Dr. Pretzel DDS in my opinion is the best of the best. I had a front tooth crown that was damaged and needed prompt care being it was 40yrs old and attach to an old deteriorating root canal. Dr. Pretel gave me a few options and I chose implant. It was extensive procedure with bone graft needed. I was very apprehensive at first worried that I would feel pain at some point but throughout the whole procedure of the implant and the bone graph I never felt any pain. Dr. Patel was so kind upbeat and let you know what he was doing at every step. The dental technician in the office and the administration was equally knowledgeable and kind and always available to answer your questions. Thank you Capitol Peridontal . Jan Saber read more

While Dr. Pretel himself is a dental magician and I would recommend his work to anyone who needs dental surgery, the office staff is beyond terrible. If there was a level beyond rude and inefficient customer service, I would place them at that level. Surly attitude, unprepared, and absolutely unprofessional. I've never come across a dental office like it. And not just me, as I sat in the waiting room each time during my visits, I saw them display this behavior time and time again to each patient that walked in. read more

I really gave this place a chance. They did surgery on me when it was not needed (found out later). I changed doctors within the group. This one was just as rude & super rushed as the last one AND again did a treatment that I found out was not going to work to start with! They just don't care. I tried 2 different perios in this practice & they both should have just said they couldn't help if they didn't know what they were doing. I really recommend anyone to go elsewhere. read more

Did not offer alternatives to painful risky gum graft surgery such as LANAP treatment for gum issues. Hard sell on expensive risky gum graft surgery that insurance does not cover. read more

It's been about 4 years now since you started treatment for my implants. I was initially apprehensive about the implant process but with your patience, knowledge and empathy I decided to proceed with the procedure. The test of time is a good indicator of quality. I could not be more satisfied with the final results! I want to thank you for not "hard selling" me. Your level of skill, confidence and attention to detail don't need to be "sold." Your professionalism and experience backed by a great staff make Capital Periodontal a place I highly recommend. read more

Simone is extremely rude and condescending. It is absolutely disrepectful the way the she and others in the office spoke with me regarding my missed appointments. No matter what you say no matter what you do she needs to make sure that you feel like an idiot. I've NEVER been spoken to by any medical or dental office regardless of missing an appointment or not. Staff clearly needs some training on customer service. I'm glad it wasn't a "good fit" as Simone called it because how could I trust someone from this establishment to work on my mouth? Absolutely horrible service, horrible. read more

The work they did on pulling my teeth and installing my implants was great, they healed nicely. However, there are two main issues that I had with them that made the entire experience unpleasant for all involved. First, I am pretty nervous about the procedures and that is not their fault but they were very unforgiving about it and short with me, as opposed to understanding. This is not the place to go if you have a common fear of having shots in your mouth or oral surgery. Both the doctor and staff have little patience for that. The other is short of a chart showing my dentist what they had done they did not communicate anything to him. He had no idea what to expect and had to look me over and measure the existing healing caps, he assumed they would have installed the actual locators but they sent me off with healing abutments, no instructions, nothing. As soon as they were done the doctor left the room without saying a word and the assistant was impatient and just wanted me out of there. read more

I had a great experience with my gum grafting. Dr Rasheed and Chelsea were a wonderful and calming team and made me feel safe for a procedure I was nervous about. Chelsea even called me to check in, so kind! read more

Always "short staffed" and will use that as a reason why you aren't getting proper service. Whole experience was terrible and rushed.

