And he didn't even use laughing gas either He actually gets Jealous when his sister goes to the dentist without him Today my 4 year old got her cavity fixed and she was all smiles the entire time. I will never stop coming here! Thank you soooooo much!!!! I haven't wrote any reviews in a while but this experience was soooo mind blowing, I had to share so that other parents looking for a new dentist could rest assure that your child will be in good hands with Dr. Tali and her staffs read more

I would highly recommend Toothbuds to any friends and family. Dr. Tali and Dr. Mae are very knowledgeable and amazing with kids! When my daughter had her first cavity, Dr. Tali made the entire remedy process so smooth and quick. Lastly, I want to give a proper compliment to their staff, particularly Araceli. She is always so kind and accommodating. Thank you Toothbuds for your warmth and attentive care for our little ones! read more

Dr. Tali has changed our outlook on dentistry 100%. Her & her team made my daughter feel so at ease after years of fear. She had an extraction and did not cry or freak out, didn't even realize what was happening. The staff is so friendly & helpful. This is our place now. We couldn't recommend it more! We are happy with the quality of care here. read more

We love Toothbuds and Dr. Tali so much. She's so good at what she does and has just the best bedside manner with the kids. This place came highly recommended from a friend and we're so glad that we found it because it truly is a joy to come to the dentist for not only the kids but also for me (since they are so excited to go). Everyone I have come across here is really friendly and warm, professional and throw in their jobs. I also love getting text reminders about appointments that we have scheduled. I also love that they are thorough but don't shame parents for a little little bit of plaque or whatever (my kids are young so I still help them brush their teeth after they take their turns). We even drive from across town to come here because it's that good. Highly recommend trying it out for your kids. read more

Would be great if the technicians would wear their masks over their mouths and nose instead of tucking below their nose, this defeats the purpose of wearing a mask. Generally a good office otherwise. read more

Extremely rude staff and poor quality. Refused to service my daughter discriminatorily! BEWARE!!!

The office and staff were wonderful, however -- when we called and asked if they were in network with our insurance, they said YES. What they failed to mention is that they have a "Premiere" contract with our insurance company, meaning instead of covering 100% of the cost of a cleaning as other in-network dentists, they only cover 75%, which would have been the same coverage as an out-of-network check-up. We brought our 2 year-old in for her first check-up and she was -- as most toddlers are visiting the dentist for the first time -- upset. They weren't able to clean her teeth with the typical instrument, so they did a quick 10 second toothbrush/toothpaste clean and quickly rubbed some on fluoride. That cost us $110 plus a $50 co-pay. I wish their office would understand that when people typically ask "Are you in network?" it's because they are trying to be financially-conscious. I'm hoping in the future they are more transparent when potential new patients ask this question because we felt very misled. read more

Great job. Thank you Dr. Tehrani and the team for handling our little one with care and professionalism. We plan to return to this dental office. Good vibes all around. read more

We had a fantastic experience for my daughter's first dental visit. She is 2 years old and at the recommendation of her pediatrician we scheduled her first dental visit. The front office staff emailed new patient forms quickly and verified our insurance prior to our visit. There is a huge aquarium in the waiting room. My daughter loved watching the huge fish swim around. We were immediately called back, and the dental chairs face the same aquarium. There are flatscreen TVs and the children watch Disney+ movies, while the dentist works on their teeth. The dental tech and dentist took great care to make sure the visit was a positive one for my daughter. At the end of the visit she picked a toy from a high value toy wall! Great experience 10/10 read more

I LOVE Toothbuds, but more importantly my 7 year old loves going there. Dr. Mae and all the staff at the office were very helpful and very professional. It's very clean and kid friendly. I highly recommend taking your child there for their dental care. read more

Staff was rude and dismissive when asked questions. The info we received vs the info the insurance got was different. When asked to speak to the dentist via phone the front office bushed off the request and did not seem to care to keep a patient. The level of compassion, respect and understanding was not shown by the office. All they knew how to ask for was for money! read more

