High quality service, professional and friendly. Dr. T is amazing. His staff got me in on short notice for a consultation on what to do about a broken tooth, (same day) and then referred me to a specialist who took care of the problem, again on the same day. Amazing. I wish my HMO was as caring and efficient.
Dr. Talaber was born in Hungary and grew up in Olympia, Washington. He received his degree in biology from St. Martin's University, having also attended Pacific Lutheran University and The Evergreen State College.

The Dexis digital sensor was introduced in 2009 and is regarded by many as the best in the industry. What this means is that the radiation used is extremely low and the clarity of the X-ray is incredibly detailed. With this system the computer knows your pain threshold and can give the anesthesia so you do not feel it!

I have severe anxiety around dental appointments due to having issues being fully numb with a previous dentist when I was in my early 20s. Since then, I've avoided dentists - until I found Dr. Talaber's office. Dr. Talaber is super compassionate about dental anxiety and has a lot of options for dealing with it. Dr. Talaber and his staff have entirely changed my outlook on dentists. I would recommend this office to anyone seeking a competent dentist and compassionate staff - I recommend them to everyone in my life who I love. I recently had an appointment and Kristin was the one who did my numbing

Best dental experience of my life. I've always had dental anxiety, but with a little sedation, I actually fell asleep through most of it! Everyone was very friendly and didn't make me feel ashamed for being anxious about the visit. Definitely would recommend for anyone who wants painless, quality care. Thank you.

After a few years of many consultations with different orthodontists (wish I found them before my wedding 😫) I finally got my teeth aligned in 9 months. Being in my 30s and a mom of 2, I didn’t want years of braces. I was lucky to of found them and able to accommodate to my busy schedule as a mom as well. I highly recommend them if you’re wanting to fix your smile without feeling pressured into more. It was fast, painless, and worth it!

I have to say I was very anxious about having to deal with my dental issues. Dr T and his staff put me at ease.
They are extremely courteous and informative.
Dt T explained what my alternatives were.
What I could expect.
How long my total dental care situation might take.
I had been to two prior dentists for consultation and after speaking with Dr T, I truly felt more comfortable with the services his practice is offering. Looking forward to a successful outcome.
I would highly recommend Dr T and his whole practice.

I just cannot say enough about going to this office for dental care. Every person there is so caring and treat you with respect. I have always had huge anxiety about going to the dentist but these people have helped me so much. I could not be more happy with the quality of care I have received. From the minute you walk through the door, you are in good hands.

Came here with a raging tooth ache desperate for relief. Staff and dentist were incredibly compassionate and helpful and pointed me in the direction for treatment. Within an hour they scheduled me for an emergency filling/root canal at another location and my the end of the day I got the filling done and no more pain at an affordable cost. I am so thankful for Talaber and Staff. Thank you!

I've been to this dental office twice. Once for an emergency appointment, and again for a dental crown. The front desk worked with me to get an appointment quickly each time. I had a great experience with the doctor and his staff, their facility and equipment is very up-to-date, and i never had to wait passed my appointment time. Also- my teeth look beautiful, I'm very happy with the results.

I went to this dentist's office for an appointment to have a small chip on my front tooth filled. I told them I have no insurance. They had me wait and fill out forms for half an hour. Then when I finally got in the chair, they said the cost for the small filling would be $330. Obviously they didn't want my business, so why did they waste my time? Not professional! Don't go there...find a dentist who cares!

I was a patient in 2013. I decided it was time I got braces to fix my teeth so I went the 6 Month Smiles route. Which I am very happy with my smile. However the entire experience at this dental office was far from great. When I scheduled to actually get my braces put on I made sure I was not working that day. The week and the day prior to my appointment I did not receive a phone call to confirm my appointment. I tried to get a hold of the office to confirm but the line was busy. When I went the receptionist looked very confused seeing me there. I told her I was there to get my braces. She told

I can honestly say, I had never ever had a better dentist experience than today. I am so scared of dentist (very bad experience in the past) and I was so fearful to go, but I did. My anxiety level was high this morning, even if it didn't show. Dr.Talaber and Michelle, the assistant made me feel so comfortable as it can get at the dentist and then some more. Very professional, but easy going at the same time. Dr.Talaber was so careful and took his time, answered every question I had. Everybody in the office is so friendly. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. See you soon :)

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. When I went here I was under employeed, uninsured and broke. So enter Dr. T. I went in to get some work done and left with a $3000 bill for a root canal and I was told that I need 14 othwr fillings. Lies...all lies. When I went to two other dentists I was told that I needed three. That is hundreds of dollars if not thousands of dollars these people were going to charge me for work I did not need! Dr. Talaber is a criminal and should have his license to practice revoked and his ability to teach suspended.

Hi... I have been to highly rated dentists in Santa Barbara, Ca. and Tacoma, Wa. as well as one other in Olympia. If I would have known Dr. Talaber existed I would have never gone to see anyone else. He is the most conscientious, well trained, and patient Dentist that I have ever met.
My rating is extremely high based on the excellence of the complicated dental work he has done for me, the high quality standard of his entire staff, the kindness and compassion he brings to his work, and the satisfaction of many people that I know who go to him.

I've never had to wait past my appointment time at the dentist before I came here. The Dr. and his staff are very nice and friendly and I liked the hygienist that worked on me.
I had deep cleaning (scaling), one filling replaced (it was fine and wasn't bothering me but he said it would prevent things being caught between my teeth...it didn't) and a sensitive tooth "desensitized". It is still very sensitive.
I ended up getting an infection in my gum where the novocaine had been injected...very painful and the first time that's ever happened to me! He did
