I have been a patient with Dr. Mehta for over 10 years. She continues to provide my husband and I excellent service. I write this review because my family was recently in town visiting from out of state when my brother said his filling just came out. He asked if my dentist come possibly see him and I said let me call and find out. Without hesitation the staff were able to get him booked next day. I always knew Dr. Mehta and her staff were excellent, but getting my brother in so quickly and fixing his filling with no pain without him missing a beat on our vacation. It gave me a new appreciation for the service they provide. I would highly recommend this dentist, her and the staff go above and beyond for her patients...and family. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars! I had an extremely disappointing experience with Dr. Parul Mehta's office. Five years after a front tooth crown was placed by this office, the crown broke off and the tooth could not be salvaged. I went through the implant process and - after 6 months - was expecting the final step -- placement of the implant crown. My original appointment had to be postponed because I was told the dental lab needed an additional part. When I finally came in for the crown and implant appointment, the crown that arrived was too small and could not be placed. I had to go through a painful injection directly into the gum area where the front tooth normally sits, along with additional X-rays and scans, only to be told afterward that the crown would not work. The entire time, NO-ONE spoke to me!! Later, when I asked about a refund, the situation was blamed on the lab. I left without a new appointment being scheduled, and there was no one available at the front desk when I tried to check out. I was extremely upset and alone (remember, no one spoke to me while I was going through X-rays and scans).It felt extremely disorganized and HIGHLY unprofessional, especially given the amount of time, discomfort, and cost involved in an implant procedure. I was expecting better coordination, clearer accountability, and more patient-focused care for something as significant as a front tooth implant. read more

Best dentist I've ever been to! Extremely friendly and professional staff, with reasonable pricing and realistic treatments that are kept as minimally invasive as possible. It's clear that Dr. Mehta and her staff care about their patients, and do everything they can to provide only the treatment that is strictly necessary, without adding anything extra to drive up the price like so many other dental offices do. read more

I went in for my first appointment at 34 weeks pregnant, the front desk advised that I would be getting X-rays, which I declined. I only wanted a check up and clean up. The doctor attempted to force me to get X-rays and was extremely rude. He made a comment to me "you realize your mouth is up here and your baby is down there right?" As if I don't have common sense. The doctor seemed really upset that I didn't want X-rays and made me uncomfortable. He also said, "so if you're not getting X-rays, then why are you even here?"as if I was wasting his time. All I wanted was to get established with a dentist and get a clean up. After viewing my teeth, he left the chair completely reclined (which is not comfortable for someone in their third trimester) he also made a statement to the dental assistant "patients like this will come in maybe once a year" They advised that I had cavities and offered me no solution to the problem. I've never had such an awful experience at a dentist, I will never come back. read more

Overcharging like other comments suggest. They seem nice but charged me over a hundred for copay even though my insurance should've covered everything; they also tried to convince me to take my wisdom teeth out even though there's nothing wrong with them. Good dentist but it's such a shame they're disgraceful scammers. read more

I would rate a zero but I was fortunate to always have a good hygienist so I rated a 2. Customer Service is horrible they called me three times in a half hour span just to get a verbal confirmation when I already had an appointment. When I returned the call I canceled and they threatened to charge me a cancellation fee of 25 dollars because it wasn't a 24 hour notice. Mind you I called at noon and my appointment was at 9 am the next day. They try and charge you for services that were not requested or covered by the insurance. Now they are sending me a 40 dollar bill for the cancellation. This office rips off their clients and insurance companies. I will never recommend them or return to them again. My husband stopped going along time ago for the same reason but I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. No longer will I do that. read more

Quality of dental care is top notch. I have been going here for years. Staff is amazing. Highly recommend this practice to anyone.

Beware..... Beware of Charges Scam by her trained staff to ripoff customers with Absolutely poor service and low work ethics. Ito a complete Disgust How her staff is trying to scam money and providing poor service. completely running practice for money scam via insurance and / or Credit card. Beware !! read more

Dr Parul Mehta is an amazing dentist and knows your needs. she is very caring and understanding the patient issues and she loves what she is doing and her staffs are a great team.I am glad that I chose her as my dentist and I highly recommend her read more

