I have been going to this location for at least a year. It a a nice, clean, professional atmosphere. The staff have been nothing but professional, friendly, and helpful with all of my dental related issues. Whenever I have questions or need clarification on my dental health, they are always there to address my concerns. read more

If i could give this office 0 stars i would. The people who answer the phone are absolutely RUDE and answer as if anything you ask them, they don't have time for you and your bothering them. No wonder, a friend of mine and other patients are going to another office!! DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

Dr. Talmood and her staff are very professional and they care about your experience. They check with you about how you are doing every step of any procedure. I always feel very calm and relaxed here. The hygienists, Jean and Kim, are exceptional. I have had the best experiences with them. read more

Got my teeth cleaned and fill ins replaced within a week. Didn't have to wait too far apart. Kind of pricey and be ready to wait for a little bit, but Dr is super sweet, staff is really nice. Office is really clean and pretty. Have to write review again. After they did one side of my mouth I was called after to see how I was doing. After full procedure I never got a call to see how I'm doing. read more

I have absolutely loved going to Dr Talmood office, She is the Best, I've never had such a great relationship. Walking in the office I immediately felt welcome, everyone has treated me with upmost respect. I love everyone in the office. Dr Talmood work is amazing, I had a lot of work done and I am very grateful and happy with her work. I honestly am a little sad that I won't be seeing them cuz I am done. I will miss them. God Bless to everyone in the office and thank you guys from the bottom of my heart read more

I've been going to Dr. Talmood's office for about two years now and her practice is amazing! The staff, hygienists, and Dr. Talmood are all so kind and always make an above-and-beyond effort to talk to me and make me feel comfortable. The hygienists remember personal details about my life between appointments and it makes me feel like a valued patient! Treatments always feel reasonable and they take the time to explain them to me, give me options, and respect my wishes and financial restrictions. There are several times when I have waited over an hour from my appointment time until they started (I would rate 4.5 if Yelp would let me). I've learned to schedule appointments with a longer time frame in mind now, though, and don't mind it as much anymore. That being said, the care I receive here has been reliable, friendly, and professional, and I still commute to Fullerton for my dentistry even though I live 45 mins away because I love the office and the people. read more

First impression: office is very clean and spacious. X-ray and CT machines are super fancy and produce immediate results. Staff: very friendly and professional. I love that they ask permission prior to doing a procedure. Her dental hygienist is the best!! Very thorough and gentle. Dr. Talmood takes her time to explain what her findings are and offer alternatives as well as possible outcomes for each alternative. She has very light hands as well!!! I found my forever dentist read more

Dr. Talmood is by far the most talented dentist I've ever been too.....she has gone to great lengths to save several of my teeth,and did an amazing job. She's also GREAT with kids & the staff is sooo nice! read more

Updating my review because the billing mishap was fixed. Turns out my insurance messed up, not the office. I'm glad everything was taken care of. read more

I had a great first experience with Dr Talmood and her staff. Everyone was very friendly, professional and nice. Great intake and follow through with Brittney and Christina at the front office. Alfonso the imaging specialist was great at his job. I had a difficult extraction by Dr Talmood that another dentist's office was unable to do. She made sure I was properly numbed (yay!) and proceeded gently and patiently. I will be going back to them for a full LANAP treatment next. The office is extremely clean, open and uses very modern tech throughout. All in all an excellent experience. read more

Charged me for a deep cleaning when came in for a regular cleaning. I literally came up to my appointment and said I was here for my REGULAR cleaning and discussed with the doctor that, that was all I wanted before said appointment. SUGGESTION:The receptionist should always check with the patient about What they came in for (the day of) and What the pay or co-pay would be BEFORE the appointment. This eliminates the communication issues. If she cannot know What the copay will be until after the procedure fine, at least just make sure you're doing The procedure that the customer came in for, nothing more! I guarantee you no one is interested in paying an extra 1000 that day for whatever it is you made up to do for them. And it's not like she didn't have time to check in with me, I was waiting for almost an hour after my actual appointment time...that's probably why they're always behind on timing, because they're always coming up with extra procedures to do on patients for $$$ read more

Awesome and professional staff, very funny too. But I was overall impressed with their restroom so immaculate and clean. 10/10 would use the restroom again. read more