Coming back here once again to let the public know to NEVER COME HERE. Please! Do not make the mistake of trusting the so called "care and quality service" of this place. Absolutely horrible head dentist who has no intention on making his patients feel at all comfortable read more

Dr.Tahli, Thank you so very much for your patience, kindness and understanding with my special needs daughter. Whether and emergency or a regular check up and cleaning you and your staff are absolutely amazing. You help us to be comfortable and welcome each time we visit. Thank you again for all of your help, we appreciate your staff and services and we are so glad to have you in our community. Simply the best. read more

Took my 13 month old son for his first visit. The dental assistant and dentist put my sons (and my) nerves at ease. They took time to talk with us and go over new teeth coming in, and d natal care. We have our appointment booked for six months. read more

Every ***** Yelp review is dead on. This place is magical and made a tooth extraction in a 5 year old a fun experience. Both my kids were on cloud 9 after their teeth cleaning. Plus the toy box is legit. Highly recommend! read more

We cannot give more than one star to a dentist who recommended that my little girl go UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA (as in having us see her lifeless body) for filling cavities, which 3 other dentists whom we consulted after Dr. Tali all confirmed she did not need to go under general anesthesia to fill my child's cavities. They all said laughing gas would be sufficient, if anything. This is tremendously disconcerting to say the least. If you're told that your child needs to go under to get his or her cavities filled by Dr. Tali, I urge you as a fellow parent, to get a second opinion. Honestly.. what dentist can't do good dental work if the child patient is lifeless?? I wish all pediatric dentists out there would always put the child's health and well-being first and foremost before the dentists' comfort and ease of doing the dental work on a lifeless body. Going under general anesthesiology for dental work should be the ultimate last resort. Not something to be thrown about so readily. I hope this helps other families out there. I must include however how awesome the dental staff is. But at the end of the day, it's the dentist's work and the consequences of her recommendations that your child and your family will be living with. read more

Amazing, experience with my five year old. The staff and the ambiance is perfect for any child. I can't stay enough positive things about the overall experience. The staff goes above and beyond to ease any possible fears. My child can't wait to go back in six months. Thank you, for making the process not stressful for either of us. read more

I totally understand the 5 star reviews now! Everyone at the office was awesome and made our 2 year olds first dentist appointment a huge success!! Dr Tali was amazing and set our daughter up for having a good relationship with oral hygiene and no fear with dental visits!!! Watching Peppa while they cleaned her teeth and the prizes at the end were a perfect touch! I'd recommend this office to everyone! read more

WOW! I'm always skeptical when going to the dentist. I've heard those horror stories about dentists taking advantage of parents for money, while traumatizing children with pain. Tooth Buds is NOT that at all! I was able to get an appointment for about a week or so later with no issues. I really appreciate that the receptionist was polite and patient. Fast forward to our appointment: When my littles walked into the dentist office their nerves were at ease just by looking around the waiting room filled with kids stuff. They were given a book to flip through to pick out a movie to watch as they got their teeth examined. I was able to sit in the hallway and look into both rooms as both my littles got their teeth examined and cleaned. Both hygienists were very nice and patient with my littles. My 8 year has Asperger's Syndrome, so I was already on edge in anticipation of how his check up would go. It went so great! So great that he's already ready for his next appointment because "Jasmine was so beautiful and nice." I'm just so happy with this whole experience. I think we found our new pediatric dentist. Thank you so much and see you in June Dr Tali! read more

This is a gem of a dental office. I am a dentist myself, and even previously worked at a pediatric dental office, yet I am so happy I found toothbuds. Dr. Tali is one of the best pediatric dentists around. She was great with my 5 year old daughter who had very large cavities. Most other dentists would have recommended lots of work, however, Dr. Tali got all the decay out quickly and conservatively. She is truly a one of a kind dentist! read more