Dr. Mehta, the very caring dentist in Temecula and her staff, thank you. Donna, thank you so very much for taking your time to discuss dental care plan as a new patient. You are awesome. Dr. Mehta is such an angel. A brilliant dentist. Oti is so nice and the nice front desk lady - I think her name is Aris greeted me with a nice welcoming smile. All of you there were so wonderful -- from the moment I made an appointment for the first time on the phone to the moment I stepped into their clean office and into their private, enclosed patient rooms with TV to help distract you from the dental work being done throughout the appt, and to the moment I left. I used to go to my long-time dentist, Dr. Sherman in La Jolla/Del Mar for many years, who was such a brilliant, very good and very caring dentist, but he unfortunately retired after many years. Since then, it has been very difficult to find a dentist that I could trust and feel confident in getting dental care from. I visited several here in Temecula but none that I would go to since I found Dr. Mehta. Thank you for being a caring dentist! Have a blessed week. God bless! read more

Worse than a used car dealer! My dentist of 35 years retired, so I tried a Temecula dentist. I fell for the 'new patient special', only to find out that I had a dozen things wrong with my teeth. I was told I had multiple cavities, needed crowns, new veneers, etc. I did agree to having two of the fillings done that night. They are very high pressure with getting you go sign paperwork. It literally took the Dr. about ten minutes to do the fillings - and she was standing up the entire time. I paid $430 (cash patient, which was supposedly a discount), as well as the new patient consultation charge. After being told I had so many things wrong, I went to two other dentists for second opinions. They both said I was oversold on what needed to be done, and that the 'two fillings' I paid for, should have only counted for one (same tooth, and they were incredibly small). One of the dentists even said he would not have touched them - he would monitor them with each visit. Both dentists also said I only needed one crown, and that it wasn't urgent. I called Dr. Mehta and explained the situation, and asked for half of my money back - they said they would talk to their manager and let me know. Two months later: crickets. So I called again, and said I was very unhappy, and would no longer be their patient. After hearing a 10 minute sob story and a bunch of fake sympathy, they also said they would check with their manager and let me know. That was two weeks ago - still nothing. I ended up paying over $500 that day for x-rays, a cleaning, and two incredibly small cavities that probably didn't need to be touched. I did warn Dr. Mehta's office that I would be leaving a review based on my experience - I gave them a fair chance to give me a partial refund, but with no luck. And, to my surprise, they told me I was their in 2006 as a new patient. It was the only other time I tried a Temecula dentist (I always drove to OC for my dentist). And sure enough, it was the same experience 15 years ago - a laundry list of things that needed to be done - they even tried to sell me braces. Please avoid!! But don't worry, when you are unhappy, they will be sure to tell you what a good patient you were, and how much they like you. Oh please! read more

This office is managed really poorly. The services are overpriced and upselling is a daily occurrence. Donna is a horrible person. Every time I went into the office, even after confirming the price of the visit BEFORE the visit, I was told it would be sooooo much more. The last straw was when I was in a terrible accident and could not walk. I called the office and left a message on their machine that I could not make the appointment. They have been sending me threatening invoices for a "missed appointment" at a cost of $40 for months. The latest invoice says they are going to send me to collection. I've filed a complaint with the American Dental Association. This place is unprofessional, unethical and wrought with desperate greed. read more

My tooth implants were finished today. After 20 years of strategizing, three rounds of braces, and the most recent six months of trying to get the fit right for the final implants, my smile is complete! For anyone who doesn't know, I was born without quite a few of my adult teeth because of a genetic thing. Fixing the problem hasn't been easy or budget-friendly, haha. But the long process ended this morning. Woot woot! (My sweet young son said he likes me better with my teeth missing of course ) Thanks go mainly to my dentist in Temecula, Dr. PARUL MEHTA, who did my implants. She didn't rest until they were perfect. read more

Donna, keeps calling over and over saying I'm overdue for a visit. I told her the first time that I'm busy with a newborn and she said that I should come in either way. Lady, my teeth are fine and I go there twice a year because my insurance covers it. You just now lost a patient. You call and leave voicemails every other day. Sorry, but I'm not returning after you being so rude. read more

Dr Mehta, Lita (the dental hygienist) and her staff are phenomenal. I have been to dentists and dental hygienists in Paris, Singapore, South Africa and in NorCal. This is literally the best practice I have ever experienced. No one shoves procedures down your throat. Each and every person is super professional. Kudos to you Dr Mehta. I shall be recommending your practice to many. read more

Thank You Dr. Parul Mehta, DDS  and Staff for your friendly and professional services and giving me a great smile. Letitia & James Senegal read more

Parul Mehta - Thank You Dr. Parul Mehta, DDS and Staff for your friendly and professional services and giving me a great smile. Letitia & James Senegal - General Dentistry Near Me - Temecula, California