I originally came here as an emergency for an infection, and found the best best practice I have been to by far. The staff and the doctor listen to you, they help you, they don't try to make you spend more than you have to, and they do their best to make it pain-free. They even complimented me on my Magikarp hat! If you're scared of the dentist or have had a bad experience, this is the place for you. read more

I came in to get my fillings retouched, and a routine cleaning for my teeth. Heres the good part. Everyone is very nice. They talk to you, and during your long wait, they definitely are nice. Especially Anna. Which makes the rest of this review much harder for me. When I arrived, I was talked into a Deep Cleaning which was not covered completely by my insurance. They opted to charge me per quadrant, and also used some procedures that were charged, but not explained. Some of these were "Medicine" that cost $100 per quadrant, and "irrigation" which was not covered under my insurance. So after coming in for a routine cleaning (which my insurance covers) I was charged almost $1000 for the service. They also charged my insurance the price for a FULL filling instead of a retouch for an old one. my procedure was spread out over three visits, each visit lasting 2+ hours, and most of it was waiting for the dentist or hygienist to finish with other patients. I understand that this is America, and we are built on business. However, I would recommend going to a place that is going to work ethically, and not in it for your money. read more

Hands down the best dental office I have gone to. Dr. Talmood has put me at ease when visiting. She is so thorough, not pushy like other dentist and just really kind. Her entire office is really supportive and very nice as well, I finally found my forever dentist! read more

While the staff at this office is very friendly and attentive, there seems to be a lack of communication. During my first visit I was overcharged $90 and had to call in to get my money refunded then have the correct price charged on to my card. During my second visit I was told that I was caught up on payments and did not have to pay for the filling I was getting done. Turned out that I did have to pay for the filling which I wasn't expecting. Although the doctor here did great work I don't think I will be visiting again once my insurance renews in January. read more

They are nice in terms of bedside manners BUT Unprofessional：working on several client at the same time. An hour appointment can took me the whole afternoon. Ripoff+Unnecessary procedures： second opinion with another dentist suggested that the procedure was unnecessary. A more preventive procedure would be fine. Harassment when not complying：kept calling me after the appointment to do more procedures. I told them it was too expensive and that I could not afford to do a crown at this time. For six months，they called me almost every twice a week to go back. They are unbelievablely persistent with trying to rip me off. Personally I had the worst dental experience ever. Will never go back to that office. read more

This place should be shut down. First off the paperwork you have to fill out is more than I've filled out to buy a car. Then they put you in a chair that looks like a beauty salon reject and they take your X-Rays right in the middle of the office, no protection for anyone walking by or sitting in one of the dental chairs 2 feet in front of you. The X-Ray machine looks like its from the 1960's. read more

Thank you Dr. Talmood and the whole staff their. The office was very clean and the staff was super friendly. Very informative and I would 10/10 recommend. read more

First of all, when you walk into the office, take a deep breath and relax; enjoy the beautifully design! Yesterday, I had my cleaning. My hygienist was the best ever and this is over 40 years of cleanings! They really do a lot to help you understand your hygiene routine, really take the time and I really appreciate that. I have seen Dr. Talmood in the past; she is so competent, that it helps you relax. For me a good experience in the dentist's office is all about TRUST and I really feel trusting of this office. read more

Dr. Talmood is sweet, caring, smart, and a great dentist. I was nothing but pleased with her when she examined my teeth. Her office staff are a terrible hindrance to her. They are disorganized and make you feel unwelcome. Be prepared to wait a long time past your scheduled appointment, be prepared for ENDLESS telephone calls trying to schedule you more appointments, and be prepared they are going to try and upsell you things you don't need. They very well may work on commission for the way they act. read more

I have had my fair share of experiences with dentists who are shady and are only there to gauge you for more money. You wouldn't think that a dentists office would be somewhere that you could be "upsold," but they will certainly try. Dr. Talmood's office is no exception. I went in there to get my semi-annual cleaning which has always been free of charge because it is completely covered by my insurance. I left the office somehow mysteriously paying $80 out of my pocket. I didn't question it at the time, but then I got my explanation of benefits in the mail from my insurance company and procedures had been done that I had not approved. I guess I should have questioned it at the time, but it didn't occur to me to think twice. So as any grown adult would do, I called the dentists office to figure out what I payed $80 for and they told me I had asked for a deeper general cleaning. From my past experience, what I received was nothing more than any other cleaning. I definitely did not approve any other service other than a cleaning. Anna Talmood's solution was to give me a discount on more services, of which I would still be responsible for paying more money out of my own pocket. Why on earth would you think that I would want to go back to your office after you already ripped me off? This was over a year ago. I got a call from her front desk people asking when I wanted to schedule another appointment. Silly, silly people. I would never go back to someone I didn't trust in the first place and who I feel like ripped me off. read more

