I was referred to Confident Smiles by friends that say the quality of work is better than any other dental office in the Sacramento area. I am in the military and have received multiple visits to dental providers both civilian and DOD from all around the country. A few visits to Confident Smiles and I am convinced that it is the best dental care I have and ever will receive. If I am ever outside of California and need dental work, I will wait to be back in Sacramento to get it done by Dr.Dogra. First, the front staff is always bright and cheerful when I come to an appointment. Angel & Carmen send me reminders and are very knowledgeable about how my insurance works. I am never in doubt about what work will be completed or when my next appointment is. They even called me after my appointment to verify that I am not feeling any pain or discomfort! Above and beyond! Second, the quality of work Dr.Dogra puts into his patients is unparalleled. I have needed multiple fillings before Confident Smiles and I can definitely tell the difference in work. The dental assistant Kati was friendly and asked me if I needed anything. She was over prepared, having a bite block ready for me before I could even ask for one! The patient first environment is what really makes me want to keep coming back. I can feel how smooth the surface of my fillings are and when I close my mouth everything fits perfectly into place. Dr.Dogra was in depth and patient with all of my examinations, I never left with a question unanswered. Lastly, I have had cleanings before at other offices and I always left feeling guilty that my teeth will fall out. Not at Confident Smiles! Ana is my Hygienist at Confident Smiles and she always explains to me how I can improve my gum health instead of pointing out how bad it is. I appreciate the feeling of a positive outlook verses how bad I might compare to others. It makes me want to come back for follow up cleaning to see how much better I am doing VS how much worse I might be. Thank you Confident Smiles team! I will see you on my next visit! read more

Confident Smiles - General Dentistry Near Me - Sacramento, California

Called in to see if I was covered while checking to see when I would be able to schedule. Was able to be seen the next day! The information is sent digitally to your phone for an easier check in and info update. The whole staff was nice and informative about what was need and what to do. Love the building they are in as well! read more

Dr Dogra and the staff at confident smiles are extremely professional and helpful! I've been going to their office for 4 years and I highly recommend their dentistry. I've needed some work above just routine care and they've spent the time to break down the costs, options, and breaking down the steps so I can understand the process. I appreciate all the staff at confident smiles. Also, their location is very convenient. read more

I've only had cleaning done here, so I can't speak to the other procedures. I'm giving four stars because they told me I had a cavity that was growing and to watch for it, but when I went to another dentist they told me that there was no cavity at all. Also the quality of their x-rays weren't the best according to the other dentist and they seemed to want to give me more x-rays than the other place. Cleaning was also not as detailed as the other place, but good enough. Anyway, they were nice and professional. I would maybe give them another try if I was in the area. I like how they have parking and also let me walk from there to get boba after the appointment. read more

I'm happy I found this dental clinic! Convenient parking behind the building, very nice staff at the front desk and the hygienists always do a great job. The dentist is great too, very honest. If he doesn't see any issues with my teeth he just tells me instead of try to make a small issue seem bigger than it is. read more

I had previously only come here for cleanings, which were all great, but today's appointment for two fillings prompted me to come to Yelp to say how much I like this place. I told the Doctor that I was feeling anxious about the procedure, and he was amazing - talking me through the entire process, coaching me to breathe while he injected the numbing agent, checking in with me throughout the procedure to make sure I was OK. He was super quick with the work, keeping me posted on what he was doing throughout. I'm really glad I found this place! read more

Before you visit Confident Smiles, make sure you read the Yelp reviews. Since you're reading this one right now, you're off to a great start. I won't say anything here that hasn't already been said, so I'll try to condense my review. The atmosphere is great. Using an old Victorian as an office makes the place have a fun and unique identity. The staff is just as friendly as the rest of the reviews suggest. I was very pleased to find out that the hygienist is a die-hard Star Wars fan. That's important. The gift mug was an excellent welcome gift. Good job, Confident Smiles. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Confident Smiles - My welcome gift mug. YES! Also, it looks like I have a double chin. Ewwwww. - General Dentistry Near Me - Sacramento, California

