Just had dental surgery yesterday with Dr. Michael and I can’t praise him enough. I have had a lot of dental work done in my life and don’t really get nervous when I have to come in but yesterday I was anxious as this was my first extensive surgery but the Dr put me at ease immediately. He is friendly, professional and thorough in all ways. We thought I might lose two teeth once he got into my gums but he was able to save both of them! I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a good Periodontist. The office staff are extremely friendly and remember who you are - I love that feeling. Thank you Gentle Dental for helping fix years of bad dental work and starting me on the road to a healthier mouth. Not so nervous about getting a few implants now!

I love going to the dentist at Gentle Dental, Moreno Valley; knowing that their staff is going to greet me with a smile and make me feel special. My family and I have been going to Gentle Dental Moreno Valley for 16 years and I would not change and highly recommend this office. You will get the best treatment with a caring heart. They know my kids and grandkids personally and always remember their names and care for them. Dr. Yudi Tedjakusnadi (Dr. Ted) is wonderful and so kind hearted and takes the time to explain and go over any procedures, so you feel comfortable. He is funny, pleasant and cares for your health and always asks about my family, as if they were his own and ensures that we are getting our regular checkups. The staff is amazing and go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and provide a thorough review for your treatment and next steps to ensure you understand and you are comfortable.

I've had nothing but great experiences in the 2 and a half years that I've been going. The staff is very friendly and professional. They had a raffle and won a pretty nice Oral B tooth brush set. I've build relationships with some of the staff and absolutely love Angela. I Love this place and reccomend to everyone.

I went in to see Dr. Ted he is AMAZING I'm not a fan of going to the Dentist but I wash having severe tooth pain. Love that when I was seen I now that I had other teeth issue but he was like lets address one at time.

I've had nothing but good experiences here. The doctor is nice, funny, and knowledgeable. The dental assistant is friendly, warm, and caring. The hygienist does a thorough job in cleaning teeth and takes her time to do a good job. I thought I had an appointment today, but that was not the case. A bit odd. They offered the next earliest appointment, and that did not work out for me. They could have just said, "sorry" and be done with it, however, they were able to squeeze me in! Thank you, thank you!! From previous reviewers: yes they do offer other services that may not be covered by your insurance, such as irrigation and fluoride treatment, but remember those are optional services which you can decline. Speak to your hygienist and dentist. I've had a time where my gums were being pulled away from my teeth and the irrigation was recommended by the dentist and hygienist so I said yes to that. But other times when my gums are healthy, I decline the service.

BEST DENTIST IVE EVER BEEN TO & my entire life. I'm 52, and they take care of all your needs and work with you on the finances! If I can give them a scale from 1 to 10, it would be a "50!" Virtually no pain, just a poke from the numbing, and you leave there happier than u did when u first arrived. I suggest everyone go here! U won't be dissatisfied and the doctor is soooooo nice, and sings and hums during procedure. So relaxing! Luv u Dr. Ted! ��
