Amazing staff, friendly and welcoming. Dr. Zhang is very thorough with explaining my treatment plan and very conservative. I never felt like I was being "sold" things I didn't need. I didn't have to wait to be seen. I'm always asked if I need anything or have any questions before I make my next appointment so I understand what is happening. I'm very happy with my decision to come to this office. read more

doctor Larson and his staff are very considerate, professional, and patient. They made my grandchild and I feel that she was in great hands and she was. I recommend Doctor Larson to anyone who is considering having their teeth straightened with braces. He is a kind person who works in his patient's best interest. He wants the finished adjustment to look as good as possible. My grandchild is now confident in her smile and I am confident in his orthodontic professional ability. -Ray Alessi read more

I came in for an examination to see if I needed braces. From start to finish, the front desk help was super sweet and helpful, and Dr. Larson was very informative with the options of treatment. With a simple consultation I felt more confident going back to get my teeth worked on by Dr. Stephen Larson. I ended up getting "Invisalign" and they quickly made time to take the molds right then and there. Within a few days everything was ready and finished. Super sweet staff, and even more amazing work! Highly recommended. read more

See all

Today October 16th 2017, I got my braces off. I'll be 50 on Halloween the end of the month and I'm really excited that this is done. I mention my age because if you're putting off getting braces because you're older, just letting you know you're in good company. I've never had my bottom teeth get to be so straight in my life. Except of course back when I was a teenager...before my wisdom teeth came in like a wrecking ball made everything go out of whack. I'm going to see if I can upload the picture showing the difference. There was one tooth and particular in the middle that was so crooked, you might be able to make that out. Dr. Larson his staff are all very kind people and they are perfectionist. I'm very glad I went here. I'm going here tonight to pick up my retainer and I'll be wearing it for sure. read more

Love this place, nice and clean, always welcoming, thank you for making my smile nice again

I highly recommend Dr. Larson! Both of my siblings have gone to him in the past, and the results were excellent. I had to give it a go at the age of 27! #adultwithbraces His team is professional and detail orientated. From the front desk, Wilma to Lisa and the other helpers in the back assisting Dr. Larson! During Covid and up until now, this office had/has the procedures down to a tee. I never once felt uncomfortable during this time. The office is clean and updated. I'm also a huge fan of the text appointment reminders - so helpful! I am delighted with the results of my teeth! Thank you, Dr.Larson & Team, for making me love my smile again! read more

I was referred to Dr. Larson to replace a bonded permanent retainer with a broken wire. When he was removing the permanent retainer, he drilled through the enamel of two teeth and created pulp exposures. I experienced pain for weeks and had to spend several thousand dollars on restorative dentistry to repair the botched work. Would not recommend. read more

I cannot believe that it has been over 9 years since I walked into Dr. Larson's Office for the first time. During these years, two of my daughters have gotten their braces completed and we cannot be more happier with their now amazingly beautiful teeth! Everyone at the office is so wonderful and thoughtful, they always work hard to make appointments fit with our busy schedule. Myla the office manager is just delightful! When both my daughters had broken bracket/wire and needed emergency appointment, Dr. Larson would meet us during his day off! He and his staff truly cares about their patients and they don't take any short cuts! Today my 12yr old daughter is starting her treatment, yes because I won't go anywhere else for braces. If you are looking to get braces done, you should come here too, you won't be disappointed! read more

I just recently got my braces off and my results were amazing. I am so happy! To begin with I was a very difficult case with an over bight, and very crooked teeth. Dr. Larson provided a detailed treatment plan and what I could expect in term of my results. Wilma and the rest of the team are very friendly and personable. I actually look forward to my appointments and chit chatting with Dr. Larson. He is super nice and has a great sense of humor. Now that my braces are off I am wearing aligners as part of my treatment plan for minor adjustments. All I can say is Dr. Larson is a perfectionist with years of experience and I attribute my beautiful smile to his expertise. My results were beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Larson. read more