This dentist is great 5 out of 5 stars from me. Very welcoming and you get greeted by the outgoing receptionist Sandra she is a warm welcome to a wonderful new dentist of mine. read more

I have been a patient here for about 4 years now. I used to hate going to the dentist due to bad experiences in be past, but Dr. Dogra is amazing and does superb work. I highly recommend this place for anyone that has had a bad experience with dentists in the past, or is simply looking for a reliable provider that does quality work. I have been so satisfied with the work and staff that I have recommended this place to my friends and family. Sandra has been especially helpful, as my work schedule can be tricky at times. She always goes above and beyond to help me and always greets everyone with a smile. Jose is also great and does great work. If it wasn't for this place, I would still be going through a lot of pain. As you can see, this place is so great that I know the staff by name. Thank you, Confident Smiles for for such a great experience. read more

Confident Smiles is my hero! I was first referred for a workplace accident and immediately fell in love. The front office staff always greet me by name, remember my family members, and have helped me accomplish my dental goals. The dental assistants and the hygienists are friendly and professional. Dr Dogra is an excellent dentist and very personable. I tell people all the time to check out Confident Smiles! read more

I always recommend this dentist to anyone I know! They are so caring and friendly it's a great environment! Dr. Dogra is so awesome and he is always so gentle with my sensitivity! Amazing care! Thanks guys read more

I had a wonderful experience with this office (pre-COVID)! I highly recommend them! I had just moved to Sacramento and didn't know where to go for my dentistry needs. This is the place! They even looked at my dental x-rays from NYC, where I had lived previously! read more

This used to me my dentist five years ago. I thought he was a good one but unfortunately not. I was recommended by him to have two root canals about five years ago. Both of them done by him. He never got the bite for the right side correct, the mold was done improperly, and I had to go back several times for it to be readjusted. Fast forward five years later and I'm having to replace that crown again, crowns should last much longer than that. Also when I went to another dentist and he compared X-rays, he was baffled by the fact that I needed root canals to begin with. I'm so hurt. I trusted this dentist. I'm sitting here now with two teeth that are not my own and I was only 30 at the time when the procedure was done with only two cavities ever in my lifetime. It was my fault for not getting a second opinion but I trusted him so much. They are all friendly but I would stick to only cleanings and basic care. I almost reported him to the board but I decided against it. He over diagnosis in my opinion. Why? I can't let myself go down that road. Lesson learned. I guess your asking why right this review so many years later. Reading through some of the negative reviews I see a theme, which further validates my experience. read more

I've been going to Confident Smiles for a few years now and always have a great experience. Dr. Dogra is very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. I feel that he truly cares for his patients and his staff. Everyone there is very nice. The hygienists are great, thorough and friendly. Post COVID I felt very comfortable and safe there. Would definitely recommend! read more

Highly recommended, I have anxiety about dental work and always feel comfortable coming in. Staff and doc are excellent, and I appreciate the advice I get when I go in about dental care. Also, 100% the best music ever in a dental office! read more

I love this dental office!! I have had bad experiences with other dentists in the past that left me nervous to even get checkups. I am so glad I found Confident Smiles! The staff is always so friendly and makes me feel comfortable. The dental hygienists and dentist himself explain things in ways for me to understand. As long as I live in Sacramento, I will always go to this office and recommend it to anyone looking for a dentist. read more

Went for a routine check up after not having gone for many year and was a very pleased with my visit had 2 cavities filled and I've never had a filling go as quick and painless as I did here real happy with the visit read more

I am an objectively terrible dental patient with what are becoming equally terrible teeth. Despite needing two crowns within the last 6 months this has been by far the most pleasant experience I've ever had with a dentist. The crown on my front tooth is indistinguishable from my other teeth and the staff here are super nice and helpful. Their covid protocols are good. Again I truly, deeply hate going to the dentist, but I don't entirely dread coming here. read more

