I saw Dr Caplanis to get titanium posts for implants. I was in a near fatal accident at lost many of my front teeth. Dr Caplanis was nothing but professional, kind, warm and caring. I felt at ease in the office and the surgery went so smooth. I am grateful for Dr Caplanis and his kind staff!! Debbie always greets us when we come in and you really feel at ease. I'm so excited to be on my way to permanent teeth again! I have gone through so much pain, surgeries and hardships after my accident that it was just nice being in a place that felt like a breeze. Thank you Dr Caplanis and staff for really caring about your patients! read more

My husband was treated so well with his perio-surgery and had a beautiful implant put in by Dr. Madi that yesterday when I had my first visit with Dr. Madi I was expecting a lot. The front office and hygenist did not disappoint! Professional atmosphere yet boating a family environment feel. I am excited to go through the process to one day have a new implant! I look forward to updating this post in a few months. read more

Dr. Caplanis is one of the most experienced implant surgeons in the Orange County area. As a former implant sales rep with one of the largest dental implant companies, I can tell you that his reputation is well known. He is a well known and well respected International speaker and expert on implant dentistry, teaches at Loma Linda School of Dentistry and has held leadership positions in many prestigious dental organizations (local and national). Not only would I go to him for dental implant and/or Perio work, but I would send my family. I also know that many in the industry use his services too, so don't hesitant if you need dental implant or other related work done. read more

Dr Caplanis's work was the most excellent of any physician I have ever encountered. His expertise and natural ability was beyond measure. Dr. Caplanis always seeks perfection when doing an implant. His staff is friendly and very helpful. They took care of billing my insurance and walking me through the procedure and helping me feel at ease. It's impossible to find a better implant doctor that will do a more impeccable job than Dr. Caplanis. My implant turned out beautifully and it a much simpler process than I ever imagined. He came highly recommended to me from my own dentist. I highly recommend him as well. You will love his work. read more

Dr. Madi is outstanding! He did such a wonderful job with my son after a freak accident. Without Dr. Madi, we would have had a very different outcome. Thank you Dr. Madi and staff! read more

Dr Caplanis and his staff have turned out to be amazing. The care has been wonderful and top notch. Everyone from top down in this office is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Hopeful I will not need another implant but if I do this is differently the office and team I would choose. read more

Dr. Caplanis is everything I could ever want in a doctor and he is what I wish all others would be more like. I was referred to him by my dentist about 15 years ago. From the very beginning he clearly was the most knowledgeable and qualified periodontist I'd ever been to and correctly diagnosed my dental issues. More importantly, he's the kind of doctor that tirelessly keeps up with medical advances and continuously hones his considerable skills. He is honest, compassionate, attentive, intelligent, highly experienced, and kind. I've had a lot of challenges with my teeth over the years. Dr. Caplanis has always been up-front with what was and was not possible. My experience has been that he will do everything within his power to solve the problem and is very clear about what to expect. In my case, he performed a full upper and lower tissue graft (in two sessions) about 15 years ago and said that the pain would be similar to a pizza burn. The graft was very successful and it really did feel like a pizza burn for 3 days. Misaligned teeth and chronic clenching caused my gum recession and ultimately multiple broken teeth. Dr. Caplanis did a brilliant job with a rear molar implant about 7 years ago. Unfortunately, I didn't correct the underlying problem until 2 years ago. Even with all that abuse the original tissue graft was structurally sound. I recently elected to addresses my self-inflicted aesthetic gum recession with another full graft. Although I've since moved to Los Angeles, there was no question about driving 60 miles each way to see Dr. Caplanis despite having access to great periodontists close to home. I couldn't be happier with my decision and Dr. Caplanis's work. I've had great results again and not even a pizza burn this time. Honestly, it didn't even feel like I had surgery. If you're like me, you rely on reviews of others to make decisions about who to see. I'm posting this review because he is a great doctor, I truly consider myself lucky to be his patient, and think others will benefit from his excellent work. read more

Dr. Caplanis is kind, thoughtful, wonderful and consistent in providing quality care. The staff in Redlands and Orange County are all kind and professional. Thank you Dr. Caplanis and staff! read more

