I have been coming here for 2 years, and have never had a bad experience. Not having insurance for a long time, I knew I was going to need a lot of work done. They gave me all the costs up front, I was able to get the smile care credit for 12 months no interest, and I've slowly been able to fix up my teeth at my budget's pace. They seem to know almost everyone's name when they walk in the door, the Dr's are all extremely friendly and patient, and the oral surgeon took 2 minutes to extract a tooth. Seriously, the Novocain took longer! They've really been great with me, even when I have questions about the costs and/or billing. They've always been up front with me. read more

I can't say enough positive things about office! They are professional, yet personable and really care about my health and happiness.

So sad. I am a patient at a sister office which I love but this place was disappointing. I went in for an orthodontist consultation since my regular office doesn't offer ortho, the orthodontist had mentioned that with adults they don't do much to fix the jaw or palate, I said oh ok. Well once my insurance benefits kicked in I called this office to get my quote reconfigured they said they didn't have time today but that tomorrow they would call me. They never called me back and it's been over a week. So I moved on went to another office which I love and the orthodontist has a treatment plan to fix palates in adults. Don't waste your time here. They obviously didn't want my money and not calling me back was the best thing that could have happened to me. read more

Anytime I would come here to Pacific Dental Group and Orthodontics, The wait time was so long. Even though I am patient most of the time, but I wasn't this time I would wait an hour and a half just for a 10 minute cleaning appointment. I would've put 1 star but I decided to go with a 2 star because they had pretty decent customer service overall I wouldn't come here again. read more

I have been going to this dentist and orthodontist for over a decade. They are by far the best dentists and orthodontists in town....even my kids like the place. The staff is also very friendly, professional and on time. read more

Just had a great cleaning with Kaite. The staff is so nice at Pacific Dental. My family has been going here for years.

Rated "F" by the BBB---see for yourself! I went to Pacific Dental for the first time approx 6 weeks ago---for a check-up and cleaning--and also had the sales pitch about the scaling, planing, laser treatment and so on. I went for it and of course it was more money than my insurance paid for. ($500 out of pocket) Then I was given an appointment to see the periodontist because I was told I had severe periodontal disease and since I did have a problem with two of my molars-- I came back. I had asked if my molars should come out as I had been told by prior dentists...and I was told it could be saved with (expensive) peridontal surgery...which I felll for again BUT did not opt for the entire package. Just the portion that my insurance paid for (mostly--$200). I, too, was told I had many, many pockets--deep pockets...I thought she was talking about my teeth but maybe she was really talking about my purse!---very DEEP pockets! I was ALSO shown pictures of someone elses teeth to illustrate the importance, etc...and when I asked why she using someone elses pictures, she reluctantly pulled mine up stating she wasn't very good with the computer--my teeth did not look like the one she used to sell me on the treatment. Not even close. And yet, I fell for it! I had told the Specialist that I would be leaving the coming up week-end for a mini vacation and I was assured I would be just fine by then (5 days away)...well--I am most definately not! Not only were the numbing shots most painful , but they also made me sweat and shake and sick to my stomach--and as I was going through all of this the Dentist actually said she wondered why I would do such a procedure when I was planning to go away for the week-end! Oh and guess what's next? She had mis -judged--my molars needed to come out after all!!! And she could do that, too!! Right. I'll get back there as soon as I can--Not! I wish I had read these reviews before or had --at the very least listened to my gut feeling on the first visit!. Something wasn't right and I knew it but decided to stay--why? I do not know. I, too felt as though I were in a used car lot where the only thing of importance was the selling!! They are good at it--this selling technique! They are all very polite and smile a lot! They make it seem as if you MUST get this done right away--for your health! I will NOT be going back! Good thing the stitches in my mouth are dissolvable! Not only do I feel duped and lied to--but the pain is horrible! My lower jaw and ear (yes, I felt one of the needles in my ear!) are still hurting! I do NOT reccomend this place to anyone! read more