I have been in and out of Dr. Mehta's office for several years. The people that work in her office have been there for years as well and I think that speaks volumes of how the office is run as the turnover seems to be low there. The hygienists are great and everyone is so genuinely kind and friendly. It's not stuffy like some dental offices are and I've only had good experiences here. Now that I live in OC it's harder to get to Temecula, but I recently brought my son who is a toddler for a second opinion because I trust and respect Dr. Mehta's opinion and knew she would give me an honest answer and diagnosis for him. I am thankful that I made the trip because she gave good advice and it made me more confident in my decision for my son's treatment. Thank you, Dr. Mehta! read more

This dental practice is a disgrace to the dental profession! To say they overcharge is an understatement!!! Dr Mehta and her staff are nasty human beings! I was ripped off for thousands of dollars and she stold my smile... I will never forgive her for that! I finally have my smile back thanks to an amazing dentist who worked diligently to fix the mess Dr Mehta made of my mouth! DO NOT GO TO this dentist! They do lie about their fees! They are the most dishonest criminals I have ever encountered! I'm traumatized to this day after being humiliated and abused by this office...there are way better dentists in Temecula...don't go through what I went through...run as far away from these people as you can get!!!! read more

I truly enjoy going to the dentist and this was by far my best experience of my life. No exaggeration. The entire staff was so extremely friendly. I felt like I've known them forever. I also had my 2 year old with me and they were SO helpful making sure she stayed calm. Also this cleaning was much better than any cleaning I've ever had. I wish I could give more stars. I HIGHLY recommend going here. I'm transferring the whole family. I felt like they actually cared. read more

I used to like this dentistry. Great hours, clean and modern facility, usually on time. But recently, their customer service has gone down hill and now their integrity. I will no longer use this place based on my most recent experience. Last September I had arrived for a typical cleaning appointment. When I arrived i was coerced into getting a deep cleaning treatment that had been previously recommend. I told the receptionist that the reason I hadn't scheduled the treatment was that I didn't want to pay the $300 plus out of pocket. She advised that the treatment was really needed and I only had to pay $134 for the deep cleaning and doctors semi annual examination. So, reluctantly i let them do it. Last month I received a bill for an additional $153, coincidentally much closer to the $300 originally quoted. So, I called the receptionist and explained the situation. Additionally, I noted charges to my insurance for the examination, for which was NEVER completed. By the time my deep clean was done no one was left to do the examination. I explained that this was insurance fraud and needed to be resolved. She told me she would pass on my concerns to management and I was never called back. Now I am receiving final notices and threats of collection. So I paid my bill but will be following up with a formal notice to my insurance company of this fraudulent activity. I do NOT recommend this dentistry! They have no integrity and are just out for your money. read more

People make sure that when you call and ask if they take your insurance, be specific. Ask if they are in network with your insurance. Because they will eat yes they will take your insurance and the. Start charging you for routine cleanings because you are out of network. Had they clarified this in the beginning I wouldn't have wasted my time with them. Cause let's face it, they aren't that great. It took the X-ray Lady to over 45 mins to do my dental X-rays. I was about to throw up, that's how far she shoved the device in my mouth. She kept saying she has redo it. Then when I asked dr Mehta about bonding for my teeth, she said it's better to get veneers. Like what?! Who has $1000 per tooth to do that? I'm no Hollywood star, just need my teeth to function and not hurt. It's all a business to them, lure "customers" in and tell them you take their insurance and then keep charging them. So desperate! Go somewhere else!! read more

Parul Mehta - Seeing this in the mail today made me mad!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Temecula, California

BEWARE!!!! The office always tries to overcharge for services that either aren't necessary and/or added without consent. They also false advertise their prices. I asked to speak to the manager and they said he's in meetings all day. All day, he's not a dentist he's a manager. That's what a manager is there for to take complaints! The only reason I've stuck around this long is because the hygienists are the best! read more

It's hard for me to give a dentist 5 stars. I mean . . . really . . . who likes to go to the dentist? Not me. I worry about pain. And spending lots of money. And pain. And needles. And did I mention pain? Still, I force myself to go because its better to take care of any problems early. In spite of my trepidation, I have to say that they do a great job here. The staff gets to know you and they are always professional and friendly. Dr Mehta is friendly, caring and does her best to put her patients at ease--even the super chickens like me. I really cannot say she's ever really caused me any pain--in fact, quite the opposite. My experiences here have always been positive. She does excellent work and cares that the patient is satisfied with the work performed. I have marked the practice as "by appointment only" but of course if you have an emergency, she will squeeze you in. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for quality care at a reasonable price. read more

Love Dr Mehta and her staff. She's been taking care of my entire family for over 3 years. Loved my Invisiline results! Also is a kid friendly dentist. read more

I was a patient of dr mehta when I lived in Escondido. She is truly amazing. I had a lot of problems with my teeth (I love chocolate but my teeth does not) She is really caring and very gentle. The office is super clean and modern. I will highly recommend Dr. Mehta to everyone read more

What an amazing experience! The office has a welcoming and family vibe from the moment me and my son have walked in. We were greeted by a front desk professional Iris who made sure that me and my child were comfortable and cozy. Dental Assistant took care of my son, as he was her own. And then, we met Dr. Mehta who was very gentle and professional. I am very thankful for the service and further suggestions regarding my son's dental daily habits. It is easy to get appointments, you don't have to wait for months. I would highly recommend this dental office to everyone who wants to get excellent quality dental care. read more

I made the right choice with Dr. Mehta!!

