We feel like we're going to visit friends who clean, polish, and, when necessary, fix our teeth! I have a tooth with a shape anomaly that we affectionately refer to as my "corn tooth" since the resin filling in it starts to turn a bit yellow after ten years or so. Dr. Gilbert did such a great job on in it 12 years ago that I only recently felt it needed a revision. He offered me the laser option this time, and being a pain-weenie, I was a little hesitant. Well, I'm not anymore! It was completely painless! No shots, no bleeding, no nothing except for a really nice repair! The worst part of it is the thing they put in your mouth to hold it open (bring some chapstick or lip moisturizer for that one) and the typical icky smells of having an old filling removed and a new one put in - which would've been present if he'd fixed it the conventional way. No big deal at all! For decades, I've been so fastidious about making sure my teeth are clean so that I can avoid the pain of shots and fillings. I have a hatred for shots based upon a fear of pain! But it's like Dr. Gilbert is trying to so assuage that fear that I'm thinking about coasting a bit. How cool is it that I can blame my dentist for slacking on my dental hygiene! Thanks, Dr. Gilbert!!! You're the best!!!

In today's world, one hears about Dental Implants and all the horror stories associated with them…read more I have done a lot of reading about them on the internet and talking to friends. Bottom-line, it all starts with being under the care of a great dentist. And I found one with Dr. Elias C. Almaz, in Granite Bay. I have been going to have my teeth taken care of for the past 64 years since age 18, when I joined the USAF. Many of dentist have looked and worked in my mouth. But the best has been Dr. Almaz and his team at Boardwalk Dentistry. My recent single lower molar dental implant went so smoothly I had no idea it was ever installed. From the initial consultation with Dr. Almaz I knew exactly what to expect. He clearly explained the whole procedure. And when he installed the "implant post" it went so smoothly I did not even know when he was finished. Did not feel a thing. It has been a month now since I had the final crown installed and that process was outstanding. He made the new crown fit so perfectly I do not know it is even there in my mouth. Excellent bite. Here I am at 82 years old and able to now enjoy eating a steak and other meats. Should have had this done years ago. I am very fortunate to have found Dr. Almaz and his team.

I came to this office specifically looking for a cosmetic dentist because I was very concerned…read moreabout the appearance of my teeth. During my initial consultation, Dr. Collins repeatedly asked why I was there if I already had a dentist. I explained multiple times that I wanted someone focused on cosmetic work because aesthetics were important to me, but she continued questioning me in a way that felt dismissive and strange. Unfortunately, the actual dental work reflected the same experience. I had bonding done, and one tooth was shaped incorrectly and angled downward instead of following the natural upward curve of a smile. The other bonded tooth had a rough surface texture that didn't feel properly finished. I also had a crown done, and when the permanent crown came back, the shade was dramatically darker than my surrounding teeth. It was noticeable enough that I immediately raised concerns. Since I had already waited the standard two weeks in a temporary crown, I asked whether the remake could be expedited. I was told yes, but that didn't happen. It has now been about a month in a temporary crown for what should have been a two-week process. What was most frustrating was the response to my concerns. When I explained that my bite felt off and I could no longer properly bring my top and bottom teeth together to bite things normally, Dr. Collins dismissed it and told me that I "shouldn't need to do that." Regardless of the example I used, the point was that my bite no longer felt functional or natural. Instead of feeling heard, I felt brushed off. At this point, the experience has been disappointing both cosmetically and professionally. I'm updating this review after today's appointment depending on whether the replacement crown is finally correct. ***Updating my review after today's appointment because the situation became significantly worse. First, I realized after arriving that I had accidentally written the wrong dentist's name in my original review. The dentist I actually saw was Dr. Collins. When I noticed her name on her jacket, I clarified that I wanted to correct the review so the right provider was identified. She asked if I had a good experience, and I honestly told her no. She then asked what my experience was, and I offered to show her the written review on my phone since I had already documented everything in detail. Her response was, "Oh wow, I'm not reading all that." Then she asked me again to explain my experience verbally after dismissing what I had already prepared. After that, I laid back in the chair and she started tugging on my temporary crown for quite a while. Before this, they had already shown me the replacement crown and had me compare the color against my teeth. I said it looked okay to me and asked for her professional opinion since she is the dentist. She agreed it looked fine. Then suddenly, after already handling my tooth, she asked, "Are you sure you want me to put this crown on?" I was completely confused because I had taken time off work, confirmed earlier that morning that the crown was ready, and drove out there specifically for this appointment after already waiting a month in a temporary crown that was only supposed to be on for about two weeks. At that point she said she was refusing to place the crown. I became frustrated and did raise my voice and curse, because I genuinely could not understand why I was being denied treatment after everything that had already happened. We went to the front desk area where I began recording the interaction for my records. During the conversation, Dr. Collins reached toward my phone and stopped the recording. I was initially told they would still complete the procedure, so I sat back down and waited again. About 10 minutes later, another staff member came in and informed me that Dr. Collins refused to do the crown placement and that I needed to leave. The front desk employee explained that because the service was never completed, they would not bill my insurance and would stop the claim from processing. I also requested written documentation of what occurred for my records. What bothered me most was that even after refusing treatment, Dr. Collins came back over while I was speaking privately with the front desk employee and said, "It's not my fault your tooth came out a different shade." At that point I explained that the shade mismatch was only one of several issues I experienced throughout this process. So now I am left with a temporary crown that has been in place for about a month, after it was already tugged and loosened during this visit, and I now have to figure out how to start over and find another dentist to complete the work properly. The only positive part of this experience was the front desk staff member who remained patient, calm, and compassionate throughout an extremely stressful situation.