Stay away from here if you want consistent orthodontics. The only reason we stayed for the full course of care for my teenage daughter was because they took our insurance for braces. In the course of 3 years, she has had more than 3 different orthodontists. Because of the frequent changes, she has had her appointments changed often. They also have very little availability if you need to re-schedule because whatever orthodontist they had at the time was only in the office 1-2 days/week. And now, when they are supposed to be removed tomorrow, we get a call that they don't have an orthodontist again so we will have to wait till next week. On a positive note, the office staff are generally nice. read more

I gave 5 stars to Dr Ketki Nechal ONLY! She was so polite, extremely knowledgeable, and professional all the way! She treated me in the most excellent way, gave me great suggestions and advices regarding my teeth care. Cleaning procedure was great! Pacific Dental Group is very lucky to have such a Dental Provider as Dr Nechal! read more

Nichole Tillison is the best Dental Hygienist ever! I have followed her to this location. She is the best!!! read more

DDS Kondalkindi was absolutely great!!! I have a HUGE fear of dentists and she took her time,didnt rush and wasnt aggressive. I dont know if she has been doing this for a long time or just beginning her career but all I can say is dont change! Absolute great experience.!! Assistant Linda was funny and calming and did an awesome job!!! read more

If I could give this place 0 starts I absolutely would (I'm writing this at 3 am due to being in excruciating pain). The front desk people are extremely kind so this has nothing to do with them. On 8/19/21 I saw Dr. Kouros Izadi for wisdom tooth extraction. He advised me that my wisdom tooth (last one that needed to be pulled and never has complications with the other wisdoms being pulled by last surgeon) was close to the nerve and recommended that I go for a coronectomy (which cost more than removing the whole tooth) A coronectomy is where they cut the crown of the wisdom tooth. Long story short he was so rough and in the end he sutured my gum and let me know that he couldn't take the entire crown off!!! Here I am 4 days later in the worst pain of my life. I reached out to him and he told me I was being dramatic with the pain . I told him that my left arm is numb and tingling and my ear is hurting due to my tooth aching and he said that's impossible !! Umm no it's not sir being that you struck a nerve. He was super rude and after reading reviews on him, a lot of people have complained about this oral surgeon. I went to emergency dental and they told me this doctor messed up really bad and I have emergency surgery in a couple hours with another surgeon thank God. Being a black woman it isn't uncommon for these doctors to dismiss our pain which is absolute BS! Stay away ! I will definitely be taking further action ! DONT COME HERE FOR ORAL SURGERY !!!! Tooth pain is worse thaN labor save yourself. And Dr. Izadi is no good. Look up his reviews and take it from me. read more

This dental office is a gem!! Carly the receptionist was so helpful and nice! She explained everything so clearly and really helped make our experience there great! I took my Mom and she had some work that needed to be done. Dr. Aldaz and her team did exceptional work on my mom's teeth! I am so thankful for the time and care that they provided my mom! I would highly recommend this dental office! read more

Ive been going here for over 8 yrs thought they were good until my last visit. Found out i have some kind of mass in my gum that has been there since 2007 now i have to go to an oral surgeon. Im questioning them because that is kinda scary. They couldnt even tell me what it was read more

Front desk is very cordial and professional. The office area is already decorated for Christmas! Very clean office.

Dr. Aldaz constantly provides excellent work. Her ethical standards ought to be trusted. My parents will not see any other dentist but her, and they have been on this earth for a very long time!! read more

Prices are extremely outrages for services, probably highest in Temecula and Murrieta Valley. I DO NOT recommend going here. My friend had exact same procedures as me and I paid twice as much as she did. :( Also front desk lady that sits next to window is not that friendly and has a poor attitude she is non empathic towards your money situation and could care less if you can afford treatments there. Please, choose another dentist and get your moneys worth. Dentist treatments are already costly & this place is extremely highly with their fees. read more