EDITED REVIEW: I'm updating this as I found out more personal issues as to what really happened that led me to give a 2-star review. My previous review stated that Dr. Larson didn't remove my baby teeth when I was with him at 10-14 years old. Failure to remove them at a young age wouldn't let adult teeth grow; eventually the baby teeth would fall out, having no root beneath them for support. This implies that now I have to get dental implants, which costs a lot, as opposed to removing the baby teeth early for the adult teeth to grow. I had to see other dentists/surgeons for my wisdom teeth, who also pointed out the issues with my baby teeth whenever they took my x-rays. They all wondered why my orthodontist (Dr. Larson) never did anything about the baby teeth I had, which upset me and led me to believe he was irresponsible. Dr. Larson indeed let my parents know about my wisdom and baby teeth. I very recently found a referral slip to me for a visit with an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, given to my parents, with the notations for such teeth. My parents didn't inform me about the slip nor take me to visit that doctor. I now shift the lack of responsibility to my parents. Looking back on this review, I was furious with Dr. Larson's apparent carelessness. Not to mention, I was irritated with being passed around from one doctor to another, charging me hundreds of dollars worth of consultation visits, and doing nothing (until one excellent surgeon did everything within 2-3 weeks). Thus, I had a lot of negative emotions when writing the review. I'd like to be very clear: Dr. Larson and his team were great. Evidently from the slip, Dr. Larson was not irresponsible. I was deeply mistaken and shouldn't have been too harsh on this review. I apologize sincerely to Dr. Larson and his team. My parents didn't take this issue as seriously as they should've. While they might've been better informed on the importance of handling this earlier than sooner, I can't blame Dr. Larson. I'll be glad to recommend him to anyone for his help. read more

Dr. Larson was responsible for creating beautiful smiles for my sisters and me. I've had my braces off for years and I remember how smoothly it went from having crooked teeth to beautiful straight teeth. Dr. Larson is a perfectionist and would not remove my braces until it met his expectations. I recently came back to have the cement on my permanent retainer fixed and it was done right away. I definitely recommend Dr. Larson for anyone who needs braces for themselves or their kids. You will definitely feel taken care of by his friendly staff and feel comfortable at their clean and beautiful aquarium themed office. read more

The best in Northern California. Dr. Larson explains everything to you and works beautifully with our son. He is honest and humble. His staff are as good as he is :) Very happy with everything this team does! Gives you many options and very clear about costs. Choose him before you go anywhere else I am so grateful for Noah's Orthodontist ~ he broke his braces one day while at school and instead of waiting for the next appointment, they repaired them quickly and at the last moment ! Great team over there at: Larson Orthodontist Thanks again Myla for working us in today :) Your waiting area is so peaceful, calm and beautiful. read more

I had braces from 1995-1999. My bottom braces were on for 4 years and my top were on for 3 years. Yes, my teeth were straight after the first year having braces, although my treatment was to have them on longer. (Im sure for good reasons) It has been almost 15 years since my braces came off... my smile is as amazing as it was in 1999 when the braces came off! I do have a built in bottom retainer, which is still awesome to this day! I was given a retainer for my top teeth that looks like the invisiline, but I swapped it for an old school metal one. I found the metal one easier to keep in my mouth. I wore my top retainer off and on for 6 months, and then I just went on with life without it. My teeth haven't moved. I get compliments on my smile all the time. Dentists are astonished and compliment me too! I couldn't be happier with my results. My before and after pic was up on the wall in the lobby for a while too! Maybe there is room for a 15 year later pic? ;) I would definitely recommend Dr. Larson! He is professional and he makes me smile!!!!Thank you Dr. Larson!! read more

Dr. Larson is the best. We currently go to him for both my son's (11) and my (45) braces and we couldn't be happier. Very thorough, gentle, and effective. The staff is great too, especially Jose, Myla, and Norma. read more

Dr. Larson and his staff are awesome, especially Myla and Jose! I couldn't be happier with my son's orthodontic experience. Everyone at Dr. Larson's office is genuinely friendly and pleasant. Also, I was always able to make an appointment when I needed to and I felt like my son was definitely a priority to the doctor and his assistants. Here are some of my favorite things: 1. The waiting room is warm and cozy, with complimentary bottles of water. 2. We've only had to wait 5 minutes tops to see Dr. Larson for an appointment in the past two years. 3. There are flat screens and high tech equipment all over her office. 4. My son won a gift card to Best Buy for being 'patient of the month'! Great incentive for kids to stick with the program, ie. not eating sticky foods, wearing your head gear/rubberbands and brushing thoroughly. Dr. Larson and his staff went above and beyond to make sure my son was physically comfortable as well as satisfied with his treatment. He listened to my feedback and always thoroughly explained what he was doing at each adjustment. And of course, my son's teeth look great now post-braces! I have already recommended Dr. Larson to others and I will continue to do so in the future. read more