This is one of the nicest, friendliest, most knowledgable and professional office I've ever been to. Dr. Caplanis and his staff are great! C. Green read more

Dr Caplanis is the best! I needed an implant 4 years ago to fill the space for a baby molar that didn't have a permanent tooth, and I didn't feel comfortable with another implant specialist recommended by my dentist. So my husband asked for some recommendations from a friend, and he recommended Dr. Caplanis. I went for a consultation and felt at ease immediately. Dr, Caplanis is one of the best in implant dentistry and from what I understand, highly sought after for his knowledge. The procedure was very quick and better than getting a cavity filled or having a root canal! I was able to work from home again that same day, and my recovery was quick. The office gives you EVERYTHING you need - prescriptions, post op instructions, etc - before your procedure and follows up with you the same day to make sure you're ok. Dr. Caplanis guarantees all his work, as long as you come to all follow up visits before you receive your crown and annually thereafter. This last year, I had another implant placed when another baby molar disintegrated. Seeing Dr. Caplanis again was like seeing an old friend. He remembered me and my family, and my teeth. (I had 4 baby molars with no permanent teeth. Now there are only 2 left). This time he removed the baby tooth and did the implant all at the same time which saved me a lot of procedure time and healing time. He did it all in under an hour. The recovery was a bit longer because he did both procedures at once vs when my dentist pulled my tooth first, I waited 3 months, then I went in to see Dr. Caplanis. But it went really well, and all my follow up visits have been great and very informative (how to clean/floss my teeth, what to look out for if there are any issues, etc). I look forward to my annual visits for both my implants and will go to no one else for my future implants. Another plus is that the staff are so incredibly nice and helpful. They always remember you and are so accomodating with appointments and working with your insurance. I can say without a doubt you will love Dr. Caplanis. You are in the best hands with him when you need an implant! read more

Dr. Caplanis and his staff are absolutely amazing! I recently had a tooth implant done by Dr. Caplanis and I am beyond impressed by the great work and service that he and his staff provided for me. I was fearful of what a tooth implant procedure would entail, but Dr. Caplanis walked me through the entire process. Dr. Caplanis and his staff provided me with top notch care and genuinely cared about me as a patient. I was throughly impressed with the outcome and should I ever need any kind of oral surgery again I will only go to Dr. Caplanis and his team, best service around! read more

I was helping my older neighbor with the most disturbing sequence of events. As he was depressed over multiple tests for bleeding and visits to his HMO doctor. I was driving him to all of these appointments as he was emotionally a wreck and physically a wreck. I had the amazing fortune of meeting Dr. Caplanis thru a referral form my dentist Dr. Salvati in San Clemente who said he was the best and he would not take advantage of my neighbor who is of age. Bob had come to my house with a tea bag in his mouth after having a cleaning from his dentist that caused bleeding and would not stop for hours. On an emergency basis the office agreed to see Bob and stopped the bleeding and after hearing the story of the last 30 days of pin ball doctor and lab visits Dr. Caplanis said you need to see a hematologist. WE made that search and appointment and Bob has been finally diagnosed with the cause of all of the bleeding issues. A hereditary disease known as Von Willebrand. Mystery solved by a very smart man who was not interested in the bill and fill but the man and his problem. Dr. Caplanis your recommendation has put this merry go round to an end. Thank You for your caring and understanding. Angelo Skiparnias Bob's neighbor and driver read more

The very best! I had extensive work done, the entire staff is amazing. I had failure with two other DDS. I contacted someone that teaches implants surgery at a very well known Dental College. Told this Doctor my history. He explained he could do it, but went on to tell me that one of the very best in the state is very close to your home. He stressed the importance of who I choose. I set the appointment with Dr. Caplanis, he literally rebuilt my jaw, my smile and my confidence. Mary Therese Spivey read more

Dr Madi and staff are amazing! I needed a tooth pulled and implant placed and the process went smooth with no issues. I was very nervous about the tooth removal and healing (which takes months) but the surgery was a breeze and within a few days felt back to normal. I love my new implant and if I had to do it again would not hesitate to go back to Dr Madi. He is very knowledgable and personable and listened to all of my concerns and questions. Thank you to the entire staff for a pleasant experience! read more