Update: just came from a cleaning and the removal of my stitches....again they are so amazing!! Ana was so gentle with my cleaning! Thank you again for the amazing work you guys do. :) Thanks you dr!!! And the whole team from office to the back and through surgery and all everybody was so nice and comforting! Not only were they helpful they came up with some options and broke down every single one patiently and throughly! Super gentle! Considering I need a whole tooth removed which is obviously never fun. The entire office made the experience amazing! I even got a welcoming gift :) I'll be seeing you guys soon for more work.... :) read more

Great visit! I haven't been to the dentist in some two years so I was expecting the worst, but Confident Smiles was pretty amaze-balls. The waiting room when you come in is small, though comfortable. The receptionist was incredibly welcoming, and greeted me by name (despite it being my first visit). As a side note: I scheduled a visit two or so months earlier, but got really sick and had to cancel the day of. They were super understanding and waived the fee for cancelling on such late notice. I got a cleaning and x-rays. Note: I don't have dental insurance currently, but I'll get to that part in a bit but feel it's an important part of why I love this place. Anywho, I have an issue with sensitive gums and have always found cleanings incredibly uncomfortable. I was offered upon this admission some mouth wash and topical gel to help and IT WAS LIFE CHANGING. I felt nothing but the pleasant break up of plaque & light conversation with my dental hygienist. With a clean bill of dental health I was ready to determine my cost of service: a package of dental device for a year for $250 or $98 for a one time, new patient visit, which is a lot more affordable than I've gotten for services with insurance covering part of the cost. I couldn't believe the affordability and their ability to work with my financial situation. Two thumbs up! read more

Such a friendly a comfortable dental office!! Also accepts my insurance through my state job. Highly recommend coming here.

Dr Dogra and his staff are awesome. Everyone is so professional and friendly. They really have worked with me to get me through all the dental work I need. Really appreciate all of them read more

I was so impressed with the dental and customer service at Confident Smiles! I highly recommend it. I've had two appointments here and the dentist and staff at Confident Smiles are wonderful. The women at the front desk are friendly, kind and thoughtful - even following up with a phone call to see how I was doing after I got a few fillings. Dr. Dogra and his dental assistants are all knowledgeable and skilled in dentistry, and seem to work well together. They send text reminders, will let you bring your bike inside and are efficient during appointments. read more

I have been a patient here for about two years and I couldn't be happier with my visits. I switched from my long time dentist to Dr. Dogra based on their reviews here on Yelp. I am happy to have become their patient. Every time I have come in the front staff have been welcoming and friendly. The dental assistants, hygienists and Doctor are all friendly and professional. The Doctor makes it a point to ask how you are doing and tries to learn about you. Other staff ask about how you are doing as well. As a new patient you get a nice little care package which sets the tone for your experience as a patient here. The office has always had some type of raffle with three prizes going on for the patients which is pretty cool. I hope I win! The cleanings are quick and painless. I had some fillings touched up and have no complaints about the procedure. They always have specials on whitenings and all the regular things you need for hygiene. The waiting room is clean and organized with a clean bathroom and coffee and tea while you wait. Highly recommended joining as a patient if you are looking for a dentist. read more

Awesome experience every time. My partner and I are signed up for the family membership plan. We get 2 exams/cleaning per year and a discount on other services. We've been with them for a couple of years now. I just had 4 wisdom teeth extracted.... a pain-free experience. They did an amazing job. I had a bit of an issue with the healing, Dr. Dogra saw me immediately and fixed the issue within 1 hour. read more

