A+ Dental office! They know what they’re doing. They’re very caring. Not in a hurry. They spend quality time with you. Just Good people. I like Doctor M. He has a gentle touch. I don’t feel scared when I’m there. They go out of their way to explain everything. Laura and the girls upfront spend the time with you, To make sure you understand the treatment options and the payment plans. Thank you 😊

If there were 100 stars, I'd put a million stars. The front office and team are amazing. Honest, clean, kind, all around great people to be with. I needed a root canal, and they were the first I seen on Google. Didn't even bother with others. First visit and they will forever be with me. Getting that root canal wasn't as bad as I thought. Im humbled by their kindness Overall I am deeply humbled What an amazing visit I had. God always bless them and guide them.

Best dental cleaning experience! Everyone was super kind, on time, and didn’t try to sell you on every product like other dentists do. 10/10 recommend!

Came in because I had to go be best man at my brothers wedding and my front tooth was broken at the gumline the day before. They were able to get me in and got me all fixed up. Very kind and they did a good job. I'd recommend them again. Thanks!

My wife and I first came to Talega Dental Group two years ago. During that time, Dr Kishen Godhia and his staff have provided superior advice, and dental care for both of us. We are both senior citizens and have seen quite a few professional dental practices in Orange County over the years. Talega Dental Group deserves the highest recommendation in every aspect of service from front office friendliness to patient attention and accommodation, as well as being professional and knowledgeable in every aspect of dental care and advice. We are especially happy to visit them on a regular basis for their cleaning services, which are careful and thorough, and have greatly contributed to our dental health.

IF WE TREATED YOU WELL

Tell the next patient

Most people who call this office found it through someone else’s review. A few lines about your visit takes a minute and helps the next person decide.

If something was not right, call the office on (949) 998-4409 and speak to us directly. We would rather fix it than read about it.

A consultation at the practice
THE SAME FOUR THINGS

What patients mention most

Read enough of the reviews and the same points keep surfacing, whatever the treatment was.

01

Seen the same day

Broken teeth, lost crowns and wisdom-tooth pain are the reviews that come up most. In nearly every one, the office found room the same day or the next morning.
02

Nothing sold that is not needed

Patients repeatedly note that no products or extra treatments were pushed on them, and that costs and payment options were explained before anything began.
03

Comfort taken seriously

Cleanings described as painless, anesthetic barely felt, nerves settled before treatment. Comfort is the theme patients return to more than any other.
04

Families, not appointments

Cleanings, wisdom teeth and Invisalign for the same household, often over years, with people who remember which is which.
