My profession has allowed me to become more of a giver than I ever dreamt. It allows me to put a smile back on many people, to serve my community and mankind, and most importantly, to allow my kids the opportunity to become involved in the community and make a difference in other peoples lives.

My patients are the driving force that allows me to excel in my profession. Being able to provideexcellent dental care allows me to change another persons smile and life, but the trusting relationships and bonds that we form change my life as well. The friendships Ive created with my patients have made me a better person, and a better role model for my children.

A graduate of the University of Southern California School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, I now attend more than one hundred of hours of continuing education per year. It gives me a broad knowledge of new technology and techniques that will be beneficial to patients in terms of treatment planning, procedure time, recovery time, and overall practice efficiency. I have completed study in various disciplines, including dental implants, cosmetics, dental materials, pediatrics, root canal treatment with complications, ethics and law, practice management, and psychology.

I was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the United States when I was nine years old. I have been living in the San Gabriel Valley ever since. My wife Ivy and I have three young children Joshua, Oliver, and Abigail. Watching them grow up has been such a joy. When I have free time, I enjoy traveling, watching sports, and working out.

I am active in my community so I can teach my children the importance of donating time and effort to build a better place where we can all live together. I am passionate about making a difference in the community where I live and raise my kids. I am involved in the neighborhood watch, volunteer with the Kiwanis Club by providing free dental checkups, and participate in Dentistry From The Heart to provide free dental work for the community.

Providing the best orthodontic care to my patients allows me to build lifelong friendships, as well as smiles! My priority is to deliver exceptional, personalized service to my patients and their families. I want each child or adult we treat to enjoy the experience and receive the best possible results: a long-lasting, healthy smile of which he or she can be proud.

I began my formal dental education at the University of California School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, and graduated with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. In order to specialize in the field of orthodontics, I continued on to Saint Louis University for my Master of Science in orthodontics.

Continuing education is an important part of my commitment to my patients. I regularly participate in continuing education as a way to provide the most up-to-date treatment options and highest quality care.

My mom has been with Dr. Mao over 3 years and he's the only dentist my mom trusts and feels comfortable with in his decisions on all her teeth issues. The office is really organized and scheduling is perfect especially never had to wait for your turn when arrived on time. I really recommend him if you are looking for a new dentist.

Tami, Viola and Dr. Mao were great. Got me in quick for a cleaning! Very sweet and caring people. Follows covid protocol. Transparent about vaccinated staff. I had left this office a year ago due to some unvaccinated staff and my discomfort because of this. All are vaxxed now. So glad to be back and all concerns of mine are resolved. Teeth feel great n look white again! Thank you, Dr. Mao. I will continue to use your services!

I had a dental deep cleaning today and Dr Tai Mao was very very good and thorough. I had deep cleaning before at different dental offices but this is the first time I felt so good after the numbness was gone. The teeth are so clean ( I LOVE IT) and because Dr Mao only did one side first at this visit so I was able to eat right after I left the office. None of the other dental offices ever did that for me. In one of them, my whole mouth was numb and I can't speak so I had to sit there for about 2 hours until I can talk before driving home. Thank you very much, Dr Mao!

Great dentist and very friendly, warm staff! We now enjoy coming to the dentist (is that possible? Mostly :) ) we travel a little ways to get there but we feel it's 100% worth it. There's a waiting room couch even with snacks! Thank you Pinnacle Dental Care!

My daughter was in a bicycle accident and broke several teeth. A trusted dentist recommended Dr. Mao's office as it is open on Saturdays. They were able to see her right away and took great care of her. Three visits later, her teeth are back to pre-accident beauty. The staff is super; especially Dania, who explained all insurance and worked out the copays and financial part spot on. No surprises. Although it's a drive from LA, the easy parking, office staff and caring treatment is worth it. Thanks!!!

I would rate them a big TEN! Everyone there at this office are the BEST most CARING, HONEST staff that they make you feel like family. I have 4 children & I've been to diff dentists in the past until now I've finally met an office who truly cares about my family & I. They go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable from the moment you first come in till you leave. I've referred my whole family, friends and even coworkers now. No one really likes going to the dentist but once you try DR Tai you will be back for everything and refer others to this office. We get all our dental needs there including ortho as well. Awesome prices for braces compared to others BUT there professionalism and caring is worth more than anything else! Also they are involved with helping the community with having yearly fairs and also help out the schools my eldest attends with supplies and all!! Lastly I just got a job and the office took their time from their busy schedule to send me a congrats card with everyone in the staff writing comments and best wishes! WOW who does this??? No one but this awesome office! Thank you for all your kind words & I'm thankful and appreciate u all 1000% - c ya soon :)