I simply cannot say enough about my experience with Dr. Towfighi at Capitol Periodontal - PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW! You'll be very, very happy you did! I've never in my life had a more professional, compassionate, gentle and seamless experience with a dental professional - ever, and Dr. Paul Towfighi at Capitol Periodontal Group is the most exceptional dentist I've ever encountered. Anyone considering full mouth reconstruction with dental implants MUST READ THIS REVIEW. You'll be so happy that you did! I am 53 years old, and my teeth began failing approximately 10 years ago due to genetic reasons. Around 2 years ago, I began to experience terrible infections and abcesses on a monthly basis. I consulted with multiple Sacramento area dentists and was always "dismissed" with a prescription for antibiotics and an indifferent manner with no direction about what my options for treatment might be. I could not find a dentist willing to take on such a complex case as mine, and even referrals provided were of no help in finding a permanent and solid plan of treatment for this excruciating and debilitating pain. The state of my teeth and what I could do was all-consuming and completely distressful not to mention costly. I was a regular visitor to the ER where I would have to stay the night on IV antibiotics and pain medicine because the infections were so severe. My teeth were in such terrible shape, I even stopped attending social events and felt bound to my house from both pain and embarrassment. Dental pain is unbearable and affects every aspect of one's quality of life. In April of 2022, I was at the very end of my rope when I consulted with Dr. Towfighi and that is the day my life changed. Dr. Towfighi was by far the kindest, most gracious, deeply empathetic dental professional I've ever encountered. He's a Periodontist but also specializes in dental implants, which is why I consulted with him. He immediately set up a game plan, beginning with the immediate removal of 4 terribly infected teeth which brought instant relief. I've had numerous nightmare experiences with dentistry and I was shocked to have absolutely zero bruising and very, very minimal swelling despite a history of having an extremely difficult time with previous extractions. In October, he extracted most of my top teeth and placed implants at the same time and once again, the bruising and swelling was minimal and the recovery time was by far much easier than any other previous extractions I've had done in the past. I was back at work in just 5 days- no idea how he does it but I'm so, so grateful. Dr. Towfighi also has an absolutely amazing staff! Highly professional, genuinely kind and obviously the very best at what they do. Dr. Towfighi's bedside manner (as well as that of Curtis-the assistant who helped him) is just wonderful and they both immediately put me at ease. Curtis even held my jaw open for me - 4 hours is a long time to hold one's mouth wide open and the recognition that I was becoming uncomfortable showed his own empathy and consideration for a patient's comfort! Dr. Towfighi even offers sedation medication to take prior to the appointment which made the surgery painless and anxiety free despite being in the chair for nearly 4 hours. He explained in great detail what he would be doing, and I never felt the need to question him. Simply wonderful, and the quality of his work is just amazing. I'm halfway there now and every single day I am just beyond grateful to have found Dr. Towfighi and Capitol Periodontal. You will not find a better implant specialist, and I have no doubt that his periodontal work is just as exceptional. Thank you so much Dr. Towfighi, you've changed my life. read more

Who knew getting your gums grafted could be so much fun?! I had the best experience working with Dr. Rasheed. He is so knowledgeable and skillful in his craft and his fun personality makes every visit so easy and painless. I truly enjoyed working with the staff at Capitol Perio and I was actually sad to have my last appointment with them. If you are in need of gum grafting, I cannot recommend Dr. Rasheed and Capitol Perio enough! read more

Poor customer service. I've been trying to make an appointment for almost 1 month. They called me, left a VM. I called back and left a VM and they never called me back to make an appointment. I was referred to them by my dentist. I have good dental insurance so I'll have to find someone else to do the work. I'll also be telling my dentist of my experience as it looks bad on them for referring me to a business that has bad customer service. My dentist has many positive reviews so maybe they aren't aware of this companies business practices. read more

Mixed feelings. Dr. Nath is great, saved my tooth, however this business is sort of a big, inhuman machine. The periodontists see patients at several locations which causes very tight scheduling on the days you want, and always a lot of maneuvering in the meantime. I had an appointment on the books for over two months and oddly didn't get a reminder this morning. I was told that they tried to "reach " me to reschedule and "couldn't leave a voicemail" and supposedly texted me as well. Ironically, they left a voicemail to tell me this. I also had a problem with them mailing prescriptions for my first surgery and I almost had to cancel it because I didn't receive the antibiotics I was supposed to take in advance. Staff is nice, but they wasted my time today, which I took off from work. read more

