Perry G Lucero, DDS

Dr Lucero gives great service. I started coming to him about 4 years ago when my previous dentist started telling me I needed extensive dental work. Dr. Lucero examined me and said it wasn’t true and here I am 4 years later needing only regular cleanings. He is very friendly and so are all his staff. The dental hygienists are very good, thorough and friendly. And I never have to wait. You might find a cheaper dentist but if you want great quality all around and someone you can really trust, I recommend Dr. Lucero.

Dr. Lucero’s office is fabulous! Everyone here is professional and friendly. I’ve only been coming to Dr. Lucero for a short period of time but felt right at home there quickly. The staff is extremely nice and knowledgable. I appreciated that Dr. Lucero and his staff took the time to get to know me rather than rushing in checking my teeth then running out which I’ve experiences at other dental offices. JoAnn is an excellent hygienist and all of the other staff were great, as well. The location of the office is very convenient for me. I highly recommend Dr. Lucero.

My family and I have seen Dr. Lucero and his staff for over 22 years, and to say the least we adore them! Dr. Lucero has been there for us, and our 3 kids, no matter the emergency, time of day or procedure. He is a true professional and has made all our teeth and smiles beautiful (four out of five of us had braces with him)! There is no one else we would recommend for all our dental, orthodontic and cosmetic work! He, and his staff, go our of their way to make their patients truly comfortable and happy!

Man, oh man. where to begin? I think I need to take this from the top for you to fully understand my 5 star rating.
It started out as a perfect Sunday with the boyfriend, we had just finished brunch in Claremont and we were headed to run errands (exciting places like Cost Plus World Market and Lowe’s were on the agenda, feel me?). We were goofing around per usual — I was cracking jokes and he was not laughing — when out of nowhere I flinched.
When I say I flinched — picture the most spastic flinch you can. During said flinch I managed to smack myself in the mouth with my iPhone. LOL, right?
Well, sure it was all fun and games until I realized that I had just chipped off a very large portion of a bottom tooth… a very large portion.
I immediately went into panic mode. LIKE, WHAT THE HELL? How is that even possible with a cell phone? It’s Sunday afternoon, dentist offices are not open, unless you count creepy strip-​mall dentist offices and let’s be honest — there was no way in hell I was gonna risk that.
No I needed a really good dentist, one who could fix my face.
I knew I had to wait until Monday to get in somewhere, but left a message at my regular dentist to try to secure a spot. Monday morning rolled around and unfortunately, my regular dentist would not be able to see me until Thursday of that week. Yea, nope. I couldn’t live the next few days looking like a backwater hillbilly.
So I started searching for other possible alternatives in the area and found Dr. Lucero via Unilocal.The office was close, had a good rating, wasn’t in a strip-​mall — it fit the mold.
Even better, they were able to schedule me in early on Monday! Sweet relief! I was starting to get used to the lisp and whistle sound I would make when I talked.
Not only was their ability to see me in a pinch a big plus but upon my appointment — they were extremely professional and the entire experience took maybe 30 minutes (including the forms, X-​rays, etc…).
Dr. Lucero was super nice and made me feel really comfortable. I have been going to my family dentist for about 15 years and even though it was my first time at a new office — I felt like I had been there a million times before.
The rest of the staff was great too, really nice women.
All niceties aside, I was very worried that the cap would look fake or obvious — but my tooth looks amazing. I don’t know what they put on it and I don’t really care — it looks seamless with the real part of my tooth and doesn’t feel awkward. I could not have asked for a better job.
Until this ordeal — I never really appreciated what it means to have access to good dentistry. Having good teeth is definitely part of the currency of modern life. I could not face my clients with a chipped tooth and needed a good dentist that appreciated my need for expediency. That was Dr. Lucero.
My situation wasn’t really that bad or life threatening… but it was pretty ridiculous. Dr. Lucero and his staff deserve 5 stars for great work and for fitting me in… at the chip of a tooth. ;)

I have been going to Dr. Lucero my whole life and not once have I had a bad experience. Dr. Lucero is incredibly knowledgeable, and honest, both of which are difficult traits to find these days!!!
Dr. Lucero gets 5 stars for his friendly staff, timely appointments (never once in 20 years have I been seen late for an appointment!), and all around superior work.
I know I will want to bring my future family here.

About a year ago, I visited Dr. Lucero’s office and had to have a few fillings. I went to a new dentist this year since I had moved. The fillings Dr. Lucero had put in were soft, apparently because they hadn’t been cured properly. My new dentist had to drill and put in new fillings. This not only added to my bill, but probably caused more damage to my teeth.
Needless to say, I am so glad I found a new dentist! Also, my dental bills were much higher with Dr. Lucero than they are with my current dentist even though I have the same dental insurance, but to be honest I never bothered to ask for an explanation.
I’m leaving two stars because other than the issues with the fillings, my visits were pleasant.

After our family dentist passed away I was hard pressed to find a new dentist. I tried so many and wasn’t comfortable or happy with the half dozen I tried. Then I stumbled upon Dr. Lucero’s office in the beautiful downtown La Verne area.
Dr. Lucero is a nice, honest and experienced dentist. He has a great practice with a great team of people — the front office staff and hygienists are all very nice. They accept most insurance and Beverly will always call in advance to get pre-​authorization so that there are never any surprises.

After trying another dentist, I have a new appreciation for the work Dr. Lucero does. I never have to wait, and they always explain the process, I guess thats just what it costs.
