Caton J. State, DDS - Citrus Heights

Periodontists handle the tricky stuff general dentists often refer out—deep gum disease, complex dental implants, even bone grafts when things get serious. It’s a specialty that doesn’t get much small talk at parties, but if you’re dealing with persistent gum inflammation or considering implants, you’ll want someone who focuses solely on that niche. Caton J. State, DDS - Citrus Heights fits that bill, operating out of a suite on Madison Ave E4 in Citrus Heights, where the strip malls and professional offices blend into the kind of neighborhood that’s easy to overlook unless you’re actively searching for it. The area’s a mix of older ranch-style homes and low-slung commercial buildings, the kind of place where you’d expect a specialist to set up shop—no frills, just the technical work.

Most patients end up here after a general dentist flags something beyond a routine cleaning: receding gums, loose teeth, or the kind of bone loss that makes implants a multi-step project. There’s no flashy signage or marketing gimmicks—just a periodontist’s office that handles the less glamorous but critical side of dental health. If you need to confirm details or schedule a consultation, the number is (916) 790-1163. For the exact location, pull up the map—it’s one of those addresses that’s easier to find with a pin than by street-view landmarks.
