It's always a warm welcome when you walk in the door. I've been coming here for over 5 years and love how they treat their guest. As an adult I still get nervous walking into my dentist appointments. But once i'm here the staff makes you feel comfortable and they are super friendly. I've had all of these treatments and never had a problem with them after. (Root canal, fast braces, deep clean, and regular cleaning) My go to Dentist! Recommend! read more

So I went here for a while. Got a lot of work done over 2 years. A few visits in the Dentist drilled a cavity out that I couldn't see in any X-ray but he swore was there. Behind one of my front teeth. Then some lady with her face and head completely covered with a doily came in, said nothing to me, stuck her finger in my mouth and sloppily filled the hole. Everyone who worked there kept insisting that the sharp edges she left from her sloppy job would smooth out but months and months went by and that never happened - just like I knew it wouldn't and just like they knew wouldn't. Finally I complained to the blonde haired white woman, who happens to be nice and normal like the rest of us (who were born here and have respect for the lands and each other and not just 'their own kind) who cleans teeth took a look and could see and feel what the imports "couldn't." She told the "Dr" about it. Next time I went in to get my teeth cleaned - I was switched to a new cleaner - who just so happened to also be an import. She poked and scraped the s*** out of my gums, creating new problems including gum reduction. That oughtta shut me up, ha? 'Be quiet and passive you s**** A*****.' At the time all this was happening - I was still recovering from years of mourning from years of continued losses including my father in law, grandfather, sister in law, pets, etc. Getting other back teeth chipped off by this guy who claimed those things never happened or that they just so happened to happen while he was back there doing work next to other teeth near those. All this happening while I was in one of the most vulnerable states of my life was really f***** up. Going to the Dentist was actually me trying to take care of myself and be optimistic in a post-pland****-co*** world where many people prior to, during after after I knew had passed away, among other things. But - I'm better now. So I'm writing this because - when I complained about the f***** up filling the sloppy, rude a** towel h*** left - he finally took it out. He kept trying to get me get braces and teeth whitening and implants but all I wanted was my f***** tooth he f***** up filled correctly. So I went in, got it filled and two days later while I was at home minding my own f****** business - that s*** suddenly came out. So I called them, went back in and this guy tells me and my partner - he's not going to fix it because it would just happened again. I had no issue with this tooth until I went to this place, to this guy and that team. Now he was saying - I won't fix it - you need to now get all of your teeth crowned - but get braces first - so that after your teeth - one of which I won't fix - get straightened out - we can then cover them up. Guess he thought I was some Mexican silly f****t rolling in money, pulling the purse strings or something. It's been about a year and a half and there's still a hole in my tooth that I got when I was in an extremely vulnerable place that they took advantage of - but I'm better now. Today I had to go through the parking lot of that place to avoid the traffic from that restaurant next door that s*****ly replaced the lawn with rocks so they can be an upscale fish bowl, and came across the secretaries and assistants that work there. They all started saying hi like they didn't know what happened. I said nothing but that seems to have led them to believe they should say it with bigger, more "confident" smiles and louder - so I said - I still have a hole in my tooth. The girl from the front desk who tells everyone what to do just started laughing. So. I decided to write these truthful events. This is for you, girl. read more

While I didn't ultimately get serviced here due to the price being close to double what I was quoted before they checked my mouth I did have a great experience with this location. I was definitely a little suspect when I saw the random location but was pleasantly surprised. The front office staff as well as the dental assistants were very stellar with their level of care to ensure I was comfortable . I loved the welcome gift which consisted of a tumbler (that didn't keep my coffee hot) lol but the gesture was definitely thoughtful. The one start was removed based on the price discrepancy but I can't really be too upset. While they did refer me to their enododentist that could have seen me same day I was quoted $1200-$1600 but the referral was for $2200 which was completely outside of my budget allocated for the visit. Equally the front office staff as well as the dentist were trying to assist with figuring out something as I was in an intense amount of pain, Should I have dental insurance that works with this office or want to pay the cash price for this location I would definitely try it again. read more