Dr. Caplanis came highly recommended by my dentist and they said he is excellent with even the toughest cases. I had 4 procedures that failed from another periodontist. Then Dr. Caplanis did one procedure and it was completely successful. It seemed so easy. I had free gingival gum grafting which I read can be a very painful procedure since the tissue is taken from the surface of the Roof of the mouth. They gave me excellent stent and I had no pain on the Roof of my mouth during the recovery. I was very surprised it was so easy. The final result of my gums looks great. I highly recommend going to Dr. Caplanis. If you found Dr. Caplanis, be thankful, you are in good hands. read more

If you find yourself or a loved one in a position of needing a dental implant, Dr. Caplanis is hands down the best of the best. In late December of 2018, I experienced trauma to my front tooth and was told by my dentists, Drs. Penrod, King, and Ballard, that I would need to have a dental implant. (yes, I got 3 separate opinions so trust me when I say that I do my research and Dr. Caplanis is the best!) I was terrified at first...the cost, the procedure, the overall process....And I was referred to Dr. Caplanis by 3 different dentists, as well as a family friend who has since retired from the cosmetic dental industry..plus I read his bio and reviews! I interviewed several periodontist and Dr. Caplanis stood out above all the rest. He is the leader in the field and he treats each and every patient as he would his own family member. He was patient, kind, compassionate-but also the most intelligent, advanced and experienced Doc in the business. He is always a part of the latest cutting edge technology but also trusts his tried and true methods. His confidence and experience is reassuring and he made me feel not only safe but also confident in knowing that I did everything possible to have the best results possible! I can happily now mention that I have a better smile than I could ever imagine and it's worth going to the best, if you want to look and feel your best!! Thank you again to Dr. Caplanis and the entire team at South County Periodontics and Implant Dentistry! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Caplanis at SCP&ID, since 1999. I was a very complicated case where my orthodontist sent me to him. Dr. Caplanis analyzed my situation and developed a plan in the course of 2 weeks. He saved my teeth, and corrected many issues. The staff are like family. Very personable, professional, and sincere. They truly care about the patients. This office is my favorite appointment I look forward to twice a year! God bless you all for all you do! read more

Worked in, seen quickly and so expertly and so well taken care of, I knew this was the place for me. I've been to other periodontist offices across the United States and this is so far and above all of those, I can't begin to tell you. The follow-up and practical advise as well as the experience and expertise and thoughtfulness of the doctor and staff, almost made me glad I had a tooth infection. I give them a 6+! read more

I highly recommend DR NICHOLAS if you have a gum receding problem. 2 months ago he performed gum graft for me, the result was so impressive and the pain wasnt bad at all. I didnt have any problem during healing process and the pain wasnt really bad. I like that you can call and ask them anytime if you have questions. The staff are very friendly and professional. Excellent accommodations. read more

Dr Madi, Zach and the entire office is great! It's the second time I've been to their office for oral surgery. You can't go wrong going to South County Periodontics for treatment. This particular surgery made me exceptionally nervous, but everyone was so nice and did their best to make me feel at ease. Recovery was easy, as promised, and while still not complete with my follow up appointments, everything is going according to plan so far! Can't give them a high enough recommendation. read more

I went for my first visit to South County Periodontics for a consultation to find out if implants for a few teeth were an option for me. Everyone in the office was very friendly and helpful. Eric, a surgical assistant, first took me into a treating room, settled me in and asked me pertinent questions. Then, Dr. Madi, D.M.D., M.S., came in and spent a great deal of time examining my teeth and gums and going over everything. He ordered a bone scan of my mouth -- teeth and jawbone, to determine if it was possible to do implants. After he studied and scans, he came back in and went over them with me, and we discussed the options I had. I was extremely impressed with the entire process -- the thoroughness of the exam, the explanations of findings, discussions of treatment choices (which were totally left up to me), and the pleasant, friendly environment the entire time. I enjoyed my appointment with Eric and Dr. Madi and have scheduled further appointments with them. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Caplanis and his staff! I was treated like family and highly recommend him to everyone i know!

Amazing Doctor! I can not say enough good stuff about Dr. Caplanis and his staff!

