“The entire staff did a wonderful job. I had a full cleaning, xrays, and a bonding put
on a chipped front tooth which I'm extremely happy with. I can't tell at all where the
chip used to be and my teeth feel perfectly clean. Not only did they all do a fantastic
job, but they were also just very enjoyable to be around. I'll be back with my
daughter in two days! We are both excited to be new patients. Thank you, Talega
Dental Group.

Talega Dental Group is the best. The staff is warm and friendly, and the dentists are very professional. Normally, I hate going to the dentist, but I had such a great experience here. I would recommend Talega Dental Group to anyone looking for a dentist.

I lost my front tooth at lunch Friday at 12:00pm. The tooth was fractured from an old injury. My dentist does not work on Friday. I called Talega Dental Group they took me right in. The Doctor was phenomenal! He explained what my chooses were and we selected the one I wanted. Three hours later I walked out of his office with my original smile. The Dr. explained each step there was no pain and he and his staff did a tremendous job! 5 stars from me.

My experience with Talega Dental group was wonderful. From the phone call to my dental treatment. They worked me in the same day and stayed late for me to finish some much needed treatment. Everyone there is exceptional!

My first time back to the dentist after a bit was scary at first, but once I started my appointment and chatting with the staff, I was instantly at ease. Everyone is fantastic, kind, and so thorough. I definitely recommend Talega Dental Group for ANY dental needs. All my concerns were addressed and solutions were created in my appointment that were best for my health and lifestyle. Dont even bother looking anywhere else!

Dr. Ben did my root canal in less than an hour and it did not hurt! I have a phobia of dentists since I was 5 years old due to some traumatic experiences but Dr. Ben was gentle and reassuring. He offered to tell me details of what he was doing but I declined because I think it makes me more scared to know. Anyway the whole staff is a team of angels. Thank you

I was contacted to quickly and had a very good cleaning. The problems were pointed out and solutions including medications administered right away. I appreciate that because I felt I was out on a good track. The staff were very friendly and discussed insurance plans and the changes with the new plan. It was a great visit and quick!

I'm very satisfied. I've been coming here 14 years and the new dentist came in Dr. Meshkinfam. He is a great & gentle dentist. I'm glad I didn't have to change dental office. I'm happy here I Think I will be coming another four teen years. HA!HA!

Good. No complaints

Providers admin staff switched me to a different (out of network) provider during my introductory appointment without my consent and lied to my face about my insurance coverage and proceeded to bill me as 'no insurance' because of the switch in providers.
This would have continued on for multiple appointments had I not gone back and review my own insurance docs and brought it to their attention. After making them aware of the issues, they offered a credit towards other services, and after I declined that they have proceeded to ignore my calls and emails for 5 days. Currently filing complaints with my insurance carrier and the DMHC.
