Plaza Dental Group

If you love going to a used car lot and dealing with a pushy salesman this is the dentist for you.
They try to up sell you on everything. Laser treatments a fancy mouthwash put close to your gums that you absolutely need. It’s ridiculous. Your lucky to get out for under $ 300 a visit. If you turn down the services they request they are rude.
Not to mention high turnover… New people every time you visit.
Stay away!

Had a root canal done by Dr. Dang years ago, it became infected and $ 2000 later, it appears that he left a piece of cotton in there! Thanks for the gift and horrid infection doc.

This place is absolutely horrible! I, my husband, and my daughter have all had bad experiences.
Husband: Went in for a filling, didn’t work. Needed a crown instead, so they refunded the filling. He has been in worse pain since the crown, Dr. Dang then realized the crown was a bit too big. He fixed it. Still in pain. My husband has been there about 8 times since February. Finally, they decide to do a root canal. However, they refuse to credit the amount of the crown, even though it NEVER WORKED. After trying to politely reason with them, I was hung up on by Veronica. Her reasoning was that crowns can turn into root canals. I would understand that if the crown had worked temporarily, but it never did. They are just money hungry.
Me– I have never had a cavity or anything wrong with my teeth. Upon my first cleaning, they were recommending $ 800 worth of dental work! Money hungry!
Then, I received a night guard. The first one was too loose, the second one fit but had to be cut down. They also gave it to me in a ziplock bag. I have always received guards and retainers in cases at other places.
Daughter– I was informed by the pediatrician that she should have her first checkup before age 2, but I needed a referral. Dr. Dang didn’t want to give the referral, and Melissa kept on stating how it’s a waste of time and they won’t even touch her. Well, I finally got the referral despite their attitudes. Guess what? The pediatric dentist not only examined her, but gave her a FULL CLEANING. Then, the pedi dentist requested she come every 3 months for a varnish and 6 months for a cleaning.
Stay away!

Went here last night because my husbands wisdom tooth was Hurting. After what seemed like a 1 min exam it turns out he needs $ 2000 in dental work. Really? The receptionist spent more time with us trying to figure out how we are going to pay for it then how long they spent looking in his mouth! They are in it for the money! Doctor wasn’t very nice either!

I heard of this dental group through word of mouth. This dentist sat down with me and asked about my dental history and concerns. He took my distresses to heart and worked with me to get done what I wanted done. They presented me with a full evaluation of areas of focus & treatment that «we as a team» needed to work on. This evaluation can be misconstrued by many as «trying to up-​sell», but they were dead on w/​their discoveries because this was my 2^nd opinion. Their technology is impressive and their staff amazing. They were courteous, professional and did the right thing for me as a customer/​patient. They’re on the right path in building a lasting relationship with me, because they dealt with my issues from start to finish and they exceeded my expectations. So happy I met them and found a perfect fit! :)

I would also agree with the other negative reviews of this dentist and his staff. My husband and I were looking for a closer dentist then the one we have been going to for years and wanted to give this dentist a try because of their hours. I will never go back to this dentist and it was also my worst dental experience ever! We went in for xrays and a cleaning. The staff tries to upsell you on everything. The hygienist claimed both myself and my husband need deep laser gum treatment (a $ 150 procedure) as well as an at home mouthwash ($ 40) and the dentist claimed we needed crowns replaced and several fillings ($ 2000 of dental work total). Neither one of us had ever had so many things «wrong» with our teeth. I also found it odd that they could complete all the procedures right then. We did decide to take care of our fillings while we were there and the dentist ended up cutting the inside of my mouth with the drill in the middle of the filling and kept working with my cheek bleeding only to tell me after the fact. My husband also never got the teeth cleaning we originally went in for. My husband had to go back a second time because he was in extreme pain from the filling. Overall it was an awful experience.

A+ all around!
I had a better experience at Plaza Dental Group in Murrieta than I have had at any other dentist in Temecula Valley!
Review:
I have had extensive dental work in the last fifteen years and have visited far too many dental offices than I care to remember. Walking into Plaza Dental Group I had expected the same routine I had experienced many times over with new dentists; they start by addressing the lack of quality brushing (which up until about five or six years ago I would semi agree with, seeing as I wasn’t using an electronic tooth brush) and that I needed to floss more. But don’t they practically tell everyone that? As someone who has had; over six root canals, probably double that in crowns, two bridge implants and more cavities than any one person could count, I know it is attributed to the lack of calcium I received as a child (lactose intolerant) as well as the intake of soda and candy when I was not only younger but when I had braces to correct a few things. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will be going to the dentist for the rest of my life practically and would rather not be made to feel like a child being scolded.
Having said that, I was quite pleased to be greeted with an understanding of my unique past, in-​regards to my dental work, by Dr. Nam. Before even starting the exam Dr. Nam inquired into my work and a little about myself, which sparked an enjoyable conversation regarding his daughters recent wedding and my relation to the wedding industry. After that we briefly discussed my previous dental work and then continued to review the best treatment route regarding my current emergency. Dr. Nam then advised me that someone would be in to discuss what my options were for crowns as far what insurance covered. The young lady from the front came and pulled up all my options on the monitor in the exam room and after picking the most affordable option I signed the appropriate consent forms with the electronic pen and pad. Dr. Nam returned a short while later and proceeded to numb the area around my effected tooth. After a short prick he then allowed the Novocain to take effect before shooting my gums with more. I have never in my extensive dental history had anyone do that. Usually they just put a cotton swab, which has a little of the numbing cream on it, in between your gums and the interior of your lip before injecting any Novocain. Personally I do feel that really ever seem to help at all. The rest of the procedure was not only quick but painless. By the time I left the appointment my mouth had almost regained all feeling and I booked a follow up appointment.
I left with an overall sense of comfort which you rarely get at a dental office, if ever. The entire experience was very enjoyable given the circumstances.
In regards to the dental office in general; the interior was spacious and clean. I really enjoyed the advanced computer system in place which expedited the x-​ray process, review of insurance options as well as the appointment system, which I utilized prior to my appointment. The entire office staff was also courteous, informative and professional.
Overall I cannot stop saying good things about Plaza Dental and I would/​will refer their office to family and friends. I also plan on having my father right a review as soon as possible since he was the one that referred me in the first place. ;)

This group is all about sell sell sell… got a second opinion about the Deep cleaning I had to have… NOT!
