Dr. Talua's Biography
When Dr. Talua was just six, her dentist explained that her lower incisors were congenitally missing. For days afterward, she drove her parents crazy asking what, when, and how congenitally missing teeth could happen. Unable to answer, her father brought her back to the dentist, who answered every question and hosted her for a week at the clinic. From that day forward dental school was inevitable, and she pursued this dream by studying for over a decade to become a specialist. Willamette Dental Group in particular gives her the ability to focus on the aspects of her work she does best without the distractions involved in managing the business.
She enjoys traveling, reading, cooking, working out, and spending valuable time with her friends and family when she's not at the office.

Talua and Crystal are an amazing team. Crystal knows what Talua needs and is handing it to her just as she is about to ask... They barely need to say anything at all to each other! And Talua is the most attentive Dentist I have ever experienced... I wish I could always have her. It's like she senses other:s pain. They are both the best. Do not lose them!!!

Nayrouz Talua and the assistant (I can't recall her name) were both very professional and friendly, and direct with what was about to happen every step of the root canal.) Nayrouz did the process quickly and efficiently, I really appreciated her calm and cheerful demeanor. She made an otherwise difficult procedure bearable and am glad she did the work!

My daughter commented on how unwelcome she felt in the actual provider's office. The receptionist and check-in and check-out were quite friendly and very professional. The provider and her assistant clearly did not want her to be there.

I was so excited that my endodontist was a woman and a woman of color. Congrats, Willamette Dental! It is so rare to have a person of color providing this service and I truly appreciated it. Thank you!

I really like all the staff. Very professional and clean environment. My only request is that you open the Roseburg office back up. Even if you were only here a few days per week, it would be better for the patients than having to drive to Eugene.

Yeah, I was quite impressed with the attention that the dentist gave me. She asked me questions, I asked her questions and she gave me satisfactory answers. So... she actually impressed me. I left there with a very positive remark. Thank you.

A perfect visit. A root canal would normally be considered something a person would face with dread. Dr. Talua was a consummate professional and the procedure was flawless from start to finish and if I ever have to get another one, I hope it's with Dr. Talua again.
