Fantastic experience: Great service will be back anytime I need something
Thanks for your feedback – it truly matters to us.
Fantastic experience: All staff are so friendly and professional and were very thorough in making sure we got the best care. We have been to many others and none could accomplish what Capital Smiles did!! We appreciate you SO much!
Thank you for sharing your perspective with us.
Fantastic experience: Dr Chestnut is great, he has a gentle touch the best dentist i have had in years.
We love providing our patients with exceptional dental care and supportive, positive experiences. Thank you for your review!
Negative experience: I want to start by saying there was nothing wrong with the care I received. But... I started going to this practice because I heard Dr. Page was great. Then I showed up to my previous appointment and Dr. Page was gone. Fine. Saw Dawn the hygienist and the traveling dentist did a filling. He was great - least painful novocaine shot I've ever had. Six months later, next cleaning, and now Dawn is gone too and there's a different traveling dentist. Who also seems fine. I would just like to have some consistency in who I see. I saw my last dentist off and on for literally 50 years. It would also be nice if the office communicated staff changes to the patients before they come in. Edited to add (and minus a star): My insurance claim came back unpaid. The office did not inform me that the new dentist does not take my insurance.

Fantastic experience: The very best. Very attentive. Professional yet very friendly and accommodating. Dr Page really listens and gives you a full detail of what's happening and presents you with choices. The hygienists are the best I've ever had.
Thank you. We are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality dental care, so this review means a lot to our team!
Fantastic experience: I am so happy that I found your office. I plan on being a patient for a long time. Everyone is so nice. Thank you Capital smiles

Fantastic experience: Great Service and guides you well through the whole process.Staff and Dr very friendly and calming.
We value every piece of feedback we receive – thank you!
Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office was so kind and helpful. The dentist was thorough in his explanation and assisting with a referral, prescription, and follow up care. Genuinely fantastic experience.
Thank you! Have a great day!
Fantastic experience: My appointment was short notice but I was still seen within a few days of calling, and the staff was incredibly kind and resourceful. They made a good first impression and made sure I was comfortable. I appreciate Dr. Chestnut for the information and advocacy he provided to me as a patient.
Thanks, we appreciate it so much!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly folks // willing to work with me
Our team is grateful for your thoughtful review.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Chestnut saw my teenager for emergency tooth pain, and he and the dental assistant were lovely and explained everything. Its a very calm, quiet environment, which was a big help as my teen has had some stressful dental visits at other offices in the past. They do not take insurance, but the fee was very reasonable and it could be worth it if you have any out of network dental benefits. Finally, for me personally, it was actually a big deal that a real person answered the phone and I didn't have to leave a VM.
Your feedback helps us continue to improve – thank you!
Fantastic experience: Lovely offices, staff are very pleasant and accommodating . Just wish they were not out of my network.
Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Needed a filling repair, was able to schedule very quickly. Dr. Chestnut was great
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. Thank you!
Negative experience: I was a patient at Capital Smiles and was previously satisfied with my experience there. However, I showed up for my scheduled cleaning to find that my hygienist and dentist no longer worked there, and further only an interim dentist was present. It is incredibly unprofessional to not inform patients of such a drastic change in service. Based on several recent reviews stating the same complaint, Capital Smiles is highly aware that this is concerning to multiple patients—yet they have taken no actions to treat patients with respect and/or inform them of the change in service. Additionally, it should be noted that they are still insisting on routine x-ray schedules and thus are not following the ADA’s latest recommendations for moderation and patient-specific decisions for x-rays. Capital Smiles does not care about their patients and I would not recommend or trust their services.

Negative experience: My dentist and dental hygienist left the practice - there was only 1 dentist in practice- dentist had left in February- it is now May- they gave me no notification of change - totally unprofessional - they also have no dentist to replace the one that left
Thank you for your review! We hope you have a great day!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Page and her entire team is very caring towards people that hate going to the dentist.

