East Murrieta Dental Group and Orthodontics

Previous to getting 12 teeth worked on (everything from root canals to fillings) I had gotten 6 quotes from various dental offices in the area. I received quotes from as much as 22k for implants to 3k for a partial denture and another 3k for other work. All but 2 offices said that 6 of my teeth had to be removed. East Murrieta Dental Group not only said they could save my teeth but did so at a cost considerably lower than any others.
Cost isn’t the only consideration however. From the moment I stepped into the office and was greeted by the staff I felt welcome and comfortable. The lobby and exam rooms were all clean which I think is important.
When finances did come into play, Anna was fantastic and very familiar with my dental insurance and got me the best possible work with my coverage. Dr «Espy» was great with the explanation of what was being done and Loraina and Adrian were great assitants. Never did I feel degraded or was I talked down to for having such horrible teeth, I felt concern and understanding. A sincere thank you to everyone including Melissa and Nicole at the front desk for giving me back my smile!

The «Queen Team» exist at the East Murrieta Dental Group and Orthodontics!
If you have not visited this special Dental Group you are truly missing something.
As my wife and I walked in the front door, one special Queen Team welcomed us! She is truly special, great customer service skills, great appearance, beautiful smile but what would you expect at this special Dental Group.
And what did we see behind her, four other «Queen Team» members!
Wow, what a team, we love all of these Queen experts in their fields. Each one of them have a beautiful smile and tremendously professional customer service skills! Can there be more?
I would not expect any other «Queen Team» members but I would be wrong. Here comes the Dental Hygentist, another Queen Team that has a beautiful smile. This Queen Team member also possess a superior amount of dental skills with the gentle touch that would not wake a baby. Where do all of these Queen Team come from, I certainly don’t know, but wake a moment, now I am escorted from the dental chair by yet another «Queen Team» member that takes my ex-​rays. Ms. Laura, probably spelled wrong, normally works else way but is capable of being a jump here, jump there skilled professional. She could be a Fire Fighter Ex-​ray Technician! Great knowledge and skills, plenty of superior customer service skills and superior personality. Could there be another Queen on the team, if so I did not see them, but what I did see was the King of all Dental Doctors, Doctor Espeleta. This King of all doctors is loaded with gentle care customer service skills and the superior knowledge of all Dental Doctors.
However, who puts this Queen Team plus the Dental Doctor King together? None other than another King, the King of Management, Mr. Mark. He monitors and manages by walking around and motivates the over all teeam. He is extremely calm and has a great relationship with the entire Queen Team and the King of All Dental Doctors. Mr. Mark insures that the entire area is completely clean and ready for all emergencies and customer needs.
My wife and I have been attending East Murrieta Dental Group and Orthodontics for 3 years.
We have had some minor as well as major dental issues and had no regrets with anything.
I would love to have some of my friends that read this give this dental group a try.
Semper Fi,

Due a change in insurances, I had to find a new dentist. Being relatively new to the area, I did a Unilocal search and found Dr. Espeleta and this group to be highly rated in the Murrieta/​Temecula area. I have now had two visits to this office, first for a twice-​annual standard cleaning and check-​up and then for a proactive removal of very old fillings which were replaced with updated materials. Dr. Espeleta recommended this to save the expense of a crown or even a root canal in the future. I agreed. He was very in tune to my anxieties and pain level and took care to explain each thing to me, before and during all procedures.
Their equipment is updated, the office could use a little facelift (couldn’t we all), their prices are quite reasonable, their location and accessibility very good. But the main reason for the 5 stars is the doctor and his employees: they are all friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and caring.
There were a couple of blips on my first appointment but all was explained and my second went smoothly. I will be back! :-D

I had canceled an appointment with a dentist in the area because when I had talked to them about the cost for first time patient checkup, x-​rays and cleaning she told me it would be $ 350.
I canceled and called East Murrieta Dental Group. The online paperwork was fast and easy, having it done before I had gone in was great. I was greeted with such warmth and everyone was happy and smiling when I first walking to the office. Wow what a why to make someone feel a ease about going to a dentist. I did not have a long wait to be seen. Dr. Espeleta was wonderful he really listen and cares about what I had to say. He had great chair-​side manner. I wish I was better with name I would have love to mentioned each one, because I just could not be-​leave how friendly they all are.
I told my friend who had referred to the first dentist (you know the one that what $ 350.) about my experience at East Murrieta Dental Group and that it was only $ 59. My Friend asked me if I had one of Dr. Espeleta cards.
I was so glad I had canceled the appointment was the other dentist. Got better care and saved money

My first visit and definitely not my last, because I couldn’t be happier with the exceptional care provided! I have to admit I was nervous about going to the dentist after longer than I care to post, but as soon as I walked into the lobby and saw the smiling faces of the front office staff I started to feel better and more relaxed. My front filling had almost completely come off and I needed a repair before I was left with a huge gap and the fear to smile. I’m ALL smiles now! Everything was explained to me in detail. from the time Adrian X-​rayed my mouth and I saw the pictures of the damaged I had incurred (opening a pistachio with my teeth-​bad idea) without judgement and only kind words, to the actual repair by Dr Espeleta who was the most professional and had the best touch when giving me the dreaded local anesthetic (no pain!!!). Needless to say I feel fabulous and I can’t believe how affordable it was, and all the payment options offered. Best experience I’ve had and I will be back for more work, and fearless!!! No more neglecting my teeth or gums! Thank you sooo much!!!

