Gary Niu, DMD

Dr. Niu has been my orthodontist since I was 8 years old. He fixed my underbite at 8, braces in middle school, and now at 21 the time has come for the dreaded wisdom teeth. I was told by an oral surgeon that my wisdom teeth needed to be extracted all at once because they were moving my teeth. I came to Dr. Niu for a second opinion. He advised me to wait until these wisdom teeth emerged to extract them. They were NOT moving my teeth and I did NOT need intensive surgery like the oral surgeon had told me. My first wisdom tooth broke the surface and using just local anesthesia he pulled it out within 15 minutes. I only took Tylenol for the first day and was healed within the week. When my other wisdom teeth emerge he will do the same procedure and my insurance will not be charged for an intensive surgical procedure. Dr. Niu is an honest doctor who wants the best for his patients and delivers great service.

Dr. Niu is a great dentist! I got my braces and retainers from him and still a client for over 10 years.

8 molar teeth filled for 5 year old, NO Sedation!
The reason I chose Dr. Niu was simple: he did not practice general anesthesia or any other sedation.
Every other dentists I visited (I consulted 5 dentists before Dr. Niu) wanted to put my daughter to sleep before they can do the job. According to them, my daughter’s cavities were so bad (yes, some of the cavities indeed were just huge), and there was no way to fix them when she was conscious. However, I happened to heard some bad stories on sedation from my friends, and was unease. These guys all appeared so nice, assuring me sedation was safe blah blah. BUT they still need me to sign the waiver. And I just can’t. It is not 100% safe at all! Yes the risk is low, but to me, filling teeth simply cannot justify the risk, especially when you have a choice.
My daughter was crying all night, I know I had to find someone. I spent a lot time to read through the reviews in Unilocal and finally found Dr.Niu. I drove a long way to him. And the experience turned out to be just wonderful!
Dr. Niu had very strong will power and spoke with authority, which influenced my daughter, and earned her trust at very first visit. After that, everything worked out like magic. She used to reject any tool getting into her mouth, but just magically became cooperative. We had in total 4 visits, and she had all her 8 molar teeth filled. The other small teeth were bad too, but Dr. Niu suggested we don’t fix them since the new one will come out soon. She is so happy now since she can have candy again.

I have been coming to Dr. Niu ever since I was a little girl. He has been one of the best orthodontist I have ever had by far! If he was not good I probably wouldn’t keep coming back to him after all these years.
I remember when my mom bought me here when I was 11 for the first time to get braces done. He had me get x-​rays done and had my teeth examined then had us follow up with him a week later so he can find the best solution for aligning up my teeth. I have a special case where two of my teeth are missing. He gave me two options to choose from and recommended me what he thought would be the best solution. I did appreciate the fact that he took the time to explaining to us what his plans would be before going forward with the braces.
Fast-​forward a couple years. Now it was time for me to get my wisdom teeth pulled out and I have to say Dr Niu is definitely is one of the most honest and patient doctor’s I have ever worked with. He has already removed three since they grew out. I have one last stubborn wisdom tooth that hasn’t grown out yet and he honestly told me to come back when it does. If it doesn’t come out then there is no need to force it out. He sure did save me from a lot of pain. If there are any parents out there looking for a new orthodontist, definitely bring them here cause he will be sure to take great care of your kids. Thank you again Dr. Niu for the beautiful smile you have given me all these years!

I’ve been looking for pediatric dentist for over a year and have not find the one I like. Finally I was introduced by my brother and see dr. Niu. I am so happy to find him. He does not do general anesthesia like other dentists. I am very worried about the general anesthesia because so much side effect: can cause death. My son just teared a little, he was able to follow instructions and sit still. He need another side to be done. We will be back for the follow up. Dr. Niu: Thank you so much! Dr. Niu is the best dentist in town! I will bring both of my kids to him from now on.

I got my wisdom tooth removed today and I didn’t feel a thing. The whole process went really smoothly and relaxed. THanks Dr. Niu and staff

I actually don’t dread going to the dentists! I’ve been coming to Dr. Niu since I was 3. He is one of the most patient dentists I know and truly cares about each and every one of his patients. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good dentist.

