Leonard C Fu, DMD

I have been a patient of Dr. Fu’s for over 20 years. My son has been a patient of Dr. Maria since his very first visit as a toddler. Exceptional service. Not cheap, so expect some extra expenses above the typical insurance coverages, BUT SO WORTH IT. I am extremely pain-​sensitive and, having been with my prior dentist for two decades, someone whom I felt was the only dentist that «understood» me, I felt genuine terror when he told me he was retiring and now I had to find a new dentist. I don’t even remember how I came to the Drs. Aganon-​Fu/​Fu, but I bless the day I did. Over the years, Dr. Fu has changed out all my metal fillings to resin, installed inlays, given me a root canal and crown, and done a complete implant process (tooth removal, graft, post, implanted tooth). On the latter, I experienced an abscess explosion while away from home on vacation and, not wanting to go to any old dentist, called Dr. Fu’s emergency line at the office very late at night, whereupon he prescribed an antibiotic at a pharmacy where I happened to be, called the pharmacist personally to stay open after closing time to fill my prescription, gave me his personal cell number so I could give him updates, scheduled me into emergency surgery as soon as I arrived back home, and generally went WAY above the call of duty to take care of me. Dr. Maria is flat out the BEST pediatric dentist I have ever met. My son has never experienced any fear or pain or lack of trust. And before I finish, let me through a nice warm glow over the dental hygienists and assistants; they are sensitive, capable, and super nice.

I have been with Dr Maria Fu and Dr Leonard Fu for 17 years. My son had very poor gums– by genetics. They did 3 !!! Root canals !!! on him when he was between 5 – 7 years old. They saved his teeth and gums from a horrible rotten mouth. when his permanent teeth came in, they helped keep them cavity free. I have very good healthy teeth, and they have helped me maintain them through the years. They have the latest technology in the office, and x-​rays are quick and easy. I have a narrow jaw and TMJ, so they made me a mouth guard for night time. Super simple and easy. They have some quality cleaning technicians, that do outstanding work as well. The Doctors have decades of experience and it shows. They are stellar at what they do. They are specialists in the field. If you have serious issues or just need a dentist/​mouth specialist you can trust for yourself or for your kids, it doesn’t get better that the Fu’s practice. They are a local, family owned practice. They care about their patients, and get to know us.

Our family has seen Dr. Leonard and Dr. Maria since we moved here 17 years ago. They are the best dentists and kindest people in the world. Their daughter, Dr. Sarita is now practicing there on the pediatric side and is amazing with our special needs son. They are the best.

My family has been seeing Dr. Fu for about 8 years. We have a daughter who was so terrified when she was a middle schooler and they were so great with her. He has also been able to clean my son’s teeth without any sedation (he has autism). He is such a kind man and so cutting edge. He is a one stop dentist for all kinds of work. Many people have a periodontist and an endodonist and all I need is Dr. Fu. I highly recommend this dental practice.

We take our entire family to Dr. Maria and Dr. Leonard Fu. They are very good at what they do and the environment is clean and friendly. It was a major change from our last dentist who was less modernized and thorough. We would highly recommend both Dr. Fu’s!

Dr fu has been the only dentist I’ve been going to since I was 6 years old. I’m in my thirties now. My family has been going to him for even longer than that. He’s not only a fantastic dentist, he has amazing bedside manner, is extremely knowledgeable, and is very skilled at what he does. Even off hours, he will talk to you if you have an emergency and will fit you in if you’re in pain. His shots are painless too.
For those who are saying he’s too much $$, as with any insurance call ahead of time and check if he’s In Network. He happens to not be in my companies network, but I’ll pay extra just to be able to see him. We love Dr. Fu!!! Highly recommended!!!

I was a patient of Dr. Fu from 1996 until 2008 when I moved to San Diego. I found a local dentist down there and things were fine until my teeth fractured and I needed veneers put in. Instead of listening to my inner voice and making the extra effort to have trustworthy Dr. Fu do my veneers, I let my local San Diego dentist do my veneers. What a mistake. They:
1) were not properly color matched
2) were too fat
3) were too thick
4) were too square
5) had a seam in the back
6) were uncomfortable
7) didn’t completely cover the stubs
8) had a square ridge that stuck way too far out
9) were one solid color
10) were uneven.
Basically they looked like off-​colored oversized chiclets. Unhappy with my veneers, I flew up to the Bay Area to ask Dr. Fu if he could fix them. As always he took the time to thoroughly discuss our options. We talked about it for a few hours, weighing the pros and cons. He agreed to replace the veneers. Before removing the old veneers, he took the time to re-​shape them to give me a preview of how the new ones would look. He then removed them and put in temporary veneers which looked tremendously better than the chiclets. He spent the extra time to make sure they looked perfect. I said «There are just temporaries, right? Just slap ‘em in, who cares if they’re not perfect?». He replied with pride «I care». 3 weeks later my permanent veneers were ready and Dr. Fu had Gary the Lab Guy come over to adjust the color until they matched. Dr. Fu is a perfectionist, even more so than I am. He shaped the veneers to feel and look completely like my real teeth. They:

1) are properly color matched
2) fit in perfectly with the rest of my teeth
3) are consistent with the rest of my teeth
4) are shaped like teeth
5) have no seam in the back
6) are completely comfortable
7) completely cover the stubs
8) do not stick out past my real teeth
9) have varying shades and tones and nuances including faked up calcification marks (see photos)
10) are even.
If you want your veneers done properly and perfectly, go to Dr. Fu. He’s a MAGD artist without an ego who has spent a lifetime perfecting his craft.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Fu for ten years and my mom and sister have been seeing him for longer. He’s always done amazing work. I’ve had other dentists see my fillings and compliment their quality and durability.

This is a place that you do not want to go. They charge unbelievably high fee. My family spent $$$ over years and recently got fed up by it and left. The staff appears to be nice and capable though.

I think Dr. Fu is the greatest. He educate’s you & shows u step by step what needs to be done & whats being done. He takes photos of all your teeth & gives you a clear understanding of what and when you should take care of first. They have care credit & offer 18 months interest free. He’s a great Dr. & does great work. I’m going back to get 6 more filling’s fixed cause I hadn’t been to the dentist in 3 years so I’ll keep u posted on the great work he does!

Dr. Fu is a perfectionist. He also has a real thing for gadgets. At my first visit he photographed all my teeth then walked me through my mouth on a monitor at the chair. For each issue he noticed with my teeth he also had a variety of additional photos to illustrate the problem. It would have been really cool if we were discussing another person’s mouth instead of my own.
I ended up coming back for a crown. I won’t say that it was fun, but when I told him that I’d had a recent dental trauma he was extremely gentle with me. He also does crowns in a single visit rather than two visit. It was nice to reduce the annoyance. When it was all done he insisted on showing off how well he’d exactly matched the subtle staining of my teeth with his new crown. You have to love that attention to detail.
Another great thing about Dr. Fu is the fact that his wife has a pediatric practice in the adjoining space. For people with kids it’s a nice convenience to have all the dentistry and records in a single location.