I went to this dental office on a friend's recommendation and Inmust say it was good advice. My appointment was at 830am and began right on time. No extra paperwork or delays. Skylar was very friendly, humorous and helped put me as ease before beginning my cleaning. During the procedure she remained calm and gentle. I do appreciate being in good hands due to bad past experiences. After my cleaning the Dr came in and gave me a detailed breakdown of future steps to take and procedures to be done. I am CONFIDENT that my SMILE will be brighter than even with this dental office. Thank you for the great experience! read more

The exam I received was great. What was even better was the sense of urgency but without pressure, everyone I interacted with was kind, polite and willing to explain and listen. The office is clean, the people are clean, they have a menu of items to help make you comfortable while sitting in the chair (no extra charge) I left here feeling like these people care about what they do and the service they provide. Thank you! read more

We all hate going to the dentist, and as anxiety provoking as it is Dr. Dogra and his team have always made it easy for me. They tell you what they recommend and explain why, once the job is started they finish up quickly and send you on your way. I've never experienced anything but professionalism here. read more

My first visit here was after 5 years of not seeing a dentist and I was really nervous. I'm so happy to say the entire team made me feel comfortable! There was no aggressive treatment plan and they made sure I understood why and how they would go about treatment for me! Since then I have returned frequently for my check ups and cleanings. At this most recent appointment I met Dr. Navasero. She was super friendly and really fast in treatment! My boyfriend had been getting treatment done by Dr. Dogra and we are also very pleased with the quality of work. We're super happy we found a dentist and team we can trust. read more

Dr. Dogra and his staff are nothing short of exceptional. From the warm welcome upon arrival and the pleasant ambiance of the clinic itself, to the meticulous and personalized care I received from Jose, Luca, and Dr. Dogra, I was blown away. I had been with my previous dentist for more than two decades, and after he retired, I did not believe I would find another dentist I trusted and believed in as much. I was mistaken. I required multiple complex fillings and crowns, and went to two other dentists in the area who quoted obscene prices. I sent over my X-rays from the other offices to Dr. Dogra. He squeezed me into his schedule that week, identified a cracked/chipped filling missed by the two previous dentists, and gave a markedly reduced, fair price compared to the other offices. If not evident already, Dr. Dogra and his team have my highest praise--so much so that my mother and father are now his patients as well. read more

Got a cap put on one of my lower molars from this dentist. They showed me a sample cap that was too yellow and I asked to see more color samples so I could choose one that actually matched my teeth. I chose a slightly whiter color than what they had shown me and when I held the sample tooth up against mine, it was the same color (meaning it would blend well with the teeth in my mouth. However, after the cap was put on it was 10 times brighter than the one I had wanted. Now whenever I open my mouth there is a fluorescent excruciatingly bright white (almost green, not even kidding) tooth screaming HELLLOOOOO in my mouth. It looks HORRIBLE. The best thing about this dentist is that they'll put you on a payment plan if your bill is over a certain dollar amount. Other than that, I'd NEVER go back to this dentists office unless I want more tacky looking fluorescent chompers.... yeah umm, NO THANKS. read more

My aunt recently went to this place and she came out very disappointed. I have always appreciated the quality of service at this establishment and the dedication of the staff. However, I was very disappointed with my recent experience when I spoke to Sandra on the phone. Unfortunately, her demeanor came across as rude, and I felt that her attitude did not reflect the positive service I have come to expect. I believe that constructive feedback is essential for improvement, and I hope that Sandra can enhance her approach in future interactions, do better Sandra!! I will be giving this place 3 stars because of Sandra. read more