I've been coming here for over a year now. I rotate my cleanings between them and my regular dentist. I have dr. Lane and she did my oral surgery for periodontal work on my bottom right quadrant and it's getting better.. My teeth n guns feel healthy. My cleanings I always see Gloria. I like her personality and warm welcoming. But most importantly my teeth feel awesome!! She did my deep cleaning as well and now my teeth and gums are so much better! But I like how she cleans them and I'm not in lots of pain. I rate Gloria a 5 since I mainly see her and I'm in and out and it's never been a difficult situation. I'm always happy with my services and will continue to rotate my cleanings. They communicate with me regarding my bill /cost and what to expect.. Gloria explains any potential pain I may experience. The office is clean and they provide free wifi but u never really get to log onto their wifi. It doesn't ever really work for me and I just give up.. I connect but not so much for passing the log in. The bathroom is clean and sanitary looking. No bad odor. Oh they have Keurig coffee in the waiting area for you too along with plenty of magazines to keep you busy. They give me a tooth brush and floss and I love the new floss Gloria introduced me too. No bad experiences so far. DON'T go earlier than your appointment, I think they are booked and so you still get seen at your time. I came 45 mins or an hour earlier and I still got seen at my regular scheduled time. read more

Capitol Periodontal Group - Inside of the lobby - Periodontists Near Me - Sacramento, California

DO NOT GO THERE. It feels like a SCAM place. Staff work like a factory. I don't trust Dr.Jain to do an oral surgery on me. Dr. Jain has no time to talk to you. She actually stopped me from asking questions LITERALLY. Front desk lady does not smile. Consultation is NOT free, which they don't tell that after the fact. I only saw the doctor for 5 mins. Now I am doubting my dentist's integrity who referred me. read more

The worst place to go its like the shady mechanic who tells you You need a whole new engine do not repeat do not go here they should not even get 3.5 stars lol who the hell would go here with 3.5 stars to bad i can not give -3.5 stars read more

Please beware: I had surgery with this business several months ago. Their manager Ruby sat me down in her office and told me that the entirety of my surgery costs was covered by my insurance, over $2000. I was surprised and thrilled at the news. Ruby was smiling and told me she was surprised too, and that she double checked everything, and congratulated me on the good news. That surgery was a couple of months ago. Last week I arrived at their Elk Grove office for a long overdue follow-up appointment, and was confronted by a strangely aggressive receptionist, who told me I still owed them money for my surgery. I tried explaining that Ruby had informed me the surgery was entirely covered and I never even received a bill, but the receptionist just kept saying "well clearly there was a mistake", completely dismissively. Today, months after my surgery, Ruby has called me and denied ever sitting me down in her office and denies ever telling me my surgery was covered by my insurance. This entire happy, congratulatory meeting we had in her office supposedly never happened - even though I also never received a bill. Now, months after my surgery, months after telling me it was fully covered, they're telling me I owe them $ - and this only came up after I dropped by the Elk Grove office for that follow-up appointment. read more

Dr. Nath and the staff at the 1810 Professional Drive location have been amazing. I have had 5 visits so far and have always come away feeling good about the expertise of Dr. Nath (and Terry - assistant) and professionalism of office staff. My general dentist and hygienist were impressed with Dr. Nath's work! Highly recommend. read more

I saw Dr Rasheed for 2 implants a couple weeks ago. I wanted to wait to see how things initially healed before I wrote a review. One area the tooth was missing already, and the other had a broken tooth that needed an extraction and placement of implant. He was able to accomplish all of this in one hour! Nothing hurt at all during the process. He was very kind and cared about my well-being all throughout the appointment. The staff and his assistant were very helpful and once again trying to be attentive to my needs. Going to the dentist for surgery is definitely not something anyone would look forward to, but Dr Rasheed made me feel at ease and I was pleasantly surprised how everything turned out. I would recommend him without hesitation. read more

See all

The dentist at Davis is great when you finally get ahold of them to make an appointment. They list their hours as M-F 9am to 5pm yet when I went in on Monday at 10:30 to make a payment the door was locked & no lights on. Left a messages numerous times & still no response. Now I have recieved a past due notice in the mail with a hefty penalty. read more

