Awesome dentist and office staff. Highly recommend 💜💜💜

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

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've only been a patient at Boardwalk Dentistry for a few months; however I would highly recommend Dr. Amaz. He is gentle, caring and explains everything that I can expect with the procedure. HIs staff is above and beyond! I appreciate Vanessa at the front desk and Julie is my hygienist - both are extremely pleasant and make me feel very welcome and comfortable. It's a great office!!

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!!!

Doctor Gilbert and his staff took wonderful care of me today when I had an emergency and they got me in to eliminate my pain two days before Thanksgiving. Couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm one of those "fear of dentist" kind of guys. Thank You!

Sheila Brown Safley

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.

I first came to Boardwalk Dentistry to get a second opinion on a crown that needed to be replaced. Even though the diagnosis was confirmed, I became a patient of Dr. Almaz because I was so impressed with his thorough explanation. It turns out that I made the right move, because he is the best! The whole staff is very warm and welcoming. I'm very happy with my decision.

Chris Smith

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!

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.

It was light years away from my experiences as a child and to my generation makes those early encounters with the family dentist seem primitive. I know the facilities and high tech tools are only as good as the people behind them. You and “Team Gilbert” not only demonstrate the highest degree of professionalism but like your new office are warm and inviting.

Dr. Gilbert fit me in to his schedule after I had cracked my front tooth. He was exceptional in his work. My tooth looked amazing afterwards.

I am treated as if I were their only patient! And they give me a flower when I leave! ~ That’s feeling special!

I am very happy with the level of customer service and attention to detail from the staff and Dr. Gilbert.

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.

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.
