Michael Lum, DDS

Great experience again… I love the text reminders and Outlook calendar appointment scheduling. This use of technology is invaluable for us folks with busy schedules and Dr. Lum’s office is on top of it!

Five stars isn’t enough when rating Dr. Michael Lum and his staff. I’ve been seeing Dr. Lum for about 7 years and by far the best dentist I’ve experienced. I’m 39 and have two girls ages 8 and 11. My wife and kids were seeing a local dentist that my wife has seen since her childhood. Last year we made the change to Dr. Lum for my wife and kids and here’s why. My wife had an aching molar that her old dentist part of the Almaden Dental Care group could not fix. It was very sensitive and painful depending on the time of day and foods she would eat. This went on for about two years, dealing with the same area of her mouth. Finally, I convinced her to see Dr. Lum and voila long story short, turns out she needed a root canal. She is now pain free.
I also had all my old silver fillings replaced with the new white porcelain about 7 – 9 months ago. I was reluctant to do this after reading horror stories on the internet. In fact, i canceled my appt twice LOL… However, one of my friends who also is a patient of Dr. Lum, had it done without any problems so I decided to proceed. I’m extremely happy with the results and I didn’t experience any problem areas. I had both the uppers and lowers done. I believe it’s because Dr. Lum cares and is very knowledgeable in Dentistry.
They have latest equipment and technology, very professional, caring and honest. Most importantly, they have always worked well with our insurance provider which changes year to year with my company. Well worth the drive twice a year and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I’ve been with Dr. Lum for 30 years, first with Dr. Howard now with Dr. Michael. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The work that they’ve done with my teeth is amazing. I had my 2 front teeth replaced with porcelain and they look like my real teeth. I am very impressed with the quality of material and work he has done to ensure the porcelain perfectly matches the rest of my teeth. Dr. Michael has high standards and he takes his time to make sure he does it right the first time.
I am very happy and satisfied customer.
Thanks,
Mila

I used to go to Dr. Mikes dad when I was a wee one, and I was the kid who had to go to the orthodontist and the dentist CONSTANTLY as a kid… I had braces (the nasty silver ones) headgear, YOU NAME IT. I never wanted to go to a dentist EVER AGAIN. A broken tooth necessitated a crown… and Dr. Mike worked magic. How much magic, you ask? I, who am terrified of the dentist… decided to get my chompers fixed permanently and get veneers. If you know about veneers, it is about the most intense process I can imagine. (I almost don’t think a root canal would be worse) Long story short. MAGIC. I have the most lovely, perfect, straight and pearly set of teeth EVER. THANK YOU DR. MIKE!

I initially book both my boyfriend and my appointment with the receptionist, Christine. We needed a dental exam and cleaning. She was very helpful and explained all the details with our insurance. She is such a sweetheart! Dr. Lum and his team were very nice and friendly. The environment was clean and inviting, which was very important because my boyfriend is terrified to go to the dentist which prolong him to ever visit one. My cleaning was super gentle, no pain, and my teeth came out super duper clean and whiter. Dr. Lum was very thorough and answer any questions we had. He also gave me wonderful tips on how to keep my teeth whiter from all that coffee I drink. Haha
I would have to say my visit to Dr. Lum was the best dental experience by far. I highly recommend!

The entire staff is great! Dr. Michael makes you feel confortable and like a real person. Christine is so nice and friendly. Norma is sooooo funny and makes me laugh every time. I feel like i’m visiting with family instead of going to the dentist.

Dr. Lum takes care of me! I always recommend my family and friends to come to him. He’s very detailed about what he will be doing and is very sincere. I’ve been going to him for two years now due to my friend referring me to him and it’s been a great experience so far.

Excellent dentist, pays great attention to detail. He really knows what he is doing. The office is very clean and modern is a convenient location in Milpitas.