I have nicknamed Kahlid Rashid, Periodontist, the "bad-ass sweetheart," as he performed a series of procedures for me including building up my jawbone from 4mm to 18mm. It was a dicey procedure, given I had come off chemo and a severe infection, and there was little jawbone in the specified area he was working. His work was seamless and complete. He was both focused and compassionate, while taking the time to educate his assistants all along the way-- a balance we don't always see in health care professionals, but a demonstration of the utmost professionalism. I am very grateful I landed in his hands. read more

When I went to Capitol perio implant I told them I wanted to pay cash up front and we decided on $3000. And after a few procedures they asked me to pay for a surgical guide which was an additional $300 which I was reluctant to Pay but I decided that an additional $300 wasn't that big of a deal. And on the day of the procedure of Dr. Nath drilling the hole for the anchor he placed a large red glob of rubber against my lip claiming that it was a surgical guide which I found out later it was not a surgical guide. He drilled a hole free hand and ultimately drilled it at an improper angle which cause my regular Dentist to have to have a custom Crown made that could not be fitted properly because of the gums being damaged by Dr. Nath and poor grafting in frt to fill in an indentation so the crown could fit properly. They further added on another $650 for s procedure that no one would explsin what the fees were for and became quite rude when I questioned them... DO NOT USE THIS PERIODONTIST read more

Be aware before going here. Management has poor customer service skills. Charge fees for canceling & is unwilling to negotiate on a payment plan. read more

I was charged $12,000 for three implants. I've paid almost $7,000 but only one implant is complete. They began the work on the other two but then refused to continue when I was unable to make payments. That was not the arrangement that we made, but I planned to have the work completed when I could afford it. However, they sent me to collections alleging that I owe them more than $5,000 even though they have not completed their work; I cannot get new teeth until Capitol Periodontal completes the implants. However, Capitol Periodontal is seeking to destroy my credit and is claiming a debt that I do not owe because the work is not done. The fair thing to do would have been to wait to be paid and then finish the work, but this place is more interested in collecting the money than getting the job done. read more

I've been to the office multiple times for my teeth. While I have healthy teeth, the bone isn't supporting them and I have one implant and soon to get another. I've only seen Dr. Towfighi and he has been wonderful explaining what procedures he will be doing and why. The treatment coordinator explained what my insurance would/wouldn't cover and what my out-of-pocket expenses would be. They explained my payment options (cash/payment plan/credit). The staff I have dealt with have all bee professional and friendly. read more

Try Dr Nath. Very professional. He had to clean up after Taiwanese doctor. Said he had to redo the whole kitchen sink. For an implant. Dr Nath had to fix a botched job from another of his staff doctor. Dr Nath is very good!!! He saved me from extreme tooth pain and implant disaster. read more

Had a tooth extraction plus a bone graph with Dr. Rasheed. All went smoothly. Fast efficient painless. They made me feel at ease. Would definitely recommend read more

I've been going to Dr. Wu for many years now and she is pretty amazing. She seems to genuinely care about her patients. Her other staff members are also very friendly. Their great service is always consistent. Highly recommend! read more

Follow up: the difference between CPG's Roseville and Sacramento offices? Night and day. No phone call from the Sacto folks demanding advance payment, no asking me the 'COVID questions' over the phone FIVE days before my appointment, no nonsense about waiting outside the office prior to my appointment, AND a terrific job by Dr. Wu. Thanks, Doc! By the way, my dentist, Dr. Shore was impressed with the surgery you performed. :-) read more

I had Dr. Jain. Her work is ok, but she is extremely rushed. She doesn't take the time to answer questions & forget about trying to reach her by phone. She's harder to reach than a brain surgeon. And the staff really try to prevent the dentists from calling you back too. So accessibility here is an issue. When things are not fully explained though patients will have questions. Also, the assistants give you one advice on after surgery care and then when the dentist comes in she gives contradictory advice. Overall, I don't think she has a lot of experience under her belt and it doesn't help that she's just trying to rush through her day to get off work. read more

