The best dental experience of my life. I had a very bad toothache and they were able to get me in right away. The entire staff is so kind and compassionate. Beautiful facility. Liz and Dr. King were amazing. Above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Amazing staff and hygienist. Very professional and they have all the latest technology. Dr King was very kind, knowledgeable and never pressured on up selling. I also appreciate that their office is open on Saturdays and late on the weekdays. Very accommodating to those with a busy work week schedule.

They are my family dentist for last 8+ years. I didn't do justice by not appreciating their invaluable service for all these years in social media. Very courteous, highly professional staff. Clean and tidy ambience. They have helped us by offering service ranging from routine cleanup to cavity filling. They even offer quarterly routine checkup when my insurance officially cover only 6 month visits, with no extra charge to me. Highly resourceful and dependable dental facility in town. Double thumbs up to them.

New patient appointment. The office has great hours for those that work a 9 to 5. Easy scheduling which allows you to do online. They offer a chat service which answered all my questions. I provided all my information before hand and the day of they didn't ask for anything but my name. I was on time but late because I went to the wrong office, they have separate buildings in the same plaza area so be alert about that.

I am usually smarter than that lol. They still took me right in. Natalie my hygienist was friendly and welcoming. She explained everything before she did it. Dr King was friendly and informative. They offered additional services but did not push anything which was wonderful. I was in and out with a fresh clean teeth in less than an hour, despite my accidental tardiness. My 6 month cleaning scheduled before I left my chair. A very great experience. Thank you Penrod Dental.

From fillings two root canals this place is the best. They are so accommodating and helpful they really care about their patients you're relaxed your, they give you a blanket a pillow pain medication they take the time to fully explain everything to you if you have to be numbed up they take it slow time is not an issue with them their main focus is that you're comfortable that you're in no pain and that you're fully relaxed. Did you get in pain during your procedure they will stop and they will give you more medicine that rub your cheeks so that it doesn't hurt so much going on they're so kind they're so caring and they're so gentle the number one best interest to ever go to it's incredible! I love love love this place incredible

Wow, I was completely amazed by the attention to detail and friendless I received at Penrod Dental Care! Ever since I moved to California, I was looking for a dependable dental clinic with proficient staff for routine teeth cleaning/care, and I think I found them! The front desk and the dental team were one of the most kind staff I had met in years!

I will be definitely recommending Penrod to family and friends who ask for a reliable and thorough dental clinic! Most of my visit was spent with Elsa, my hygienist, and she was incredible! I am beyond satisfied with the level of cleaning I had received from her. She was so informative and knowledgeable on all parts of my visit. I felt so comfortable being in her care because I could tell she was very experienced and - most importantly - friendly! I would definitely recommend first time clients at Penrod ask for Elsa for their first cleaning!

I have extreme anxiety with the dentist do to past experiences and Penrod dental went above and beyond to ensure that I feel comfortable. They explained every single thing that they were doing and unlike my other dentist gave me options to ease my anxiety. I would 100% recommended them to any children who are fearful or even adults. Just explain what makes you anxious and they will 100% work with you to make you feel comfortable. Thank you thank you!

Great experience. Staff and doctors exceeded my expectations. Everyone was friendly and professional. Showed compassion and made sure I was taken care of despite the busyness of the office. Showed that each patient is treated well. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs dental work done. Thank you Penrod Dental!

After years of going to the same dental practice and having faith and trust in our provider, we had to find a new dentist. Our clinician had sold the practice and the environment changed dramatically. Being in the dental industry, we knew what we wanted and tried several others only to be subjected to upsell and standards of care not what we expected.

We found the reviews and feedback on Penrod Dental practice very encouraging and they we absolutely spot on! Welcoming staff, no hidden upsell, clear expectations and safe dental practices. Elsa, my hygienist was amazing, technically she performed my cleaning with absolute focus on my oral health and comfort! Outstanding work! I met with Dr. Ballard post cleaning and immediately felt a connection. Dr. Ballard is exceptionally trained, patient centered and welcoming.

It was as if I was back at the practice we knew and trusted. My follow up care requires a small filling, which the front staff handled with clarity and efficient, polite service. We highly recommend Penrod Dental Care! Dr. Ballard and her staff are top notch. We are so happy to find our new dental home!

