MPDG Voted Best Dentist in Monterey County for the 9th Consecutive Year
Thank You to Our Wonderful Patients
We are humbled, grateful, and overjoyed to share that Monterey Peninsula Dental Group has once again been voted “Best Dentist in Monterey County”—for the ninth year in a row.
This recognition means the world to us because it comes directly from the people we serve every day—our patients, neighbors, and friends across the Monterey Peninsula. To know that you continue to trust us with your health, your confidence, and your smiles is the greatest honor we could receive.
A Tradition of Care, Built on Relationships
When MPDG first opened its doors, our goal was simple: to enhance lives though optimal dental care, offering exceptional dentistry grounded in compassion, integrity, and innovation. Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved with our community—adding new technology, welcoming new team members, and expanding our services—but our core philosophy has never changed.
We believe that great dentistry starts with great relationships. Every patient who walks through our doors brings a unique story, a set of goals, and often, a little bit of dental anxiety. Our team takes pride in creating a space where patients feel heard, comfortable, and cared for—whether they’re here for a routine cleaning or a full smile restoration.
Excellence Through Teamwork
Behind every confident smile that leaves our office is a dedicated team that truly loves what they do. Our doctors, hygienists, assistants, and front office staff share a commitment to continual learning and collaboration. We stay on the leading edge of dental science and technology—not for the sake of innovation alone, but because it allows us to deliver the safest, most effective, and most comfortable care possible.
Being recognized as “Best Dentist” isn’t the achievement of one individual—it’s a reflection of the teamwork, professionalism, and compassion that define every member of the MPDG family.
What Makes This Recognition Special
Monterey County is home to an incredible community of dental professionals, so being chosen as the county’s best practice is especially meaningful. For us, this award is a reminder that what sets MPDG apart isn’t just advanced treatment or state-of-the-art equipment—it’s the genuine care we show for our patients and the relationships we’ve built over decades.
Many of our patients have been with us for years, and we’ve had the privilege of caring for multiple generations of the same families. Watching children grow up, return as adults, and bring in their own kids—it’s one of the greatest joys of our profession.
A Heartfelt Thank You
From all of us at Monterey Peninsula Dental Group: thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your care, for recommending us to your friends and family, and for taking the time to vote. Your support continues to motivate us to do better, be better, and give back to this incredible community.
We promise to keep earning your confidence—one smile at a time.
Here’s to another year of healthy, happy smiles across Monterey County!

Dr May, his Team and the whole staff at MPDG are amazing. On my first dental visit in awhile, they handled everything smoothly and efficiently. Also with great attitudes. Couldn't recommend more highly.
Robert S.
I continue to receive excellent dental care and support from the dental group I have used for the past 36 years. I have had 2 dentists retire, and I now live an hour drive away, but I keep coming back for the superb dental care and advice.