I went to Dr. Nath for a second opinion and his office kindly got me in last minute. He was honest about what he could do and very accurate. It was helpful to have his explanation and professional opinion for peace of mind. When I let him know it was a second opinion, he said the visit was complementary since there was nothing more to do. He could've fairly charged me for a full exam since I had taken an appointment hour, but he let me go with no charge. Super nice and very professional. If I didn't already have a procedure scheduled, I would come to him in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Dr. Nath and his office. read more

Gloria is an incredible hygienist! I've been seeing her for a couple of years for quarterly cleanings and I always appreciate the results of my visit. She's thorough yet careful in her work, and easy to chat with. Ruby at the front desk greets me with a smile and is always so friendly, too. read more

I went here for a gum graft surgery which I was terrifed to do, but the doctor and his staff put me to ease and made everything painless. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend them. They also send you thank you notes for doing such a good job as a patient. :) read more

I had a root canal scheduled with my endodontist- but he told me I should get a consultation with a periodontist because he was not sure a root canal would work for my tooth. I had seen Dr Berrin (at Capitol Periodontal Group) over 10 years ago for a gum graft. My gum throbbing wih infection, I dropped by that same day to the office to see if if I could be seen by him again. Unfortunately Dr. Berrin was retiring. But luckily there was a cancellation and I was able to be seen for a consultation later the same week with Dr Nath. When I got to the office the consultation revealed that my tooth could not be saved and had to be extracted. My drive to the office for the consultation was over 1 and 1/2 hours. I was only there for a consultation and Dr. Nath offered to pull the tooth right there on the spot with no appointment, so I would not have to drive back to have the procedure. As everyone else left to start their weekend, Dr. Nath and Chelsea stayed late on a Friday night, and kept the office open just to get my tooth done! They had great personalities and even allowed me to play some calming background music on my laptop as I had the extraction. I was informed by Dr. Nath and Chelsea what was going on at all stages of the extraction and had a pain free, though challenging extraction. Dr. Berrin even stopped in to take a peek at the process of the procedure on his way out. And, as many people know, the most painful part of any kind of dental experience can be dealing with the front office regarding billing. But Jodi was very accomodating working with me on the billing and payment options. Instead of having me leave in pain - I got the help I needed the same day. As a group everyone I interacted with at Capitol Periodontal went above and beyond to resolve my issue. I go back on the 10th of February to get my stitches out and I am confident I will have a good prognosis. Thank You! And Happy retirement Dr Berrin :-) read more

I'm very pleased with my appointments at Capitol Periodontal. When I was first referred there, I was told it would be a few weeks before they could fit me in. However they put me on a waiting list in case someone canceled and I received a call from them within a few days saying that something had opened up. Dr. Jain did my consultation and my surgery and I am so happy with it. She did a wonderful job and she was so kind during the procedure. She has a great "bedside manner." I felt like I was in excellent hands. They provided clear instructions for before and after the procedure so I had a relatively easy time recovering and healed much more quickly than I anticipated. The billing staff was also very helpful. They provided an estimate with exactly how much I would have to pay and worked with my insurance to make sure they had all the necessary paperwork. read more

The front receptionist (Ruby) and Michelle (The RDA) are just plain rude!! On the positive side, Lori (The treatment Coordinator) was very helpful. If you need treatment I'd suggest going somewhere else, I wasn't impressed!! read more

Went to Dr RASHEED with a very complicated case. He was very knowledgeable and caring through out the procedure. I highly recommend his service. The staff were very friendly and made you feel very comfortable. read more

Dr. Berrin did a fabulous job on my oral surgery. His competency and professional practice made the whole process simple and almost painless. Thank you. read more

I never got to actually make an appointment because the front desk staffer I talked to was so...bizarrely hostile and unhelpful. I had the phone on speaker while I was trying to make an appointment and my friend in the room who happened to hear the conversation was shocked at how rude the receptionist was. It was one of the strangest customer service experiences I've ever had. I've heard good things about Dr. Towfighi, but I think I'll go see someone else now. read more

I have regular visits to this office and very pleased with the service. I see Dr. Towfighi and Gloria (Hygenist) and they are the best. Highly recommend both. read more
