Dr. Terence Lau graduated from the USC School of Dentistry in 1987 and went on to obtain advanced training in Periodontal Prosthodontics from the University of Washington School of Dentistry where he was personally mentored by Drs. Ralph Youdelis, John Kois, and Frank Spear. It was during his tenure at the U of W that he obtained his first surgical experiences in Dental Implant Surgery under the direct supervision of both P.I. Branemark and Gerald Nisnick (in the same week!).
In his advanced continuing education, Dr. Lau has obtained multiple advanced training in all phases of surgical and restorative implant dentistry, occlusion, implant assisted orthodontics, regenerative periodontics, and laser dentistry. For the last 20 years, Dr. Lau has emphasized his clinical and educational focus on minimally invasive Bio-Aesthetic Implant Surgery, soft and hard tissue reconstruction and regeneration, orthodontic implantology, and laser dentistry.
Dr. Terence Lau has founded Bio-Aesthetic Implant and Laser Solutions with the goal of providing education in the field of Dental Implantology and Laser Dentistry. He has lectured nationally on a variety of topics including: Simplified Dental Implant Surgery for the General Dentist, The Placement of Short Dental Implants in Severely Resorbed Alveolar Ridges, and Incorporating Lasers in Implant Dentistry.
In his free time, Dr. Lau conducts a full-time, full-service general, implant, laser, and orthodontic dental practice in Northridge, CA, with his brother, Dr. Casey Lau, a graduate of UCLA Dental School.
Dr. Casey Lau earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from UCLA in 2002, following the completion of his undergraduate studies. That same year, he began practicing dentistry in the Northridge area, building a valuable reputation with our patients over the years. He strives to make each patient feel at home when they come to us for treatment, and he work hard to give his patients the attention they deserve. He attends several CE courses each year to stay current on the latest technology and dental treatments, and has received advanced training in implant dentistry, orthodontics, Invisalign, and oral sedation.
Dr. Lau is truly blessed to live and work in such a wonderful community. He enjoys getting to know his patients and their families, and it is always such an honor to know that he has made a difference in so many of many of his patients lives. He couldnt ask for a better job or for a better group of people to be sharing their smiles with him. Dr. Lau and his wife, Belinda, have two sons, Brayden and Ryan. In addition to dentistry, his passions include martial arts, and snowboarding. He is an avid sports fan, and enjoys cheering on UCLAs football and basketball teams, the Hockey Kings, and the Lakers.
Dr. Kayla received her bachelors degree in dental hygiene at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC. She continued her education at USC and graduated summa cum laude with her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree- all while working as a hygienist at some of the most premier dental offices in the area.
Additionally, she has spent many hours in volunteer work providing dental hygiene, dental work, and oral cancer screenings for the underserved communities in Southern California. For Dr. Kayla, connecting with her patients on a personal level is important, and she strives to bring comfort to every patient she meets.
We are so excited to have her passion for esthetic dentistry and relieving orofacial pain on our team! She pays close attention to facial balancing and does so by using a combination of dental restorations, Invisalign, as well as dermal fillers. Additionally, she provides orofacial pain relief, including that caused by temporomandibular (TMJ) dysfunction by using neurotoxins (i.e Botox).

The whole team at Mid Valley is amazing! I've had bonding done on my front two teeth with my previous dentist that was necessary because of an accident. The day before New Year's Eve, one of the bondings fell right off. I was so embarrassed and worried that I'd have this big chip in my tooth for New Years. Dr. Kayla made it a point to see me ASAP even though her schedule was booked. She made me feel comfortable and fixed the chip so beautifully! She has a really good aesthetic eye and matched the color even better than my previous bonding. She made sure I loved the shape and color before letting me leave. I really appreciated that. She informed me that because the chip is on the larger side, I may need to get veneers in the future if they continue to break off. My previous dentist told me this as well, so it was nice to hear it from a second opinion. The idea of veneers sounded scary and I told her I was worried about them looking fake. She assured me she would never do work that looks too "Hollywood" or fake and that she prefers a natural look. She showed me some before and afters and it made me a lot more comfortable with the idea of it ever comes to that. If I ever do need veneers, I'm definitely going to her!

I've been coming to Mid-Valley dental since I was a little kid and i refuse to go anywhere else. The staff is amazing, very warm and inviting. The hygienists know there stuff and know how to comfortably clean your teeth and make sure you're comfortable. Lastly, the dentists do wonders and know there stuff. Their newest addition, Dr. Kayla Lau, is amazing! Shes so gentle, always makes sure everything is ok, quick and efficient, and wont let you leave until you are 100% satisfied. She really completes Mid Valley dental. I can't wait to take my next tooth ache to them!

Dr. Casey is hands down the best dentist I've ever been to! He's very skilled and always up to speed on the latest knowledge, techniques, and technology. Plus, he's super personable and friendly. The office staff and hygienists at Mid-Valley Dental Care are also all top-notch. I've been seeing Dr. Casey for over 12 years, and now my kids go to him too. If you're looking for the best dental care that's hassle-free and a great experience, this is the place.

Dr. Casey Lau and Dr. Terence Lau have been my dentists for over 20 years, I think. They are always professional and friendly as well as their entire staff. They use the most advanced techniques and equipment, so I always feel confident in their assessments and care. I'm located well over an hour away from them but it's well worth the trip.

I have been going there for about six years and have had great service. They always try to explain why things are happening and look for ways that will help in the long term for a better quality of life. I've had a root canal done very well without experiencing after pain. They have fixed my permanent retainer after I broke it while eating. I have seen all the dentists - they are all very nice and knowledgeable.

I have lots of work performed by Dr. Lau from years ago. He was professional and competent. Several years of living overseas proved the quality of his work when other dentists commented positively. Thank you for years of professional service.