When I was a kid I would use to always smile with my mouth closed but now I love showing off my teeth in pictures People often compliment on my smile yet the truth is it’s all the work of Dr. Niu. He knows teeth like no other; his work is like magic. In my review I will share my braces experience and my wisdom tooth removing experience.
**Braces**
My two older sisters and I all went to Dr. Niu for braces. Yet out of us three my teeth were probably the most messed up to begin with. It’s been awhile since I had braces so sorry I don’t have any before photos to show, and if I owned any, I would probably burn them before anyone sees them. Okay okay, maybe my teeth weren’t THAT bad but I had pretty bad buckteeth when I was a kid. I remember in elementary school kids would use to pick on me because of my teeth and I was very self-​conscious about them.
Then I turned to Dr. Niu for braces. He pulled out 2 teeth and pulled back my upper teeth. I had braces for about two years. I am still amaze how the braces helped so much. This is going to sound crazy but braces actually slightly reconstructed my face shape. Before braces my face was more round afterwards my face became more egg shape. Dr. Niu is a miracle worker!
Even now when people compliment on my smile, I am still a bit surprised; what once was biggest insecurity as a kid is now one of my best physical qualities.
~Note: Don’t think once you have braces everything is all good, you still need to wear your retainers! If you don’t wear your retainers, your teeth might go back and you’ll need to get braces again (that happen to my sister). I’ve been 5 years braces free but I still wear my retainers every night when I sleep (or at least every other night). I go to Dr. Niu once a year or so to make sure my retainer isn’t loose.
**Wisdom tooth**
I got 1 wisdom tooth pulled out from Dr. Niu. Before going in I was pretty nervous because I always hear stories on how painful the procedure is and I have seen my friends with chickmunk cheeks after getting their wisdom tooth removed. Well my experience was pretty pain free and NO ONE could tell I got my wisdom tooth pulled out the next day. Actually no one would even believe me when I told them because there wasn’t any visible swelling.
How is this possible???
Dr. Niu explains to me how when it comes to wisdom teeth, most dentists cuts the patients gums so they can dissects the teeth into pieces and then pull out the teeth bits. Yet Dr. Niu doesn’t cut the gums but pulls the teeth as a whole. By not cutting the gums it prevents the swelling and reduce the pain. The only discomfort I remember is the slight pulling pressure when removing the teeth. It was also a bit annoying how afterwards I had to constantly suck on cotton balls drenched in my blood (sorry for the graphic detail) but hey, matter how you pull your wisdom tooth, there’s going to a lot of blood involved.
I’m not going to lie, Dr. Niu’s services are a bit pricy but it’s worth it. My advice is to go to Dr. Niu for the big stuff. I honestly don’t know what I will do if I didn’t have Dr. Niu. My mom even says how braces is probably one of the best investment she ever made on me (yeah I know, it’s a bit sad…) but it’s true.

Hi all! I have been going to Dr. Niu since I was little and I have to say, he is the best dentist I have ever had. I’ve had another dentist before Dr. Niu when I was younger, who was rude and did not care about his patients. Everyone in the office is very knowledgeable, courteous, and care about your oral health. I also had my braces installed by doctor Niu when I was in high school. All very great experiences. All tools that they use are kept very clean and they have kept with the times, working with computers. If you are not happy with your current dentist or orthodontist, go ahead and give Dr Niu a try.

Dr. Niu is a great dentist! I’ve been going there since I was about 7 and he’s always been very informative and patient. I will be needing implants soon, because I’m missing adult teeth. He’s going to transfer me to some other orthodontist to do that, and is going to work with him to do it. Also, Dr. is very honest telling his patients how will things feel like (any pain etc). His front desk assistants are very friendly and nice, and will call you when a teeth cleaning appointment is needed. I am very satisfied and happy!

My little girl and I would like to say Thank You always to Dr. Niu and his super team for making the dentist trips awesome!