You'll be very please with this dentist office if you live in Temecula area. They make you feel very comfortable even if your nervous about going to the dentist. They have a wonderful staff and Payment plans. A+++ read more

Our family has been treated collectively by the amazing ortho team including Dr. Borghei, Laura, Hernan, and Araceli. They're all amazing and ensure we're comfortable and take their time with the children ensuring the patients know what's happening and why. I can't recommend them enough. read more

My kids love coming to see Laura in ortho. She always makes my kid's feel comfortable and having 3 kids in ortho that really helps

This is the first time I have written a review for anyone but it is deserving. I had nothing but great experiences while going to see Dr. Kondakindi. Her team was great and she did a great job explaining everything that she was doing and listening to what I had to say. She kept me calm during all of my appointments and answered all of my questions. After seeing many different dentists I can say that Dr. Kondakindi and her team are the best I have seen and I will continue to go there and would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I could not have been happier with my first visit. I felt truly welcomed when I first arrived. From the booking of my first appointment to my x-rays and probably the most through cleaning I've had in 34 years! My dentist spent quality time with me while making me feel at ease. They absolutely did not try and up-sale me any products or additional services, however I did choose to pick up whitening here and will say it has been the most effective whitening product that I have experienced (I already had bleaching trays). I am so glad that I took advantage of the $39 (x-rays,cleaning and exam) and became a first time patient with Pacific Dental Group and Orthodontics! THANK YOU! read more

Yes, they do try to up sell, every business does this some are more subtle than others. In addition, some people can handle it and some people can't. If you are the type of person that cannot, do not go here or maybe go here and learn to say "NO"!. Moving along, I have waited for 35 years since my 9th birthday to have a beautiful set of front teeth, which meant for technology to catch up at a reasonable price. I have been a client with Pacific Dental since 2004 and have seen many doctors come and go but the staff remains the same "excellent". Recently, a new Dentist Dr. Aria came aboard who has a great persona, compassionate and gentle with teeth. On a whim, instead of getting my cavities fixed. I decided to go with my gut instincts on this doctor and have my 2 front teeth replaced. "I am happy I did!" He assured me that he would only put the most beautiful teeth in my mouth and that if they need to get sent back to the lab several times so be it. Next, Marina found me a reasonable rate with corporate discounts with a no interest credit card. Silvia & Amanda were very attentive and supportive. Even more so, Denise called my home to make sure my temporaries remained in place while I was job hunting and the Lab was constructing my Crown & Veneer for the second time around. In the long run, Dr. Aria kept his word and I had beautiful realistic smile for the first time since my 9th birthday and after wards I received a thorough cleaning by Jason. If you choose to go to Pacific Dental definitely request Dr. Aria. Thank you Pacific Dental for a job well done :-) Danette Diaz read more

Excellent dental experience. The dentist initial meeting answered all my concerns about my tooth ache treatment and dental cleaning. The dental assistants and music creates a welcoming atmosphere. Also, the friendly front office staff set appointments according to my days off. I highly recommend this dentistry. read more

To all who need Orthodontic help. I recommend Pacific Dental Group and Orthodontics. Doctor Kunle Ajanaku is the boss of this town when it come to orthodontics.

I love this office!! The first time I came I was greeted by the hygienist and seen by the doctor very quickly. The entire staff was so nice and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I have had a lot of bad visits to other dentists and the staff here made me feel very relaxed and have me many choices. The doctor was not pushy about treatment and let me decide what I wanted to do and what would be best for me. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who needed a new dentist. read more

I drive from SD every 6 mo. The best dental group and service is A+...Sam dental asst is the best!!!!!

