Services
Our Registered Dental Hygienists provide ongoing periodontal care and education with the goal of maintaining excellent periodontal health for each and every patient. They provide an individualized home care plan to fit each patient's particular needs and make recommendations for selecting home care products.
We have selected some of the most important topics and listed them in the categories to the left for your convenience. This information is for educational purposes only and should not be used for self-diagnosis or as a substitute for a professional dental exam and consultation (no matter how much you hate going to the dentist).
Commonly used today is bonded composite resin material, which gives the tooth a more natural appearance when used for fillings. This filling material is placed directly into the tooth and does not require a waiting period before chewing. The composite resin generally requires less removal of tooth structure for placement.
Our office is located in Parkview Square on the southwest corner of Madison Avenue and Fair Oaks Boulevard. Take the Hazel Avenue and turn right on to Hazel Avenue towards Fair Oaks. Turn left on to Madison Avenue. Turn left on to Fair Oaks Boulevard and make an immediate right in to Park View Square.
We accept all dental insurance plans which allows the insured to select their dentist. These are referred to as indemnity policies. We are able to submit claims to many Preferred Provider Organization Plans (PPO) though we may not be listed as a provider. Dental insurance is designed to help pay part of the cost of dental treatment.

10 STARS I can't say enough great things about this dental family. Marlene, Larry, and their entire staff have got to be one of the best if not the best dental practices that I have ever found. We've been patients with them for over 20 years, and I'd say they have extremely loyal patients. I guarantee if you don't like going to the dentist, you'… ll change your mind after experiencing an appointment with their professional and personable staff. My husband even falls asleep when he's being worked on, they are that gentle. I just completed extensive dental work with Marlene. Her work is definitely

I have had nothing but the best and most positive experiences at Masuoka's office. Great people that do amazing work. My family and I have been going here for 10 years and will never leave. A few remarkable people on their staff include: Kristin and Cynthia at the front desk, Sierra, Laci, & without a doubt Cherri.

We have been very satisfied with Dr. Larry Masuoka and his staff. Excellent services. The best part is that routine care is covered completely by my dental insurance (fair pricing) ........... I was previously going to another dentist that ALWAYS charged me extra for routine care even though it is the same dental insurance. I have since heard that my previous dentist has had some lawsuits brought against him.

God bless Dr. Masuoka, Cynthia, Karen and the rest of their crew here. Amazing people. Had one of those "oh no ... This is gotta get fixed NOW!!!" situations with my tooth yesterday - but I called and they were able to get me in right away! Happy to help, polite, and FAST, they really rocked it for me. And while it turned out I needed a root canal (which is was terrified of), it was nearly painless and over so fast I had to ask "is that it??" when they leaned me back up in the chair. Would definitely recommend these guys!

Ever since i was a child i HATED the dentist, i felt i had a phobia, and I tried everywhere possible from San Jose to even T.J. and never have i felt so comfortable and calm as i do now. Dr. Marleen is an amazing Dr. I have referred my family here and they all agree she is great. I'm 25 and had a horrible set of teeth because i could not stick to a dentist, she has transformed my teeth and my phobia is gone. Thank you Dr. Marleen.

Dr Marleen has taken great care of my family! My husband started coming here after having a unresolved tooth issue from our previous office. Dr Marleen took the time to work with him to diagnose and correct the problem. My kids love coming in for their cleanings. It's great to have a place the whole family can come to. Thanks Dr Marleen and Staff!

Initially I really enjoyed this office. Then I had a "routine" filling back in May.
Dr. Marleen did the original filling and said all was well and good, but I had to come back a week later for a bite adjustment because the filling was too high. Dr. Lawrence did the adjustment because Dr. Marleen was on vacation but I had to come back a week later because I was still having problems and my bite was still too high. Dr. Marleen finally fixed the bite, but I was still having pain when I tried to chew so I came BACK in for a 4th visit and Dr. Lawrence ended up having to remove the initial

This office is wonderful! I've been worked on by both doctors (Larry and Marlene) and have had a wonderful experience with both them and the rest of the staff. The technology is modern, then facilities are very clean and bright, and their disposition is friendly and sensitive. Even accounting! I would highly recommend the Dr.s Masuoka!

I won't repeat what others have said since it pretty much sums it up. I have been going to Dr. Lawrence and Dr. Marlene for around 20 years and I cannot imagine a more professional team. My son has been going since he was 3 years old and they made it very comfortable for him and he is not scared and really likes all the people there. You cannot go wrong with this office and I hope they stay in business as long as I have teeth!

My family and I have been coming to this dental office for over 15 years. Dr. Larry and his sister, Dr. Marlene, have been able to combine excellent quality dental services together with a top flight administrative staff.
The office staff is always consistent in calling several days before the appointment to remind and confirm and always have been accommodating to schedule changes. When arriving, I am always made to feel welcome and cannot remember waiting more than 5 minutes longer than my scheduled time if at all due to their efficiency in scheduling. The hygienists and other support staff