My three children have been Dr. Larson's patient for couple of years now. He is an excellent doctor and always have a smile on his face. He is always been caring, thoughtful, and always put my children at ease during their regular visits. I have been very satisfied on all the treatment that he did, and still doing for my kids, and would highly recommend him. I also give the staff a five star because of all the friendliness and the kindness they show to their patients. read more

Best dental office ever! Marine life theme and a marine aquarium make this office a joy to be in. The staff is also so nice and welcoming. If you need a great dentist and orthodontist in the South Bay this is a great place to go. read more

Dr Larson is my best and favorite doctor ever :) as well as his staff. Two years ago I have decided to straighten my teeth. I visited a few other doctors who got me scared telling me how they would pull out my molars, but when I met Dr Larson he was honest and nice with me. He promised me he won't remove any teeth out of my mouth and he will make my smile look stunning. Here we are, close to the end my orthodontic treatment and I have fantastic results. My teeth are already straight, the overbite is fixed and now he wants to do minor aesthetic corrections to make them perfect :)))) Believe it or not, nothing is better than a straight and clean smile. Can't wait to get done with the treatment and be proud of my smile. I'm confident I will not be embarrassed to smile in pictures anymore. I recommend Dr Larson to everyone, kids and adults. He is a professional, does excellent work, has a great sense of humor, and he keeps his promises. He can give you the smile of your dreams. read more

Great place . I was referred here by my general dentist to start treatment and i was impressed on how professional the office was. Very clean, beautifully decorated, and modern. The entire staff was wonderful- they offered you water,etc. Myla , the treatment coordinator , was incredibly helpful as she explained what exactly would be happening. The doctor was also very nice and helpful. I did feel as though he was a bit rushed, which is understandable given she had many patients outside(because this office is that good!) They even sent a personalized note in the mail to me after my initial consultation. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Larson treated my two boys and I couldn't be happier. It surpassed my expectations. The office is beautiful and the staff is very professional and accommodating. Myla is the official front person for handling all activities in the office and she's wonderful to deal with. My sons have beautiful teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Larson. read more

Dr. Larson is a GREAT Orthodontist!!! I went to him in the 90's and he gave me the most BEAUTIFUL smile ever. I was bad with my lower retainer and had to have MANY replacements, and eventually stopped wearing them. YEARS later I found my bottom retainer and brought it to Dr. Larson and he fixed it for me and they started to straighten again. But of course I LOST it again and decided to get my bottom braces again. I got the clear braces and no one even noticed that I had braces . A short 6 months later my bottom teeth are straight and now match my top teeth which are STILL straight 21yrs later. I would highly recommend Dr. Larson not only is he a great Orthodontist but he has an AMAZING staff. read more

Both of my siblings have been going here for about 2 years now and when I lost my retainer, they squeezed me in for a super last minute appointment and was even able to get me my retainer a few days later (I don't live anywhere near here and was in town for a short amount of time and they were able to expedite everything for me). Myla works at the front and tries to accommodate everyone's schedule and is the sweetest. Dr. Larson is amazing, sweet, and excellent at his profession. I was in and out in a short amount of time! The whole team makes you feel so welcome making a visit to the orthodontist delightful. read more