Highly Recommend This Office! The Staff & Providers made me feel as Comfortable as possible. The Staff and quality of work was what made my experience truly amazing & I would not recommend any other office if it is not PDS. Growing up I was always scarred of The Dentist & they have changed all my bad thoughts on that. I even went ahead and started Invisalign with the orthodontist team! Not in a million years would I have pushed myself to get any type of work done. From the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out, you will not see anyone without a SMILE. They are very genuine and transparent! Love this team! You Guys Are Great! I'd like to personally thank, Marina, Shannon , Hernan, Dr. Ajeniku , & Dr. Nichal For A Great Experience! read more

DON'T GO HERE! I don't recommend going here unless you're trying to get ripped off. The front desk staff was nice but Judith Aldez tries to get the most money out of you as possible, even if you don't need work done. I got a second opinion about my teeth from the staff at Dr. Skidmore's office and they were honest, decently priced and nice. Needless to say, I switched dentists that day. If you're in the Temecula area I highly recommend his office! The work that Pacific Dental Group said I needed done was false and overpriced. read more

Marina makes me instantly smile walking in, always chats with me about what I have been doing over the last few months and Shannon is the greatest! She always makes sure to take her time during my cleanings and to show me my improvements. Paying for my services are always a breeze with Bre. She always answers any questions I have and tries her best to give me the greatest deals! Will forever come here! read more

I was going to Pacific Dental for many years since it was a mile away from home. Now going to a different dentist all I can say is WOW what a difference. Pacific dental is going to upsell, upsell, upsell you to death. Everyone gets Periodontal disease ( new dentist has told me no need) so you have to pay to see the hygienist. Then more upselling; laser treatments, irrigation and changing out fillings that have no need to be replaced. This place wants to take you for every penny you have. Avoid at all costs. One plus, office manager Marina is really you nice. read more

Staff were very nice and I felt my dental care from the hygienists was good (saw an actual dentist for only a few minutes over the years I was a patient here) but the business model of Pacific dental seemed to focus on driving the maximum revenue above all else. I also later found from other former patients here that they consistently push periodontal "disease" treatments to drive revenue. They did this with me and when I got a second opinion ... verdict was I was free of periodontal "disease." Three times they scheduled my visits prior to the twice annual visits that my insurance (and most insurance) will pay for. I paid from my pocket a couple times and finally said no to these extra appointments that wasted my time traveling to their office and seemed to benefit their revenue needs above all else. Seemed strange to me that a dental office would intentionally run an office with these types of policies so I did some digging. They are basically operated by a $300 million/year corporation from Irvine that handles the "business" part of the dental office operation for around 200 dental offices in the SW USA. Nobody on the executive team is a dentist and the focus of everything I read about the company was about "growth" ... meaning (in my opinion) that the core values are about returns to the investors and not so much about the patient. I found a family run operation that also has nice people and care by an actual dentist ... and also understands that most people just do not like spending more money than they need to for good dental care. Just my opinion. read more