I wanna say by far,as an adult .. the second time I visit,the best team of Dentistry.I highly recommend toothbuds very clean and professional. read more

I loved this place all I did was sign in they took me right in They are friendly and super nice read more

we had our first visit today and my 3 year old did so well! They are handling Covid very well by having patients call when you arrive and Then let you know when it's ok to come inside. Upon entry, there are temperature checks and hand sanitizer. everyone was so friendly and welcoming. they explain everything prior to doing it so my son knew what was coming. dr. tali addressed all my concerns and showed me exactly what needed to be done to keep my son's teeth healthy and cavity-free. my son was thrilled to take a prize home after his visit and said he enjoyed going to the dentist! read more

I love dr. Tali. I'm so sad we changed insurances to an hmo and my kids won't be able to see her anymore. She is honest, kind, and gentle and her office staff are kind as well. Highly recommend her. Having an honest dentist is important and she really is that. read more

Dr. Tali is AMAZING! My 2 year old son had a very pleasant visit! She made him feel comfortable and spoke to us in Spanish which was great! The entire staff was very helpful and pleasant!! I have already recommended several friends and family members. However, I must say the only thing I did not like was all the stairs for a pediatric office! As soon as you open the door, you're forced to walk up a long flight of stairs. Not sure how stroller/handicap access is handled. I did notice construction was going on downstairs. I'm hoping they are moving the pediatric department downstairs for safety reasons. read more

After visiting Toothbuds Dentistry, I was extremely satisfied with their friendly staff and commitment to care. My daughter's first word when she walked in to the office was, "Wow!" There were plenty of books for her to read and lots of stuffed animals for her to cuddle! This is important because it truly helped ME to calm down...(since it was my daughter's first visit to the dentist). Dr. Tali is the best! She has a very calm demeanor. She gave me great suggestions to help maintain my daughter's teeth healthy. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and plan to go back. read more

The Dentists are very friendly, but the staff had half smiles and did not seem to care to have my business. On our third scheduled visit-- they called and cancelled. On the fourth scheduled visit, their office was closed. No one gave me a call to let me know, which was very frustrating considering I had planned my morning around the visit only to be disappointed. I'm not sure how other pediatric Dentist operate, but laughing gas, and other procedures are extra-- way extra. The office is very old and has a musty smell. I think they may have a mold problem somewhere. I wouldn't have mentioned it except for how I was treated. I guess if they don't care for you they just keep cancelling on you. read more

Im so happy I found toothbuds pediatric Dentisttu Dr.Tali is very sweet and caring my kids love her . all her staff are very kin :) read more

I've been bringing my daughter here since she turned 2. The waiting are is great, they have a tv, toys, and a lot of books. My daughter really liked the movie selection and the toys that she got to pick after the visit. My last visit was the very last time I brought her here. Now don't get me wrong, dr Tali was wonderful as usual, but her assistant that was performing the dental cleaning on my daughter was ridiculous. All started well but I noticed that she was been a bit forceful while polishing my daughter's upper teeth and she started to pull back and want to close her mouth but she was able to finish that part. When wanting to now polish the lower teeth, my daughter was refusing to open her mouth and the assistant started to get visibly upset, sighed, pushed her char back and left the room, without a word. Now, this is a pediatric dentist and my kid had just turned 3, aren't you supposed to be better prepared than this in order to work with small children? Comes in Dr Tali and she was marvelous, she talked to my child (something that the assistant didn't bother to try), got her some princess stickers, showed her a mirror and was able to polish, floss, and finish the consultation without a problem. And this is why this place gets 3 stars. It's not a cheap place and I honestly didn't mind paying $170 for a regular cleaning as long as my daughter was comfortable, but I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

