Brooks Larson, DDS

Dr. Larson has really been a great. I feel confident with his knowledge and judgement. If only my MD was like him. Ive had good dentists in the past and even a one bad. Dr. Larson stands out with his pride in craftsmanship and his use of technology. Today, he showed me a new piece of equipment that mills crowns in office. Wow, only ¼ million and I could have one at home. To say the least, I was more than impressed. Thus, my review. Thanks again Dr. Larson. My smile is looking good again!

I chipped my tooth, had just moved to OC, and an acquaintance recommended Dr. Larson to me. It was an emergency so I didn’t have a chance to find a different dentist. He rattled on about how he bought the practice from skilled dentists who molded their own crowns in house. How does that relate to Dr. Larson’s competence? Well it doesn’t because when I asked for a gold crown he pushed for a porcelain crown seeming more comfortable with it since he could shave it and make it fit instead of having to make a perfect fit before hand. He did guarantee the work for life… whether this is true remains to be seen. Luckily I haven’t had problems with the crown yet. He also told me the person who recommended him to me went along with everything he suggested. Not me, I like to be educated about the best care for my teeth and in being informed I get a feel for how competent the dentist is. There ARE bad dentists who are just there to make money. I had been to my regular dentist 6 months before and had no cavities, but when I visited Dr. Larson to get a crown he did a check up and told me I needed 3 fillings. Needless to say I didn’t go back and here I am 3 years later, went to a new dentist, and there were no cavities. For these reasons I strongly urge anyone to get a second opinion if ever in doubt and to never go here in the first place!!! Check my other Unilocal reviews for the dentist I do recommend.

This facility is beautiful and the staff is incredibly friendly. Dr. Larson was incredible! I’ve gone to a dentist before who I felt was ripping me off & having me get unnecessary work done for the money. This was NOT the case with Dr. Larson!
He showed me in great detail color pictures of my teeth from multiple angles, showed me where potential issues were, what needed to be done right away & what we could wait on. The technology was incredible, but his knowledge really impressed me. He took the time to explain the tools he would be using & did everything to make me feel at ease. He took the time to make sure that the fillings were the exact color of my teeth.
Throughout the experience his humor & friendly demeanor made me feel at ease. I would recommend him to anyone needing dental work!

Dr. Larson is awesome. Detailed, takes his time, never rushed and very thorough. He is very knowledgable and informative. Gentle and makes a visit to the dentist as pleasant as a visit to the dentist can be. The staff at his office is super friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. I’ve had a ton of work done by Dr. Larson and I highly recommend him. I’ve been to many dentists and I’m so glad I finally found the right one, Dr. Larson!

Dr. Brooks Larson is a wonderful, honest and compassionate person! He is my dentist of choice, unfortunately, I don’t live in S. CA anymore! I will, however, make an appointment when I’m in town! Don’t hesitate to trust that he will have your best interest at heart; combine that with his stellar education and passion for dentistry and you have your family dentist for the next 30+ years… I know I do!

Dr. Larson is amazing. Actually — he and his whole staff are Amazing!
They are friendly, professional and very, very, very knowledgeable. After my husband went to get his teeth cleaned; we took my then 4 year old daughter to get her teeth cleaned (her first dentist visit E.V.E.R.!) and Dr. Larson was so good, gentle and funny to her that she always asks to go to back to see the dentist!
We’ll continue to go to Dr. Larson for all teeth related services =)
We highly recommend him.

very clean and friendly environment. i was at ease and comfortable with Dr. brooks. thank you for great work and service!

I was referred to Dr. Brooks by a friend after telling her that I am a dental chicken and going to the dentist has always given me anxiety over the years. When I went in for my appt. with Dr. Brooks I found his office to be very nice and comfortable. His staff was friendly and the hygienist who helped get me started was very kind and made me feel really comfortable. Unfortunately for me, I had to have a tooth extracted. Dr. Brooks was very kind and gentle. He made sure I understood what he was doing during the procedure and made sure that I felt no pain what so ever. I had another appointment with Dr. Brooks for another tooth that was broken and he took his time in trying to save my tooth rather that having to extract this one as well. I felt no pain again during the procedure and it healed without pain as well. I would recommend Dr. Brooks to other friends and family, especially to ones who are afraid of having dental work done.

I know I’m probably in the minority but I look forward to going to the dentist. I’ve been coming to this dentist since I was a little kid and they were located off of Chapman Avenue in Fullerton. Terry works the front desk and she’s been there at least 20 years. She’s always wonderful and is one of those people that can put you in a good mood. Gina is my usual hygienists and has a gentle touch but is always thorough. I swear she takes notes because she remembers my dad and sister and what they’ve been up to. (They go there too) Dr. Richardson is always easy going and a conversationalist. He’s really diligent about noticing the little problems before they become big ones and typically can perform any fillings with out anesthetic. There is only one drawback to this office. They don’t take HMO dental plans. Only PPO plans here and since my work is super cheap on they’re dental coverage I end up paying full price to come here. I’ve tried going to the dentists provided in the HMO plans and they can’t hold a candle to this place.