If I had one word to describe this dentist's work it would be SLOPPY. I would only come here for routine cleaning and exam - absolutely No DENTAL work. This dentist talks and explains a lot but makes poor decisions when it comes to how to address teeth that need work. Also the work he does is sloppy and not well done. Now that I'm reading other reviews I can see that I'm not the only one that has had issue with his performance. Most of the time he is unsure of what to do so sends out patients to endodontist. He is NOT an expert by any means - does not take responsibility for his work and just covers up his incompetence with talk and explanations. EXTREMELY UNHAPPY with his work and judgment! Stay away - if you want an expert dentist in the area - EAST SAC DENTISTS is a practice I trust to make the correct decisions and do the work right! Please don't bother responding to this review Dr G. Excuses are not welcomed needed or asked for - I hope you learned from this experience and I hope the public also understands your strengths and weaknesses. read more

Started visiting Dr. Dogra and the CS team towards the end of 2017. You'll find the common theme in that most people hate the dentist but this Dr. And his team make it FAR LESS painful to go and, not to sound corny but I genuinely look forward to a visit. He's also an Orthodontist which is what attracted me to see him initially. I had the goal to get my teeth straightened out but hated the thought of adult braces. Cut to 11 months later and FastBraces were worth every single penny spent. Had to pay out of pocket only because my insurance doesn't cover it but it was nevertheless the best decision I ever made. The office was so easy to work with in regards to payment. The best part is the constant reminders of appointments via text & email (not kidding) because someone like me doesn't always remember to save appt details. Dr. Dogra did such an amazing job on my teeth, I felt almost unrecognizable. Jose, Katie are such great assistants! Seriously, you won't regret being a CS patient read more

I was not informed that they require new patients to sign form that charges $50 cancellation fee without 48 hour notice until I got to appointment. I shared my previous 2 dentists didn't require this and was told they must "not be good". I understand some dentists require this but to not inform new patients prior to appointment and disparage other dentists is not what I would call honest service. read more

Most definitely the most exceptional dentist I have ever been to. Let's be honest, it's never a pleasant experience going and something we all put off. I truly felt like my anxiety was put at an instant ease from the moment I walked in the door. The receptionists were so incredibly friendly, warming and welcoming. Dr. Gautam Dogra was honestly the first dentist who has ever managed to properly explain to me what is happening to my teeth. He was kind, patient and so knowledgeable in terms of everything I needed to know and happily answered any questions I had, (regardless of how silly I thought my questions were.) I have my follow up appointment at the end of this week and for the first time am feeling surprisingly calm and at ease. Thank you to everyone at Confident Smiles. It's a relief to know I've found a clinic I can not only trust but feel remarkably safe with. Yours truly, Meg. read more

My family and I have been coming here for probably 10 years or so! Dr. Dogra is wonderful. He's friendly, careful, and knows what he's doing. He always explains everything clearly and answers all my questions every time. He's funny, too! I never thought I'd be able to actually say I'm "comfortable" coming to the dentist, but I am. I'm currently doing Fast Braces and I'm very pleased with the progress so far. I definitely recommend them! I've referred two friends to him and they both have relayed their gratitude for helping find them a reputable and kind dentist. They've expressed that they also have never felt so comfortable and confident at the dentist, too! That should tell you plentyyyy. His staff are very good at what they do and always kind to me. I always make a friend! read more

Dr. Dogra is a gentle and thorough dentist with a good sense of humor. The whole staff is attentive and caring.

As someone not originally from Sacramento, I was extremely overwhelmed by trying to find a new dentist when I first moved here. I tried a couple of different offices and felt more like a number than a patient. My fiancé recommended me to Confident Smiles and I could not be happier with them! The staff is so incredibly friendly and professional. Their office is clean and conveniently located in Midtown. I always have great conversations with them and they make me feel more like a part of their family than just another client to rush through. They clearly communicate costs, dates for follow-up appointments, and provide helpful information on other items like braces and teeth whitening. Can't recommend them enough! COVID update: I went in for my 6-month cleaning in the midst of the pandemic and the staff made me feel extremely safe. A week before my appointment, they called me to ensure I hadn't been sick and completed a verbal questionnaire with me. They also walked me through the procedures for the appointment which included staying in my car/calling them when I had arrived and taking my temperature before allowing me to go past the front desk. The day of my appointment I was pleasantly surprised to see that the staff also went above and beyond by clearing the lobby of other patients so that we could easily walk through with as much space between us as possible. As someone who has been very cautious during this time, I was very happy and comfortable with their procedures! read more

