    Janet, the dental hygienist, was phenomenal! She was confident within her scope of practice, worked efficiently, and always kept a smile! I truly appreciate when she provided education to my 16 year old on not only the proper method to brush & floss but also advised the detrimental effects that could come about in not doing so. She’s an exceptional hygienist that would be a great asset to any Dental Team.
    Thank you Janet! Appreciate all you do!

    Our first appointment was successful. Online link was sent prior to our appointment to be completed, a bit of delay on our end, but all and all I appreciate being asked follow up question based off of our answers. Everyone was very thoughtful and explained in detail what was necessary overall as well as explaining what was needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Thank you, definitely looking forward to follow ups.

    Loving the service provided from MY dentist. Dr. Meilinger made the process pain free. She’s the best— from setting expectations appropriately to a skilled execution of the procedure. Ask for Dr. Meilinger specifically when you visit. You’ll be appreciative of her personal touch and you’ll become a patient of hers for life.

    Words can’t describe how grateful I am for the amazing care that I received at Ideal Dental on Bulverde. Before my treatment, I would hide my smile behind my hands or just never smile. I was amazed by the attention to detail from Dr. Meilinger. My new smile looks amazing thanks to her. Debra made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She would let me know what was going on at all times. From start to finish, everyone who I spoke with were so kind and friendly. I feel like a new person and I cant thank everyone here enough!!!

    We have been using Dr. Talena Meilinger at Ideal Dental for 5 years! I am not a fan of dentists in general as I feel they always cause additional pain. Dr Meilinger and her staff are extremely empathetic and patient when treating their clients! She has been the best dentist I have seen. I look forward to my 6 month cleanings and I do not panic when I need additional dental work! We started using her when my husband and I were living in Japan and we would come visit our daughter in San Antonio! We moved SAT almost 3 years ago and we still use her as our dentist!
    They accept our dental insurance and do all of the filling and get pre authorization when needed before doing a procedure. We pay our copay at the time of service and we are good to go. I had a crown put in and when the crown was received she was not happy with the shade. She sent it back and had the agency remake the crown!!! I had the crown put in about 4 weeks or so. I was having pain with the crown so I made an appointment to have it checked out. The office was able to get me in the same day! The fix was SOO simple and I was in and out in 7 MINUTES!! The crown needed to be adjusted (filed down) a little bit; OHH MY GOODNESS… I feel like a new woman!
    If you have anxiety or hate going to the dentist; do Not let you keep you from going to the dentist; make an appointment with Dr. Meilinger Today!!!

    The childhood fear of going to the dentist sometimes sticks around into adulthood but the team at Ideal Dental made me feel so comfortable! After a long hiatus of not keeping up with my dental care, I’m so glad I visited with them. A special shout out to Ms. Caroline, she was very friendly and welcoming!

    My experience here was very good. All the people working here were kind, caring people. I felt like those working on me thought about me as a person, not just paying attention to my teeth as another job for them to do. It has been one of the best experiences at the dentist I’ve ever had.
