Friendly Smile Dentistry

Dr Liu and his staff are so caring and knowledgeable. I really feel like I can trust them. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I’ve had cleanings and deep cleanings done here. Also the dental hygienist was so awesome. She explained everything she was doing and made sure I understood what she was doing. I’m so glad I found a great dentist in Dr Liu! I plan on being a patient for a long time.

It was my first time here. The staff was really nice, dental hygienist explained everything that she was going to be doing, thoroughly cleaned my teeth and very considerate of the patient. The dentist was thorough in reviewing my medical history with me and the exam. Also, very approachable with any concerns or questions I had. I don’t mind the process of getting my teeth cleaned but I love how they feel and look afterwards. I’m definitely returning and 100% recommend this business.

So happy I finally found an excellent dentist in Modesto. Dr. Liu and his staff are amazing. Excellent work, on time, friendly, and tells you what you need without trying to send you off to get more expensive work done that is not necessary. They explain everything to you in detail. I feel like a can trust them and their advice without feeling like they are trying to take my money like I have experienced with some dentists in the past. I’ve had cleaning, deep cleaning, and filling done and they’ve turned out great. I highly recommend them!

2^nd review of this business. It’s been almost a year exactly since my initial visit and I can’t say enough how awesome this place is. I’ve had several cavities filled, my root canal, a deep cleaning, and finally had my crown put on the other day. It didn’t fit quite right and was causing a little discomfort when I ate. 2 days after, I called back. They got me in within an hour and after about 5 minutes of Dr Liu shaving down the problem spot, I was good to go. The staff is always pleasant, helpful, and Dr Liu is so nice. He was so apologetic about me having to come back to fix the crown but it wasn’t even anything that I would have known until I tried to eat. The fact that he was so concerned says a lot about his character. Thank you for being a great dentist, employing great people, and running a great office. My mouth feels better than it’s felt in years and I couldn’t be happier. Please don’t ever leave Modesto lol :)

I had the other side of my deep cleaning done today with Sandra. I love her! She is so kind and does the best job ever. I’ve worked with a few dozen hygienists and she is wonderful. She goes over your teeth 3 times then Dr Liu comes in to double check everything. Love this place. The receptionist is very friendly and professional and Vanessa the RDA is very caring too.

Been with these guys for 4 odd some years, before their really fancy pants new office that you see now. Staff is courteous, professional, quirky, and genuinely pleasant to be around. I liked going to the dentist but they make the experience 200% better. Moving cities soon, and seriously bummed that I have to find another dentist’s office, because this one was so awesome. That’s saying alot too cause I’m a stickler ’bout customer service.

Dentist is very knowledgeable and friendly. Also, unlike other dentists that try to tell you that you have «cavities» with no other explanation, he shows you pictures of said cavities. I have been to multiple dentists that try to scam you and this dentist makes me feel very comfortable. The dental assistants I’ve had have all been great, as well! When cleaning your teeth, they are extremely thorough. In addition, they are all very personable! I love coming here, they easily make a reluctant appointment enjoyable!

I absolutely love this dentist! The staff are all so nice, and the Dr. is very gentle. I have been in for a deep cleaning last year with Sandra and my annual appt today and I can’t say enough about how fantastic she is! I highly recommend this dentist and staff! The name says it all, very friendly and always greeted with a smile! :)

I have been coming to Friendly Smile Dentistry for almost three years now and have never had a bad visit.
When I first starting coming here my teeth were not in the greatest of shape and had a number of years of neglect from not visiting the dentist, but now with the awesome Dr. Liu and his staff they have brought my teeth full circle to being in tip top shape.
I have had a number of filings done here that went super smoothly and there was no problems at all. I get 2 cleanings per year, which always leave my teeth looking top notch. I have also had a deep cleaning here that was done without a hitch. I have also had some more advanced work done here that has only added to my teeth and mouth health.
I even bump into Dr. Liu in public ever once in a while when I am grocery shopping. He is one of the nicest guys I know and really knows his stuff.
This the the dentist I would recommend to anyone in Modesto, which I have done and my friends that have gone to him have also been very happy with their visits.

