Charles H. Margiotta, DDS

Dr. Margiotta and staff are the best. :) I was first referred to them years ago for my TMJ (a situation that falls half under medical and half under dental — not the easiest to work with!). Dr. Margiotta helped me with that and I was so impressed by his professionalism that I immediately switched to him as my regular dentist and I’ve never been happier that I did. He is always up to date on the latest technology and research that will help in dentistry, and I love the monitors that enable me to see what they’re seeing as well. Very complete on my annual teeth review and cleaning (Jackie is awesome! ^^). I have tricky teeth due to compacted teeth in a small mouth and the TMJ, and everybody is aware of it and careful, and pays attention to both my background and the current situation. Over time, I’ve moved a few times, and yet I’ve never switched from having Dr. Margiotta as my dentist — he and the fantastic team he assembled are work any extra drive. :)

I am picky as a patient, and I’ve seen 5 dentists since moving up to the Bay area. This doctor is cordial and professional and the office is clean. The most important thing to me is that they have a good hygienist who actually made me feel clean after the cleaning. The only thing is that price-​wise they are on the expensive side. But after seeing other practices (actually gotten periodontal disease under an incompetent dentist’ care!), I think this place is worth it.

Dr. Margiotta has been my dentist for about 25 years, and I have never once had anything but 100% confidence in his skill level, capability and judgment. He takes a conservative, careful and well thought out approach to treatment which to me is worth a million since with only one set of teeth, a bad experience could truly be a life changing event. He also explains steps in the treatment process (for a crown, for example) so you know what to expect as you’re sitting there in the chair.
Dr. Margiotta is an exceptional professional in every way, current on the latest technology and is a trusted member of my inner circle. He really cares about his patients and you can’t go wrong with him. The staff are also wonderful, friendly and efficient. This is a place you can completely trust with the care of your so very valuable teeth.

Ever since I was a young little boy, Dr. Margiotta has been my one & only dentist. Him & his staff are considered to be like an extended family to me. I simply could never go anywhere else. And I would never want to. This dentistry is well worth my drive. The entire staff is super friendly, very knowledgable, & highly skilled. They’re all a pleasure to see & always make my visit a painless one.
Charles & his staff are not only professional but very genuine too. It’s rare to find a place like this where people are gentle & personable. They have always done great work on my teeth & have always done things right the first time. I’m always amazed at how efficient they are. Each & every time I visit, they make my trip a positive experience & my short time there is always pleasant. I would not hesitate to refer Dr. Margiotta & recommend him to close friends & family. I’m confident my teeth are in good hands.
Thank you Dr. Margiotta & staff for always treating me so well. You all are simply one of a kind… !

My brother recommended this Dr. to me and I’m glad he did. I am very comfortable with the entire staff and Dr. Margiotta is a great Dr., skilled, very patient and answers all questions, not to mention he has a good sense of humor which makes the visit much more pleasant. Michelle and Shari at the front desk are very thorough and work out all Insurance issues (if any) promptly and also fit us into the schedule when needed. The dental assistants are very friendly and kind also. We are very content with this entire office!

Recently, our family dentist examined my daughters teeth and noted a very badly progressed cavity. They do not have the resources available to specialize in pediatric dentistry so we decided to shop around. Believe it or not, via 1−800-Dentist, we discovered Dr Margiotta’s office. Dr Margiotta and his staff are extremely patient with their pint-​sized clientele. Although my 3yo daughter still panicked when she saw the drill (& so they were not able to complete the dental work needed), she DID get past the numbing shots which they lovingly call «sleepy juice» & she still had a great experience. Dr Margiotta has the patience of an angel. The staff is friendly & extremely helpful. They seem to really care about their patients. The office caters to children from the toys to the screens above the exam chairs where kids can watch their favorite DVD (brought from home) and listen via headphones. She also returned home with treats each of the 2 times she’d visited them. Less than a week after her initial visit, we received a very thoughtful Welcome card with Princess stickers! How did they know?! And on her birthday, we received a greeting text. Absolutely incredible customer service!

I’ve never reviewed Margiottas?!
been coming to this spot for dentistry for a while. maybe as long as i’ve been in cali. all of the sweet hygienists always take care of me.
I’m Unilocal ELITE 3 years running. If I could give them 15 stars I would… does that review their practice completely?
HOLLA

My experience with Dr. Margiotta was great. I had an emergency and was in pain and Dr. Margiotta saw me right away. He and his assistant, Shari, made me feel relaxed and explained the procedure and what I could expect.
Dr. Margiotta found the problem using the latest technology and I was out of the office quickly and painlessly.
The office is very clean and the staff is exceptionally friendly and comfortable to be around. I felt like I was spending time with friends!

Dr. Margiotta is THE BEST dentist I have ever been to. Before coming to Dr. Margiotta I had three fillings that had been filled and refilled by another dentist who kept making mistakes. I was told by the other dentist that I was difficult to numb so each time she had to redo a filling I had to grip onto the arm rests to keep from jumping out of the chair. Needless to say when I came to Dr. Margiotta I was ready for another bad experience. Dr. Margiotta fixed the mistakes and made sure I was never in pain. After seven years of being with Dr. Margiotta I moved away from the area and tried a different dentist. The new dentist made a mistake on a filling that had to be redone and had difficulty numbing me (he even had good reviews on Unilocal). I decided that I was not going to deal with another bad dentist so I literally got on a plane to come back to see Dr. Margiotta and will continue to do so. The Dr. is very professional and even after my bad experiences never badmouthed the other dentists. He simply said we were going to fix the issues.
One nice thing about Dr. Margiotta is that he always gives you options and explains the pros and cons of each in terms you can understand. With other dentists I felt like they were trying to push expensive procedures on me. Since the last review I think they have let the grumpy receptionist go because the office staff is always very friendly and goes above and beyond what other offices will do. I had forgotten my new insurance card on my last visit and the office had no problem calling to look it up for me.
One last thing… Dr. Margiotta has a very nice office. He takes all his x-​rays electronically and has headphones and a tv that is mounted on the ceiling for you to watch during longer visits. If you are one of those people who dislike hearing the sound of a drill this is definitely the place to come.

We love Dr. Margiotta! He is incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, does great work, uses up to date technology, gives you praise when you take good care of your teeth, and isn’t impossible to get in to see if there is an emergency. My husband and I both use him and have been very satisfied. One star off for the incredibly rude receptionist, who acts like it’s a FAVOR if she gives me an appointment and if I need to call and change the appointment I feel like a kindergartner asking for the bathroom pass from the mean teacher. We were going to say something to Dr. Margiotta but this girl really looks like she can’t afford to lose her job or handle criticism with grace so we just kept our traps shut other than for dental work. The other staff, including hygienists are very kind and competent.