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly professional-caring and compassionate I recommend to anyone
Negative experience: I have a denture on top and only 6 teeth remaining on the bottom. I went in for a cleaning and was very happy with the work. The only problem is that I was charged 269. dollars to clean 6 teeth. I asked if this was a mistake before I paid and was told it was correct. After checking around I found offices that would do a full mouth cleaning for 118.00 dollars. I called the office back and spoke to Joyce Demers, CDA,PMO and was told 269.00 dollars was correct. When I mentioned that I only have 6 teeth she said that was different and she didn't know. While I was telling her I wanted to cancel my next cleaning because I found better pricing she said "good luck" and hung up quickly while I was still talking. I'm very disappointed...I like Dr. Page.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We cannot engage in patient-specific conversations online, but we welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly. Please call us at 518-374-0317, and we’d be happy to discuss the details of this review. Thank you.

Thank you. We are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality dental care, so this review means a lot to our team!
Fantastic experience: I arrived for my first appointment and was treated with kindness and respect. The girls at the front desk helped me navigate new client paperwork, making me feel welcomed. The hygienist (Christina?) was extremely thorough in taking my history and asking me about my needs/concerns. She took full mouth x-rays with an accuracy that made the procedure go by quickly, while being gentle. When I was introduced to Dr. page, she listened intently and even sanded out a chip in my front tooth after I mentioned it made me self conscious. Wow!!! I sure wasn't expecting that!!! They all worked well as a team and I could sense the positive vibes. Capital Smiles exceeded my expectations 10 fold.
Thank you for reviewing our office!

Dr. Page & Everyone in the office are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful & compassionate. I don't feel judged or shamed there! I strongly recommend! Especially for those with anxiety around dental care.

Fantastic experience: The hygienist was wonderful. She took her time to work with me because I have very sensitive teeth. I have not had my teeth cleaned in 30 years.

Fantastic experience: Capital smiles very professional I really liked not waiting too long in the waiting room. Some dentist you can wait 1 hour. The most I've had to wait is 15 minutes thank you Capital smiles
Fantastic experience: I was a new patient going in with many concerns and quickly put at ease. The staff was friendly and professional and their concern and the care I was given was genuine. I’m looking forward to having Capital Smiles taking care of my dental needs.
Fantastic experience: New to the area and didn’t have a dentist. A crown came off less than a week before Christmas Day and a trip was scheduled for Christmas. I searched the web and picked out three dentists. Call the first dentist office, but answer was no as it was booked and the receptionist was somewhat heard not being professional. Yet, it is a holiday season. I called Dr. Erin Page’s office, and initially was told it was also fully booked but after hearing my situation, the receptionist was trying to find a spot and got an appointment. The receptionist I spoke with, the assistant of Dr. Page, and DR. Page were very welcoming and took care of me with taking time to explain the condition of the molar the crown was on, which was very helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Page and her staff.
Fantastic experience: Staff was very nice! They took the time to answer all my questions. They even tried to fit my cleaning ahead of my upcoming travel. Greatly appreciated all of their affords to try and make it happen even though at the end my cleaning will be done after I return from my business trip. Very happy with the service and interaction with the staff!!
Fantastic experience: Always a positive dental experience at Capital Smiles. Dr Paige and staff are wonderful with handling my family’s anxiety and Leslie at the reception desk goes above and beyond to be pleasant and very accommodating as well.
Fantastic experience: Terrified of dentists my entire life until I found Capital Smiles. The staff are amazing, surroundings are pleasant and the dental work is beyond excellent, and guess what? No pain! Not during, not after any of my complicated procedures. I still am nervous as another appointment approaches but each time improves my confidence.I offer them an unequivocal 5 star review. There is no one better...ever!
Fantastic experience: Very happy, I have not been the best about going to the dentist. I was looking for a new dentist near my house. I selected capital Smile because of their high reviews. It’s the truth, they are 5 stars

She is an amazing person not to mention top notch dentist, she cares about her patients. The staff is just as amazing! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and experience! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Dr. Page was very kind and helpful. Although I couldn’t get the work I needed done by her (she referred me to an Endodontics specialist) , they got me in the same day to be evaluated for pain. Didn’t do anything extra that wasn’t necessary, which made the visit very affordable. Definitely will be back!
Fantastic experience: It’s always a nice experience at capital smiles. Everyone is very welcoming, knowledgeable and kind. I’ve been to offices where it seems like they’re just trying to take your money and this office has always done their best to save me time and money. 10/10 recommend
Fantastic experience: Love the woman who cleaned my teeth. I found her to be very professional, explained everything. I truly hope she stays with Dr. Page she’s very pleasant and made my visit fun. I found her to be very thorough as well.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Page is wonderful.