I visited this office over a year ago and they were friendly and very nice. They did my x rays and cleaned my teeth well. I believe I was over-diagnosed though. Although my teeth were not in the best shape, they were telling me that I needed a deep cleaning. I did not floss often at the time as well, so when I did floss, my gums bled. They were telling me that my gums bleeding was an indication of infection in my gums, which may be true. If someone is coughing a lot, they might be sick. I see the logic. I walked out of the office amazed at how bad my teeth and gums were, but was very skeptical of their diagnosis. They kept trying to contact me after I left that day to schedule an appointment for the deep cleaning. At first, every other week if not every week. I want to say at least once a month after awhile. I remember I responded to an email or text message saying that I wanted to opt out of notifications, and thinking it was an automated system, it would do it automatically; no questions asked. I immediately got a response though asking why I wanted to opt out! Fast forward a year and some change: I unfortunately haven't changed my dental hygiene routine; flossing every so often when things are in my teeth and brushing mostly just in the mornings. I went to Majestic Dental and they find the start of two cavities (not surprised due to poor dental hygiene and length of time since last dental visit) and a lot of tarter buildup. Dr. Duong pokes around and says that although my gums aren't in the best condition, I don't need a deep cleaning. I just need to floss more often. He cleaned my teeth and scheduled my next visit for my cavities. I think Confident Smiles either is extremely preventative in their diagnosis or they were looking for ways to get money. Their constant pestering to get me back in the door for a follow-up visit makes me think the latter. I do not recommend this office. read more

Dr. Dogra and his staff (assistants and front office staff) are so nice. I'm always greeted pleasantly when I walk in. Their on-line forms make dealing with info collection and Covid protocols simple. They're good about explaining things thoroughly, both before they start work and during the work. I've only been to 4 dentists in my life, and Dr. Dogra is my favorite. read more

great dentist and staff. got me in right away and helped with my gum pain. highly recommended.

I've had lots of trouble finding good dentist offices and since I just moved to the area I was dreading finding another dentist; but this place is great! The staff is wonderful, helpful, and inviting. They don't rush you out the door and answer all your questions. Plus the dentist is very sweet and really listened to my concerns. I'm so happy to have found this place. read more

I had to block their phone calls after getting too many of them after I canceled my appointment for not having enough money to keep it. I am also against the flouride treatment they convinced me to take. ------------------------------------------- I gave them a 4-star initially. But as it is I keep getting tons of email spam and now voice mail spam. They are very pushy there to make a sale. Their $250 membership plan just isn't for me and I canceled the teeth cleaning appointment they pushed me to make since I really can't afford a whole lot. The person on the phone really pushed to convince me to keep the appointment when I said I couldn't afford it. ---------------------------------------- It's $98 first time cleaning, x-rays, fluoride treatment and exam. The $49 advertised on yelp is just the cleaning. But they are thorough and took much time to explain the x-rays and work that will need to be done. I was there for 1.5 hours with no wait time. Yours may not take as long as I hadn't been to a dentist in 6 yrs. Tight spots for parking in the small lot. I got there early and waited until someone left. So it worked out just fine. They were all pretty patient and kind. The dentist was soft spoken. Sales pitch yes but they also referred me out to a periodontist, Capitol Periodontal, for an implant. They even gave me a printout of an estimate for fillings I need with Confident Smile, $248 each. The x-ray gadget they put in your mouth was a bit bigger than I recall...but again that was 6 yrs ago, LOL. That is true about the $250 for a membership if you don't have insurance. It includes two each: cleanings, fluoride treatments, exams. Plus X-rays as needed and a home whitening package. And also 15% off all work with membership. Overall, they were pretty good at explaining and communicating. I'd go back there again for those reasons. Plus, the others were knowledgeable enough to explain the extraction, implant and crown and fillings so that the dentist didn't need to return a second time when he got busy. The little gift is just for their advertisement. I'm not too sure of all they hype on yelp, LOL. My 4-star review is solely for their communication, knowledge, kindness and explanations. read more

