The VA referred me to Sun City Dentistry, but after my experience, I would strongly recommend…read moreveterans ask to be sent somewhere else. My treatment for a crown turned into 5-6 appointments because the crown repeatedly came back from the lab without fitting properly. It was even permanently cemented once, only to be removed the same day because it didn't fit correctly. Every visit meant removing the temporary crown, numbing my extremely sensitive tooth, and starting over. After months of this, I lost confidence in the quality of care and chose to have the work completed elsewhere. When I later returned through the VA for a completely different issue, a receding gum, I was surprised by how I was treated. Instead of addressing the reason for my visit, the dentist became visibly upset that I had my crown work completed by another provider. She spoke to me in a way that felt more like I was being scolded than treated as a patient, because I went somewhere else. She refused to examine or treat the issue I came in for and told me she wouldn't touch my teeth because another dentist had completed the work. I also asked if she would communicate with the dentist who completed my treatment so they could compare records or discuss any concerns. She refused, and the front desk was no help in trying to resolve the situation. To make matters worse, it took nearly an hour just to complete my X-rays during that visit, and the images weren't very clear. I later had new X-rays taken by the dentist who completed my treatment, and they confirmed my teeth were fine. The only issue was the receding gum I originally came in to have evaluated. I also experienced problems when I needed emergency root canals. I was told I had to wait weeks for VA approval, but the VA dentists at Loma Linda later informed me that emergency treatment could have been provided first and billed to the VA afterward. That misinformation left me in unnecessary pain. I was always patient and respectful throughout my treatment. My experience with the office changed after I sought treatment from another dentist. When I returned for an unrelated issue, I felt I was treated differently because I had gone elsewhere to complete my dental work. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this office, especially to fellow veterans who rely on VA referrals.

I was being charged for a procedure I never had done, and I was gaslighted when I asked for any bill, break down of the cost, or even explanation over the amount I originally owed. Each email contained a different person responding with a different amount, and then the only document they had on file with my signature was from over 2 years ago, for a bill I had already paid. I was left on hold for over 45 minutes, and once the staff member got back to me, she would repeatedly state that her computer closed the tab on my account and she needed to go back in and open it, which resulted in another 10 minutes of being on hold each time! It seemed intentionally designed to get me to hang up. I usually disregard online reviews as a place for extreme opinions, but this was honestly absurd. If I had not stood my ground, I would be paying over 5k for a procedure I never had done, or needed had I not been paying attention. Stay away!

The customer service is amazing -- everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and professional. A few times they've even remembered me when I came in, which made me feel really valued as a patient. The office is always super clean, organized, and very neat, which I really appreciate. It makes the whole experience feel comfortable and stress-free. My dental hygienist, Lauren, is amazing! She always does such a great job and is so kind -- I genuinely look forward to seeing her every visit. I also love that they play movies while you're waiting or during your cleaning -- it's such a nice touch and makes the time go by faster. Parking is right next to Starbucks, so there are only a few spots, but I've always been able to find parking without any problem. Overall, I highly recommend Menifee Lakes Dental Group for anyone looking for great care in a clean, friendly environment!

After my disappointing experience at MLDG, I sought treatment from another dentist for teeth #20 and #19. Tooth #20: In October 2025, I received a root canal and the tooth was prepared for a crown. My dental records contain no notes indicating that I might need an implant. Dr. Malik told me the procedure was successful and that the tooth was ready for the permanent crown, stating it should last for years. However, after seeking a second opinion, I was told that tooth #20 lacks sufficient structure and that I need an implant. I have since been referred to a prosthodontist for further evaluation and continued work. Tooth #19: there was decay on this tooth, and Dr. Malik recommended an onlay, which I proceeded with in October 2025. However, the second dentist determined that the tooth actually required a crown, which I ultimately had placed with them. Based on this, the onlay that Dr. Malik did was unnecessary.

Once last year, and once today (it has been months since I typed this up). I have been looking for another dentist that takes my insurance but the few local ones I have called don't take my insurance, so I decided to give this place another shot. The reasons I didn't want to come back were because of the dentist and because this office would not stop calling me to make an appointment. To the point where it was not helpful or caring, but honestly just annoying. I kept telling them I will call and schedule. Then they would call me regarding my husband's appointments... and one time they even made him an appointment that he wasn't aware of. Anyway, none of that would keep me from going back... the problem to me is that the dentist seems to rush, is a bit aggressive (I have never told someone to stop the cleaning except her), and is kind of ... how should I say it politely ... insensitive. She was not only in quite a hurry while cleaning my teeth pretty aggressively and making rude comments when I would tell her to stop because she was hurting me, but she was also pretty rude towards her staff. Specially the new guy. I felt bad for him... but anyway this review has been in my drafts and I am finally posting my drafts because I am so tired of supporting businesses that do not deserve my support. Hope this helps someone.