I would recommend this dental office to anyone for anything ...you won't regret it!!! It was worth every penny I spent ....I finally have my smile back....thank you Dr. Mehta for your time & to all your staff for treating me so well.... read more

I had a similar experience to Douglass B. I would rate them a 0 if I could. This office is extremely unethical and illegal practice. I paid for x-rays, exam, and a teeth cleaning special. I also had a coupon for 20 percent off other work. I asked about this on the phone prior to coming and I was informed that they would honor this. After taking x-rays, I was quoted on paper an enormous charge. A filling had just came out and their office claimed I needed a root canal and crown for approx 2,500.00. While I was in the office, I called my old dentist where I use to live and I was informed that was way too high to pay. At first I asked for the 20 percent off per the coupon I brought in and I was told I couldn't use it along with my teeth cleaning coupon although I was told on the phone that I could. I asked the staff for a copy of the fees they just showed me to I could get a second opinion. Parul refused to give me a copy and so did her staff. When I asked why they said it was office policy. I was also informed that other dentists are inferior to them and basically told me "you get what you pay for." When I said I wanted to buy dental insurance since I was paying cash, I was told I would be wasting my money the time I paid a dedicate and waiting the 6 month waiting period that insurance companies want. This office was total pressure sales! After paying for my x-ray exam and teeth cleaning, the office staff told me I had to sign a piece of paper--after the fact--stating that I agreed to pay a $135.00 fee for another dentist to look out/get a copy of the x-rays I just paid for. Needless to say I did not sign it and the office wouldn't schedule my teeth cleaning that I paid for! This is the first bad review I wrote and this company deserves it! I teach customer service...ethics..etc and I am using this dentist office as an example of what not to do. Do Not Go Here!!!! read more

If I could give more stars I would. I just had a consultation with Dr. Mehta because I was very unsatisfied with my last dentist. Dr. Mehta and the whole office staff were phenomenal. SO friendly and they all made me feel very comfortable the entire time. They answered any questions and helped me resolve any concerns I had. I would recommend any one to go here for dental work. read more

Front desk staff not friendly. Ortho work satisfactory. Beware of unexpected fees or bills in the mail.

I got a recommendation to go to Parul Mehta in Temecula, because it was cheap. But in this case, cheap doesn't buy you what you need or want. I would like my dentist/ ortho to listen to me, at least a little. The way I was treated by Mehta made me feel horrible, I had no say in my treatment, if I did say anything, Mehta's true colors came out. She was way too argumentative, and in the end, I'm only treated with disrespect from her. I got a consult from another doctor in the area, who called the work I had done already, in quotes, "shitty." I'm finally on my way to a perfect smile, Thank goodness for options. read more

Dr. Mehta is the absolute best! I always leave pain free and definitely pleased with her services. She has a beautiful personality and fun humor. I strongly recommend her if you're in search of a dentist. You will NOT regret it! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!! I sat in the dental chair for 3 hours in extreme pain! I just wanted my tooth pulled! They tried to push dental work on me! I kept saying NO, but they were relentless! They finally extracted my tooth, with excruciating pain!! This so called "Dentist" is money hungry, uncaring, cruel and the worst dentist I have been too in my entire life!!!! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE!! I brought my 5 year old daughter in for a check up, she ended up needing a root canal on her back molar, which was unexpected, but I trusted their professional diagnosis. Afterwards, she formed a huge absess which required antibiotics and according to them, another root canal. One of the techs told my daughter to stop being a baby when they were working on her. I was LIVID. A few weeks later she started complaining of severe pain in the tooth pain. I brought her to another pediatric dentist and she told me, they completely destroyed my daughter's tooth, left half the nerve in which is causing the pain, and the absess that formed damaged her gums surrounding the tooth. The dentist also let me know that this is not the first time that she has had to fix Dr. Mehta's mistakes. She has seen at least 4 other children that previously saw Dr. Mehta. I will never recommend this office to anyone. read more