I went there because my HMO insurance choice it for me. I was waiting for long time for checking and cleaning my teeth. They charge me deep cleaning teeth for $1080 they told me my insurance is pay half, so I have to pay the balance of $1080, I did half of my teeth paid $540, other half I have to look for some good Dentist who charges fair price and good heart. Will never go BACK. read more

This dentist was the third one we chose within our HMO. (Note: Don't do an HMO, even for dentistry.) Like Elaine, I went in for a semi-annual cleaning and they insisted that I needed the deep cleaning, which cost me an additional $62. I agreed only because our previous HMO dentist was terrible. Then there was another $80 treatment she wanted me to get, which I refused. And the deep cleaning seemed like a normal cleaning at any other dental office. I won't even go into my husband's horrible experience there because it was even worse than mine. So...in a nutshell, don't do an HMO and don't go to this dentist unless you like to pay above and beyond what you're already paying for your dental premium. ---- Problem #2: My husband went in for a crown. Trust me, we would've waited until we were able to switch to his company's PPO plan, but a crown is not something you can wait for. On the day of the appointment, he received a call from the dentist's office WHILE he was on his way there saying that the dentist had to leave and that he'd have to reschedule. WTF??? Almost all practices charge a no show fee to patients who cancel last minute or don't show. So I suggested that my husband get that amount back from dentist for her no show. When he went in for his crown the following week, they actually tried to explain that he (the patient) shouldn't get this discount. That makes NO sense to me. Fortunately, my husband was persistent and got the $50 cancellation fee that patients are normally charged discounted from the total. Problem #3: Today I called the dentist to ask why we were charged $1200 on top of the $450 deductible we were supposed to pay for a crown. Apparently they upgraded the crown. WTF!!! If I could give a negative star rating, this place would get it. Worthy of a complaint to the better business bureau. Separately, NEVER, NEVER do an HMO. Lesson learned. read more

I agree with most of Mark K.'s evaluation of Dr. Talmood except that I have always found the office to be clean. What I will add is that after she fitted me several times for a bridge, and cemented it in, one year later I am still having problems with it and will probably have to go elsewhere to have it removed and replaced. I have not done this yet as I am afraid to have it yanked out of my mouth and paid too much to have it sawed out. When she checked it the first and second times, she insisted that my teeth were moving, not her bridge, but my teeth. Instead of making sure it was fit properly, she filled the space between the bridge and the last molar and since then the filling has crumbled.I guess I will have to eat that $1000+ that I spent, or sue her..... Another interested repair she did was, at my request, she bonded my front tooth to cover a chip. Well, the bonding broke at least three times and I had to keep going back to have it redone. At first there was at no additional charge, she willingly repaired her bad bond. Eventually, after getting annoyed that it kept breaking she bonded it for a final time and I said, "are we sure this is going to last?" She assured me that this one would not break. Well, maybe it is because she charged me an additional $100+ to repair her mistake. Guess what, it hasn't broken yet. I guess the first three less expensive bonds were disposable! Sorry Dr. Talmood, as nice as you appear, you are all in it for the money. read more