I love Dr. Niu!!! He has been my one and only dentist since I was 3. He cares about all his patients and makes sure that they are always satisfied. He gives the best advices for your teeth & even about life if you talk to him about it. I had all my baby teeth pulled out, braces, and even all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed by him. I would say he did a GREAT job on my braces and removing my wisdom teeth especially. I’ve seen a lot of my friends get their wisdom teeth taken out and their cheeks got really swollen for days. Luckily for me, Dr. Niu knows a way to remove your wisdom teeth w/​o your cheeks being swollen. Let’s be real, I didn’t want to look like a chipmunk for a few days –_​_​_​-​. I still go back for normal check ups, to adjust my retainers, and to clean my teeth every now and then to make sure my teeth are in perfect condition and that I don’t have any cavities. I’ve never had cavities in my life and I surely do not want to have any now or ever!!!
If I could give Dr. Niu 10 stars, I would cause he’s an AMAZING DENTIST!!!

Dr. Niu has been my dentist for many years. In fact, when I was little, I used to come here because of the many cavities I had from eating sweets. I also came here to get braces.
Dr. Niu is an exception dentist and orthodontist. He takes great care of his patients, of which mostly consist of children. However, there are also adults, who like me, have stayed because we like this place. His staff is professional and friendly. He and his staff do thorough examinations and keep careful records of your teeth. Also, everything is very clean, from the furniture to the dental equipment.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Niu since I was about 5 years old, and he’s absolutely wonderful! Not only is he friendly and patient, but his staff members are all the best too!
He’s very professional at what he does, and very honest as well. I had my smile perfected by him with braces, and I had my wisdom teeth removed by him as well (which is one of the things that I’m so thankful for). It didn’t hurt, and there was no swelling at all! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great dentist!

My sister and I have been going to Dr. Niu for as long as I can remember, and he’s never really let us down. He can be a bit blunt when it comes to personal regimen, but he is very good at what he does.
I recently had the last of my wisdom teeth extracted, and compared to what I’ve heard from my friends about their extractions, Dr. Niu is a miracle worker. No swelling of any kind, and while he took my teeth out in two sessions, neither of them were very painful. In fact, they were essentially the same as removing regular teeth. I was able to eat as I pleased the next day, and with minimal surgery, the follow up took less than 5 minutes.
Definitely the best dentist in the area, as far as I can tell.

Dr. Niu is a very great dentist and orthodontist. My brother and I have been coming here ever since we were little. He helped me with my two front teeth and perfected my smile with braces. He even helped me with my brother with his wisdom teeth removal and my brother never swelled up after the procedure. He’s a very patient doctor and knows how to treat his patients.
All of my cousins and relatives were recommended to come here and they’ve been his patients as well.

Dr. Niu’s dentistry is wonderful! He was my orthodontist when I had braces, but I also see him for regular check-​ups. I recently had my wisdom tooth removed, but I was not worried at all. There was no pain, no swelling or medication needed the next day. All my widom teeth were extracted by Dr. Niu and I never had to take medication or had my face swell like other wisdom teeth cases. Dr. Niu waits for the wisdom tooth/​teeth to grow out so he won’t need to cut open your gums, which will cause the swelling and pain.
As for my braces, my teeth are straight and I get compliments on how straight they are often. Dr. Niu made ortho visits easy and quick, but with quality care!
I highly highly recommend Dr. Niu!

I went here to get my wisdom teeth removed. At first i was quite worried, but however Dr. Niu was very reassuring. Overall my operation was relatively painless except for a bit of pressure. I recommend this place for all your dental needs.

Dr. Nui is an excellent pediatric dentist. He’s patient and understanding. My 4 year old daughter got 5 filings and we didn’t have to use straps. He uses intimidation sometimes but it works. He was totally understanding when she would cry and he would stop and give her breaks. I’ve been to multiple dentists because I couldn’t find one I liked. But Dr. Nui is great. Both my kids come here and they enjoy coming now. His shots also doesn’t hurt much.

Dr. Niu has been my dentist since I was a baby. (I’m 23 now.) He’s taken care of my baby teeth and my adult teeth. He was there to repair my chipped front tooth after a scooter accident (lol) and a few other accidents with my two front teeth when I was younger. His assistants are very friendly and nice. The receptionists there are friendly as well and have always called me to remind me of a teeth cleaning a few days before my appointment (most places won’t do that). Today I had my wisdom tooth pulled and was very afraid of the pain. Surprisingly, everything went normal and I did not feel a thing. I would definitely recommend Dr. Niu to all of my friends and family.