This practice is owned by the same people (Dr Watanabe) that run Meadows Dental on Ranco California Rd in Temecula. I don't know how they stay in business. They are con artists and NOT reputable healthcare providers. They are only concerned with trying to upsell patients as much as possible. Read the reviews for Meadows Dental - http://www.yelp.com/biz/meadows-dental-group-temecula - You'll see what I mean. As I was having x-rays, the tech tried to talk me into also having my teeth whitened. The next thing I knew Dr. Nguyen (a jerk and a con artist) showed me x-rays with alleged "pockets" etc. I was told I have advanced periodontal disease and needed thousands of dollars of scaling, deep cleaning, laser treatment, etc. I have NEVER had problems with my teeth. In fact, previous dentists have always complimented my good oral hygiene, have told me my teeth are "great." My last dentist is a recognized and respected dentist in Washington D.C. He didnt find ANY evidence of periodontal disease 6 mos prior to my visit to Pacific Dental. Oh, and I was also told that I needed a crown (which I did believe). But I was shocked when the tech told me that I "had a choice between an 'unhygienic' crown (the less- expensive, porcelain-coated, silver crown) or their top of the line, ceramic crown. "UNHYGIENIC"??? I work in healthcare and could not believe that a dental practice would allow their staff to describe a PRODUCT THAT THEY SELL this way. My first thought was, if it's "unhygienic" why would you offer it to patients? Very, very shady. Oddly enough, Dr. Nguyen also diagnosed my husband with the same periodontal disease issues. My husband does have dental problems so at least that was believable. But, again, they tried to force him to go with the most expensive treatment, which was not covered by our insurance. I had such a bad, creepy feeling about Pacific Dental that I decided to NEVER return. Six months later, I made an appointment at Meadows Dental. When I filled out the new patient forms, one question asked, "what did you not like about your last dentist?" I answered: "I felt like I was on a used-car lot. The dentist seemed more concerned with making a sale than helping me." So, imagine my shock when Dr. Nguyen walked into the exam room and demanded to know why I was not happy with my treatment at the other office. I told him that I dont like having "upgrades" forced on me when I'm there for a routine cleaning. Next, he told me he'd be right back. I sat in the chair, with the little paper bib on for nearly an hour. I finally realized he was not coming back so I took off the bib and walked out. As I was leaving, the receptionist looked at me with "fake sincerity" and said, "I'm so sorry!" If this is how a PATIENT is treated for expressing their opinion - an opinion that expressed dissatisfaction with poor service and level of care - then something is seriously wrong Dr. Lynda Watanabe, who apparently owns this chain of dental offices. Do yourself a favor: find another dentist. This is not a good place. They do not care about patients. They are money-grubbing and unprofessional. read more

I went to Pacific Dental with 2 weeks left on my insurance and a whole lot of work needing to be done. After my initial exam, Marina (who was awesome), came in and walked me through my treatment options, thoroughly explaining the financial aspect of my care. I opted to have two crowns done on my molars. Dr. Harprabh Singh came in to explain what we were going to do and I told him I was very nervous about the pain associated with the treatment. I asked, if I felt I needed it would he prescribe me pain killers? He said yes he would. So we went ahead. After they administered the novocain, which was way more painful than any of my previous dental experiences, I got shaky and my heart started beating rapidly. Dr. Singh suggested I eat a granola bar to ease this and I tried. But why on earth would a dentist suggest you eat a granola bar with your mouth completely numb?! It was terrible! I bit myself, gagged, and couldn't swallow. Shouldn't he have anticipated that eating would be difficult for me? So we forge ahead and as I am leaving the office, with my temp crowns, I ask the man at the front desk for the pain killer prescription. He says, "for a crown prep, no we don't do that". I tell him Dr. Singh told me he would. He looks at me doubtfully, but goes back to find Dr. Singh and returns and tells me "Dr. Singh says to take some motrin". What?! I was FLAT OUT LIED TO. Dr. Singh deliberately mislead me so I would get the work done in his office. So I return a week later for my permanent crowns and as they are removing the temps I get this EXCRUCIATING PAIN from the exposed tooth. It actually brings tears to my eyes. I tell Dr. Singh I'm scared because I don't think I can handle it if they touch that tooth again. He says they can numb me up if I want, but if I just do it without the novocain "it'll take a few seconds and be over soon". I recall the pain of last week's shot and I tell him very openly "I don't know what to do. I'm afraid of that level of pain." Instead of providing guidance as a good health-care provider should he says nothing and LOOKS AT ME AS IF I AM WASTING HIS TIME. I decide to go ahead without the novocain and it hurt so bad - I mean childbirth pales in comparison. I'm not proud to say I was practically writhing around in the chair, tears streaming down my face and Dr. Singh goes on as if nothing is amiss. He finishes up and walks out of the room, without a word, leaving me sitting in the chair crying. Wow, talk about ZERO bedside manner. read more

I was referred by my dentist to do some procedures on my teeth. This is my first time there. Before I got there, I was very scared and very nervous. But I was amazed how gentle their hands and they reassured me that everything will be ok. Thank you for the staff for taking care of me. You guys are an angel:) read more
