Teresa K. Yang, DDS

Very thorough, professional and with a heart. She worked on my little 7 year old (as well as my wife and me) and he had a cavity as big as the Grand Canyon (so much for the honor system when brushing ones teeth). She had to give him novocaine, gas, long time in the chair… but he came out of it with flying colors and is not afraid of the dentist! Thank you Doc!

Dr. Yang is wonderful. She is very thorough and takes the time to talk with you. She has a great bedside manner and was great with my 4 year old son that I took to the dentist for the first time! He was very nervous about the dentist but left feeling excited. Would definitely recommend her!

I was referred to Dr. Yang after sharing an incident I had with another dentist. The last dentist ruined my crown to the point Dr. Yang said the crown wasn’t sized & placed correctly. Lucky for me Dr. Yang replaced my crown with a brand new one. Honestly, I got so lucky to have found Dr. Yang. And the staff here are so kind and welcoming!!!

Dr. Yang and her staff are among the most competent, caring professionals I’ve ever known. I used to be extremely frightened of dentists, but Dr. Yang’s kindness and skill helped me overcome that fear.
Dr. Yang always finds a way to work me into her schedule when I have a problem and solves that problem right away.
You really couldn’t find a better, more caring dentist than Dr. Yang.

Dr. Yang and her staff are so incredibly pleasant — I really enjoy coming here. Very professional, caring, clean and punctual. I’ve never waited for an appointment.

First of all I have the biggest dental phobia ever… I have panic attacks, i run out of the chair or if I HAD to have work I would be put under-​it was horrible. Well, year after year passed and I am now paying the price. I absolutely needed dental work done, and, at the recommendation of a friend I went to see Dr. Yang.
From the minute I was greeted by Malou at the front desk and helped by thethe kind and gentle dental hygienist and finally to the wonderful, amazing Dentist Dr. Yang I felt entirely safe and comfortable. I am totally honest when I tell you that I had not one bit of pain. Dr. Yang has a very calming affect, she spoke with me, explained every little detail, and checked in with me every few minutes. I had alot of work done and will have more in the future and no matter where I live will always make the trip to Dr Yang ’ s office. She is the best of the best and I cannot speak highly enough about her.
Moral of the story for all you dental phobs out there… don’t let your fear control you, make an appointment with Dr. Yang!

The fact that I live in Hollywood and insist on driving to Santa Monica for dentist appointments should tell you everything you need to know about Dr. Yang. Not only does she make getting my teeth cleaned an easy, quick and painless process, but she and Malou and the rest of the staff provide a personal touch that you don’t get anywhere else. When people tell me how much they hate going to the dentist, I always tell them to get a new dentist. You don’t know how easy it can be until you find the right one. And by right one, I mean Dr. Yang.

I have been going to Dr. Yang for years. Throughout this time, she has continued to impress me with her wonderful «chair-​side manner». Dr. Yang and her staff are professional, kind and patient. Despite the fact I am a difficult patient because of my apprehension about any and all procedures, they treat me with kindness and respect, for which I am very grateful. I would highly recommend her!

I’ve been going to Dr. Yang now for a year, based off of my friend’s recommendation. She’s friendly to talk to and provides great service. I’ve had a crown and three filling that my previous dentist did fixed by her and they look great! Two fillings were on my front teeth and I felt self conscious about them but Dr. Yang fixed them and I can’t even tell they’re there anymore.
Malou who works in the office is amazing too. She’s helped me figure out my new company’s dental insurance (which has been a nightmare) and has kept me apprised every step of the way so I know what I can expect.
I would recommend this dentist to all my friends and colleagues.

Knowing Dr. Yang for many years now, I can say she is a fantastic and knowledgable dentist, providing her patients with context and information that is helpful to understand. Not to mention, she never wants to take tests or waste money on unnecessary procedures. I can’t recommend her enough and feel completely confident when I need to go in for a cleaning.

Dr. Yang is the best! I used to hate going to the dentist but Dr. Yang and her amazing staff make it a pleasant, relaxing experience. I cannot recommend her enough!

I have been going to Dr. Yang for many years and she is the best dentist I have ever had. She is friendly and explains everything well. The work that I have gotten done has been excellent

A very honest and caring dentist with a nice clean office and a great staff — I have been seeing Dr. Yang since the mid 90s and my entire family absolutely love her! It is so hard to find a good dentist! Dr. Yang is the best!

Finding a dentist in a new town where you don’t know too many people is hard. I stumbled onto Dr. Yang on Unilocal and other websites and decided to give her a try. I feel super lucky given all the horror stories I’ve heard about other dentists — she’s been nothing but wonderful. Her receptionist Melu is super friendly and always reminds you when you have cleanings coming up. The hygienist is super nice as well, and of course Dr. Yang is great. She always talks to you and gives you time to answer while she’s cleaning, she makes sure you’re comfortable, and like the other review says — you can listen to music while she does a long job which is pretty sweet.
She not only does a great job but has great customer service — a while back one of my fillings ruptured and she fixed it for free within a day. She knew I was without insurance for a few months and she cut me a break. Now I have referred 6 – 8 of my coworkers to her, and I am happy to refer more. If you’re in the area and looking for a dentist, definitely check out Dr. Yang.

My whole family has seen Teresa for years and she is A+ excellent. Highly skilled technically, plus good, practical advice, personal attention, wonderful office staff, nice new office with free parking. Only downside is she doesn’t take Medicare dental, but it would be worth it to pay her fees out of pocket when one goes on Medicare. She does cleanings herself, pretty impressive.

I would highly recommend Dr. Yang to all patients. Her staff is great and makes you feel very comfortable, even for people nervous about going to the dentist like myself. I’ve gotten to know her staff, Malou and Karen, and they are great workers and always extremely nice.
I’ve had a few cavities filled, a couple teeth taken out, and had cleanings regularly ever since I started seeing Dr. Yang about 4 years ago. All the procedures were done without pain or discomfort. She checked up on me to see how I was doing because she knew I was a little bit nervous. Her manners are impeccable, and I can’t forget to mention how beautiful her office looks.
One of the things I love about Dr. Yang is that she let’s you bring your iPod and gives you headphones to listen to music while she does the procedures. That makes those noises that have shied me away from going to the dentist in the past much better. If I’m listening my music, those noises seem nearly non-​existent. Also, if you don’t have an iPod or CD player, she has a CD player in the office with all kinds of music for you to listen to. She’s got classic, country-​western, rock, oldies, new music, and more. I’m sure that any patient would find some kind of music that he or she likes to listen to.
Again, I would definitely recommend her to any patients of any age. She really cares about her patients, and she’s the first dentist I’ve gone to where she does all the cleanings instead of a dental hygienist.

I was referred to Dr. Yang by a friend when I moved to Santa Monica 6 years ago. I’ve been going to her ever since and she’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. It’s a small office with very personal service from her long time receptionist, Malou, to the dental hygienist. Dr Yang cleans your teeth herself (not the hygienist) and always explains any needed procedures in great detail. The best part is she tells you to bring your iPod and gives you headphones to listen to music when you’re in the chair. I’ve had a cap and fillings and have no complaints. Highly recommend.
