Mueni L Mutinga, DDS

She is great, super nice as well as all her staff. So friendly! My kids beg to go to the dentist now. I would highly recommend her for sure!

Dr. Mutinga and her staff are all helpful and kind. Have gone to her twice when I’ve had some toothaches, the first time she referred me to another great dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed and the entire experience was easy. So when I had another major toothache a few years later, I drove out from Los Angeles (I had moved) to see her because the last encounter was so positive.
I recently got insurance and was happy to know they accept it. The service was so great I was going without insurance, so this will be even better!

We have been coming here for several years… One word.,., PHENOMENAL!!! Excellent service all around!

Dr. Mutinga and her staff are AMAZING! They always make you feel so welcome and comfortable. The office is easy to find, it’s clean, they all do a great job doing What they’re suppose to. I highly recommend Today Dental to anyone looking for a «good dentist».

I must say she has the best bed side manners I have had with a dentist. She truly cares about you and she explains in common sense terms what she is doing. No surprises and it doesn’t hurt. THANK YOU! She keeps my mouth beautiful.
Additionally she has state of the art equipment and she provides flat screen tv’s so you can watch a movie as she is working on your teeth.

I’m so pleased to be writing a good review after my string of bad reviews.
She’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. I came in to see her for an embarrassing problem and she is doing her best to help out with it. You can tell that she loves her job — she is so enthusiastic and is more than happy to answer all of your questions. She was very sensitive and sympathetic to my embarrassing problem and that made it easier to talk to her about it. Also, if there’s a question outside of her area of expertise, she doesn’t pretend like she knows everything like other dentists and doctors will do. She tells you she will ask or research your question and let you know what she finds.
You are getting high quality work for your money here. I tried a different dentist’s office, Muna Soltan’s office, a year ago and I paid 100 for about 5 x-​rays and a brief dental exam. Here, for about 80 dollars, they took 3 times as many x-​rays at different angles and Dr. Mutinga did a thorough examination [and unfortunately found cavities :(] .
I didn’t have to take care of the cavities right away for my problem. That came later. Instead, I decided to get my long-​overdue standard cleaning and then a deep-​cleaning for my gums. This requires numbing the entire mouth, and Dr. Mutinga is frequently checking to see if you are in any pain when she is doing this. The process was almost totally painless except for a few pinches during injections. She then recommended a prescription mouth rinse for me that really helped me.
Since my mouth was so numb and this was my first time getting my mouth numbed, she called me a couple hours later to check up on me and ask about the numbness. No other doctor or dentist has EVER done this. At this point, in my mind, she stands out from the rest.
I came back later to take care of the cavities. She found a new one and went ahead and filled it anyway at no extra charge. Again, there was very little pain (I don’t think I remember any at all for this procedure).
I don’t have insurance, so I signed up for CareCredit. So far, I’m not having any problems with them and am making my payments on time.
My gums are healthy and pink now thanks to the deep cleaning and my (now) regular flossing régime.
I can’t wait to go back in for my next cleaning.

Best experience at the dentist I’ve ever had. Dr. Mutinga is very friendly and welcoming, and so is all of her staff. I felt zero pain when she had to drill out cavities. The staff members were very straightforward with the treatment plan and wanted my input. I’ll definitely be back!

As someone who has «missed» the dentist the last 15 years Dr. Mutinga made the experience as painless as possible. She treats you like a human, is honest and never has a bad thing to say. I would advise anybody who is looking for a dentist after a long absence to go see Dr. Mutinga and the rest of her staff.

I took my son to his first dental exam and cleaning at Today Dental. The wait wasn’t bad to see the dentist at all. The girl at the front desk put on a cartoon for him and was really sweet.
The hygienist that cleaned his teeth was very appropriate with a 4 year old. She let him hold the suction tube and try it out so he knew it wasn’t scary, and made his teeth cleaning as fun as it could be.
The dentist was very sweet and personable. She went over his teeth and x-​rays, and said everything was fine. *whew*
Where I feel she went the extra mile was when she asked about his eating habits. After discussing them, she even offered substitutions for foods he avoids, to ensure proper health. Doctor’s don’t always ask about eating habits. She took the time to explain everything I had a question for and I feel like my sons teeth are in great hands here.
I would recommend her as a dentist to anyone, but especially to anyone with a child. She made my son excited to brush his teeth and take care of them, something I was never able to do.

WOW! I have tried several dental offices around town and this is by far the best I have found! Staff is efficient, friendly and go the extra mile every time they can to insure superior service. In my case, they reminded me 3 times of my coming appmt and volunteered to request my X-​ray from another prior appointmt at another dental office to save me $$$.
As for Dr Mutinga, she amazed me by her patient focus and effort made to listen to what YOU WANT before she lays out all your options with the + /​— for each one, leaving you truly in charge of your teeth. She provided a level of care I was not used to, while being kind and caring.
Overall that dental office is a gem and I won’t go anywhere else in the riverside area!

All time best dentist.
Period.
Dr. Mutinga is friendly, helpful and took an interest in me and my wife’s life. She wouldn’t even let us in the door till we showed her our wedding photos :) Her office is efficient, gives reminder calls about appointments and is EXTREMELY professional about her dentistry. MAKE HER YOUR DENTIST! DO IT NOW!
