Dr. Gulay Anwar, DDS
Dr. Gulay Anwar joined Ling Zhu DDS Dental with a straightforward goal: helping patients feel at ease in the chair and leave with a smile they actually want to show. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from California State University, Northridge and her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry.
Her clinical focus spans aesthetic and restorative dentistry, Invisalign, implant restorations, and preventive care. She takes the time to explain every option in plain language, then builds a treatment plan around what each patient wants for their own smile rather than a one-size-fits-all list of procedures.
Patients describe her as calm, thorough, and easy to talk to. Whether a visit is a routine cleaning or a smile-changing restoration, her priorities stay the same: healthy teeth, natural-looking results, and an appointment that never feels rushed.