My daughter and son are both patients of his. Dr. Larson is experienced and professional and honest. My daughter had her braces off more than 5 years ago and when the metal wire holding the lower teeth came unglued, allowing the teeth to move, they fixed it without question with Invisalign. My son is undergoing Phase 1 treatment and the front teeth look beautiful. However, since he's a perfectionist, Dr. Larson removed the braces as promised but is using Invisalign to get one tooth exactly where he wants it to go. He won't compromise the end results and would never tell you what you want to hear just to get your business. The office staff is friendly and helpful, giving personalized attention every time we visit. I was referred by a friend of mine and since then all those I've referred have been satisfied by the end result. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Larson for anyone looking for an orthodontist in the Bay Area. I was referred by my general dentist for new retainers, and was not disappointed. His staff is very welcoming and enthusiastic to be of service (I interacted mostly with Myla and she was wonderful). The environment is very clean and professional; they even offer a mini fridge of water for patients in the waiting room. Not to mention, my retainers were ready for pick up less than a week after my consultation and the staff was very flexible with my work schedule on when I could come pick them up. Thanks Larson crew! read more

Dr Larson and team is the real deal. I was referred to him 20 years ago and have been a happy customer since. Dr Larson is funny, caring and excellent at his profession. He has assembled an excellent support team! They anticipate needs and provide great service. If you or your child needs ortbodontics, Dr Larson is your dentist. read more

Dr. Larson's personalized care sets his practice apart from all others in the Bay Area. At my initial consultation, I had my teeth imaged and Dr. Larson explained in extreme detail the different methods of treatment and recommended a course of treatment that would give me the quickest and longest lasting results. You're not merely a client when you are treated by Dr. Larson. You'll feel like a long time friend and will be greeted by name whenever you step into the office.There are TVs that play movies while you're being treated so you won't have to look at a plain white ceiling the entire time. Dr. Larson offers a variety of payment options and has very flexible scheduling. Bonus: plenty of free parking and complimentary bottles of water. read more

Dr. Larson was highly recommend by a friend whose 3 kids are being treated by him. Dr. Larson and his staff are highly professional and caring. The facility is clean and fun for children. Even though he has lots of patients, we are seen on time without a long wait. They made our visit a pleasant experience and I would HIGHLY recommend him for orthodontic treatments. read more

I want to give thanks to Dr. Larson and his team for making my experience with them an amazing one. Im always greeted with smiles by the whole staff. It's a really great place to get work done. I have had a bunch of friend that have come to this office and they all have had this great experience. read more

I'm very happy with Dr. Larson. He is very gentle and perfectionist! Am now confident with my smile! i highly recommend Dr. Larson to anyone needing orthodontic treatment. read more

Dr Larson and his staff are awesome! From front desk to back office they're all amazing! Mila and Wilma are both extremely helpful with squeezing me in or explaining how my insurance works. They are very sweet and I love seeing their beautiful smiles as the first thing when I walk in the door. Lisa in the back is an AMAZING RDA, she always makes sure I don't leave with out being 100% satisfied with how my wires feel. She is really heaven sent! Especially coming from a person who is as picky as me! Dr. Larson is one of the most honest genuine orthodontist I have came in contact with. He never rushes me or my treatment. If something is broken he makes sure to get it fixed right away. He doesn't half fast anything or make me feel like I am just a number! This office truly makes me feel like family and I am sure glad I found them! read more

BEWARE!!! Do not believe the hype on the reviews. I did and I have been regretting it for several years now. Not only does his staff not do whatever they can to get you in if something breaks, which it always does....??? But if you need to reschedule your appointment they want to put you out another 3-4 weeks? That is NOT ok!!! He is currently working on my daughter which is very obvious that he does not care about her at all. I don't care what he thinks of me but my daughter should matter. Her teeth look horrible (they are leaning inside her mouth instead of coming straight down) which is now causing a lisp that she never had before. Keep in mind she has been in treatment since the summer of 2011, its now the summer of 2013. She should be done!! Another thing that happened here which needs to be told because I want people to be warned, I do not want anyone to have to go through what I did with this man. I am an adult and wanted to get my teeth looked at and possibly straightened if able. Figured it was worth a shot looking into since I have insurance that would cover it. He advises that I get a retainer and promises he can move the few teeth around that needed to. After 4 months of treatment, nothing was really happening so I scheduled a meeting to talk to him about it since now they wanted to charge me $68 every time I came in for an adjustment. I only had 4 of them and nothing was working, why would I have to start paying till things were moved appropriately? So we meet and he looks at my teeth and basically tells me there is nothing he can do and seemed upset saying it and said he would give me my money back and stormed out of the room!? He didn't have to do all that, he could have just finished the treatment or at least a couple more adjustments. There was no need to just drop the ball on me. Now I have a retainer that I have to wear every night because if I don't my teeth will move since we already started treating them and loosening them up and moving them around. Its a nightmare!!! Needless to say I don't even want to deal with him because he is a short tempered man. Please also note that he doesn't do any work on his patients - he has his assistants do it. Probably why things are always breaking and falling off my daughters braces for the last 3 years! Every single month! Also PLEASE read your contract, they will be sneaky and make you believe things are a certain way which they are not. Time will come and they will all of a sudden start charging you for things, even an extra year of treatment! :-O I am fed up with this office! BEWARE!!!!!!! read more