STAY AWAY!!! Pros: None Cons: Many... 1. VERY LONG WAIT TIMES... I've waited in the waiting room for over 20 minutes to be seen, and then I usually sit in the dental chair for another 15 minutes before she even comes to check up on me. There appears to be only one dentist (Talmood) in the office, however she has 8 chairs, and many of them are full at the same time, so she'll be working on several patients concurrently and as a result my numbing shot usually wears off by the time she gets to me, so I've received number shot after numbing shot during one sitting (not fun). Expect to spend literally ALL DAY at the dentist if you visit her. 2. She and her assistants are NOT GENTAL (Expect to feel major pain during and after the visit). I've walked out of that office with MAJOR pain lingering for days... One time she performed a filling job on a tooth w/ white filling. The pain never went away, so she re-filled it with the standard gray filling, however the pain never did go away, so eventually I went to another dentist who was able to re-fill that tooth and I was pain free the next day. 3. BAD ADVICE from her staff. Being a newbie to the dental office world, I was not aware of the significant difference between HMO and PPO service. Her front office staff (lady) advised me to switch to PPO from my HMO plan so that I could get better (white fillings, deep cleaning, etc...) service. That year, I spent over a thousand (probably closer to $2,000) dollars at her office out of my own pocket, not to mention my PPO's contribution. The majority of those fees could have been avoided if I would have kept my original HMO plan. 4. OLD EQUIPMENT... The equipment appeared to be old and looked dirty. On the bright side, it's been a few years since I visited her office. I've become a much wiser dental patient and will not settle for anything other than a dentist with good, prompt, and competent service. I hope that things have changed, but after reading other online reviews about her, it doesn't appear like it has. read more

I had braces back in 2007 and we'll my bottom retainer broke. Which then my bottom teeth shifted, and I hated my smile. I went in thinking I was going to spend alot of money for bottom braces, but I didnThis dentist office has very lovely staff, Alfonso helped with all X-rays, and made sure everything went smoothly. He made sure I was happy with the service I got. About 9-10 months later my teeth were back in place and I'm loving my smile! Thank you for all the help I happy with my results! read more

Dr. Talmood and her entire team are amazing! They are kind, efficient, HONEST, and thorough. You will not feel like a number in this office, they take time to go over all your concerns and explain any recommended procedure completely as well as answer any questions you may have. I have been looking for a good dentist and I am so glad I gave my fellow Trojan a shot! Fight on Dr. Talmood! ~ Monica C (using my daughter's Yelp acct)! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTAL OFFICE!!!! I went to this dental office because it is close to home and because they accept my insurance. In the 2 years I have been seen by Dr. Talmood, my teeth have never been cleaned. I was told, "Oh, Dr. Talmood likes to wait until the work is done to clean your teeth." Not only that in order to be treated I had to take a line of credit out with Care Credit. At first my line of credit was larger than what was owed, but somehow the office took all of my line of credit. Then as work progressed I checked my line of credit and, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, OR ADVISING ME WHAT I OWED MY DEBT JUMPED FROM $600 TO $1800 on my Care Credit account! NOW THE OFFICE IS CALLING ME SAYING I STILL OWE THEM MONEY! Dr. Talmood is sly. She gives you her smile and has her office workers stab you in the back. I will never return. read more

OMG... After reading the ridiculous low star comments on this dental office I have to say that some people have no common sense and have unreasonable expectations. YOU ARE IN A DENTAL OFFICE for God sakes WHERE CARING AND DOING A GOOD JOB MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER AT TIMES AND ANY THING UNEXPECTED CAN HAPPEN SPECIALLY THE MEDICATIONS THAT WORK DIFFERENTLY ON DIFFERENT PATIENTS..... Or unexpected situations so with that said the time can always change and Doctors can always fall behind schedule ... Just like a fresh food or fast food the fresh food takes longer to be prepared but we all know it's a healthier choice. My family and I have been happily going to Dr. Talmood's office for the past 22 years and that happened to me a few times that she was behind schedule but I have been totally okay with that because I KNOW THAT AFTER ALL I HAVE A GREAT DOCTOR WHO REALLY CARES AND DOES NOT SCREW ME OVER MONEY. In fact I have waited more for my mechanic or MD doctor than my dentist and that should be expected when you go to a hospital or similar places. Overall I rather to wait and pay a bit more than to have a none honest service provider be it a mechanic, plumber or a dentist. My family and I have been a long time patient of Dr. Talmood and every one have been happy with her quality of work. Some of us even drive more than an hour and half from Encino to get to her office but sure it is worth the time and every penny because WE KNOW WE ARE IN GOOD HANDS THAT CARES AND KNOWS HER TRADE really well. Dr. Talmood is a great doctor who REALLY CARES to do a good job rather than just making money and I do highly recommend her work and services. read more

