Reviews & Testimonials

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.

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

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. 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.

Dr Almaz and the entire staff at Boardwalk Dentistry are amazing! Always friendly, professional and extremely kind. I have always had a good experience at each appointment. I highly recommend them.