I came here for a couple of years before my company changed their insurance provider and had to find another office. But I wish I didn’t have to change because both the staff, assistants and Dentist are really great here! The dentist is very personable and remembered what I do for a living and stuff like that! I’ve had my wisdom teeth for as long as I can remember and known they’re causing a little bit of overcrowding but he also let me know, without any pressure, that it a good idea to pull them because my gums are a bit inflamed and the only thing keeping the cavities and complications at bay is my impeccable oral care at home. I didn’t end up getting it done, but it’s something I’m saving up for and I really appreciated the way he brought it up, not pressuring me but giving me info to make a good decision. Overall, though, the staff is great, the assistance personable and considerate and dentist very helpful and personable!

Sad but I won’t go back to them after today. The front counter staff always seemed a little rude, but since Doc. Espeleta and the hygienist were always nice and professional I looked past it. After today though the customer service was so rude that I canceled my appointment and left.

At first I was a little skeptical about having my teeth done. Until I spoke to the people there. They comforted and assured me that Dr. Espeleta was one of the best they have and that I would be in great hands. Sure enough the day of my appointment everything went so well. They made sure I was doing good through my procedures. They walked every step through with me and at the end of the day I was satisfied that everything turned out good. Everyone asked me if I was ok and told my husband he would have to baby me until my pain goes away lol. I would definitely recommend this Dental Group to others. I will be back here for further dentist needs. Thank you East Murrieta Dental Group!

I have now been to this business twice.
The first time I visited it was for a check up for my first time in a few years. The doctor took time to talk to me in her office to get to know me and understand where I’m at in terms of oral maintenance. That was followed up with a complete check up and periodontal cleaning.
The second time I was given a routine check up and a periodontal maintenance cleaning.
My experience during both visits was outstanding. The staff were outgoing and personable. They made me feel at home and like I’ve known them for years. Having visited multiple dentist offices in the past, I would say they go far above and beyond what you may be used to expecting from a business in the industry.
In regards to service quality, both of my periodontal cleanings took around 25 to 35 minutes to complete. The oral hygienist did a superb job using multiple methods to thoroughly clean my teeth and gum pockets.
The doctors I was advised by offered consultations and services based on my current hygiene health, but it was up to me as to whether or not I wanted to schedule them. They weren’t pushy as I’ve seen from other offices.
In conclusion, this is one of the best businesses I have visited in the Inland Empire, and highly recommend them.

Great experience. Usually I am pretty skeptical about going to the dentist or choosing the right one. Stumbled across this place based off the reviews and some references and I definitely made the right choice. Very nice staff, very educational on each process and they have top-​of-​the-​line equipment. Would definitely recommend this to all.

The staff is super friendly and I think that’s the ONLY reason people give this place good reviews. This dentist is all about MONEY! they don’t care about helping you at all. Prices are so insane I don’t know who in the right kind would pay that. And they over charge for literally everything.

I’ve been going to east murrieta dental group for 16 months, at first I was happy with them. But as time has gone by I’ve come to realize that it’s not about the patient it’s about the money. I had my upper teeth removed and had full dentures and a partial on the bottom. From day one the dentures and partial have not fit. On the partial I complained it was tearing under my tongue Dr. Espeleta told me if they fixed it it would not fit. On my top dentures when I got them they were made wrong, Dr. Espeleta said look at my teeth there supposed to look this way. I told him I had an over bite and wanted to look natural. The second time they were made they were made wrong again this time I looked like the Cheshire Cat off Alice and wonder land. again I complained and the dentist got mad.. He got upset with me. They made new ones which has never fit right. Every time I complained Dr. Espeleta would get upset with
one point he said its your family that don’t like the teeth why don’t you bring them in next time. At one point Dr. Espeleta wanted me to drive to Santa Ana to there lab because of I wasn’t happy with the dentures. I told him I wouldn’t. I had an appointment yesterday may 4 2015 told them to fix the dentures again was told that they couldn’t fix them and to use denture adhesive. He kept asking me what I wanted and kept saying I need them to fit they fall out with eating even a tuna fish sandwich, and have to eat soft foods. Told him my temporary dentures fit a lot better. Then he said to come back in a couple hours with them. Dr. Espeleta then said the only way to have tight fitting is to have implants. Again money is the answer. I got upset and said to the assistant I wasn’t coming back. As I was leaving I saw one of the girls from the front office and told her what Dr, Espeleta said and wanted to talk to mark. She took me in a room to wait for mark. He came in and I told him what’s been going on he said the same thing. Says some people fit and some don’t. Implants are the only way to go. At $ 40,000.00 I’m not rich. And besides we talked about it before we had my teeth pulled. He knew we couldn’t do it. Like I said its all about the money. He told me to calm down and come back the next day. I’m warning everyone beware there not for the patient there all about screwing people out of there hard earned money. I plan on contacting my insurance company to let them know and also noticed when the insurance company sent me the bills they charged for things that were not performed. I’ve given them over $ 5,000.00, but they still want more for crappie service. BEWARE if your wanting to throw your hard earned money for bad dentistry go to East Murrieta Dental Group. I’m also looking into what I can do legally because I’d give back the dentures and go somewhere else to get my dentures.

