We are looking for that one person to complete our experienced team. Have 3 days per week available. Great salary, 401k etc.

Dr. Senter had a short break following an extration ( note the wrench in hand, lol) to have us sing him a happy birthday song. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. SENTER! We hope you are having a wonderful day !

It's so heart warming to receive feedback from our patients! Thank you for valuing our services!

Jaime came into our office not very happy with the appearance of her smile. She had brown and white spots on her front teeth as a result of medications she had to take as a child and braces. The least invasive procedure to improve the appearance of her smile was a series of short procedures called microabrasion with a product called MI PASTE. Jaime is very please with the results so far and so are we! We still have a little bit more to go but with Jamie's authorization this is the before an after.

We had a wonderful time cherishing each other's company this evening. We hope all of our patients can also have a joyful holiday season. We are so thankful to have you as part of our dental family. Cheers!

"I had my 1st appointment today, several to follow within a short period of time, so I'll update if need be. Although this is something I never share, my hope is it will help someone else, that wants to maintain there natural look, but may have a more difficult case. My issues are extensive bone loss, closed bite and inferior and/or improper dental prostheses.
I am extremely impressed by this office!. Dr. Senter exceeded my expectations in communication, care and compassion. He appears to be an authority in his field, yet carried himself with humility, offering a calm yet confident and positive attitude. I did not find him to be arrogant or conceited in any way, though he certainly has a vast knowledge in dentistry. He did explain my situation in a way that I could understand, which I appreciated. His staff remained on top of things while they were busy. They're definitely well loved, which was apparent by the number of clientele present and the energy in the room. Jeri, the young lady at the front desk, was very pleasant and friendly, but also professional.
I went in feeling concerned, with some fear, anxiety and insecurities regarding my appearance and left feeling revitalized, hopeful and valued. It was, surprisingly, an awesome experience and I look forward to the process and seeing the final results."

"Dr. Senter has been my dentist (and my husband's also) for over seven years; therefore, this personal recommendation is well overdue. What encouraged me to write now is that I happened to notice how few reviews there are for Dr. Senter and his practice, Capitol Dental Group, on YELP. Another reviewer, "Chris K," noted this as well. Dr. Senter deserves an outstanding evaluation by this patient, who rates his personal attributes and staff with admiration.

Dr. Senter is a class act with a vast knowledge of and experience in all facets of dentistry. A remarkable and often overlooked measure of his integrity is this - his staff has been with him for many, many years. This, in and of itself, illustrates Dr. Senter's reputation; ability to choose highly trained, experienced and personable assistants; and efforts to maintain a family-oriented, casual atmosphere in this small, intimate, one dentist office with a cozy yet highly professional environment.

It's always been my contention that when it comes to a medical or dental office, it's undeniably the front office staff that can make or break a practice with first impressions. Jeri is the office manager extraordinaire who's present at the front desk, adept in her knowledge of a myriad of insurance plans and the intricacies of scheduling, as well as numerous other issues related to coordination of care. Tami (RDA-EF), Susan (RDA hygienist), Jamie (administrator), and Greg (dental lab technician) are all incredibly gifted and skilled in their fields of expertise. There's no prima donna in this office - only caring staff who strive to put their patients' at ease with compassion and warmth. The attitude of Dr. Senter's staff complements his level of professionalism at all times. Each member of this 5-STAR dental group merits recognition and praise.

Dr. Senter's services are performed with the most up-to-date technologies including the presence of an on-site dental laboratory rarely available in small or even multi-dentist offices. His fees are customary and reasonable. The options he presents to this patient for dental treatments always take into consideration the range of fees applicable, longevity of the procedures in terms of their life-expectancy, and overall appearance. He is gentle, attentive to this patient who has undergone numerous lengthy restorations, and willing to explain what he's doing throughout the procedure.

As stated on the Capitol Dental Group website, capitoldentalgroup.com, treat yourself to a no-charge consult whereby you can meet Dr. Senter and staff in addition to experiencing the warm and friendly mood of this office. If you're fortunate, you may even encounter the lighthearted camaraderie evident among the staff! I doubt you'll be disappointed."

Lies, damned lies, and statistics: The truth behind the importance of flossing

Very wise words in response to the article written by mr.Donn a couple weeks ago. Dr. SENTER'S thoughts on the subject: " If you don't think you have to floss, fine, don't do it. I'll see you in a year for a couple fillings and a deep cleaning. "

perioimplantadvisory.com Last week the Associated Press released an investigative report citing “weak evidence” behind the importance of flossing. This week Scott Froum, DDS, editorial director of Perio-Implant Advisory, gives the history behind this investigative report, examines what the term “weak evidence” means in the…

No more excuses!

A couple of techies out of Silicon Valley have created Flosstime Inc., a smart floss dispenser designed to help patients build daily flossing habits. Flosstime easily mounts to the bathroom mirror or wall and, with a push of a button, automatically dispenses exactly 18 inches of floss. After flossing, Flosstime lights up with a blue smile for a job well done. If not used daily, an orange frown or reminder light cues the user that it is time to floss again. To make flossing fun for kids and teens, Flosstime also comes with cute animal snap-ons. If not used every day, the animal's eyes glow warning lights to remind kids to floss!

What are your thoughts on this product? Would you recommend Flosstime to your patients?

It's 2016! Don't forget to make your teeth part of your new years resolution!

Happy Holidays from your dental family at Capitol dental group!

Every time you are at the dental chair, be thankful for modern dentistry. Happy Friday!!
