I have been coming to Dr Gilbert's office for a few years. Dr Almaz is my dentist.
Recently, one of my crowns broke and I needed it replaced. Dr Almaz and... Read More

I met with Dr. Gilbert for the first time May 28th. My initial impression was one of a very well run, professional office. My previous dentist retired and sold his practice where I remained for about a year until it seemed they were "making work" -- telling me I needed all sorts of crowns, etc.

Dr. Gilbert went over all my records with me (which I had had transferred) and I explained that I was a kind of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of person. He concurred and after a thorough exam he determined that no work was needed at this time, other than the usual cleaning.

I was very impressed with how I was treated by Dr. Gilbert and all the staff members with whom I had any contact. Everything that was said or done was explained to my complete satisfaction. I am very happy with my change in dentists.

I am blown away with how gentle Dr. Gilbert is. I am the biggest baby and I didn't even feel him give me the numbing shot. Who knew you could get a root canal and have NO discomfort. Dr Gilbert hands down is the BEST and his office staff is awesome! I am so Thankful found him!!!

I Highly recommend Dr Gilbert’s Dental practice❤️

Dr. Almaz is caring, warm, very thorough and competent. He made time to see me even though it was a few days before Christmas when I was experiencing pain. All his staff are equally warm and professional. I am grateful for this dental practice.

I had a cavity filled today with Dr. Almaz, and it was the best experience I've ever had. I was skeptical when the dental assistant mentioned there would be no numbing, unlike my past fillings, but the procedure was completely painless. They used a CO₂ laser called 'Solea' to remove the affected area, which felt like a cool breeze over my tooth—zero discomfort. Dr. Almaz’s office always has the latest technology, and I appreciate how he keeps up with new dental advancements. It makes a huge difference in patient comfort and care

Don't fall for their complimentary consultation. If they don't have updated records/x-rays, they'll take them there and bill your insurance without... Read More

The best dentistry I have ever worked with. Everyone (and especially Cindy) takes great care in ensuring you are comfortable during procedures and exams. They did wonders for my smile, working back from 10 years of neglect and abuse in under 18 months!

Dr. Gilbert is THE best dentist in the Roseville/GB area. I am so in awe of how he runs his practice and the incredible team he has created. After being at a different dentist for almost 15 years (also in GB area), I am so glad I was recommended to Dr. Gilbert. His honesty and transparency is so appreciated. I am a challenging dental patient as I do not maintain numbness easily, but he always listens to me and tries again until we hit the right spot. It’s the little things that make all the difference! He even helped me make my 10 year old bridge tooth look it’s best for my upcoming wedding day for free. He is simply the best and I’m so thankful for him and his practice!

Thank you Dr. Gilbert and staff for your gentle, calm care! I'll be seeing you more as I begin my limited ortho care in January. Happy Holidays to everyone. BTY.....the carnations, on each visit, are truly appreciated.

This is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Every single person I’ve encountered has been nothing short of incredible. Dr. Gilbert has been kind, patient, and understanding from day one. You can tell he is genuine and really cares about his patients and what he does. Making sure I am comfortable and allowing me to use my fidgets and weighted resources needed for my anxiety and sensory stimming. Vicky has been amazing and kind making sure I have everything I need and am set up with a movie for longer appointments. Cindy was incredibly sweet to me when I got my teeth cleaned and even let me use the kid products since I am not a fan of minty products. Vanessa has been so welcoming and helpful when I come in and makes sure I have an appointment at a time I am not working and very accommodating with allowing me to make payments. Dr. Almaz was able to help me with a dental emergency outside of work hours and was very calm and understanding. I have not met anyone else yet but the whole team is absolutely amazing. I no longer have to be terrified of going to the dentist. I could not recommend this place more! Best ever!

In today’s world, one hears about Dental Implants and all the horror stories associated with them. 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.

This is a staff of professional individuals who, as you can tell, really like their jobs! I've been going to Dr. Gilbert and Julie for 10+ years and I have never considered changing dentists since. I've recommended friends and family to his practice and they are very pleased, too! They do a fantastic job and make you feel like they genuinely care! Thank you Dr. Gilbert and your "team" of wonderful people!

There is complete communication prior to treatments. Explanations are clean & considerate.

Our family of five has relied upon Dr. Gilbert and his highly competent staff for over 12 years and we have always received outstanding care. They are concerned about each individual patient’s needs, they offer an exceptional experience from the time you enter. All your questions are answered honestly and sensitively. It’s small enough to be personal, yet large enough to provide options for appointments and high tech procedures. He cares about his patients and staff and it shows.

Nancy B.

Thanks for making “going to the dentist” a fun thing that even the kids look forward to. That’s talent!

Suzzanne B.

Another fantastic experience at Dr. Gilbert’s dental office. I was suffering with a toothache. Dr. Gilbert was able to build a crown right at the office with a completely pain-free procedure to replace the tooth. The whole procedure was under two hours. To say I am satisfied is an understatement. Thank you very much.

Stephen M.

Every person on the team has done an excellent job with communication, service, and a personal caring attitude!

I have been Dr. Gilbert’s patient for 27 years, and continually receive excellent service. He is friendly, gentle, patient, skilled, gives clear cost estimates before any work is done, and assembled a marvelous staff of equally friendly, competent individuals. He is constantly educating himself on new techniques and technologies, and truly loves what he has chosen as his career.