This office has been extremely helpful and easy to work with. The office is friendly and nicely done. It has a neighborhood vibe that is hard to find. It's a great Midtown business. The dentist is hard working, compassionate and always a pleasure to see. The front desk staff has gone out of their way to accommodate me on multiple occasions. Definitely recommend this great office and am so glad I found them.. read more

I was a little concerned and taken a back when I received a letter telling me my Dentist had decided to leave dentistry. Why? For what? Who will take care of my teeth and make me feel guilty about flossing now!?!?! Well, turns out he was leaving to attend law school, and Dr. Dogra was taking over the practice. Ok, let's see what this new guy can do. Dr. Dogra is very friendly and good natured. He found more cavities than I'd like - but he patched them right up and gave me a new crown... so while it was much longer in the chair then I'd prefer, Dr. Dogra did an excellent job making sure the bite was correct and the crown fit perfectly. I wish Dr. Jo the best of luck in his new profession - but Dr. Dogra is a great replacement. read more

First visit for a cleaning and I'm very pleased with the results! I have a follow-up for optional work I'm considering. Competent and caring Dr. and team. Very pleased and scheduled for my next cleaning. Thanks ! read more

The customer service here was amazing I was able to speak with a young lady named Sandra she did amazing on helping me with my dental needs thank you to this amazing staff read more

I am not a fan of the dentist and have avoided it to my own demise. I found this office online and read the reviews and since I had to act, I called. The office staff was very pleasant and professional. I met with Dr Gautam DDS, he provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed choice without pushing/pressuring me to have other work done as well. I appreciate him listening to my concerns and addressing those. I strongly reccomend this dentist. I have been back since my extraction and my experience was the same.... Great! I have recommended this office to friends and will continue to do so. read more

Dr. Dogra's office is the best! I think they'd have to pay me to get dental work for it to be any better. The office is nice and clean. They make me want to hang out there, they're so friendly. They're also very professional and, I think, totally trustworthy. They have digital X-rays, and they review them with you quickly. The doc is really good about explaining everything on the image. I also like the little things, like text message appointment reminders and email confirmations. Plus, I haven't been to the dentist in years. They were able to extend my appointment to make time to get a deep cleaning done. One less dentist's visit I had to make! Thank you to the dentist, the dental hygienist, the dental assistant, and the spectacular staff at the front desk- you are fantastic! read more

Very nice front desk and super nice dental assistants. Doctor is very knowledgeable and will take the time to go over all options . Clean facility and good location. Happy patient! read more

This place is great. I HATE the dentist (like most) but the MOMENT I walked in here I was greeted by wonderful, friendly staff and the dentist himself was very kind and patient with me. I had to have my first root canal (yikes) and he sent me to the best Endodontist. (Will review them too!). This office will send you plenty of reminders about your appointment-which is critical for me being super busy all the time. If there are any "downsides", I will say that yes, Confident Smiles is a little more expensive than other dentists I visited, but even with no insurance, I felt better paying a bit more to somewhere I was more comfortable-I put off my root canal for years due to being terrified of having the work done. When you find a great place, you know it-and that was the case for me here. You get what you pay for! read more

Still coming here for the last 5 years and they have always been better than great! I highly recommend this place it's the best dentist I ever had! They are always so kind and provide the best service! read more

I have been to Dr. Dogra's office a few times now, including a cleaning and getting a crown put on. I have always had a pleasant experience with all of the staff. When my original crown didn't fit, he didn't just let it go, he sent it back to the lab so that it could be fixed. I got the new crown put in today and it looks and feels great! He was very thorough and made sure I always knew what was going on. The staff is very friendly and really make you feel at ease. The only minor issue is that it seems slightly disorganized. One time I was presented with a bill and they hadn't realized that no one had actually spoken to me about the treatment plan yet, and another time I was told I would receive a call to schedule an appointment but didn't get one. These occurrences were not really a big deal though, and the staff did whatever they could to correct the issues with great customer service. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Dogra's office. The more patients they get, they will only get better! read more