I had to switch dentists due to a change in my insurance, and after some research, I chose Dr. Talmood. On my first visit, Dr. Talmood took a quick look in my mouth (just a few seconds) and declared that I had two decaying cavities that required getting fillings within the next two weeks. Based on the fact that I've only had one small cavity my entire adult life, and the fact that I brush my teeth 4+ times a day and floss daily, I found this a little strange. I made an appointment with my old dentist to get a second opinion. After thoroughly examining my teeth and taking his own x-rays, he said that he did not see any decaying cavities. He told me that I do have deep groves in my molars and, while he did not think it was necessary, I could get them filled as a preventative measure. However, Dr. Talmood and her staff did not present the fillings option to me as a "preventative" measure; rather, they informed me that my teeth were decaying and that I needed to get fillings as soon as possible. In addition, with my new insurance, my cleanings are supposed to be free (with a $5 per office visit copay), but I somehow left Dr. Talmood's office paying $115 in copays for extra services including "deep cleaning" and "debridement." While everyone in the office was nice enough, and I think they know what they're doing and did a good job cleaning my teeth (thus the 2 stars), I won't be going back. They seem to be more focused on making money than anything else. (Believe it or not, the "new patient" forms actually ask for your bank account number -- I think that about says it all!) read more

Came in by today for the very first time, came in for my 11:00 appointment two other patients came in after me, one which her appointment wasn't until 11:30 as I was waiting the two patients get called in before me..kept on waiting 45 minutes passed finally get called in for X-rays as I was walking in I was seated in this right little room facing another room to take X-rays kind of awkward anyway the assistant used this weird instrument that looked very well used into my mouth to take X-rays, I was grossed out I asked for listerine afterwards which they had thank god! As I got seated in my room more gross ness in the corner was this banged up looking chair.. "Are they shrimping for money here?" Everything in the office was outdated and gross looking! At this point it was already an hour and a half into the appointment I was already over it got up and left before seeing the dentist! read more

Unfortunately after several years with Dr Talmood we have decided to find a new dentist. My husband recently started seeing Dr Talmood and he liked her as much as I did. Dr Talmood saw my husband over a period of about a year preforming all his necessary dental work. We were happy with the service and work preformed. The problem came when Dr Talmood asked my husband if he was happy with his smile and said she could do cosmetic work to improve the appearance of his teeth. My husband agreed and Dr Talmood suggested veneers. She took impressions of his teeth, and had a mock up created of what his teeth would look like. Weeks later he went in had the veneer mock up put on, and Dr sent him home with a photo to share. The veneered teeth would look perfect, in that "fake-teeth" sort of way and would cost about $9,000. for several top teeth. We asked about orthodontics to really fix his whole smile and Dr Talmood suggest we make an appt with her Orthodontist. We did that, and were told Ortho would take about 18 months, cost about $7,500. and it would be old-fashioned, silver braces. With both the Ortho and the dentist in the office I wanted to confirm that we could do either veneers for $10k or Ortho for $7,500. Dr Talmood immediately said No, veneers wouldn't work. They will pop off because the teeth are so misaligned. We were confused! Hadn't she just had a mock up of the veneers made, and placed them on my husband, and offered them to him just a month before? Now she says they wouldn't be right for him? Why would she have gone though all of that if they wouldn't work? My husband was angry that he was offered something by Dr, and was now being told they wouldn't work. He feels that if we hadn't asked about orthodontics, he would have been sold the veneers. My husband felt he couldn't trust the Dr and refused go back. We've since found a new Dentist and went with Invisalign. read more

Dr Anna Talmood is by far the best dentist ever. I'm almost 50 and have been to many. I'm staying with her for the long haul. I spent 25 years working in Hollywood and my smile was my money maker. She keeps my smile pretty and my mouth healthy. You will not find a better dentist between her skills and her compassion. read more

Would not recommend. I didn't care for her pushy (and slightly rude) demeanor. She also tried to up-sell me an unnecessary filling. Went immediately for a second opinion and three X-rays later and nearly two years have passed and that so-called shading on my X-ray hasn't grown a bit and I still have no pain or irritation. Current dentist says there's nothing to be concerned about. Which brings me back to my first question. For such a newly renovated office, when I was there, I was surprised by how outdated her X-ray machine was. Maybe they've updated since and service has improved. read more