I've been a patient of Confident Smiles since I moved to the area 8 years ago from the East Coast. I've enjoyed their service so much that even after I moved away and moved back I still remained loyal and returned! The entire team is professional, extremely kind, respectful and the scheduling staff even goes the extra mile by offering me an earlier appointment time if they have a cancellation. Aside from standard cleanings & Xrays I've had wisdom teeth removed and the procedure was extremely smooth. I'm a huge fan of the team at Confident Smiles and would recommend their services & staff to anyone in search of a new dental care team. You won't be disappointed! read more

This office is very organized. I appreciated that the front desk ladies were able to pull my insurance and quote me on out of pocket cost for my crown without any delays or confusion. I was able to get my crown done in a timely manner. The doctor is very knowledgeable and efficient. Both the dental assistant and hygienist were professional and thorough. I would recommend this office overall to anyone who needs dental work done. read more

Love this office and staff. Have been seeing them for a little over 6 years now and very happy.

Update: I no longer go to Confident Smiles. My first few visits were good, but then things swiftly changed. I have serious bone loss in my jaw and I have two of my teeth numbed when I get my cleaning. When I requested to be numbed the hygienist acted like I was requesting hard drugs. Then the dentist was discounting when he realized I needed another oral surgery. What really finalized my decision to leave was when I called to reschedule an appointment. I was in need of a dentist immediately! They were able to get me right in, and they put my nerves at ease. Everyone at Confident Smiles is very welcoming and they provide excellent service. The communication is open and respectful. I'm very pleased with my choice. read more

I found Confident Smiles on Yelp and have started fast braces with them. I'm about 6 months in and so far so good!

Friendly office staff, knowledgeable dental hygienist, and trustworthy dentist. This is what I've come to expect from this place and even after all these years, they still deliver! I'm confident with the care they provide and am happy to have a dental office I can come to year after year (or every six months, technically speaking). I love this place and am very happy to get my cleanings done here. Hopefully, it sticks to just cleanings! #NoCavityClub (fingers crossed) There's a small parking lot in the back, but if you can't find any parking there, there's plenty of free street parking on O Street. So, if you're looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, trustworthy dental office, then look no further! Confident Smiles stays true it its name! Tell them Kasey sent you! ;) read more

Very clean office, friendly staff, extremely accommodating with appointments and scheduling. Couldn't recommend this practice more.

Great dentist and staff. Dr. Dogra has always done a good job on my teeth. He has recommended me to a good periodontist to handle some gum work. I have been going here for the last 10 years. Always had a good experience. Never no surprises on my bill. Both my wife and daughter come here too. read more

I've been going to Dr. Dogra for four years and have always felt tended to from the beginning of my appointment till the end with the rebooking of my next appointment. The front desk staff has always been extremely tentative in scheduling and confirmations, with the addition of great dental assistants! If you're looking for a dental office with a focus on thoroughness, visit Confident Smiles. read more

I just had my first appointment at Confident Smiles. Dr. Dogra & the office staff (specifically, Skylar and Sandra) were all very kind and patient; they articulated themselves well as they explained procedures and insurance usage. The experience far-exceeded my expectations! read more

First of all, promise not to tell my former dentist I cheated on him? I've been looking for a new dentist that is closer to home as my older one is in Auburn. The drive was getting to be a bit much from Sacramento. I received a referral from a friend and I am so glad I chose to see Dr. Dogra. The staff at his office is so friendly. His dental assistants and hygienists are gentle and very informative about what they're doing. Had a couple of fillings done and Dr. Dogra was amazing. I had zero pain during the procedure and zero pain after. The office staff even called me the day after my fillings to check on me. If you're looking for a new dentist or haven't been to a dentist in a while, don't hesitate to make an appt with Dr. Dogra! read more