I was blessed they accommodated my request for and appointment. I moved to Northern cal a couple of years ago, my insurance changed. Could not get in until February up there. I had a trip to Santa Margarita, Penrod Dental got me in. No waiting in the lobby. X-rays, clean and ready to go. Awesome job

Absolutely loved my visit. The staff and doctor I met were all very friendly. The care I received was top notch. The office is also really pretty and I found the chair very comfortable during my appointment.

Easily one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. Mine was just for a cleaning, X-rays, etc. but the staff was wonderful! Dentist I have been to in the past just seem to want to "upsell" you (you must get a full deep cleaning $$$, all your old fillings need to be replaced $$$) and so on. So I stopped going for several years. But the experience at Penrod was the exact opposite!

They respect what you want and really need! If you may need a deep cleaning for a couple areas then ok, but that would after a couple of standard cleanings to see if it is really needed. Same with old fillings. Why didn't I know about this place years ago being it is so close to where I live? I highly recommend them and actually look forward to going back!

After our dentist retired, it was time to find someone new. We've seen the positive reviews of this practice for years, so I reached out to them. I was overdue for a cleaning and an initial exam. I was greeted by a lady who radiated her smile across the phone, and she answered my questions. An appointment was scheduled later that day ( probably available because of the heavy rain ).

When I arrived at the office I was immediately greeted and within minutes I was in a treatment room. They have the latest in technology, and xrays were done quickly. The cleaning was excellent, and the exam revealed "things to watch" but no immediate additional work was needed. I appreciated the friendliness of all the staff, the professionalism, and the attitude my being a client was important. I see why so many people have raved about this practice which will be my new home for dental needs.

Courteous staff and very accommodating. They got me in for a same day appointment and helped with a specific issue that no other dentist in the area could help with. I was in and out quickly, and they did a great job! Plus super friendly staff and very clean + updated facilities. Update! This is another Review for Penrod dental. I recently brought my 4-yr-old in who has a need for some dental work.

I had gone to a pediatric dentist elsewhere and I wanted to get a second opinion. They were so nice and made it easy for my son. Actually a way nicer environment for him than the kids dentist! They recommended a different (less aggressive) treatment and fully worked with me on payment options. They said they'd rather have us focus on fixing the issue than worry about how to pay.

They've really evolved to make sense and work with people, and their staff are compassionate. I really appreciate their approach in every way. Super happy I took my boy here, and I will bring his brother here as well. Great dentistry practice for kids and adults!

I went for my first appointment to Penrod Dental Care and found the entire staff I dealt with to be very welcoming and friendly. My Dental Hygienist, Angelica, was very efficient and thorough. After she completed x-rays and gum readings, Dr. King came in and examined my teeth and gums. I was very happy with the way he explained everything and included me in the discussion regarding any further or future treatment.

There was no rush with my appointment, and I left with all of my questions answered and feeling very positive about Penrod Dental Care. I made an appointment for teeth cleaning before I left.

My first experience at Penrod Dental was fantastic! Kathleen got me in for a dental emergency on short notice. During my visit, the whole staff couldn't have been nicer. They knew that I was very anxious during my visit and really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Kathleen took a long time explaining my treatment plan and made me feel very comfortable about the procedure that I needed. I would highly recommend Penrod Dental to anyone.

What a phenomenal dental appointment! The hygienist took some time to get to know me before doing a complete set of X-rays, including a panoramic X-ray. Before doing one of the most thorough cleanings that I have ever experienced at any dental office, she measured and had an assistant record the amount of recession of the gums at each tooth. Both the hygienist and dentist reviewed the X-rays, and the dentist completed a thorough exam, having an assistant note which teeth had old fillings and small cracks that needed to be watched on future visits. They spent an hour and a half on me! I was so thrilled with the visit that I made an appointment for my husband too! I highly recommend Penrod Dental Office!

My family and I have being going to Penrod Dental for many years. My daughter has been seeing them twice a year since she was 2 and she loves going to the dentist. Each time we go we feel like we are part of the Penrod Family. They have accommodated our schedules and truly tried their hardest to schedule a time that works best for us. I highly recommend Penrod Dental as your family dentist.
