After reading some reviews, I felt compelled to share my experience at Talega Dental. I have never had much luck with my teeth and and had a lot of dental work in the past. I heard about this office through a friend and I found out they took my insurance, so I made an appointment. I wasnt expecting much based on my past experiences, but my friend had nice things to say, so I tried to have an open mind. I was pleasantly surprised when the day before my appointment i received a reminder call to confirm. The girl on the phone was so pleasant it put me at ease. I arrived at the office and was cheerfully greeted and given some papers to fill out. I had not even finished when an assistant came and took me inside. Wow, no waiting, so far so good. The staff was very friendly and answered all of my questions ( I tend to ask a lot of questions). Soon the doctor came in and checked my teeth. He explained to me what he saw and then he took photos of my teeth so I could see what he was talking about. I did have a few problems , but after seeing the pictures and listening to the doctor's explanation, I felt comfortable. Next, A treatment coordinator came in and wasnt at all like the other reviews describe. She explained to me what the doctor had recommended and what my insurance would cover and how much I would have to pay. I knew insurance doesn't pay for everything, so it was no surprise that I might have to spend some money. I felt the fees were reasonable. I was again surprised when I was told they could start my work that visit. I get nervous so this was ideal. The doctor that did my work was quite gentle and very thorough in explaining what he was doing. Overall I had a great experience and left the office feeling I made a good choice for my new dentist. I would recommend Talega to anyone looking for a new dental office that actually treats you like you a valued patient and takes the time to make you feel comfortable and understand your dental needs.
Pros: friendly and efficient, gentle
Cons: office is a bit hard to find