When I moved to the Granite Bay area, I visited Dr. Bannai for the first time as I was interested in finding a dentist that was closer to where I reside. The office was clean, the staff was friendly, and my first impression was good. During my exam, Dr. Bannai stressed to me that I needed multiple crowns -- one of them "urgent." He provided me a "treatment plan" that was extremely stressful and expensive. I've always been meticulous about my dental health throughout my life, as well as visiting my previous dentist every six months, and I've never been told I needed crowns prior. This visit with Dr. Bannai really concerned me as I thought something was seriously wrong with my teeth all of a sudden. I decided to go back to my previous dentist for a second opinion. After reviewing Dr. Bannai's treatment plan as well as a full exam, my previous dentist laughed and mentioned it appears Dr. Bannai needs a new boat and did not agree whatsoever with his "treatment plan". I was blown away to hear this, but also relieved that I did not need all this work done. I later returned to Dr. Bannai's office for a separate appointment that I had booked previously for picking up my night guards. He of course asked me if I had booked an appointment to get the "urgent" crown taken care of. I politely mentioned that I visited my previous dentist and showed him the treatment plan, and he mentioned that he did not agree with the need for the urgent crown or multiple crowns in the near future currently. Dr. Bannai immediately became defensive and rude, and shortly after, I was handed a letter dismissing me from the practice and noting to visit one of his "buddies" if I wanted to see another dentist in the area. Honestly, I would never continue to see him for dentistry in the future due to this experience anyhow, just wanted to pick up my night-guards that I paid for. I left this office feeling shocked and disappointed. I believe patients should feel comfortable seeking second opinions without fear of being treated unprofessionally or dismissed. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Also, just to note, it's been 7 years since this experience and no crowns and no issues with my teeth to date. Beware of Dr. Bannais aggressive and inappropriate plans for drilling away at teeth that may not be necessary.

No one calls from the office anymore and only uses texts - it came to the point that my daughters' dental appointments were pushed out OVER A YEAR and then canceled appointment via miscommunication on text - stating I did not respond and no one bothered to call for clarification. When I called the wife owner tried to say the girls would not be seen for another SEVEN months. I used to love this dentist and his family practice but over the years the quality and attention to detail has gone way down and when I tried to talk to the owner's wife I was just told to go elsewhere instead of remedying the situation. It is extremely disappointing when we have worked with this family since 2007.
