-BASED COMPOSITE and REMOVAL OF IMPACTED TOOTH. After I was done, I stay there for a rest. After half an hour, Doctor Liu saw I was still there and did not go to CVS for the medicine. Doctor Liu thought the anesthetic would be gone soon， he gave me some medicines and a cup of water, even though the water machine is nearby me. His careful behavior impressed me. Doctor Liu also asked me to come back and recheck after one week without any charge. Everyone smiles and very nice. I do not have painful with the treatments. read more

I had a tooth implant done recently. Before going to Smile Solutions, I was nervous about the procedure after hearing about the pain and terrible experiences from other family members. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Liu after having a great experience with him. After the consultation, Dr. Liu reassured me that the procedure will be done in a way where I can feel the most comfort as possible, and I was definitely pleased with the decision of doing the procedure through Dr. Liu. The amount of numbing used was perfect; the moment he completed the implant, the numbing wore off almost immediately. The recovery was almost painless. Overall, I am very happy with Dr. Liu's skill and professionalism. I highly recommend Smile Solutions to anyone looking for very professional dental care. read more

It is my 2nd visit to the office based on a recommendation from a relative. I am basically trying to get a 2nd opinion on tooth implant. Here is a quick summary of why I rated the visit so high: 1. The place is clean and has a lot of lights. 2. I didn't feel any pressure from the Dr. Liu to get the tooth implant and I found his analysis quite frank and honest. 3. Dr. Liu actually prepare information about the tooth implant and his work in a packet/folder so that I can review it before making any decision. 4. The price is very competitive. 5. The staff is very social and nice. Always answer with a smile. 6. I didn't have to wait long for my appointment. 7. During the tooth extraction, I was even given a pair of glass so that my eyes won't get too stressed with that overhead light. read more

I am so glad that I found Dr. Liu. At the time I was looking for a dentist for second opinion. after that I switched my family and I completely to Dr. Liu. Through insurance I found this office, I was impressed from my first phone call. Connie, the receptionist, was so friendly, knowledgable and patient. She spendt over 45 minutes tried to explain my benefit and what's the best option for me. Shortly after, I scheduled an appointment, the office was clean and stuff was very friendly. And most of all, Dr. Liu's skill was phenominal. On top of everything, they open every Saturday and Sunday. How convenient ! Now I am telling all my friends and family about Smile Solutions. Don't believe me, try it yourself. read more

I never post yelp reviews, but I had to give this place a 5 star. I changed my dentist to the Dr. Liu and his staff just last year, and they have been absolutely amazing! They are thorough with regular cleanings, affordable + transparent with dental procedures, and friendly + efficient with scheduling. I had two implants done here and I was able to eat my normal diet within a day! I literally couldn't believe it. All this for HALF the price of my previous dentist back in Oakland. Even with the trek, I've come back for night guards and have recommended all of my families and friends. Definitely worth giving this place a shot. read more

Dr Liu was recommended to me by one of his satisfied patients, and I took the advice. I went there because my previous dentist had a unique way of always finding more problems, and the cost of an implant was so exorbitant. Since going to Dr Liu, I have had an implant, a root canal and crown, and some periodontal work, and I no longer have dental problems. Dr Liu and his staff are ones who seem to take care of problems, not make them, and his prices are always reasonable. I am very satisfied. I am always happy to go to his office, because everyone is so pleasant and professional. Thank You. Dr Liu. read more

There are two things about Smile Solutions that leave me assured that I am in better hands than where I had once gone. First, the staff takes notes on what was done in the appointment, and that assures me that the appropriate procedures will be done in the future. Second, there is going to be a staff member who makes time to answer questions or concerns. I would like to emphasize that I didn't have either of them with the former dentist I used to see. I am relieved to have found Dr. Liu and his staff. read more