Been going here for over 2 years now. Crowns, cleanings and even an implant. I have NEVER left a review for a dental place cause I suck and even showing up, but these guys rock. No issues at all. Mark who i think runs the place has his stuff together — along with the hygienists, dentist and the girls at the front. A+A+ all around

Our family has been very happy with the Staff at East Murrieta Dental Group. I have always had a good experience there and they have recently worked out an amazing Payment Plan that works great with our budget! My wife has received excellent care recently and our College aged daughter will be receiving care next month.
Very Happy!

As a new patient, I called to schedule and appointment and the receptionist was so friendly and efficient. They even had an opening later that afternoon. I was sent a questionnaire via email to avoid having to fill out all of that new patient paperwork at the time of my appointment. Once I arrived, I was greeted by another receptionist who was equally as friendly as the one I’d spoken to on the phone. After signing a few papers, I was seen promptly. Dr. Espeleta was great, very friendly and explained everything clearly. I’d previously seen another dentist, at a different practice, who I felt was trying to up sell me like a used car salesman. Dr. Espeleta treated me conservatively, and gave me multiple treatment options for the two things I needed to attend to. The woman who went over my insurance coverage and payment options was just as excellent as the rest of the staff. She had a payment summary ready for me within 5 minutes and went over all payment options clearly, while providing me with information regarding their multiple payment plans. I never felt pressured to go in any certain direction, which I definitely appreciated. Once I agreed on a four month payment plan (@ 0% Interest), the procedure immediately took place. The Dr. was attentive to my pain level and kept me informed throughout the entire procedure. The remainder of the appointment went just as smoothly as the beginning. All in all, as a new patient I had an appointment within 4 hours of calling, and was in and out of the office within 2.5 hours which included a cleaning and two procedures. I would certainly recommend Dr. Espeleta and East Murrieta Dental Group.

I discovered this office about 8 to 10 years ago. The staff is friendly, very professional and I am not made to wait. I went to them because I did not believe I needed an expensive whole mouth deep cleaning. I did not, I needed a deep cleaning of 1 tooth. I love them. Not only do they take care of my dental needs, but they also help me with donations of oral care to my ditty bags for Veterans.

I can never get her last name right but Dr. Buki (her first name) was AWESOME! She’s so personable. She explained what she was doing when she was working on my teeth. She didn’t treat me like I was just another patient. I love the staff here. The benefit coordinator could work on her understanding the patients financial situation some more but everyone else is great! I had a filling fall out Monday night and I left a message on their website. Someone called me back around 20 minutes later with an appointment the next morning. I expected my appointment to last a long time since they were fitting me in but that wasn’t the case. I never felt rushed. *This office, the staff and my new dentist make the whole going to the dentist experience painless*

Horrible!!! Don’t waste your money. After finding a new dentist we discovered that our teeth were not anywhere near as bad as they said and the procedure we had totaling over $ 1000 was completely unnecessary. I had stains on my teeth they said would never come off. The hygienist at our new office removed them without a problem as a part of my regular cleaning. Beware, a good cleaning lasts at least 45 – 1 hr 15 min. Not the barely 20 min they give you.

Many thanks to Dr. Buki Boluro-​Ajayi of East Murrieta Dental Group! She helped my husband who had a fear of Dentists for the longest time and as a result, stayed away from seeing one for years! Well, one day he began to have the toothache of his life and knew he needed to be seen. We went to see Dr. Buki and she helped put his fears at ease, thoroughly explained the services needed and did a spectacular job with the extractions and root canals. She had good bedside manners and showed empathy and compassion on the follow-​up calls when she checked on my husband afterwards. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the IE looking for good service :-)

These guys have some of the best and latest dental technology available. They also have experts on staff to handle every complex cases. Their hygienist, Natalie, is GREAT. She jokes, isn’t judgmental, cares about making sure you feel zero pain, and remembers everything about your previous visits including details that aren’t written down in your record. I’ve met all of the doctors on staff here and can speak similarly about them. Great people.