Dr Tali is one of the most patient, genuinely caring, and skilled professionals I have ever encountered. We went to Dr Tali for my son's three year dental check up. She was so good at easing everyone in and making it a fun experience. Unfortunately, my son had several cavities. One of those cavities was quite deep, and may have been a root canal, but she couldn't tell before she got into the tooth. She suggested using just laughing gas and not putting him under anesthesia, which I appreciated. After the procedure was done, throughout which she was fairly quick and her staff was very helpful and good, my son was having a lot of sensitivity which we feared was a potential root canal. Dr Tali called me several times to check in, gave me her cell, and even went through great lengths to try to line things up so that first thing the next week we could do the root canal. She even opened her office on a Sunday morning to take a closer look at him. I really cannot say enough great things about her and her staff. Highly recommend! read more

Really happy with them! I brought both my toddlers and I was worried they would cry and tantrum ... but it was quite the opposite. They absolutely loved the experience. They did an amazing job explaining everything they did. They first showed , let my kids feel each instrument on their hand first, and then used it in their mouths. They had a movie (of their choice) on, and the kids got a toy at the end. Basically, my kids can't wait to go back! Win! read more

I love this place! It was my daughter's first time coming to the dentist and she enjoyed her experience. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I will be bringing my daughter here from now on. read more

Everyone is so amazing here. I'm so happy I have found Toothbuds. Dr. Tehrani's is so sweet. Even when I have mommy guilt she makes me feel ok which is a nice plus.

I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist. read more

Dr. Tali and her staff are simply the best! She's patient, soft spoken, and sincerely cares about her little patients. As a mother who's son has autism, I highly recommend her for these very reasons. I wouldn't take my son anywhere else. read more

The best!! Our 2 year old and 5 year old love Toothbuds! They are so great with kids. We are so grateful that we found them.

Dr. Tali took my call off hours and minutes after my daughter had fallen face first onto the floor and had landed on her two front teeth (you can imagine my panic). We had never met Dr. Tali before, but she still took my information over the phone, gave helpful advise and said I could get in first thing in the morning. When we arrived, the front desk staff was excellent and very welcoming. The dentist office was clearly for kids, my daughter felt instantly comfortable as they greeted her and asked which show she'd want to watch. When we met Dr. Tali, she was extremely present and empathetic to my daughter and she let her do a full tooth exam! As I have patients of my own, I truly value excellent bedside manner, and she's truly genuine. When in a crisis, excellent care is what you hope for and that's what we received. After her excellent care, my daughter's teeth are still intact and I am confident we will continue to get excellent care in the future. Thank you Dr. Tali and staff! read more

We love, love, love coming here!! The staff and everyone in the office are helpful, patient, and understanding. I have been bringing my son here since he was 3 years old, he is now going on 5. The only thing I regret is not bringing him here earlier! read more

I can't say enough about Dr Tali and toothbuds. I had a traumatic experience when my 3 year old daughter fell and shattered her two front teeth. I called toothbuds and they squeezed me in 15 minutes later. My daughter obviously traumatized , never shed another tear after sitting in Dr Tali s chair. I was shocked ! She had her two front teeth pulled out and never cried ! It was Dr Tali s way about explaining what she was doing and making it fun that changed the whole situation around . A week later my daughter was excited to go back to the office and hopped right up on the chair and opened her mouth to show Dr Tali what a good brusher she was. Following the teeth getting pulled, Dr Tali and I spoke about the different options we had . Leaving the gap alone or getting a pedi partial ( fake teeth cemented in ) . I wanted the pedi partial because I didn't want her having a gap for the next couple years. Dr Tali went out of her way to match the color of the pedi partial to her original teeth and capped the other tooth that was Grey due to the trauma. Long story short , my beautiful daughter now has a smile to match her. All the while making my daughter feel safe and wanting to come back. I don't write a lot of reviews but I felt compelled to write this to let future parents know what great hands there kids will be in. I'll never forget how upset I was when this happened and I am so grateful Dr Tali made me feel so comfortable and did the most amazing job. read more