I was looking for a new dentist and saw all of the great reviews so I made an appointment. I quickly realized why everyone loves it here! From booking the appointment to the actual service all five stars!! read more

Absolutely love Confident Smiles and the AMAZING team that works here! I have been coming here for several years now and it's always been a pleasant experience. Dr. Dogra is the sweetest and most caring doctor. The quality of his work and the passion for what he does is evident. The staff is so welcoming, flexible, and accommodating. I highly recommend anyone looking for a dentist to try this place out! read more

The entire staff is great, very friendly and always explain well what is happening. Their appts are scheduled very accurately, meaning I have not had to wait when arriving over the course of several years. I am glad I found this practice. read more

This isn't something you may hear very often, but I have fun when I come to Confident Smiles for my appointments. And believe me I'm not getting basic work done. The entire staff, especially Sandra with her beautiful smile, make me feel welcome and they never seem to be having a bad day. Dr. Dogra is thoughtful and has great sense of humor. I can't see myself switching dentist offices....ever! So thank you to Sandra, Angel, Jose, Luka, and everybody else on the team. See you next week! read more

I have gone to Dr. Dogra for years and he is great! I initially discovered his office through a teeth whitening deal and had enjoyed that process, so I decided to become a patient of Confident Smiles. I am young and have good oral hygiene so I only really go for the twice-a-year cleanings and the X-ray. Every time, the hygienists are friendly and fast, and nothing is painful (again, though, I usually don't have pain at the dentist). However, my husband also goes to Dr. Dogra and has had more complex dental issues. He got a crown from Dr. Dogra that did not fix his tooth pain and ultimately needed a root canal. Dr. Dogra was fantastic about it all. Though he can do root canals too, he referred my husband to an endodontist for some insurance-related reason, and that endodontist did a great job. That gave us the confidence that Dr. Dogra refers his patients to good specialists, if needed. I will say one huge reason I stayed with Confident Smiles this entire time was because I did not have dental insurance through my last job, and Confident Smiles has a membership. I loved that! I found it to be affordable and worthwhile. I believe it's still $250 a year, though they may have increased it slightly, and that covered the cleanings and X-rays. If you have an HSA, you can pay for the $250 through that. I thought it was a great deal. I have insurance now, but of course I will continue going to Confident Smiles. I highly recommend Confident Smiles for everyone seeking a new dental practice. read more

I was referred to Confident Smiles by friends that say the quality of work is better than any other dental office in the Sacramento area. I am in the military and have received multiple visits to dental providers both civilian and DOD from all around the country. A few visits to Confident Smiles and I am convinced that it is the best dental care I have and ever will receive. If I am ever outside of California and need dental work, I will wait to be back in Sacramento to get it done by Dr.Dogra. First, the front staff is always bright and cheerful when I come to an appointment. Angel & Carmen send me reminders and are very knowledgeable about how my insurance works. I am never in doubt about what work will be completed or when my next appointment is. They even called me after my appointment to verify that I am not feeling any pain or discomfort! Above and beyond! Second, the quality of work Dr.Dogra puts into his patients is unparalleled. I have needed multiple fillings before Confident Smiles and I can definitely tell the difference in work. The dental assistant Kati was friendly and asked me if I needed anything. She was over prepared, having a bite block ready for me before I could even ask for one! The patient first environment is what really makes me want to keep coming back. I can feel how smooth the surface of my fillings are and when I close my mouth everything fits perfectly into place. Dr.Dogra was in depth and patient with all of my examinations, I never left with a question unanswered. Lastly, I have had cleanings before at other offices and I always left feeling guilty that my teeth will fall out. Not at Confident Smiles! Ana is my Hygienist at Confident Smiles and she always explains to me how I can improve my gum health instead of pointing out how bad it is. I appreciate the feeling of a positive outlook verses how bad I might compare to others. It makes me want to come back for follow up cleaning to see how much better I am doing VS how much worse I might be. Thank you Confident Smiles team! I will see you on my next visit! read more
