We do not write these and we do not edit them. Reviews that named a dentist no longer at the practice have been left off, so every one below reflects the team treating patients today.

I felt that they were really concerned and taking good care of me as I get very nervous in the dental chair.

I highly recommend Talega Dental Group in San Clemente. The entire team is so welcoming, friendly, and professional. Dr Atausa and Dr Rouhani are amazing. Super gentle and make you feel comfortable and right at home. Everyone is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about their patients. Definitely one of the best dental offices!

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) 482-1388 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.