Dr. Madi and the entire staff are wonderful. Everyone is very professional while also being warm and friendly. You feel welcome and comfortable as soon as you step foot in the door! I appreciate that Dr. Madi explained my options so that I could make an informed decision. He is extremely good at what he does! I can understand why my dentist referred me to South County Periodontics and said they were the best! read more

If you are looking for a periodontist, if you are having problems with your gums, loose teeth or any other issues, the only place you should go is to South County Periodontics and ask for Dr. Imadi. The staff at this office are amazing, helpful, honest and they truly care about the patients. They make every person feel as if they are their only patient. Last year I had a loose tooth and went to three different professionals and they all told me that they have to pull my tooth out along with the other two teeth supporting the loose tooth. They also told me that I have to have deep cleaning done on both upper and lower teeth which was going to cost me alot of money out of pocket. I was devastated to say the least. Then I found South County Periodontics by searching on google. From the minute I arrived there, the staff was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. Then I was introduced to Dr. Imadi. I was extremely depressed and sad over having to lose a tooth or three! Dr. Imadi began by telling me that he will do everything he can to save the loose tooth. After taking the x-rays, he told me what the plan will be to fix my tooth. He asked about my health and the stress that I was under and explained that all of these were a strong factor in the bone loss that I was experiencing. He was so honest and told me that I only had to have deep cleaning done on the upper teeth and not the bottom teeth as all the other dentists had told me. He said that after the cleaning, he will do a surgery and put a stent (sp?) to keep the three teeth together and to support the middle tooth which was loose. The surgery was successful and I barely had any pain afterwards and did not have to take the pain pills. After the stitches were removed by him (he came in on his day off to accommodate my schedule), he told me what to do to keep my teeth clean. I had a follow up checkup today and he was really impressed with the progress I made with my teeth since the first day that I walked into his office back in September. I had deep pockets back in September and today when he measured the same teeth, the pockets had gone down from +10 to 2!! I am so thankful for Dr. Imadi and for what he has done for me. I highly recommend going to him when you think there are no other options available. read more

Dr Caplanis is absolutely the best in the business. When I found out that I would have to have a front tooth extracted and an implant put in I was devastated and absolutely terrified. At the time, I lived in AZ andI went to five different specialists but just wasn't satisfied with anyone of them, I just didn't feel that any of the Dr.'s I went to were confident in a getting good results. I was referred to Dr. Caplanis by a previous dentist that I really loved when I lived in California and was immediately put at ease, he reassured me that I had nothing to worry about and that he would take care of everything! Having to travel back and forth from AZ to CA was tricky but Dr. Caplanis and his team was accommodating and they helped make sure the procedure went smoothly. The results are impeccable and I am so grateful to have gone through the implant procedure on my front with Dr. Caplanis, he is wonderful! read more

My family physician referred me to Dr. Caplanis. If you want "the" Very Best, Dr. Caplanis "is" the Very Best. He performed 5 implants two months ago today and I am happy with the results. I can eat "almost" everything, but that too will change in the next few months (when I will be able to eat everything). Read about him! His credentials are "so" impressive. He and his staff (Debbie, Jessica, Eric and the rest of the staff) are so caring and pleasant. I feel very comfortable in his office and would highly recommend him for your needs. I'm so glad I did! If I could give him 5 more stars, I would. Thank You Dr. Caplanis! read more

My husband had to have major dental surgery, and he was referred to Dr. Caplanis. I was very impressed with the caring and gentle nature of the entire staff. They took great care of him, and Dr. Caplanis even joked a bit with me, which I appreciated as it helped ease the worry! His staff was careful to make sure we understood all the post-surgery instructions, and didn't mind going over a few things again with us. They also called later at home to check on him. Great doctor and I would recommend him to others. read more

Dr. Caplanis was very outgoing, kind, and professional while my daughter was having a frenectomy surgery preformed. He answered all of our questions and was very thorough. The other staff members were also very kind and always asked how our day had been. We definitely recommend him to you no matter what your needs are and will see him for our other oral surgery needs. My daughter's surgery turned out to go very smoothly and was performed with great precision, and is now healing very nicely. The office also has a very nice environment and we will definitely be back!! read more

Had excellent experience with him and office staff/assistants. Had good prior implant experiences in the SF Bay Area and Central Coast and he's by far the best. Absolutely recommend him and staff. read more
