Lal Thanga DDS - General Dentist, Family Dentistry in Duarte, 91010

My son brought me to this doctor and I am more than pleased to say that I had a wonderful experience. Came in for a cleaning. Receptionist and staff are very kind & friendly, the doctor is great didn't experience any kind of discomfort whatsoever, the office is super clean and I was attended in a professional, kind and timely manner. I would for sure recommend Dr. Thanga to any and everybody.

Dr Thanga is just the best! He made me feel very comfortable, and his dental assistant who took time to listen to my concerns, I'm so grateful to both of them, and his front desk staff.... can't say enough except thank you ??

The frontdesk lady is very nice but the doctor is one of the worst dentists I have ever had in my life. I have seen many dentists in my life, believe me. Dr. Lal Thanga is very clumsy when it comes to do the root canal unlike dentists who are specialized to do that kind of job. I told him that my tooth was sensitive to cold and that I needed to do the root canal. But he convinced me that I do not need to do the root canal on that tooth. After installing a new crown, I started having severe pain and needed to take a painkiller and the antibiotics, for three weeks. Then he made a hole in the new crown to do the root canal. It was very painful and he needed to do three shuts and one after he started the procedure. He did not inject enough anesthetics to numb it. As I mentioned, he put a new crown and then drilled a hole in it to do the root canal. I asked him to change that crown since it was his fault that he did not do the root calan beforehand and installed a crown regardless, to which he answer that he would not, but after I spoke to the front desk lady, he agreed to change it to a new crown. I still have some discomfort with that crown since I constantly feel it when I eat food. I will need to change that crown again but this time with another dentist. I do not recommend Dr. Lal Thanga if you need to do the root canal or install a new crown. I usually do not write comments but I thought I should.

I went to this place like a year ago and told me i need my tooth extracted and a root canal, worst expirience ever, he did not put enough anestesia, he was so confused as to what he was doing, i ended up getting a bad infection i was in so much pain, i paid for a whittening treatment at the office and he was trying to give me a home kit, i said no i paid for the treatment to get done at the office, my teeth looked exactly the same after he did the treatment, honestly this place is trash, they are blocked from ever trying to get me to do any type of cleaning with them or any service i need.

Clean and friendly environment with excellent service. From front desk to back, the hygienist, the dentist was extremely personable and very gentle...The best cleaning I have ever had, professionally skilled, attentive to patience.