Dr. Liu and his staff are amazing. They always fit me in their super busy schedule. If I could give 10 stars I would

I LOVE going to the dentist. Says noone ever:) One of the very few things I’m going to miss about Modesto is this dentist. Wish i had known about them sooner. Moving back to LA and it’s just so tough to find a dentist who genuinely cares and is as honest as Dr. Liu down there. So glad I went with my gut instinct to cancel my appt with Access Dental and Friendly Smiles was able to fit me in with a same day appt. They exceeded my overall expectations. Front desk receptionist, my dental hygienist and the doctor himself were all so pleasant. The place itself is so comforting… I’ve never felt as comfortable as I have going to the dentist as I have here. Had dental work done today (again they fit me in super last minute) and was actually falling asleep instead of being scared as sh*t lol. I would definitely consider making trips back to Modesto just for my oral needs!

Best dentist ever! Dr Liu and all his staff our amazing, friendly and truly care about their patients. Never a long wait and easy to get an appointment. They have a new x ray machine, pain free! Always a great experience here.

Be prepared to make appointments a couple of weeks in advance. This doctor is SO good, he’s deservedly in high demand. But they WILL try to get u in ASAP & offer a WAIT LIST in the event of unforeseen cancellations. Love that! I called for an appt this morning and was seen this afternoon!
LOVED the experience. Flawless from start to finish. Brand new facility both in and out. Ample parking. The most adorable asssitant you’ve ever met — professional, sweet, helpful & incredibly nice. (Love her!) The tooth cleaning was done by Sandra who was gentle. What struck me the most here was that she was PATIENT. I felt like I was the only patient she had on the docket. I appreciated her thoroughness. The doctor here reviewed the shoddy work completed by another dentist and confirmed the issue (which was the same confirmation I’d received from a specialist about the cause of the problem I was having). He immediately identified the problem & presented two plans of correction. He workswith a sense of urgency to correct issues in the order in which you’re experiencing discomfort or pain. He’s thoughtful and thorough, INCREDIBLY NICE, and intelligent. He cares about the patients and the quality of care he provides. His staff is HAPPY to be there (and let’s face it, you WANT happy employees that are working on your teeth!!). The facility is beautiful with its gorgeous floors & granite counters. The equipment is sleek and modern so you feel like it’s conveying accurate information (no hidden problems). The only hiccups I found were the taste of the water that I had to use to spit (no big deal) and I was in the one room that didn’t have its own flat screen tv (but all of the other rooms do so if this is an issue for you, just request a different room because all of them have one). The water needs a filter but when I was growing up, I drank unfiltered tap water just fine so doing a 5 second rinse & spit is fine, hahaha! Overall, I’d highly recommend this place. I was incredibly impressed from start to finish. The doctor is talented and smart. I love that! To all of you other busy moms, Friendly Smile also accepts children (yea!!!) so you can knock it all out in one shot! Definitely worth five solid stars.

Our family dentist retired so needless to say scary going to a new dentist! Dr and staff phenomenal from the time u walk in until the time u walk out!!! Will stay until he retires… hopefully not for a very long time.

Another well earned 5 star review! Dr. Liu and staff are a delight! My daughter has a complete dental phobia and now looks forward – seriously – looks forward to going to Dr. Liu. He also suggested a great oral surgeon when it was needed for her wisdom teeth. Thank you Dr. Liu and staff for being so wonderful!

I recently went to Dr. Liu based on the positive Unilocal reviews and I agree with them all. He is fantastic! He and all his stafff are very friendly, warm, and truly seem happy that you’re there. I recently brought my 3 year old in as well for his first check up, and the nurse put him right at ease. Dr. Liu was great with him as well, and let him pick a toy when he was done. I don’t see myself or my family going anywhere else for our dental work :)

The most thorough dental service ever! The staff are friendly and professional,

Generally speaking nobody enjoys the dentist. Dr. Liu and his staff make is as pleasant of an experience as possible. You will certainly be numb when he is working on you. Plus he is open on Saturday.

No false advertising here. Dr. Liu and staff are friendly and smile. You’ll also leave with a smile. The best part is that Dr. Liu is very good at numbing you up, so you pretty much don’t feel a thing whether you’re getting a deep clean or some fillings.
I’ve had fillings two other times in my life with different dentists, and it was a big pain. I assumed that I had sensitive teeth (although I’ve never had problems with cold food or chewing on hard foods, etc.). But Dr. Liu was so good at numbing the area that I didn’t feel any pain while getting a cavity filled. I kept waiting for something to hurt, but it never did.