We just started coming to Dr. Larson through referral from friends. We can clearly see that he is professional, friendly and appears to be quite talented / experienced. His staff in addition especially Myla, come across as very patient, helpful and professional. Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated! read more

Fantastic! Absolutely impressed by the professionalism of the staff and Dr Larson. The facility is a perfect blend for children and adults with modern technology, effective layout of the facility, and good prices. I really enjoyed seeing the large LCD TV with multiple pictures of Dr Larson with patients he helped out. I am a military man, so United Concordia paid for half of my bottom retainer which cost $750ish. I received my retainer within a few days and the ladies at the front counter were sweet in the process which was quick. I look forward to working with this office in the future and HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR LARSON and his staff. Goodluck!! read more

I was searching for an orthodontist for my daughter and found Dr. Larson through reviews online. During the initial visit, the office staff explained the treatment and expectations. I am so happy with the result after the treatment and can't believe how beautiful my daughter's teeth are! She loves to smile now compared to before the treatment. Now my 10 year old daughter is getting her braces. Her teeth were very crooked and looked horrible. After just a couple weeks of treatment her teeth were becoming straight. Now after only a few months, her teeth are almost perfectly straight. I didn't think it would be possible to make her teeth look so good, but I can see they look fantastic and will be perfect when treatment is completed. Dr. Larson is very good with kids, confident, gentle and perfectionist! And the staff are all nice and friendly and make you feel very welcome. I highly recommend Dr. Larson to anyone needing Orthodontic treatment. He is one of the best. read more

Very happy with his service! His staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. My son had his braces in for two years and his teeth look amazing! I drove a distance to bring my son here. I have many friends who have used & recommended his services. Plus- Affordable with payment plan! :)) Thank you Dr. Larson & crew!! :) read more

I had a very positive experience with Dr Larson and his entire staff - Nicole, Wilma, Myla. All the way from the first meeting till treatment completion months later. Dr. Larson really listened to my situation (a bit complicated) and worked with me closely over months on a reasonable plan for bite adjustment and nightguard. He is very patient, meticulate and has great bedside manners. I am so glad I went to him. His staff not only accommodated my schedule, also went above and beyond to make sure the billing goes smoothly. All of it with a smile. I always felt comfortable and welcome, never rushed, given sufficient time. Two thumbs up! read more

The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It is the only dentist place I enjoy going to and will be sad I can't after my braces are removed. read more

My experience with Dr. Larson's office was amazing, everyone there made me feel like I was a part of the family! Not only did I look forward to all my appointments, he also completely fixed my smile. read more

Three for Three... Both our children have absolutely beautiful smiles thanks to the wonderful work done by Dr. Larson. I think of him as a teeth strategist - carefully architecting and executing a treatment plan designed to deliver the perfect smile. We had two challenging cases for him and have stellar results. It is clear that he loves what he does and takes a lot of pride in his work. He also has an incredibly gentle touch when working inside your mouth. The team is very customer focused. The office is flexible in working with your financial needs and timing. Dr Larson will also treat adults; I had several years of treatment to make a major adjustment to my bite and straighten my teeth. When I had an issue, I called his cell phone and he came in to treat me even though the office was closed. I could not have made a better decision for myself or the children. read more

Take a look at my profile picture, Dr Larson is primarily responsible for that smile on my face. If that picture does not convince you, contact me and I will show you the pre-treatment picture. read more
